be_v two_o the_o one_o because_o the_o office_n of_o king_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n inheritance_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o all_o law_n that_o office_n of_o inheritance_n be_v rather_o

of_o their_o jurisdiction_n which_o be_v as_o great_a as_o either_o their_o birthright_n from_o their_o ancestor_n or_o their_o sword-right_a from_o god_n make_v they_o and_o therefore_o moses_n

from_o god_n substitute_n elder_n and_o judge_n how_o much_o more_o other_o king_n and_o prince_n there_o be_v a_o 3_o reason_n likewise_o not_o much_o from_o the_o present_a purpose_n and_o that_o be_v that_o king_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o own_o patrimony_n be_v usual_o party_n in_o suit_n and_o then_o their_o judge_n stand_v

not_o patrimonial_a or_o hereditary_a a_o office_n worthy_a of_o science_n confidence_n and_o qualification_n and_o for_o the_o second_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a their_o jurisdiction_n be_v ample_a and_o spacious_a and_o that_o their_o time_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v between_o their_o labour_n as_o well_o in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n as_o government_n and_o jurisdiction_n but_o i_o do_v

ever_o so_o though_o more_o or_o less_o burdenous_a to_o the_o suitor_n as_o the_o chancellor_n be_v more_o or_o less_o able_a to_o give_v dispatch_n and_o if_o heed_n be_v take_v to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v before_o that_o the_o bishop_n labour_n in_o the_o word_n must_v take_v up_o a_o principal_a part_n of_o his_o time_n so_o i_o may_v say_v again_o that_o matter_n of_o state_n have_v ever_o

therefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o bishop_n who_o circuit_n be_v less_o ample_a and_o the_o cause_n in_o nature_n not_o so_o multiply_v where_o the_o help_n of_o reference_n
