the_o patron_n give_v the_o benefice_n or_o live_v to_o the_o incumbent_n but_o the_o bishop_n give_v he_o his_o order_n so_o the_o king_n give_v the_o bishopric_n to_o the_o bishop_n that_o be_v

at_o all_o where_o be_v then_o the_o king_n authority_n superiority_n and_o supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_n the_o bishop_n have_v all_o authority_n from_o god_n in_o themselves_o they_o derive_v none_o from_o the_o king_n wherefore_o they_o own_v not_o the_o king_n authority_n sovereignty_n superiority_n nor_o supremacy_n no_o more_o than_o papist_n do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o bishop_n pray_v for_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a and_o use_v their_o authority_n in_o his_o name_n but_o for_o all_o this_o as_o you_o have_v see_v they_o do_v not_o own_o his_o authority_n but_o deny_v it_o they_o do_v but_o dissemble_v for_o when_o they_o speak_v real_o and_o cordial_o they_o reject_v his_o authority_n but_o when_o they_o intend_v to_o flatter_v then_o in_o word_n they_o pray_v for_o

book_n say_v not_o only_a bishop_n tyranny_n but_o also_o the_o fear_n of_o popery_n cause_v thousand_o of_o the_o people_n to_o desert_n the_o king_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o unhappy_a war_n those_o that_o have_v eye_n in_o their_o head_n may_v easy_o see_v what_o a_o crew_n of_o popish_a bishop_n we_o have_v for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o look_v to_o see_v they_o better_o unless_o for_o
