the_o fitness_n of_o person_n that_o come_v to_o be_v ordain_v and_o may_v refuse_v they_o that_o they_o judge_v unfit_a without_o any_o danger_n of_o a_o quare_fw-la impedit_fw-la or_o any_o other_o legal_a molestation_n but_o when_o they_o be_v admit_v a_o bishop_n run_v a_o hazard_n that_o refuse_v to_o give_v they_o institution_n if_o another_o bishop_n ordain_v a_o unfit_a person_n and_o that_o person_n be_v present_v to_o your_o lordship_n to_o a_o cure_n you_o will_v find_v yourself_o under_o great_a difficulty_n if_o you_o admit_v he_o you_o deliver_v up_o the_o cure_n of_o soul_n to_o a_o person_n you_o do_v not_o approve_v if_o you_o refuse_v he_o you_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v sue_v at_o law_n indeed_o where_o you_o have_v ordain_v a_o person_n you_o can_v reasonable_o refuse_v he_o institution_n when_o he_o desire_v it_o but_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a you_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o institute_n he_o who_o another_o bishop_n have_v without_o due_a care_n admit_v to_o holy_a order_n this_o careless_a admit_v man_n to_o holy_a order_n may_v by_o the_o unite_a agreement_n of_o all_o the_o bishop_n be_v prevent_v for_o the_o future_a i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o what_o good_a law_n be_v make_v on_o this_o behalf_n and_o how_o easy_a a_o thing_n it_o will_v be_v for_o the_o future_a to_o take_v care_n of_o this_o matter_n but_o every_o bishop_n must_v take_v the_o utmost_a care_n and_o the_o archbishop_n have_v need_n require_v a_o strict_a and_o constant_a account_n that_o other_o do_v their_o duty_n for_o if_o one_o bishop_n be_v careless_a as_o that_o bishop_n will_v be_v resort_v to_o and_o ordain_v the_o great_a number_n so_o the_o other_o bishop_n and_o the_o church_n will_v suffer_v great_o by_o it_o i_o know_v there_o have_v be_v some_o bishop_n that_o have_v be_v very_o remiss_a and_o some_o who_o have_v have_v a_o small_a diocese_n have_v have_v great_a ordination_n and_o that_o when_o they_o live_v remote_a from_o their_o diocese_n also_o this_o thing_n must_v be_v look_v after_o diligent_o and_o it_o be_v well_o that_o every_o bishop_n be_v oblige_v to_o give_v his_o metropolitan_a a_o account_n from_o time_n to_o time_n of_o the_o number_n and_o qualification_n of_o all_o those_o who_o he_o admit_v into_o holy_a order_n and_o of_o the_o place_n of_o their_o abode_n etc._n etc._n after_o all_o the_o bishop_n have_v need_n be_v careful_a that_o they_o be_v not_o impose_v upon_o with_o false_a title_n a_o very_a common_a practice_n with_o slight_a testimonial_n and_o the_o perfunctory_a examination_n of_o a_o chaplain_n he_o have_v need_n examine_v they_o himself_o and_o require_v they_o that_o come_v for_o order_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o he_o some_o considerable_a time_n beforehand_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o better_o satisfy_v concern_v they_o every_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v very_o tender_a in_o commend_v a_o person_n as_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o friend_n much_o more_o if_o it_o be_v to_o a_o place_n of_o any_o considerable_a trust_n what_o care_v then_o ought_v the_o bishop_n to_o take_v when_o they_o commend_v man_n and_o admit_v they_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o tremendous_a care_n of_o immortal_a soul_n the_o utmost_a care_n in_o this_o matter_n will_v be_v little_a enough_o and_o be_v this_o care_n take_v by_o all_o the_o bishop_n we_o shall_v soon_o see_v the_o bless_a fruit_n of_o it_o young_a man_n will_v ply_v their_o study_n and_o take_v care_n of_o their_o life_n and_o form_n themselves_o to_o some_o show_n at_o
