a_o account_n of_o the_o late_a proposal_n of_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n with_o some_o other_o bishop_n to_o his_o majesty_n in_o a_o letter_n to_o m._n b._n esq_n sir_n i_o be_o much_o surprise_v at_o the_o ill_a construction_n some_o people_n make_v of_o the_o action_n of_o those_o bishop_n who_o have_v late_o wait_v upon_o the_o king_n especial_o consider_v that_o most_o of_o they_o be_v the_o very_a man_n who_o not_o many_o month_n ago_o appear_v so_o public_o and_o so_o courageous_o even_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o all_o the_o interest_n they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n in_o defence_n of_o our_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n in_o order_n to_o the_o remove_v all_o groundless_a jealousy_n and_o unreasonable_a surmise_n in_o a_o affair_n of_o so_o great_a consequence_n which_o our_o popish_a enemy_n will_v i_o be_o sure_a be_v very_o ready_a to_o foment_n and_o keep_v up_o i_o have_v here_o send_v you_o the_o head_n of_o those_o matter_n which_o be_v propose_v by_o they_o to_o the_o king._n they_o wait_v upon_o he_o no●_n as_o a_o party_n separate_a either_o from_o the_o nobility_n or_o gentry_n who_o they_o can_v i_o believe_v have_v wish_v his_o majesty_n will_v rather_o have_v call_v for_o at_o this_o juncture_n or_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o bishop_n or_o clergy_n of_o england_n but_o as_o person_n who_o the_o king_n be_v please_v upon_o reason_n know_v only_o to_o his_o royal_a breast_n to_o command_v to_o attend_v upon_o he_o the_o head_n which_o i_o send_v you_o be_v not_o take_v from_o any_o copy_n of_o the_o paper_n which_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n present_v to_o the_o king._n i_o understand_v that_o all_o their_o lordship_n have_v be_v extreme_o careful_a to_o prevent_v the_o publish_n of_o any_o copy_n and_o that_o they_o still_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v any_o though_o they_o now_o lie_v under_o no_o obligation_n to_o the_o contrary_n however_o i_o do_v assure_v you_o with_o all_o faithfulness_n that_o these_o head_n which_o i_o be_o now_o send_v you_o be_v true_a content_n obtain_v by_o another_o method_n which_o in_o prudence_n you_o will_v imagine_v nor_o fit_v for_o i_o to_o disclose_v you_o have_v already_o be_v tell_v from_o i_o that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o bishop_n be_v send_v for_o up_o out_o of_o their_o diocese_n by_o express_v from_o his_o majesty_n who_o they_o first_o wait_v on_o in_o a_o body_n on_o friday_n the_o 28_o of_o september_n i_o can_v upon_o the_o strict_a inquiry_n find_v that_o any_o thing_n pass_v betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o they_o at_o that_o first_o attendance_n upon_o he_o beside_o general_a expression_n of_o favour_n and_o protection_n from_o his_o majesty_n and_o general_a return_n of_o duty_n and_o loyalty_n from_o the_o bishop_n this_o be_v matter_n of_o admiration_n to_o we_o all_o here_o who_o can_v not_o believe_v but_o that_o the_o king_n have_v other_o intention_n of_o a_o near_o and_o more_o particular_a concern_v when_o he_o first_o resolve_v to_o send_v so_o far_o for_o some_o of_o these_o bishop_n but_o these_o alteration_n in_o council_n be_v thing_n not_o fit_a for_o you_o or_o i_o to_o meddle_v with_o however_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n be_v not_o satisfy_v herewith_o conclude_v as_o i_o suppose_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o have_v send_v for_o they_o so_o far_o if_o he_o have_v not_o intend_v to_o have_v advise_v with_o they_o in_o this_o juncture_n and_o to_o give_v they_o the_o liberty_n of_o offer_v he_o such_o counsel_n as_o they_o think_v necessary_a at_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o when_o his_o grace_n my_o lord_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n wait_v on_o the_o king_n alone_o the_o first_o time_n on_o sunday_n morning_n sept._n 30_o be_v indispose_v when_o the_o other_o bishop_n attend_v on_o friday_n their_o lordship_n do_v by_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n intimate_v their_o thought_n about_o that_o affair_n and_o their_o readiness_n to_o the_o king_n who_o be_v please_v not_o only_o to_o permit_v they_o to_o give_v he_o the_o best_a and_o most_o particular_a advice_n but_o to_o encourage_v they_o to_o do_v it_o with_o all_o the_o freedom_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o present_a occasion_n upon_o this_o royal_a invitation_n their_o lordship_n assemble_v together_o next_o day_n at_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n palace_n and_o prepare_v upon_o the_o most_o mature_a deliberation_n such_o matter_n as_o they_o judge_v necessary_a for_o his_o majesty_n knowledge_n and_o consideration_n and_o on_o the_o wednesday_n after_o wait_v on_o the_o king_n in_o a_o body_n when_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o own_o and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o bishop_n then_o present_a do_v in_o a_o most_o excellent_a speech_n represent_v to_o his_o majesty_n such_o thing_n as_o be_v think_v by_o they_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o settlement_n of_o the_o nation_n amid_o the_o present_a distraction_n and_o to_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o church_n and_o state._n i_o be_o assure_v that_o his_o grace_n deliver_v himself_o upon_o this_o critical_a occasion_n as_o with_o all_o dutifulness_n to_o his_o majesty_n so_o with_o all_o the_o readiness_n and_o the_o courage_n that_o do_v become_v such_o a_o apostolical_a archbishop_n as_o god_n have_v blessed_v our_o church_n of_o england_n with_o at_o this_o time_n you_o must_v not_o expect_v here_o his_o excellent_a word_n but_o a_o abridgement_n of_o they_o according_a to_o my_o talon_n in_o a_o mean_a stile_n i._n first_o the_o bishop_n think_v fit_a to_o represent_v in_o general_a to_o his_o majesty_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o restore_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o state_n in_o which_o he_o find_v they_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o commit_v all_o office_n and_o place_n of_o trust_n in_o the_o government_n to_o such_o of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n as_o be_v qualify_v for_o they_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o by_o redress_v and_o remove_v such_o grievance_n as_o be_v general_o complain_v of_o ii_o particular_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v dissolve_v the_o ecclesiastical_a commission_n and_o promise_v to_o his_o people_n never_o to_o erect_v any_o such_o court_n for_o the_o future_a iii_o that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o put_v a_o effectual_a stop_n to_o the_o issue_v forth_o of_o any_o dispensation_n but_o will_v call_v in_o and_o cancel_v all_o those_o which_o have_v since_o his_o come_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v obtain_v from_o him._n iv._o that_o he_o will_v restore_v the_o university_n to_o their_o legal_a state_n and_o to_o their_o statute_n and_o custom_n and_o will_v particular_o restore_v the_o master_n of_o magdalen_n college_n in_o cambridge_n to_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o mastership_n which_o he_o have_v be_v so_o long_o deprive_v of_o by_o a_o illegal_a suspension_n and_o the_o eject_v precedent_n and_o fellow_n of_o magdalen_n college_n in_o oxford_n to_o their_o property_n in_o that_o college_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o permit_v any_o person_n to_o enjoy_v any_o of_o the_o preferment_n in_o either_o university_n but_o such_o as_o be_v qualify_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o university_n the_o particular_a statute_n of_o their_o several_a foundation_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o

against_o the_o law_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o his_o majesty_n true_a interest_n vi_o that_o he_o will_v send_v inhibition_n after_o those_o four_o romish_a bishop_n who_o under_o the_o title_n of_o apostolic_a vicar_n do_v presume_v to_o exercise_n within_o this_o kingdom_n such_o jurisdiction_n as_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n invest_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v violate_v or_o attempt_v by_o they_o vii_o that_o he_o will_v suffer_v no_o more_o quo_n warranto_n to_o be_v issue_v out_o against_o any_o corporation_n but_o will_v restore_v to_o those_o corporation_n which_o have_v be_v already_o disturb_v their_o ancient_a charter_n privilege_n grant_n and_o immunity_n and_o condemn_v all_o those_o late_a illegal_a

at_o the_o first_o session_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o be_v fair_o state_v and_o debate_v and_o settle_a by_o act_n of_o parliament_n x._o that_o upon_o the_o restoration_n of_o corporation_n to_o
