by_o the_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o second_o council_n of_o chalons_n and_o radulphus_fw-la glaber_n tell_v we_o that_o in_o the_o 11_o century_n a_o ill_a custom_n be_v creep_v in_o 1040._o that_o none_o be_v ordain_v deacon_n 4._o till_o he_o have_v first_o swear_v obedience_n to_o his_o bishop_n among_o the_o ritual_n publish_v by_o morinus_n in_o the_o four_o there_o be_v only_a mention_n of_o a_o promise_n of_o submission_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o see_v in_o the_o 9th_o ritual_a which_o he_o believe_v to_o be_v about_o 700_o year_n old_a there_o be_v a_o oath_n of_o obedience_n indeed_o to_o the_o patriarchal_a see_v but_o this_o be_v far_o from_o any_o claim_n to_o antiquity_n since_o it_o be_v plain_a it_o do_v not_o begin_v to_o be_v exact_v till_o the_o pope_n begin_v to_o raise_v their_o pretension_n far_o beyond_o that_o of_o a_o patriarch_n and_o so_o this_o oath_n be_v soon_o form_v to_o so_o high_a a_o strain_n that_o no_o temporal_a prince_n whatsoever_o have_v his_o subject_n more_o strict_o bind_v to_o he_o than_o all_o bishop_n be_v subject_v to_o the_o pope_n as_o their_o temporal_a as_o well_o as_o their_o spiritual_a head_n which_o will_v appear_v to_o every_o one_o who_o will_v give_v himself_o the_o trouble_n of_o read_v it_o xxxv_o he_o quarrel_v our_o liturgy_n for_o leave_v the_o oblation_n to_o god_n of_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n 162._o as_o propitiatory_a or_o impetratory_n of_o any_o benefit_n for_o the_o live_n or_o to_o the_o dead_a contrary_a to_o the_o belief_n of_o former_a church_n and_o council_n if_o by_o former_a he_o mean_v the_o age_n of_o darkness_n that_o have_v precede_v the_o reformation_n this_o we_o esteem_v no_o reproach_n but_o if_o he_o will_v carry_v this_o matter_n high_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v they_o have_v no_o other_o notion_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o eucharist_n than_o such_o as_o we_o still_o retain_v which_o be_v a_o commemoration_n of_o that_o one_o sacrifice_n by_o which_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n upon_o it_o which_o we_o still_o retain_v and_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n we_o use_v the_o term_n sacrifice_n and_o here_o our_o author_n betray_v that_o malignancy_n of_o spirit_n which_o he_o bear_v our_o church_n in_o accuse_v we_o for_o some_o change_n that_o our_o reformer_n make_v in_o the_o liturgy_n as_o if_o these_o have_v be_v such_o heinous_a thing_n whereas_o the_o change_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v make_v have_v be_v of_o another_o nature_n and_o they_o have_v so_o alter_v all_o their_o book_n of_o divine_a office_n that_o if_o any_o will_v compare_v the_o ordo_fw-la romanus_n which_o be_v a_o ritual_a of_o the_o 10_o or_o 11_o century_n with_o the_o missal_n at_o present_a it_o will_v appear_v how_o inconsiderable_a the_o change_n that_o our_o reformer_n make_v be_v when_o compare_v to_o those_o of_o that_o church_n if_o any_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o examine_v the_o book_n of_o ordination_n that_o be_v collect_v by_o morinus_n he_o will_v see_v that_o the_o prayer_n which_o in_o one_o age_n be_v esteem_v the_o form_n of_o ordination_n come_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o another_o but_o as_o preparatory_a devotion_n and_o that_o the_o prayer_n which_o in_o one_o time_n be_v only_a blessing_n after_o order_n give_v be_v at_o another_o time_n look_v on_o as_o the_o formal_a word_n by_o which_o they_o be_v give_v since_o then_o all_o church_n chief_o that_o of_o rome_n have_v so_o often_o change_v their_o

xxxvi_o our_o author_n it_o seem_v think_v he_o have_v a_o privilege_n to_o reproach_v our_o church_n 273._o in_o spite_n of_o the_o clear_a discovery_n that_o can_v be_v make_v so_o though_o that_o

view_v in_o bennet_n college_n library_n that_o all_o the_o clergy_n be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o those_o of_o king_n edward_n time_n only_o upon_o a_o prudential_a consideration_n it_o be_v

and_o have_v indeed_o offer_v some_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o leave_v it_o doubtful_a whether_o they_o be_v agree_v to_o in_o a_o convocation_n or_o not_o but_o all_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o very_a small_a importance_n if_o these_o article_n be_v not_o pass_v in_o convocation_n in_o king_n edward_n reign_n we_o be_v sure_o they_o be_v agree_v too_o in_o convocation_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n and_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n to_o we_o whether_o they_o be_v ten_o year_n old_a or_o late_a that_o be_v whether_o they_o be_v agree_v to_o in_o the_o year_n 1552_o or_o in_o the_o year_n 1562._o it_o be_v more_o likely_a they_o be_v agree_v to_o in_o king_n edward_n time_n for_o they_o be_v print_v then_o with_o that_o title_n and_o though_o imposture_n be_v but_o too_o ordinary_a to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o baldness_n of_o a_o title_n page_n yet_o thing_n be_v seldom_o print_v as_o flow_v from_o such_o a_o public_a authority_n when_o it_o be_v know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o project_n of_o a_o few_o head_n that_o will_v impose_v upon_o the_o world_n it_o can_v now_o be_v know_v from_o the_o record_n of_o the_o convocation_n they_o be_v all_o burn_a but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o soon_o after_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n these_o article_n be_v ever_o look_v on_o as_o the_o work_n of_o the_o convocation_n in_o king_n edward_n time._n nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n to_o think_v otherwise_o for_o by_o that_o time_n 〈…〉_z say_v they_o 〈◊〉_d make_v the_o bishopric_n be_v so_o fill_v and_o the_o clergy_n be_v every_o where_o

be_v by_o degree_n wrought_v to_o give_v a_o more_o universal_a concurrence_n in_o the_o reformation_n which_o be_v do_v before_o the_o year_n 1552._o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o

little_a certainty_n xxxviii_o our_o author_n show_v how_o dry_a all_o his_o concession_n be_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o civil_a authority_n 208._o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o papal_a pretension_n not_o only_o for_o depose_v but_o even_o for_o assassinate_v heretical_a prince_n in_o these_o word_n it_o shall_v here_o be_v grant_v as_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o several_a catholic_n that_o no_o general_a council_n have_v any_o authority_n to_o make_v any_o ecclesiastical_a law_n which_o any_o way_n intrenche_n upon_o any_o civil_a right_n nor_o any_o foreign_a prelate_n have_v authority_n to_o use_v a_o temporal_a power_n over_o prince_n when_o judge_v heretical_a to_o kill_v or_o depose_v they_o or_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n the_o king_n be_v certain_o much_o oblige_v to_o our_o author_n who_o have_v give_v he_o such_o a_o assurance_n of_o enjoy_v his_o crown_n and_o his_o life_n for_o he_o grant_v it_o here_o as_o he_o say_v elsewhere_o he_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o justify_v the_o burn_a of_o heretic_n in_o this_o place_n so_o

here_o while_o he_o be_v in_o england_n he_o will_v condemn_v these_o treasonable_a doctrine_n the_o ground_n upon_o which_o he_o condemn_v they_o be_v also_o suitable_a to_o the_o condemnation_n itself_o for_o he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o several_a catholic_n this_o be_v modest_o express_v for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o several_a of_o those_o he_o call_v catholic_n be_v of_o this_o mind_n yet_o all_o catholic_n be_v not_o of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o murder_a king_n be_v at_o least_o a_o probable_a one_o and_o since_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o depose_n of_o prince_n fall_v not_o only_o on_o those_o that_o be_v heretic_n themselves_o but_o even_o on_o the_o fautor_n and_o favourer_n of_o heretic_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o his_o majesty_n life_n be_v secure_v for_o beside_o the_o protection_n and_o liberty_n that_o he_o grant_v to_o heretic_n of_o his_o own_o dominion_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o encourage_v the_o refuge_n of_o another_o prince_n which_o be_v to_o be_v a_o favourer_n of_o heresy_n of_o the_o worst_a sort_n so_o that_o if_o innuendoe_v be_v in_o fashion_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o our_o author_n can_v defend_v himself_o against_o a_o indictment_n of_o treason_n or_o at_o least_o against_o a_o information_n our_o author_n to_o let_v we_o see_v how_o wary_a he_o be_v in_o his_o concession_n as_o he_o call_v they_o end_v the_o paragraph_n with_o another_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v here_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o will_v not_o loose_v a_o inch_n of_o all_o the_o

it_o he_o seem_v also_o to_o infinuate_v as_o if_o the_o king_n supremacy_n be_v assert_v by_o we_o as_o a_o grant_v of_o the_o clergy_n whereas_o we_o pretend_v to_o no_o such_o thing_n the_o civil_a

of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o age_n and_o king_n henry_n receive_v no_o new_a strengthen_n of_o his_o title_n by_o the_o act_n of_o the_o clergy_n which_o do_v not_o confer_v any_o new_a
