not_o always_o the_o most_o know_v in_o all_o ecclesiastical_a case_n neither_o be_v they_o at_o all_o indifferent_a and_o impartial_a in_o many_o which_o concern_v their_o own_o honour_n and_o profit_n as_o the_o world_n feel_v to_o his_o regret_n therefore_o for_o jurisdiction_n they_o be_v not_o the_o most_o competent_a but_o be_v they_o of_o what_o use_v soever_o they_o may_v still_o remain_v subordinate_a and_o at_o the_o prince_n election_n and_o admit_v of_o ad_fw-la consilium_fw-la solum_fw-la not_o ad_fw-la consensum_fw-la and_o it_o have_v be_v happy_a for_o all_o

subordination_n for_o whether_o the_o order_n of_o prince_n be_v more_o sacred_a than_o that_o of_o bishop_n or_o not_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o priest_n for_o a_o obedience_n they_o owe_v and_o must_v pay_v be_v it_o to_o the_o one_o order_n or_o the_o other_o our_o bishop_n at_o this_o day_n stand_v much_o upon_o their_o divine_a right_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o they_o refer_v their_o style_n to_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n immediate_o not_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o king_n and_o though_o in_o word_n they_o acknowledge_v a_o supremacy_n of_o power_n to_o remain_v to_o the_o king_n yet_o indeed_o i_o think_v they_o mean_v rather_o a_o priority_n of_o order_n whatsoever_o supremacy_n they_o mean_v if_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o make_v they_o mere_o subordinate_a and_o dependent_a so_o that_o the_o king_n may_v limit_v alter_v or_o extinguish_v their_o jurisdiction_n as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v to_o his_o civil_a judge_n they_o derogate_v much_o from_o his_o kingly_a office_n bishop_n for_o their_o claim_n of_o jurisdiction_n ought_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o alone_o do_v exercise_v it_o over_o all_o in_o all_o cause_n from_o our_o saviour_n day_n till_o the_o entrance_n of_o christian_a prince_n and_o that_o be_v clear_v they_o must_v further_o prove_v that_o those_o time_n also_o be_v lead_v and_o precedentary_a to_o we_o in_o both_o these_o their_o proof_n be_v lame_a especial_o in_o the_o latter_a for_o neither_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n the_o same_o thing_n as_o jurisdiction_n nor_o be_v jurisdiction_n now_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n nor_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o time_n now_o the_o same_o as_o then_o in_o those_o day_n either_o christian_n be_v to_o implead_v one_o another_o before_o infidel_n magistrate_n whatsoever_o the_o case_n be_v criminal_a or_o civil_a spiritual_a or_o temporal_a or_o else_o they_o be_v to_o erect_v some_o tribunal_n in_o the_o church_n or_o else_o they_o be_v to_o await_v no_o justice_n at_o all_o and_o because_o some_o judicature_n within_o the_o church_n be_v most_o fit_a therefore_o christ_n himself_o according_a to_o the_o exigence_n of_o those_o time_n do_v endow_v his_o church_n with_o a_o divine_a economy_n which_o be_v partly_o miraculous_a and_o of_o use_n then_o but_o not_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v then_o internal_o incite_v such_o and_o such_o man_n at_o such_o time_n to_o reside_v and_o preside_v in_o such_o and_o such_o place_n and_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n at_o some_o time_n can_v judge_v by_o inspiration_n without_o proof_n and_o allegation_n and_o can_v execute_v sentence_n of_o death_n or_o other_o spiritual_a punishment_n upon_o secret_a hypocrite_n not_o entrench_v upon_o temporal_a authority_n but_o in_o these_o time_n this_o discipline_n be_v useless_a and_o therefore_o decay_v whatsoever_o the_o offence_n than_o be_v what_o injury_n or_o trespass_n soever_o betwixt_o brother_n and_o brother_n the_o only_a remedy_n be_v dic_fw-la ecclesiae_fw-la and_o yet_o that_o precept_n serve_v as_o strong_a for_o temporal_a as_o spiritual_a trespass_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v enforce_v now_o to_o continue_v unless_o we_o mean_v to_o drown_v all_o temporal_a authority_n as_o for_o the_o extent_n also_o of_o spiritual_a power_n in_o those_o day_n i_o will_v only_o cite_v a_o learned_a politician_n of_o the_o popish_a religion_n who_o admit_v it_o seem_v that_o the_o key_n of_o heaven_n be_v give_v to_o saint_n peter_n alone_o and_o his_o successor_n and_o not_o to_o all_o bishop_n

of_o christ_n mystery_n only_o wherefore_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n ecclesiastical_a authority_n may_v approve_v and_o secular_a can_v condemn_v but_o in_o matter_n of_o policy_n what_o all_o the_o prelate_n in_o the_o world_n approve_v temporal_a authority_n may_v condemn_v it_o be_v a_o great_a wrong_n to_o pretend_v because_o christ_n have_v give_v saint_n peter_n the_o cognizance_n and_o power_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o forbid_v he_o the_o earthly_a contrary_a to_o this_o precept_n to_o extend_v spiritual_a thing_n to_o temporal_a saint_n augustine_n often_o say_v that_o grace_n

all_o thing_n repugnant_a to_o public_a quietness_n and_o honesty_n and_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o take_v away_o this_o authority_n from_o magistrate_n he_o only_o add_v power_n to_o his_o minister_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n not_o know_v by_o nature_n but_o revelation_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v this_o power_n of_o open_v or_o shut_v heaven_n of_o bind_v and_o loose_v sin_n be_v

thereby_o the_o same_o learned_a papist_n write_n that_o the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n continue_v in_o unity_n and_o charity_n for_o the_o space_n of_o nine_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o this_o peace_n be_v easy_o keep_v because_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v then_o in_o the_o canon_n to_o which_o all_o church_n acknowledge_v themselves_o equal_o subject_a
