so_o much_o speak_v thereof_o already_o upon_o different_a occasion_n as_o little_a remain_v to_o be_v add_v here_o the_o principal_a point_n that_o seem_v needful_a to_o be_v remember_v be_v that_o this_o part_n of_o the_o clergy_n i_o mean_v religious_a people_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o ornament_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o by_o the_o height_n of_o their_o vocation_n they_o

to_o attribute_v to_o all_o his_o portion_n and_o clergy_n but_o yet_o be_v they_o more_o due_a unto_o the_o state_n of_o religious_a person_n which_o bind_v themselves_o by_o vow_n to_o a_o life_n of_o great_a perfection_n than_o the_o rest_n and_o consequent_o aught_o to_o be_v clear_a light_n and_o more_o excellent_a salt_n than_o any_o other_o and_o he_o that_o will_v consider_v of_o religious_a order_n as_o he_o shall_v see_v they_o intermix_v among_o other_o people_n in_o a_o catholic_n commonwealth_n he_o shall_v imagine_v they_o as_o vein_n and_o artery_n spread_v throughout_o man_n body_n to_o give_v blood_n and_o spirit_n to_o the_o fleshy_a part_n that_o lie_v about_o they_o and_o again_o as_o well_n spring_n brook_n and_o river_n divide_v all_o over_o the_o earth_n to_o

wax_v dry_a or_o be_v corrupt_v or_o give_v evil_a moisture_n nourishment_n or_o infection_n all_o the_o rest_n must_v needs_o perish_v and_o putrify_v so_o when_o religious_a people_n themselves_o

have_v be_v try_v in_o no_o country_n more_o for_o time_n past_o than_o in_o we_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v the_o great_a care_n and_o desire_v of_o good_a man_n to_o have_v it_o well_o remedy_v at_o the_o next_o change_n and_o that_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v desire_v as_o before_o have_v be_v note_v that_o all_o the_o approve_a religious_a of_o god_n church_n shall_v be_v admit_v again_o into_o england_n for_o more_o honourable_a satisfaction_n of_o impiety_n commit_v against_o they_o in_o time_n past_a so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v there_o no_o less_o desire_n of_o good_a man_n that_o none_o shall_v be_v admit_v but_o call_v for_o and_o choose_v and_o such_o as_o will_v promise_v the_o perfect_a observation_n of_o their_o first_o institution_n and_o rule_n so_o as_o they_o may_v be_v true_a light_n and_o salt_n indeed_o the_o edict_n or_o proclamation_n whereof_o i_o speak_v before_o to_o be_v make_v at_o the_o very_a first_o beginning_n against_o the_o entrance_n of_o any_o religious_a people_n but_o only_o upon_o licence_n and_o approbation_n of_o the_o council_n of_o reformation_n will_v help_v great_o to_o this_o effect_n if_o it_o be_v observe_v

no_o religious_a be_v admit_v but_o reform_v as_o have_v be_v say_v for_o that_o between_o good_a and_o perfect_a man_n there_o be_v never_o emulation_n or_o contention_n both_o party_n be_v unite_v in_o christ_n qui_fw-la fecit_fw-la utraque_fw-la unum_fw-la as_o the_o apostle_n say_v &_o non_fw-la est_fw-la exceptor_n personarum_fw-la and_o so_o the_o near_a that_o each_o part_n be_v unite_v

most_o certain_a of_o euclides_n that_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v unite_v in_o a_o three_o be_v unite_v also_o between_o themselves_o so_o as_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v contention_n or_o emulation_n

more_o imperfect_a and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o help_n or_o remedy_n may_v be_v that_o the_o council_n of_o reformation_n with_o faculty_n of_o his_o holiness_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o the_o distribution_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a ☞_o live_n and_o land_n which_o shall_v be_v restore_v according_a to_o the_o present_a necessity_n conveniency_n and_o utility_n of_o
