a_o bishop_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n express_v in_o his_o word_n if_o the_o late_a episcopal_a party_n shall_v pretend_v and_o plead_v that_o unless_o bishop_n be_v restore_v to_o

restore_v to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v 1._o that_o if_o they_o mean_v thereby_o that_o they_o can_v do_v his_o majesty_n service_n in_o parliament_n unless_o they_o be_v restore_v to_o their_o

more_o diligent_a and_o circumspect_a government_n of_o the_o church_n than_o ever_o yet_o they_o have_v do_v or_o be_v able_a to_o do_v by_o all_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o they_o labour_v to_o recover_v their_o former_a power_n the_o pretence_n of_o do_v his_o majesty_n better_a service_n be_v but_o to_o make_v way_n to_o their_o own_o greatness_n and_o to_o render_v they_o less_o
