this_o point_n by_o mere_a strength_n of_o reason_n we_o must_v therefore_o diligent_o consider_v the_o force_n of_o his_o argument_n 1._o if_o bishop_n be_v one_o of_o the_o estate_n in_o

to_o give_v a_o clear_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o distinguish_v two_o thing_n in_o the_o bishop_n their_o spiritual_a capacity_n by_o which_o they_o represent_v and_o their_o civil_a capacity_n as_o baron_n in_o which_o they_o vote_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o house_n for_o the_o manner_n of_o give_v their_o vote_n be_v a_o thing_n under_o the_o regulation_n of_o the_o house_n and_o depend_v upon_o custom_n but_o their_o spiritual_a capacity_n as_o bishop_n in_o which_o they_o represent_v do_v not_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o sit_v together_o with_o other_o lord_n be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o writ_n of_o summons_n which_o as_o mr._n selden_n confess_v ever_o since_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o edw._n iii_o have_v be_v for_o the_o

there_o but_o the_o bishop_n be_v intermingle_v with_o the_o temporal_a lord_n in_o make_v up_o the_o majority_n as_o a_o part_n of_o it_o since_o i_o have_v evident_o prove_v the_o clergy_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n if_o he_o be_v sure_a that_o every_o estate_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n than_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o this_o objection_n lie_v
