how_o and_o by_o what_o authority_n do_v we_o separate_v from_o that_o church_n if_o the_o power_n of_o interpret_n scripture_n be_v in_o every_o man_n brain_n what_o need_n have_v we_o of_o a_o church_n or_o churchman_n to_o what_o purpose_n then_o do_v our_o saviour_n after_o he_o have_v give_v his_o apostle_n power_n to_o bind_v and_o loose_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n add_v to_o it_o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n these_o word_n be_v not_o speak_v parabolical_o or_o by_o way_n of_o figure_n christ_n be_v then_o ascend_v into_o his_o glory_n and_o leave_v his_o power_n with_o his_o church_n even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n all_o this_o the_o answerer_n leave_v out_o what_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n authority_n and_o every_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o judgement_n have_v he_o say_v be_v answer_v already_o i_o wish_v he_o have_v tell_v we_o where_o for_o though_o i_o remember_v some_o speech_n of_o person_n who_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n and_o of_o their_o pretence_n i_o can_v call_v one_o word_n to_o mind_n of_o the_o authority_n by_o which_o they_o separate_v if_o this_o be_v the_o answer_n he_o mean_v he_o compliment_v his_o majesty_n paper_n for_o to_o insist_v upon_o it_o be_v to_o confess_v he_o have_v none_o he_o say_v too_o and_o that_o too_o often_o to_o be_v forget_v that_o every_o man_n be_v to_o judge_v for_o himself_o though_o not_o for_o other_o what_o need_v then_o of_o a_o church_n or_o church_n man_n say_v his_o majesty_n when_o every_o body_n be_v provide_v without_o they_o it_o seem_v he_o think_v they_o be_v indeed_o needless_a but_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o say_v so_o he_o take_v the_o matter_n of_o appeal_n more_o to_o heart_n in_o which_o he_o take_v occasion_n to_o proceed_v from_o these_o word_n what_o country_n can_v subsist_v in_o peace_n or_o quiet_a where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o supreme_a judge_n from_o whence_o there_o can_v be_v no_o appeal_n from_o whence_o the_o natural_a consequence_n he_o say_v appear_v to_o be_v that_o every_o national_a church_n ought_v to_o have_v the_o supreme_a power_n within_o itself_o in_o the_o comparison_n here_o make_v a_o national_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v as_o a_o shire_n to_o a_o kingdom_n and_o a_o very_a natural_a and_o very_o consistent_a consequence_n it_o be_v that_o every_o sheriff_n shall_v be_v a_o king_n but_o how_o come_v appeal_n to_o a_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n to_o tend_v to_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o a_o church_n he_o will_v peradventure_o if_o one_o shall_v press_v he_o be_v hard_o enough_o put_v to_o it_o to_o make_v sense_n of_o his_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n in_o our_o case_n for_o how_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v foreign_a but_o by_o not_o belong_v to_o that_o aggregate_v whether_o civil_a or_o spiritual_a in_o respect_n whereof_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v foreigner_n foreign_a i_o think_v come_v from_o foris_fw-la and_o signify_v out_o so_o that_o unless_o the_o ultimate_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o church_n be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n it_o seem_v as_o hard_a to_o understand_v how_o it_o can_v be_v foreign_a to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o church_n as_o how_o a_o native_a of_o any_o part_n of_o england_n can_v be_v a_o foreigner_n in_o england_n the_o several_a nation_n which_o make_v the_o church_n be_v foreigner_n to_o one_o another_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o several_a temporal_a body_n which_o they_o compose_v too_o but_o fellow-citizen_n all_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a but_o let_v this_o pass_v and_o the_o answerer_n if_o he_o please_v inform_v we_o how_o the_o appeal_v of_o which_o we_o talk_v can_v be_v make_v but_o to_o what_o he_o call_v foreign_a jurisdiction_n the_o king_n aim_v at_o a_o end_n of_o difference_n in_o religion_n and_o as_o he_o think_v every_o one_o ought_v believe_v as_o the_o catholic_a church_n believe_v which_o christ_n have_v here_o on_o earth_n call_v their_o agreement_n in_o faith_n a_o decision_n and_o know_v or_o search_v what_o it_o be_v a_o appeal_n as_o no_o particular_a can_v be_v the_o catholic_a church_n let_v he_o make_v it_o intelligible_a who_o can_v how_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o church_n compose_v of_o many_o nation_n can_v be_v know_v without_o know_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o compose_v it_o that_o be_v of_o those_o church_n which_o he_o call_v foreign_a it_o be_v therefore_o so_o far_o from_o hard_a to_o comprehend_v how_o appeal_n to_o foreigner_n tend_v to_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o a_o national_a church_n that_o when_o that_o peace_n be_v disturb_v by_o dissension_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n it_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a to_o resettle_v it_o without_o they_o we_o say_v the_o king_n in_o the_o period_n before_o which_o the_o answerer_n i_o know_v not_o why_o put_v after_o have_v have_v these_o hundred_o year_n past_a the_o sad_a effect_n of_o deny_v to_o the_o

thing_n in_o comparison_n to_o what_o we_o have_v feel_v these_o hundred_o year_n for_o want_v of_o it_o this_o taunt_n be_v unexpected_a and_o by_o his_o good_a favour_n may_v have_v be_v spare_v for_o more_o reason_n than_o one_o for_o what_o do_v he_o in_o earnest_n think_v that_o the_o incovenience_n he_o have_v think_v of_o and_o may_v think_v of_o hereafter_o hold_v comparison_n with_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o heresy_n be_v not_o all_o temporal_a concern_v let_v they_o be_v what_o they_o will_v slight_a thing_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o eternal_a ruin_n of_o so_o many_o as_o heresy_n have_v swallow_v up_o in_o perdition_n will_v he_o compare_v the_o gain_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o the_o loss_n even_o of_o a_o single_a soul_n for_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v strange_a a_o man_n shall_v toss_v a_o word_n so_o long_o and_o never_o mind_n what_o it_o mean_v the_o king_n use_v the_o word_n appeal_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o allegory_n in_o which_o he_o speak_v the_o

be_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o in_o the_o appeal_v of_o which_o the_o king_n speak_v no_o see_v of_o lawyer_n nor_o need_v to_o travel_v from_o home_n who_o will_v but_o step_v to_o st._n james_n and_o see_v what_o they_o do_v and_o hear_v what_o they_o say_v have_v appeal_v as_o much_o as_o the_o king_n desire_v he_o shall_v to_o his_o conclusion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a self-denying_a humour_n for_o those_o to_o be_v most_o sensible_a of_o the_o want_n of_o appeal_n who_o will_v real_o suffer_v the_o most_o by_o they_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o than_o that_o it_o be_v very_o

retail_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v think_v she_o use_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n one_o thing_n i_o have_v omit_v which_o be_v that_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v in_o his_o letter_n to_o her_o highness_n that_o she_o have_v make_v he_o a_o promise_n in_o case_n any_o write_n be_v put_v into_o her_o hand_n by_o those_o of_o the_o roman_a church_n she_o will_v send_v it_o either_o to_o he_o or_o the_o

for_o have_v do_v his_o part_n which_o signify_v just_o nothing_o he_o will_v tacit_o insinuate_v that_o she_o break_v he_o word_n by_o not_o send_v any_o such_o write_n to_o he_o if_o so_o he_o be_v at_o his_o legerdemain_n again_o he_o will_v have_v it_o think_v she_o keep_v not_o her_o promise_n but_o do_v not_o positive_o affirm_v it_o but_o since_o it_o be_v manfse_v by_o the_o order_n of_o

to_o our_o answerer_n he_o have_v bring_v we_o at_o length_n to_o the_o several_a discourse_n which_o her_o highness_n have_v with_o the_o two_o bishop_n his_o grace_n of_o canterbury_n and_o the_o

his_o example_n these_o be_v her_o word_n after_o this_o i_o speak_v several_o to_o two_o of_o the_o best_a bishop_n we_o have_v in_o england_n who_o both_o tell_v i_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o it_o be_v very_o much_o to_o be_v wish_v we_o have_v keep_v as_o confession_n which_o be_v no_o doubt_n command_v of_o god_n that_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a thing_n in_o christianity_n that_o for_o their_o part_n they_o do_v it_o daily_o though_o they_o will_v not_o own_v it_o and_o afterward_o press_v one_o of_o they_o very_o much_o upon_o the_o other_o point_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o catholic_a he_o will_v not_o change_v his_o religion_n but_o that_o be_v of_o another_o church_n wherein_o he_o be_v sure_o be_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n he_o think_v it_o very_o ill_a to_o give_v that_o scandal_n as_o to_o leave_v that_o church_n wherein_o he_o have_v receive_v his_o baptism_n all_o these_o discourse_n do_v but_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n i_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_a and_o give_v i_o the_o most_o terrible_a agony_n in_o the_o world_n &c_n &c_n this_o he_o confess_v seem_v to_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n and_o where_o he_o confess_v the_o least_o advantage_n on_o our_o side_n the_o reader_n may_v swear_v there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o the_o matter_n but_o he_o retrench_v immediate_o and_o kick_v down_o the_o pail_n by_o add_v this_o restriction_n if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o circumstance_n and_o expression_n very_o much_o mistake_v in_o the_o representation_n of_o it_o yet_o in_o the_o next_o line_n again_o as_o if_o he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o own_o fearfulness_n he_o be_v for_o make_v a_o bold_a

our_o church_n but_o he_o restrain_v that_o too_o with_o this_o caution_n if_o the_o bishop_n authority_n and_o example_n do_v signify_v any_o thing_n with_o she_o thus_o from_o yield_v at_o first_o he_o come_v to_o modify_v his_o concession_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o strike_v out_o magnanimous_o but_o then_o he_o retreat_v again_o with_o another_o if_z it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v uneasy_a when_o he_o toss_v and_o turn_v so_o often_o in_o a_o breath_n and_o that_o he_o be_v diffident_a of_o his_o cause_n when_o he_o shift_v his_o plea_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o duchess_n lay_v a_o great_a stress_n on_o these_o concession_n and_o well_o she_o may_v for_o what_o a_o startle_v will_v it_o give_v to_o a_o doubt_a soul_n which_o already_o have_v take_v the_o alarm_n to_o hear_v two_o bishop_n whereof_o one_o be_v primate_n of_o all_o england_n renounce_v and_o condemn_v two_o of_o the_o establish_a article_n of_o their_o church_n but_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o
