convocation_n be_v indeed_o decretum_fw-la oxoniense_n or_o a_o decree_n of_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n this_o be_v what_o the_o animadverter_n call_v for_o and_o this_o he_o will_v persuade_v the_o world_n he_o have_v but_o let_v the_o oxford_n convocation_n look_v to_o this_o which_o may_v prove_v a_o ill_a precedent_n but_o i_o be_o inform_v for_o i_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o their_o statute_n myself_o that_o this_o decree_n of_o the_o head_n of_o college_n and_o hall_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n that_o it_o be_v no_o judicial_a nor_o authoritative_a decree_n at_o all_o not_o so_o much_o as_o for_o censure_v a_o preacher_n much_o less_o for_o declare_v and_o decree_a heresy_n their_o statute_n refer_v such_o censure_n to_o the_o vicechancellor_n and_o six_o head_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n and_o to_o one_o or_o both_o the_o professor_n of_o divinity_n but_o give_v no_o such_o authority_n to_o the_o general_n meet_v of_o the_o head_n much_o less_o to_o head_n who_o be_v no_o divine_n nor_o doctor_n in_o divinity_n and_o some_o such_o there_o be_v in_o this_o meeting_n so_o that_o this_o pretend_a decree_n of_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o private_a opinion_n of_o some_o head_n and_o if_o that_o be_v so_o venerable_a a_o authority_n i_o will_v undertake_v any_o day_n in_o the_o year_n to_o procure_v a_o meeting_n of_o twice_o as_o many_o as_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o censure_v their_o decree_n but_o suppose_v their_o authority_n to_o be_v just_a and_o regular_n there_o be_v another_o very_a proper_a question_n how_o far_o their_o authority_n extend_v whether_o to_o the_o declare_v and_o decree_a heresy_n whatever_o the_o convocation_n of_o the_o university_n may_v challenge_v this_o be_v never_o before_o pretend_a to_o by_o the_o head_n of_o college_n and_o hall_n all_o the_o authority_n i_o can_v learn_v their_o statute_n give_v they_o in_o such_o case_n be_v to_o summon_v the_o preacher_n who_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o sermon_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o to_o require_v a_o public_a recantation_n from_o he_o or_o to_o forbid_v he_o ever_o to_o preach_v again_o in_o the_o university_n whereas_o nothing_o of_o all_o this_o be_v do_v the_o preacher_n not_o summon_v to_o this_o meeting_n nor_o his_o name_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v once_o mention_v in_o it_o no_o recantation_n enjoin_v no_o prohibition_n of_o his_o preach_v again_o but_o instead_o of_o this_o which_o be_v their_o proper_a business_n they_o declare_v and_o decree_v heresy_n which_o so_o many_o master_n of_o art_n may_v have_v do_v with_o as_o good_a authority_n where_o ever_o they_o have_v meet_v and_o they_o ought_v notwithstanding_o all_o their_o zeal_n against_o heresy_n to_o have_v advise_v with_o man_n of_o skill_n how_o far_o such_o a_o irregular_a and_o unstatutable_a proceed_n may_v affect_v they_o the_o authority_n of_o declare_v and_o make_v heresy_n may_v be_v of_o such_o pernicious_a consequence_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o any_o church_n that_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v entrust_v with_o any_o body_n of_o man_n less_o than_o a_o national_a synod_n for_o otherwise_o we_o may_v have_v as_o many_o different_a and_o contrary_a religion_n as_o there_o be_v declarer_n
