in_o the_o homily_n be_v wholesome_a and_o good_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v necessary_a also_o for_o all_o time_n but_o this_o worthy_a gentleman_n be_v herein_o much_o mistake_v strong_a meat_n as_o

upon_o i_o thus_o there_o be_v find_v in_o my_o study_n at_o lambeth_n two_o book_n of_o king_n james_n his_o coronation_n one_o of_o they_o have_v this_o clause_n or_o addition_n in_o it_o and_o

which_o have_v this_o addition_n in_o it_o or_o some_o great_a mistake_n first_o if_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n only_o than_o it_o be_v no_o crime_n and_o wilful_a error_n it_o can_v not_o be_v for_o be_v name_v one_o of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o ceremony_n i_o go_v to_o my_o predecessor_n and_o desire_v a_o book_n to_o see_v by_o it_o what_o be_v former_o do_v he_o deliver_v i_o this_o now_o in_o question_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o have_v more_o or_o no_o nor_o do_v i_o know_v that_o any_o one_o of_o they_o differ_v from_o other_o therefore_o no_o wilful_a error_n for_o i_o have_v no_o choice_n to_o make_v of_o this_o book_n which_o have_v the_o addition_n before_o that_o which_o have_v it_o not_o but_o thankful_o take_v that_o which_o he_o give_v i_o but_o second_o if_o one_o book_n of_o king_n james_n his_o coronation_n in_o which_o i_o can_v have_v no_o hand_n have_v this_o addition_n in_o it_o as_o be_v confess_v then_o be_v not_o this_o a_o new_a

place_n he_o say_v there_o be_v in_o this_o book_n twenty_o alteration_n more_o and_o all_o or_o most_o in_o my_o hand_n be_v it_o so_o for_o i_o be_v never_o suffer_v to_o have_v the_o book_n to_o

sense_n in_o some_o place_n and_o good_a english_a in_o other_o and_o the_o book_n be_v trust_v with_o i_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o do_v it_o with_o my_o own_o hand_n but_o open_o at_o the_o committee_n all_o yet_o two_o thing_n as_o matter_n of_o some_o moment_n mr._n brown_a check_v at_o 1._o the_o one_o be_v that_o confirm_v be_v change_v into_o perform_v if_o it_o be_v so_o perform_v be_v the_o great_a and_o more_o advantageous_a to_o the_o subject_a because_o it_o include_v execution_n which_o the_o other_o word_n do_v not_o nor_o do_v this_o word_n hinder_v but_o that_o the_o

they_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o for_o i_o be_v never_o suffer_v to_o have_v this_o book_n in_o my_o hand_n thorough_o to_o peruse_v nor_o under_o favour_n do_v i_o believe_v this_o alteration_n be_v so_o make_v as_o it_o be_v urge_v in_o the_o book_n which_o i_o have_v by_o i_o and_o be_v transcribe_v from_o the_o other_o it_o be_v confirm_v 2._o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v say_v to_o answer_n i_o will_v for_o i_o do_v but_o when_o will_v he_o why_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n which_o be_v much_o more_o than_o i_o do_v for_o the_o present_a so_o if_o this_o

in_o all_o the_o latin_a copy_n there_o be_v a_o latitude_n leave_v for_o they_o that_o be_v trust_v to_o add_v to_o those_o interrogatory_n which_o be_v then_o put_v to_o the_o king_n any_o other_o

4._o mr._n brown_n four_o and_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o i_o make_v this_o alteration_n of_o the_o oath_n because_o it_o
agree_v as_o he_o say_v with_o my_o judgement_n for_o that_o in_o a_o paper_n of_o bishop_n harsnett'_v there_o be_v a_o marginal_a note_n in_o my_o hand_n that_o salvo_n jure_fw-la coronae_fw-la be_v

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

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
