much_o power_n to_o the_o parliament_n in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n as_o to_o the_o church_n this_o mr._n brown_n say_v take_v away_o all_o authority_n from_o parliament_n in_o that_o kind_n but_o under_o favour_n this_o take_v away_o nor_o all_o nor_o any_o that_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o not_o all_o for_o my_o word_n be_v about_o give_v so_o much_o power_n now_o he_o that_o will_v not_o have_v so_o much_o give_v to_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o do_v not_o take_v away_o all_o from_o either_o not_o any_o that_o be_v due_a to_o they_o for_o my_o word_n not_o meddle_v simple_o with_o parliamentary_a power_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o comparative_a word_n so_o much_o my_o intention_n must_v needs_o be_v to_o have_v dr._n potter_n so_o to_o consider_v of_o his_o word_n as_o that_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n may_v not_o be_v ascribe_v to_o parliament_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v plain_a in_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o law_n the_o word_n of_o the_o 1_o statute_n be_v or_o such_o as_o shall_v hereafter_o be_v order_v judged_n or_o determine_v to_o be_v heresy_n by_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n in_o this_o realm_n with_o the_o

the_o church_n for_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o church_n or_o clergy_n can_v be_v give_v but_o in_o convocation_n and_o so_o the_o law_n require_v it_o now_o assent_n in_o convocation_n can_v be_v give_v but_o there_o must_v precede_v a_o debate_n a_o judge_a a_o vote_v and_o a_o determine_n therefore_o the_o determine_a power_n for_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o the_o doctrine_n heresy_n or_o no_o heresy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o judge_a and_o determine_v power_n for_o bind_v to_o obedience_n and_o for_o punishment_n be_v in_o the_o parliament_n with_o this_o

without_o this_o assent_n of_o the_o church_n in_o convocation_n and_o that_o such_o a_o synod_n and_o convocation_n as_o be_v choose_v and_o assemble_v as_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o this_o realm_n require_v to_o this_o mr._n brown_n in_o his_o reply_n upon_o i_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o say_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o that_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o one_o eliz._n be_v for_o heresy_n only_o and_o the_o adjudge_v of_o that_o but_o meddle_v not_o with_o the_o parliament_n power_n in_o other_o matter_n of_o religion_n if_o it_o be_v for_o heresy_n only_o that_o the_o church_n alone_o shall_v not_o so_o determine_v heresy_n as_o to_o bring_v those_o grievous_a punishment_n which_o the_o law_n lay_v upon_o it_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o any_o subject_a without_o determination_n in_o parliament_n then_o be_v the_o church_n in_o convocation_n leave_v free_a also_o in_o other_o matter_n of_o religion_n according_a to_o the_o first_o clause_n in_o
