the_o difference_n that_o we_o put_v herein_o you_o accuse_v we_o and_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o we_o will_v have_v no_o man_n better_o than_o other_o that_o we_o will_v not_o resort_v of_o

let_v our_o agreement_n you_o complain_v great_o that_o we_o be_v over_o stubborn_a and_o rude_a and_o that_o we_o intend_v to_o destroy_v all_o jurisdiction_n and_o to_o take_v away_o all_o riches_n from_o the_o church_n this_o you_o say_v may_v not_o be_v suffer_v for_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a custom_n that_o noble_a man_n that_o come_v of_o great_a stock_n be_v honourable_o promote_v from_o who_o so_o great_a commodity_n can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o without_o high_a displesure_n and_o great_a danger_n if_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a we_o shall_v lyght_o be_v deliver_v from_o great_a

that_o have_v in_o their_o governance_n the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o the_o common_a weal_n do_v this_o &_o we_o trust_v soon_o to_o have_v a_o end_n of_o all_o matter_n that_o we_o can_v not_o now_o agree_v upon_o or_o at_o the_o least_o wise_a a_o great_a moderation_n of_o our_o grudge_n &_o strife_n there_o be_v some_o man_n of_o great_a blood_n which_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o there_o be_v some_o that_o faithful_o will_v keep_v the_o good_n of_o the_o church_n no_o man_n can_v make_v tyrant_n believe_v that_o it_o be_v more_o honour_n to_o be_v love_v and_o honour_v of_o their_o subject_n than_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o theym_n but_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o any_o christian_a man_n to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o high_a dignity_n to_o have_v great_a power_n and_o might_n than_o to_o profess_v the_o gospel_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o may_v stand_v best_a with_o godly_a live_n we_o be_v move_v by_o authorite_n of_o many_o great_a wise_a man_n to_o set_v a_o order_n between_o these_o two_o sort_n to_o let_v pass_v saint_n augustin_n matt._n saint_n ambrose_n and_o other_o perfect_a bishop_n do_v not_o chrisostom_n before_o a_o multitude_n of_o a_o hundred_o m._n man_n in_o a_o sermon_n grevous_o lament_v that_o bishop_n be_v take_v from_o the_o cure_n of_o their_o church_n and_o ocupy_v in_o money_n matter_n thapostels_n also_o put_v

the_o church_n it_o be_v convenient_a y_z t_z their_o posterity_n be_v soon_o pfer_v unto_o the_o same_o first_o noble_a man_n be_v not_o forbid_v neither_o to_o profess_v the_o gospel_n neither_o

take_v away_o grant_v we_o also_o this_o that_o we_o do_v not_o dissente_n from_o you_o without_o great_a and_o just_a cause_n for_o if_o you_o wylle_v grant_v it_o to_o be_v only_o a_o ministration_n that_o the_o bisshoppe_n of_o rome_n be_v chargid_a with_o must_v you_o not_o agree_v to_o this_o also_o that_o all_o other_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n be_v none_o other_o thing_n but_o minyster_n of_o dyvine_a cure_n so_o that_o if_o their_o ministration_n be_v good_a and_o for_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o church_n and_o accord_v to_o the_o law_n they_o shall_v continue_v still_o if_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a hurtful_a if_o it_o be_v full_a against_o y_o e_o law_n such_o their_o honour_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o like_a as_o it_o be_v command_v in_o many_o

either_o by_o any_o bishop_n of_o rome_n privilege_n wrest_v or_o indulgence_n for_o if_o this_o be_v lawful_a what_o shall_v be_v leave_v untouched_a in_o any_o place_n what_o shall_v be_v safe_a and_o sure_a if_o when_o will_n will_v lust_n may_v dyspense_v with_o law_n we_o see_v while_o bishop_n of_o rome_n now_o of_o late_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o such_o dispensation_n what_o window_n they_o open_v for_o tyranny_n to_o creep_v in_o at_o for_o religion_n to_o creep_v out_o at_o now_o where_o law_n be_v keep_v this_o also_o shall_v remain_v that_o they_o be_v make_v bishop_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n which_o be_v know_v to_o be_v learn_v to_o be_v of_o great_a innocence_n of_o life_n to_o be_v of_o faith_n and_o diligence_n in_o do_v their_o duty_n for_o if_o we_o wool_fw-mi have_v the_o world_n amend_v we_o must_v have_v the_o people_n good_a well_o instruct_v and_o teach_v they_o must_v be_v as_o a_o field_n well_o till_v man_n be_v welle_v till_v when_o he_o have_v a_o good_a preacher_n in_o who_o be_v great_a knowledge_n study_n and_o pure_a mind_n without_o which_o precher_n neither_o the_o people_n can_v be_v well_o teach_v nor_o the_o

so_o many_o that_o if_o your_o sentence_n may_v have_v place_n and_o they_o remove_v as_o the_o law_n will_v which_o by_o force_n of_o friendship_n or_o money_n have_v get_v promotion_n you_o shall_v
