A95750	A nevv discovery of old pontificall practises for the maintenance of the prelates authority and hierarchy. Evinced by their tyranicall persecution of that reverend, learned, pious, and worthy minister in Jesus Christ, Mr. John Udall, in the raigne of Queene Elizabeth. To give satisfaction to all those that blindely endeavour to uphold episcopall government, that their lordly rule in the purest times of the said queene, is the very same with that they have exercised ever since, even to these times. Together with the prelates devises to make him submit, and to subscribe to submissions of their own contriving and invention. And also King James his letter out of Scotland to the queene, in the behalfe of Mr. Vdall and all other persecuted ministers in her realme.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.; James I, King of England, 1566-1625.	1643 (1643)	Wing U14; Thomason E87_6; ESTC R212794	52,416	53

church_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therein_o be_v the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n profitable_a and_o comfortable_a to_o every_o one_o that_o right_o partake_v thereof_o in_o which_o regard_n i_o have_v be_v and_o do_v yet_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o preacher_n in_o the_o same_o church_n and_o have_v communicate_v

which_o require_v a_o subscription_n to_o the_o article_n of_o religion_n so_o far_o as_o they_o contain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o sacrament_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 3._o i_o do_v believe_v that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n her_o majesty_n have_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v a_o supreme_a authority_n over_o all_o person_n in_o all_o cause_n both_o ecclesiastical_a

shall_v command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o god_n word_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o subject_n to_o rebel_v or_o resist_v no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o thought_n but_o with_o patience_n and_o humility_n to_o bear_v all_o the_o punishment_n lay_v upon_o they_o seek_v only_o by_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o supplication_n to_o authority_n and_o such_o like_a peaceable_a mean_n to_o have_v ●aults_n amend_v 4._o i_o do_v believe_v that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o church_n right_o reform_v aught_o to_o be_v govern_v ecclesiastical_o by_o the_o minister_n assist_v with_o elder_n and_o this_o be_v not_o my_o private_a judgement_n but_o such_o as_o i_o have_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v confirm_v in_o by_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n of_o ancient_a and_o latter_a time_n and_o have_v see_v practise_v with_o much_o peace_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n in_o europe_n and_o even_o by_o those_o exile_n which_o her_o majesty_n to_o her_o great_a honour_n have_v hitherto_o protect_v 5._o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n ought_v mere_o to_o concern_v the_o soul_n and_o may_v not_o impeach_v any_o subject_a much_o less_o any_o prince_n in_o the_o liberty_n of_o body_n dominion_n good_n or_o any_o earthly_a privilege_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o therefore_o the_o papal_a excommunication_n that_o depose_v prince_n and_o free_v their_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n or_o any_o part_n of_o christian_a obedience_n to_o civil_a authority_n be_v blasphemous_a against_o god_n injurious_a to_o all_o man_n and_o direct_o contrary_a to_o god_n word_n neither_o do_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o christian_a prince_n ought_v otherwise_o to_o be_v
