be_v produce_v though_o i_o think_v this_o latter_a be_v a_o argument_n of_o far_o less_o authority_n than_o the_o former_a and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v instance_n of_o convocation_n like_o we_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n yet_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v their_o divine_a right_n unless_o there_o can_v be_v show_v a_o command_n of_o god_n for_o it_o for_o a_o great_a many_o example_n have_v

such_o example_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v now_o whether_o this_o notion_n of_o a_o divine_a right_o have_v any_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n or_o can_v be_v ground_v upon_o any_o example_n in_o the_o

whenever_o a_o parliament_n be_v call_v according_a to_o the_o ancient_a constitution_n and_o hence_o some_o have_v think_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o claim_v the_o same_o right_n and_o liberty_n to_o enact_v law_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o other_o for_o the_o advantage_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o state_n but_o the_o case_n be_v very_o different_a the_o reason_n of_o call_v the_o clergy_n ancient_o every_o parliament_n be_v upon_o a_o political_a account_n because_o they_o be_v then_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o can_v not_o be_v tax_v

be_v so_o full_o and_o large_o discuss_v by_o a_o very_a learned_a pen_n that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o far_a addition_n wake_v and_o indeed_o if_o we_o may_v stand_v to_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n this_o whole_a controversy_n will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o it_o be_v no_o difficult_a matter_n to_o be_v resolve_v about_o the_o power_n the_o king_n be_v
