and_o great_a since_o the_o reformation_n than_o before_o great_a reason_n because_o the_o bishop_n of_o england_n have_v be_v account_v and_o true_o be_v grave_n and_o experience_v man_n and_o far_o fit_a to_o have_v vote_n in_o parliament_n for_o the_o make_n of_o law_n than_o many_o young_a youth_n which_o be_v in_o either_o house_n and_o because_o it_o be_v most_o fit_a in_o the_o make_n of_o

to_o other_o entrench_v upon_o religion_n itself_o or_o the_o church_n and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n settle_v it_o so_o in_o england_n where_o bishop_n have_v have_v their_o vote_n in_o parliament_n and_o in_o make_v law_n ever_o since_o there_o be_v parliament_n yea_o or_o any_o thing_n that_o resemble_v they_o in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o for_o my_o part_n be_v i_o able_a to_o give_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o why_o bishop_n shall_v have_v vote_n in_o parliament_n yet_o i_o shall_v in_o all_o humility_n think_v that_o there_o be_v and_o be_v still_o some_o great_a reason_n for_o it_o since_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o state_n have_v successive_o in_o so_o many_o age_n think_v it_o fit_a and_o as_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n they_o shall_v have_v vote_n in_o make_v law_n so_o be_v there_o great_a reason_n for_o it_o since_o the_o reformation_n than_o before_o for_o before_o that_o time_n clergyman_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o church_n canon_n and_o constitution_n and_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n have_v but_o little_a power_n over_o they_o then_o in_o the_o year_n 1532._o the_o clergy_n submit_v and_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v make_v upon_o it_o so_o that_o ever_o since_o the_o clergy_n of_o england_n from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a be_v as_o much_o subject_n to_o the_o temporal_a law_n as_o any_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o have_v as_o free_v a_o vote_n and_o consent_n to_o the_o law_n which_o bind_v they_o as_o other_o subject_n have_v yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o all_o

out_o of_o the_o lord_n house_n by_o which_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o england_n as_o now_o it_o stand_v no_o clergyman_n have_v a_o consent_n by_o himself_o or_o his_o proxy_n to_o those_o law_n to_o which_o all_o of_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n before_o i_o pass_v from_o this_o point_n this_o lord_n must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o that_o which_o be_v open_o speak_v in_o both_o house_n that_o the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v such_o a_o clamour_n against_o the_o bishop_n vote_n be_v because_o all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o vote_v for_o the_o king_n so_o that_o the_o potent_a faction_n can_v not_o carry_v what_o they_o please_v especial_o in_o the_o upper_a house_n and_o when_o some_o see_v they_o can_v not_o have_v their_o will_n to_o cast_v out_o their_o vote_n fair_o the_o rabble_n must_v come_v down_o again_o and_o clamour_n against_o their_o vote_n not_o without_o danger_n to_o some_o of_o their_o person_n and_o come_v they_o do_v in_o multitude_n but_o who_o procure_v their_o come_n i_o know_v not_o unless_o it_o be_v this_o lord_n and_o his_o follower_n and_o notwithstanding_o this_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n and_o be_v open_o speak_v in_o the_o house_n that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n only_o why_o they_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o the_o bishop_n vote_n yet_o this_o most_o godly_a and_o religious_a lord_n pretend_v here_o a_o far_o better_a cause_n than_o this_o namely_o that_o they_o may_v as_o they_o ought_v careful_o attend_v to_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n and_o not_o be_v distract_v from_o that_o great_a work_n by_o be_v trouble_v with_o these_o worldly_a affair_n and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o same_o zeal_n will_v carry_v the_o same_o man_n to_o the_o devout_a take_v away_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o church_n land_n and_o perhaps_o the_o parson_n tithe_n too_o and_o put_v they_o to_o such_o stipend_n as_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a that_o so_o they_o may_v preach_v the_o gospel_n free_o and_o not_o be_v draw_v away_o with_o these_o worldly_a affair_n from_o the_o principal_a work_n of_o that_o function_n well!_o my_o lord_n must_v give_v i_o leave_v here_o to_o prophesy_v a_o little_a and_o it_o be_v but_o this_o in_o short_a either_o the_o bishop_n shall_v in_o few_o year_n

be_v much_o more_o unlawful_a for_o they_o to_o admit_v of_o than_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n reject_v as_o a_o distraction_n unreasonable_a for_o they_o to_o be_v interrupt_v by_o why_o but_o yet_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o sit_v in_o such_o place_n and_o will_v undertake_v such_o employment_n what_o then_o why_o then_o they_o must_v not_o sit_v there_o as_o ignorant_a
