A67227	The prelates pride, or, The manifestation, that the bishops lordly government from the originall institution, is not de iure divino, by divine right, but meerely humane and contrary both to the holy word of God, the practice of the Apostles, and of the primitive churches in the purest times whereunto is added the Bishop of Lincolnes prophecie concerning the prelates.

holy_a scripture_n so_o express_v it_o which_o as_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n say_v be_v vanity_n to_o speak_v the_o vision_n of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n and_o not_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o
