church_n to_o another_o upon_o emergent_a occasion_n which_o i_o think_v they_o will_v not_o deny_v if_o so_o who_o know_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v transfer_v they_o to_o lay-land_n they_o profess_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o but_o continue_v they_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ministry_n i_o conceive_v the_o bishop_n answer_v will_v be_v that_o it_o be_v no_o sacrilege_n to_o transfer_v land_n from_o one_o church_n to_o another_o but_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v much_o rapine_n and_o injustice_n the_o will_n of_o the_o dead_a may_v be_v violate_v and_o so_o sin_n enough_o in_o the_o action_n man_n may_v be_v injurious_o put_v from_o the_o estate_n in_o which_o they_o have_v as_o good_a title_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n as_o these_o same_o man_n that_o put_v they_o out_o to_o say_v then_o that_o the_o church_n land_n may_v be_v total_o give_v up_o because_o the_o epistler_n hope_v the_o parliament_n will_v commit_v no_o sacrilege_n be_v a_o pretty_a way_n of_o persuasion_n and_o may_v equal_o work_v on_o he_o to_o give_v up_o his_o own_o land_n because_o he_o may_v as_o well_o hope_v to_o be_v re-estated_n again_o in_o that_o the_o parliament_n will_v do_v no_o injustice_n and_o now_o sir_n have_v thus_o observe_v your_o command_n yet_o one_o thing_n more_o i_o shall_v adventure_v to_o crave_v your_o patience_n in_o and_o it_o be_v to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o if_o this_o epistler_n have_v be_v right_a in_o both_o his_o conclusion_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v not_o of_o divine_a right_n and_o that_o sacrilege_n be_v no_o sin_n yet_o if_o you_o cast_v your_o eye_n upon_o his_o majesty_n coronation_n oath_n wherein_o he_o be_v so_o strict_o swear_v to_o defend_v both_o the_o episcopal_a order_n and_o the_o church_n land_n and_o possession_n you_o will_v easy_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o king_n can_v yield_v to_o what_o this_o letter_n aim_v at_o and_o though_o i_o must_v needs_o guess_v and_o that_o the_o epistler_n know_v well_o enough_o his_o juratory_n tye_n yet_o you_o will_v the_o less_o blame_v he_o for_o his_o concealment_n in_o this_o kind_n because_o he_o be_v not_o retain_v of_o the_o church_n council_n his_o majesty_n oath_n you_o may_v find_v publish_v by_o himself_o in_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n 1646._o 26_o may._n it_o run_v

of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o church_n under_o their_o government_n then_o the_o king_n arise_v and_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o communion_n table_n where_o he_o make_v a_o solemn_a oath_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o his_o people_n to_o observe_v the_o promise_n and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o book_n say_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v before_o promise_v i_o shall_v perform_v and_o keep_v so_o help_v i_o god_n and_o the_o content_n of_o the_o book_n in_o the_o first_o clause_n it_o be_v plain_a he_o make_v a_o promissory_a oath_n to_o the_o whole_a people_n of_o england_n a_o word_n that_o include_v both_o nobility_n clergy_n and_o commons_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v and_o confirm_v their_o law_n and_o custom_n and_o in_o the_o second_o he_o swear_v a_o particular_a

five_o clause_n he_o make_v the_o like_a promissory_a oath_n to_o the_o bishop_n alone_o in_o behalf_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o church_n that_o he_o will_v preserve_v and_o maintain_v to_o

by_o name_n it_o be_v plain_a he_o swear_v to_o maintain_v their_o order_n for_o he_o that_o swear_v he_o will_v take_v care_n that_o bishop_n be_v preserve_v in_o such_o and_o such_o right_n must_v needs_o swear_v to_o take_v care_n that_o bishop_n shall_v first_o be_v for_o their_o right_n must_v needs_o suppose_v their_o essence_n and_o where_o the_o king_n swear_v defence_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o royal_a kingly_a way_n tu_fw-la defend_v i_o gladio_fw-la &_o ego_fw-la defendam_fw-la te_fw-la calamo_fw-la be_v the_o well_o know_a speech_n of_o a_o worthy_a churchman_n to_o his_o prince_n for_o sure_a where_o king_n swear_v defence_n to_o bishop_n i_o do_v not_o think_v they_o swear_v to_o write_v book_n in_o their_o behalf_n or_o to_o attempt_v to_o make_v it_o clear_a to_o their_o people_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la but_o a_o king_n who_o propriety_n it_o be_v to_o bear_v the_o sword_n swear_v to_o bear_v it_o in_o defence_n of_o bishop_n for_o though_o it_o be_v against_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o christian_a faith_n that_o religion_n shall_v be_v plant_v and_o reform_v by_o blood_n yet_o when_o christian_n king_n have_v by_o law_n settle_v this_o religion_n and_o swear_v defence_n of_o those_o person_n that_o shall_v preach_v it_o he_o ought_v sure_o to_o bear_v his_o sword_n to_o defend_v his_o law_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o soul_n free_a from_o perjury_n as_o well_o to_o they_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o as_o by_o canonical_a privilege_n that_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o their_o church_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v imply_v the_o honour_n of_o their_o several_a order_n as_o that_o bishop_n shall_v be_v above_o presbyter_n etc._n etc._n together_o with_o all_o the_o due_a right_n and_o

according_a to_o law_n then_o in_o force_n when_o he_o take_v that_o oath_n and_o the_o king_n swear_v protection_n and_o defence_n that_o clause_n must_v needs_o reach_v not_o only_o to_o their_o person_n but_o to_o their_o right_n and_o estate_n for_o he_o swear_v not_o only_o to_o man_n but_o to_o man_n in_o such_o a_o condition_n to_o bishop_n of_o their_o church_n and_o whereas_o he_o swear_v to_o be_v their_o protector_n and_o defender_n to_o his_o power_n in_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n those_o word_n to_o his_o power_n may_v seem_v to_o acquit_v he_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o he_o fall_v into_o a_o condition_n wherein_o all_o power_n be_v take_v from_o he_o but_o sir_n i_o will_v prove_v that_o a_o mistake_n for_o one_o of_o the_o great_a power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v his_o negative_a in_o parliament_n so_o that_o without_o he_o no_o law_n can_v be_v enact_v there_o since_o it_o be_v only_o the_o power_n royal_a that_o can_v make_v a_o law_n to_o be_v law_n so_o so_o that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v pass_v a_o statute_n to_o take_v away_o the_o church_n land_n he_o protect_v it_o not_o
