to_o say_v without_o offend_v the_o prerogative_n royal_a of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n &_o the_o law_n &_o custom_n of_o the_o realm_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o statute_n it_o be_v

that_o do_v practice_v superiority_n over_o their_o inferior_a brethren_n and_o in_o king_n edward_n day_n the_o say_a bb._n obtain_v a_o statute_n whereby_o they_o be_v authorise_v to_o keep_v their_o court_n in_o the_o king_n name_n the_o which_o statute_n be_v repeal_v in_o queen_n mary_n day_n and_o be_v not_o revive_v in_o her_o majesty_n time_n that_o now_o be_v whereupon_o it_o be_v doubtful_a to_o i_o by_o what_o authority_n the_o bishop_n do_v keep_v their_o court_n now_o in_o their_o own_o name_n because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o prerogative_n royal_a of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n that_o any_o shall_v keep_v a_o court_n without_o sufficient_a warrant_n from_o the_o crown_n whereupon_o i_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o bishopp_n do_v keep_v their_o court_n now_o by_o prescription_n &_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o bb._n may_v prescribe_v that_o king_n henry_n the_o 8._o give_v they_o authority_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o 25._o of_o his_o reign_n to_o have_v authority_n and_o rule_n over_o their_o inferior_a brethren_n as_o ample_a as_o they_o have_v in_o the_o pope_n time_n but_o this_o be_v no_o special_a warrant_n for_o they_o to_o keep_v their_o court_n by_o and_o that_o in_o their_o own_o name_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v none_o other_o warrant_n to_o keep_v their_o court_n as_o they_o do_v now_o in_o their_o own_o name_n to_o my_o knowledge_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v they_o obtain_v a_o statute_n in_o king_n edward_n day_n to_o keep_v their_o court_n by_o in_o the_o king_n name_n now_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a allegation_n that_o the_o bishopp_n shall_v claim_v authority_n at_o this_o present_a to_o keep_v their_o court_n in_o their_o own_o name_n as_o they_o do_v by_o prescription_n because_o the_o statute_n of_o 25._o do_v restrain_v they_o general_o from_o offend_v of_o the_o prerogative_n royal_a of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o no_o man_n may_v just_o keep_v a_o court_n without_o a_o special_a warrant_n from_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a and_o the_o general_a liberty_n give_v by_o king_n h._n the_o 8._o to_o the_o bishop_n to_o rule_v and_o govern_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o pope_n time_n be_v no_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o the_o bishop_n to_o keep_v their_o own_o court_n in_o their_o own_o name_n by_o prescription_n as_o i_o take_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n have_v do_v wise_o if_o they_o have_v seek_v a_o warrant_n by_o statute_n to_o keep_v their_o court_n in_o the_o queen_n name_n as_o the_o bb._n do_v in_o king_n edward_n day_n in_o which_o time_n archbishop_n crammer_n do_v cause_n peter_n martyr_v and_o bucer_n to_o come_v over_o into_o this_o realm_n to_o be_v place_v in_o the_o two_o university_n for_o the_o better_a instruction_n of_o the_o university_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o bb._n crammer_n do_v humble_o prefer_v these_o learned_a man_n without_o any_o challenge_n to_o himself_o of_o any_o superior_a rule_n in_o this_o behalf_n over_o his_o inferior_a brethren_n and_o the_o time_n have_v be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v carry_v away_o any_o grant_n from_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n by_o general_a word_n but_o that_o he_o must_v have_v special_a word_n to_o carry_v the_o same_o by_o therefore_o how_o the_o bb._n be_v warrant_v to_o carry_v away_o the_o keep_n of_o their_o court_n in_o their_o own_o name_n by_o prescription_n it_o pass_v my_o understanding_n moreover_o where_o as_o your_o lordship_n say_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o bishopp_n have_v forsake_v their_o claim_n of_o superiority_n over_o their_o inferior_a brethren_n late_o to_o be_v by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o that_o now_o they_o do_v only_o claim_v superiority_n from_o her_o majesty_n supreme_a government_n if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o be_v it_o requisite_a &_o necessary_a that_o my_o l._n of_o canterbury_n that_o now_o be_v do_v recant_v and_o retract_v his_o say_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o great_a volume_n against_o cartwright_n where_o he_o say_v in_o plain_a word_n by_o the_o name_n of_o doctor_n whitgift_n that_o the_o
