be_v of_o a_o christian_a church_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v the_o several_a patriarchates_n so_o that_o whatever_o power_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n can_v challenge_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o patriarchical_a dignity_n be_v of_o a_o (null)_o original_a and_o so_o not_o necessary_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o christian_a church_n nay_o though_o he_o once_o have_v such_o a_o power_n yet_o upon_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a government_n that_o give_v it_o he_o it_o cease_v with_o it_o for_o it_o be_v grant_v he_o by_o the_o emperor_n and_o imperial_a council_n and_o so_o extend_v only_o to_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o empire_n for_o they_o can_v not_o give_v he_o any_o power_n in_o other_o prince_n dominion_n the_o empire_n therefore_o be_v break_v into_o many_o independent_a kingdom_n the_o patriarchate_n dissolve_v with_o it_o because_o otherwise_o a_o foreigner_n will_v have_v a_o authority_n in_o all_o prince_n dominion_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n which_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o christianity_n disclaim_v and_o therefore_o be_v principal_o inconsistent_a with_o it_o but_o however_o if_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o old_a patriarchical_a power_n still_o he_o have_v it_o not_o of_o old_a over_o we_o and_o therefore_o can_v have_v it_o now_o and_o though_o he_o have_v yet_o it_o be_v but_o of_o (null)_o institution_n and_o then_o we_o be_v a_o true_a church_n without_o it_o and_o if_o we_o be_v then_o can_v no_o man_n be_v oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o this_o church_n that_o be_v settle_v as_o all_o other_o church_n be_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o join_v with_o one_o another_o only_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o alteration_n make_v in_o it_o by_o (null)_o authority_n and_o thus_o have_v true_o and_o impartial_o lay_v before_o your_o royal_a highness_n the_o state_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n especial_o as_o to_o the_o prime_a controversy_n between_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n concern_v the_o guide_n of_o faith_n i_o have_v so_o great_a confidence_n in_o the_o power_n of_o truth_n over_o a_o upright_a and_o generous_a mind_n as_o to_o flatter_v myself_o with_o some_o hope_n of_o settle_v your_o royal_a highness_n conscience_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o this_o true_o ancient_a and_o apostolical_a church_n nay_o i_o hope_v not_o only_o to_o see_v you_o a_o zealous_a son_n but_o a_o eminent_a patron_n of_o the_o best_a but_o most_o abuse_a church_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n so_o as_o to_o be_v the_o principal_a author_n of_o rescue_v she_o from_o those_o horrid_a indignity_n and_o oppression_n that_o she_o daily_o suffer_v from_o the_o barbarity_n of_o popular_a atheism_n and_o profaneness_n but_o whatever_o the_o success_n of_o this_o small_a endeavor_n may_v prove_v it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a satisfaction_n that_o i_o reap_v from_o have_v do_v my_o duty_n to_o your_o royal_a highness_n and_o i_o own_o conscience_n for_o i_o have_v no_o other_o design_n than_o to_o promote_v the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o my_o own_o but_o though_o i_o be_o so_o full_o conscious_a to_o myself_o of_o my_o own_o integrity_n yet_o when_o i_o reflect_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v do_v i_o blush_v and_o be_o confound_v in_o myself_o at_o the_o presumption_n of_o obtrude_a my_o crude_a thought_n upon_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o mighty_a prince_n and_o therefore_o have_v utter_o stisle_v they_o after_o they_o be_v finish_v have_v not_o the_o great_a fame_n of_o

have_v show_v the_o no-necessity_n of_o comminion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o his_o own_o term_n because_o its_o pretence_n be_v a_o manifest_a usurpation_n upon_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o have_v represent_v the_o gross_a abuse_n that_o his_o holiness_n put_v upon_o christianity_n by_o pretend_v some_o way_n or_o other_o direct_o or_o indirect_o to_o a_o temporal_a power_n over_o sovereign_a prince_n whereas_o to_o pretend_v to_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o power_n derive_v from_o our_o saviour_n only_o over_o subject_n be_v no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n my_o against_o he_o but_o over_o prince_n it_o add_v to_o that_o rebellon_n so_o that_o how_o many_o note_n soever_o there_o may_v be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n this_o be_v a_o infallible_a note_n of_o a_o false_a one_o but_o then_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o your_o royal_a highness_n be_v the_o second_o branch_n of_o a_o imperial_a family_n and_o heir_n to_o several_a crown_n i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v according_a to_o my_o resolution_n declare_v in_o the_o beginning_n to_o wave_v the_o advantage_n of_o this_o argument_n because_o your_o highness_n
