a_o rate_n when_o the_o pastor_n of_o this_o church_n see_v it_o overrun_v with_o error_n and_o corruption_n they_o be_v oblige_v by_o the_o duty_n they_o owe_v to_o god_n and_o to_o their_o people_n to_o discover_v they_o and_o to_o undeceive_v their_o mislead_a flock_n it_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n to_o maintain_v peace_n and_o unity_n but_o if_o a_o party_n in_o the_o church_n do_v set_v

great_a progress_n and_o it_o be_v very_o visible_a that_o as_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n govern_v all_o thing_n there_o so_o they_o be_v resolve_v to_o admit_v of_o no_o effectual_a reformation_n of_o any_o considerable_a matter_n but_o to_o establish_v by_o a_o more_o formal_a decision_n those_o error_n and_o abuse_n that_o have_v give_v so_o much_o scandal_n to_o the_o christian_a world_n for_o so_o many_o age_n this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o case_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o there_o be_v real_o great_a corruption_n either_o in_o belief_n or_o manner_n in_o this_o

that_o be_v true_a it_o be_v certain_a the_o bishop_n of_o this_o as_o well_o as_o of_o other_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o set_v about_o it_o and_o the_o faultiness_n of_o some_o can_v be_v no_o excuse_n to_o the_o rest_n the_o second_o prejudice_n be_v that_o the_o reformation_n be_v begin_v and_o carry_v on_o not_o by_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n but_o by_o a_o few_o select_a bishop_n and_o divine_n who_o be_v support_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n authority_n do_v frame_v thing_n as_o they_o please_v and_o by_o their_o interest_n at_o court_n get_v

so_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n the_o reformation_n be_v the_o work_n of_o cranmer_n with_o a_o few_o more_o of_o his_o party_n and_o not_o of_o this_o church_n which_o never_o agree_v whole_o to_o it_o till_o the_o bishop_n be_v so_o model_v as_o to_o be_v compliant_a to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o court._n in_o short_a the_o resolution_n of_o this_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o a_o common_a case_n when_o the_o major_a part_n of_o a_o church_n be_v according_a to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o supreme_a civil_a magistrate_n in_o a_o error_n and_o the_o lesser_a part_n be_v in_o the_o

votary_n but_o when_o it_o be_v opposite_a to_o it_o it_o must_v have_v a_o very_a small_a party_n so_o that_o most_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o need_v reformation_n be_v such_o as_o add_v much_o to_o the_o wealth_n and_o power_n of_o the_o clergy_n it_o have_v be_v a_o wonder_n indeed_o if_o the_o great_a part_n have_v not_o oppose_v it_o in_o thâ—t_a case_n as_o the_o small_a part_n be_v
