authority_n be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o pope_n or_o a_o presbytery_n or_o a_o national_a synod_n above_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v at_o this_o day_n that_o the_o supreme_a power_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o make_v a_o bishop_n because_o by_o the_o ancient_a canon_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n a_o bishop_n ought_v to_o be_v free_o and_o canonical_o elect_v by_o the_o other_o bishop_n of_o the_o province_n or_o by_o the_o clergy_n and_o people_n of_o the_o diocese_n as_o that_o it_o can_v depose_v a_o bishop_n from_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o episcopal_a authority_n within_o their_o dominion_n without_o a_o synod_n or_o council_n 3._o when_o a_o church_n be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o state_n a_o offence_n against_o the_o state_n be_v a_o just_a reason_n to_o depose_v a_o bishop_n from_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o episcopal_a authority_n in_o such_o a_o state_n especial_o if_o such_o bishop_n or_o bishop_n whole_o disow_v the_o authority_n and_o government_n of_o the_o state_n and_o refuse_v to_o submit_v to_o it_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n be_v think_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o depose_v bishop_n and_o to_o deny_v their_o civil_a authority_n be_v somewhat_o more_o than_o that_o this_o be_v as_o certain_a and_o evident_a as_o that_o the_o church_n be_v and_o must_v be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o state_n for_o if_o bishop_n who_o oppose_v and_o disow_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o state_n must_v not_o be_v depose_v from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o authority_n in_o such_o a_o state_n than_o the_o church_n must_v be_v divide_v from_o the_o state_n and_o be_v independent_a on_o it_o such_o man_n may_v be_v bishop_n of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v no_o subject_n of_o the_o state_n which_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o a_o church_n incorporate_v with_o the_o state_n 4._o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o a_o ecclesiastical_a and_o canonical_a deposition_n of_o a_o bishop_n for_o heresy_n or_o other_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n and_o a_o state_n deprivation_n the_o first_o concern_v the_o character_n and_o ecclesiastical_a communion_n it_o be_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n which_o concern_v he_o as_o a_o bishop_n and_o when_o it_o be_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v not_o only_o by_o a_o provincial_n or_o national_a synod_n but_o by_o a_o general_n council_n such_o a_o depose_a bishop_n be_v no_o long_o a_o bishop_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o no_o christian_a must_v communicate_v with_o he_o as_o a_o bishop_n but_o a_o state-deprivation_n do_v not_o concern_v the_o character_n such_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o bishop_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n still_o if_o he_o do_v not_o fall_v under_o church-censure_n for_o heresy_n or_o other_o crime_n but_o it_o only_o concern_v the_o exercise_n of_o his_o episcopal_a authority_n in_o any_o diocese_n within_o the_o dominion_n of_o that_o state_n or_o enjoy_v any_o ecclesiastical_a benefice_n in_o it_o and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o supreme_a power_n of_o a_o nation_n to_o judge_v who_o shall_v be_v bishop_n in_o their_o dominion_n and_o enjoy_v the_o revenue_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o state_n you_o leave_v the_o supreme_a power_n no_o authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n over_o ecclesiastical_a person_n 5._o and_o this_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o succeed_v a_o orthodox_n bishop_n uncanonical_o depose_v and_o succeed_v a_o orthodox_n bishop_n deprive_v by_o a_o act_n of_o state_n if_o a_o bishop_n be_v depose_v by_o a_o heretical_a synod_n upon_o false_a suggestion_n and_o public_o know_v to_o be_v false_a and_o malicious_a and_o be_v own_a and_o acquit_v by_o a_o council_n of_o orthodox_n bishop_n it_o be_v usurpation_n to_o invade_v his_o see_n a_o breach_n of_o catholic_n communion_n and_o a_o schism_n in_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v the_o case_n of_o athanasius_n and_o george_n of_o cappadocia_n who_o succeed_v he_o but_o if_o a_o bishop_n otherwise_o orthodox_n be_v guilty_a of_o such_o a_o offence_n against_o the_o state_n that_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o episcopal_a office_n neither_o the_o faith_n nor_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o but_o only_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o state_n which_o oblige_v both_o the_o clergy_n and_o the_o laity_n in_o such_o case_n and_o when_o neither_o the_o catholic_n faith_n nor_o catholic_n communion_n be_v concern_v it_o can_v be_v no_o ecclesiastical_a offence_n to_o succeed_v in_o such_o a_o bishopric_n but_o a_o due_a submission_n and_o compliance_n with_o that_o authority_n to_o which_o the_o church_n in_o a_o christian_a nation_n ought_v to_o be_v subject_a the_o reason_n why_o these_o matter_n be_v not_o so_o acurate_o distinguish_v by_o some_o man_n be_v because_o they_o
