whole_a matter_n we_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o these_o strict_a and_o indispensable_a statute_n in_o former_a time_n as_o well_o as_o now_o and_o in_o all_o time_n to_o come_v have_v and_o will_v create_v great_a trouble_n in_o this_o college_n unless_o there_o be_v in_o the_o sovereign_a a_o visitatorial_n as_o well_o as_o dispense_v power_n to_o terminate_v endless_a quarrel_n when_o as_o in_o this_o case_n both_o party_n shall_v insist_v upon_o grammatical_a and_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o though_o the_o bishop_n of_o winchestr_n have_v a_o power_n of_o interpretation_n yet_o he_o be_v so_o tie_v up_o to_o the_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n that_o he_o must_v unavoidable_o be_v put_v some_o time_n to_o great_a strait_n to_o determine_v matter_n ☞_o second_o however_o rigid_o the_o statute_n seem_v to_o be_v word_v yet_o none_o can_v judge_v that_o the_o king_n dispense_v power_n can_v be_v restrain_v since_o neither_o the_o founder_n can_v so_o bind_v either_o his_o sovereign_n or_o the_o pope_n nor_o can_v any_o of_o those_o bound_v their_o successor_n by_o any_o charter_n or_o grant_v from_o such_o inhaerent_a

some_o case_n may_v happen_v whereby_o the_o king_n of_o england_n may_v judge_v it_o convenient_a to_o alter_v they_o so_o that_o i_o reasonable_o think_v the_o utmost_a of_o his_o design_n and_o hope_n may_v be_v that_o the_o society_n itself_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o power_n of_o alter_v they_o but_o to_o exclude_v the_o sovereign_n by_o their_o prerogative_n or_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o suspend_v alter_v or_o abrogate_v they_o be_v as_o much_o beyond_o his_o power_n to_o enjoin_v as_o it_o be_v vanity_n in_o he_o to_o presume_v will_v thereby_o be_v effect_v four_o in_o the_o

statute_n for_o election_n if_o the_o bishop_n can_v not_o interpret_v their_o statute_n but_o in_o the_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n for_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a it_o may_v be_v know_v by_o a_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n whether_o they_o be_v fellow_n or_o not_o and_o if_o they_o be_v fellow_n the_o precedent_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v by_o oath_n to_o admit_v their_o
