suppose_v the_o next_o thing_n too_o that_o bishop_n be_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n there_o for_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o land_n and_o honour_n that_o pertain_v to_o their_o place_n as_o the_o earl_n and_o baron_n be_v for_o their_o successor_n in_o their_o own_o land_n and_o honour_n for_o be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o successor_n that_o usual_o have_v not_o natural_a legitimate_a relation_n to_o the_o present_a bishop_n in_o any_o degree_n of_o consanguinity_n or_o affinity_n and_o those_o of_o earl_n and_o baron_n which_o be_v their_o proper_a heir_n at_o law_n and_o may_v claim_v and_o must_v enjoy_v the_o same_o honour_n which_o their_o ancestor_n have_v hold_v before_o they_o if_o not_o taint_v in_o blood_n no_o difference_n between_o those_o that_o can_v no_o more_o be_v deny_v place_n in_o parliament_n without_o confusion_n of_o all_o than_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o government_n thereof_o can_v be_v turn_v up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o those_o who_o first_o creep_v in_o by_o favour_n to_o serve_v a_o conqueror_n turn_v by_o take_v off_o their_o dependence_n upon_o the_o pope_n and_o fasten_v it_o upon_o himself_o and_o can_v derive_v no_o high_o for_o sit_v as_o now_o they_o do_v in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n than_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o so_o high_a and_o therefore_o by_o another_o act_n of_o parliament_n may_v be_v discharge_v now_o where_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o title_n be_v so_o great_a between_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o earl_n or_o temporal_a baron_n both_o to_o their_o land_n and_o honour_n and_o vote_n in_o parliament_n i_o much_o fear_n that_o the_o nobility_n and_o temporal_a lord_n will_v hardly_o in_o their_o house_n allow_v this_o doctrine_n which_o yet_o be_v fit_a for_o they_o to_o consider_v of_o than_o for_o i_o to_o confute_v and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o only_o with_o this_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v find_v cause_n to_o reject_v this_o position_n as_o heterodox_n and_o deny_v the_o bishop_n to_o be_v in_o parliament_n for_o their_o successor_n in_o land_n and_o honour_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n or_o upon_o as_o good_a and_o immovable_a title_n as_o the_o nobility_n be_v for_o they_o then_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o do_v stand_v yet_o good_a as_o to_o earl_n and_o baron_n and_o it_o be_v no_o way_n fit_v that_o bishop_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o legislative_a power_n over_o the_o honour_n inheritance_n person_n and_o liberty_n of_o earl_n and_o baron_n as_o these_o have_v or_o aught_o to_o
