of_o they_o be_v decay_v and_o many_o of_o they_o have_v give_v over_o that_o trade_n to_o the_o hindrance_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o also_o the_o like_a be_v fall_v to_o the_o mariner_n and_o shipwright_n of_o this_o realm_n which_o number_n be_v great_o decay_v and_o with_o they_o the_o serviceable_a ship_n and_o ship_v very_o much_o weaken_v which_o threaten_v a_o decay_n of_o the_o wall_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o realm_n which_o by_o good_a ship_n and_o good_a mariner_n be_v well_o defend_v and_o i_o find_v also_o that_o god_n have_v not_o bless_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o realm_n for_o it_o be_v go_v from_o we_o as_o if_o god_n have_v blow_v upon_o it_o to_o turn_v it_o out_o of_o the_o land_n so_o as_o prince_n &_o people_n want_n and_o i_o find_v also_o in_o the_o call_n of_o lawyer_n that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a increase_n of_o their_o labour_n as_o in_o time_n past_a except_o it_o be_v some_o few_o favourite_n and_o i_o think_v that_o divers_a knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n now_o here_o present_a about_o i_o can_v say_v the_o like_a of_o divers_a sort_n of_o man_n in_o their_o country_n city_n and_o burroughes_n if_o they_o list_v to_o speak_v whereupon_o i_o do_v assure_o think_v that_o for_o some_o public_a sin_n of_o the_o land_n god_n have_v a_o quarrel_n to_o the_o land_n whereby_o he_o do_v withdraw_v his_o ordinary_a blessing_n which_o public_a sin_n this_o great_a council_n of_o the_o realm_n ought_v first_o to_o seek_v out_o and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o our_o power_n to_o redress_v the_o same_o that_o god_n be_v thereby_o reconcile_v unto_o the_o land_n a_o happy_a blessing_n may_v ensue_v to_o all_o the_o estate_n thereof_o which_o to_o effect_v you_o shall_v see_v what_o we_o for_o our_o part_n have_v do_v to_o obtain_v god_n love_a countenance_n to_o the_o land_n as_o a_o shield_n by_o remove_v the_o public_a sin_n thereof_o which_o as_o a_o thick_a cloud_n do_v keep_v from_o we_o god_n sunshining_a grace_n first_o we_o do_v see_v and_o consider_v that_o the_o precious_a name_n of_o god_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o regard_v more_o than_o our_o life_n be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n so_o tender_o regard_v &_o preserve_v as_o the_o name_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n in_o the_o land_n for_o if_o some_o evil_a word_n be_v use_v against_o the_o king_n it_o be_v high_a treason_n for_o which_o the_o offender_n shall_v die_v and_o if_o some_o evil_a word_n be_v use_v against_o noble_a man_n it_o be_v publishable_a by_o the_o statute_n de_fw-fr scandalun_n magnatum_fw-la and_o that_o for_o some_o evil_a word_n use_v by_o any_o private_a person_n against_o another_o a_o action_n of_o the_o case_n do_v lie_v at_o the_o common_a law_n to_o punish_v the_o offender_n and_o to_o recompense_v the_o party_n wrong_v but_o for_o abuse_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n and_o tear_v he_o in_o piece_n by_o wicked_a oath_n there_o be_v no_o punishment_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n whereby_o both_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n increase_v in_o that_o sin_n greevous_o every_o day_n without_o punishment_n or_o check_n wherefore_o to_o prevent_v that_o sin_n we_o do_v at_o two_o several_a session_n of_o parliament_n make_v two_o several_a bill_n which_o do_v pass_v our_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o be_v make_v law_n for_o punishment_n of_o such_o offender_n and_o to_o take_v away_o that_o cry_a sin_n which_o do_v most_o provoke_v god_n &_o most_o grieve_v the_o subject_n viz_o the_o deprive_v prive_v disgrace_v silence_v disgrade_n and_o imprison_a such_o of_o god_n messenger_n be_v learned_a and_o godly_a preacher_n as_o he_o have_v furnish_v with_o most_o heavenly_a grace_n to_o call_v we_o to_o true_a repentance_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o for_o not_o conform_v themselves_o otherwise_o than_o by_o subscription_n limit_v in_o the_o statute_n make_v in_o the_o 14._o year_n of_o the_o late_a queen_n elizabeth_n of_o famous_a memory_n thereby_o make_v the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n and_o common_a wealth_n to_o jar_n which_o to_o reform_v we_o make_v a_o law_n for_o subscription_n agree_v to_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o foresay_a statute_n which_o every_o wise_a man_n will_v approve_v &_o willing_o subscribe_v unto_o whereby_o much_o peace_n &_o unity_n will_v grow_v in_o the_o church_n &_o common_a wealth_n &_o be_v a_o occasion_n that_o many_o subject_n may_v be_v well_o teach_v the_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n who_o now_o want_v sufficient_a knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o ground_v their_o faith_n upon_o and_o to_o take_v away_o another_o gross_a sin_n which_o be_v make_v lawful_a by_o act_n of_o parliament_n whereby_o the_o land_n be_v make_v guilty_a thereof_o viz._n concern_v non_fw-la resident_n and_o plurality_n of_o benefice_n we_o do_v pass_v a_o bill_n in_o the_o last_o session_n of_o parliament_n &_o have_v another_o bill_n concern_v that_o offence_n ready_a to_o pass_v be_v twice_o read_v and_o agree_v upon_o at_o the_o committee_n whereby_o we_o abrogate_v so_o much_o of_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 21_o year_n of_o k._n hen_n the_o 8._o as_o do_v enable_v non_fw-la resident_n or_o the_o take_n of_o more_o benefice_n than_o one_o with_o cure_n of_o soul_n for_o by_o the_o proviso_n in_o that_o statute_n the_o king_n chapleines_fw-fr may_v have_v as_o many_o benefice_n as_o they_o can_v get_v without_o stint_n &_o some_o other_o may_v have_v 4._o benefice_n with_o cure_n at_o one_o time_n in_o several_a county_n &_o some_o two_o benefice_n &_o yet_o be_v resident_a upon_o none_o of_o they_o so_o long_o as_o he_o attend_v upon_o his_o lord_n or_o mr._n which_o be_v a_o thing_n intolerable_a in_o a_o christian_a common_a wealth_n and_o for_o that_o some_o scandalous_a minister_n of_o evil_a life_n do_v bring_v a_o great_a slander_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v many_o godly_a &_o learned_a preacher_n we_o do_v make_v a_o good_a law_n to_o remove_v such_o scandalous_a minister_n from_o their_o place_n and_o where_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n the_o ecclesiastical_a person_n shall_v in_o their_o government_n use_v only_o the_o spiritual_a sword_n by_o exhortation_n admonition_n and_o excommunication_n which_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o church_n to_o exclude_v impenitent_a sinner_n &_o to_o receive_v into_o the_o church_n the_o penitent_a and_o faithful_a person_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o temporal_a sword_n to_o the_o temporal_a magistrate_n which_o be_v always_o so_o use_v in_o england_n until_o the_o second_o year_n of_o king_n hen._n 4._o at_o which_o time_n the_o popish_a prelate_n follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n at_o rome_n obtain_v a_o statute_n without_o the_o free_a consent_n of_o the_o subject_n as_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o mr._n fox_n and_o in_o some_o sort_n appear_v by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o tower_n by_o which_o statute_n they_o get_v the_o temporal_a sword_n into_o their_o hand_n which_o statute_n be_v since_o by_o several_a act_n of_o parliament_n make_v void_a with_o great_a disgrace_n and_o yet_o by_o colour_n of_o that_o temporal_a authority_n once_o by_o a_o short_a space_n by_o they_o use_v some_o ecclesiastical_a person_n do_v use_v both_o sword_n to_o the_o great_a grief_n and_o trouble_v of_o the_o subject_n and_o with_o those_o two_o sword_n they_o do_v also_o use_v the_o oath_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la which_o begin_v first_o in_o england_n by_o that_o statute_n of_o the_o 2._o year_n of_o k._n henry_n the_o 4._o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o england_n &_o as_o i_o very_o think_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n wherefore_o we_o to_o reform_v those_o great_a abuse_n make_v 2._o good_a law_n the_o one_o to_o abridge_v the_o force_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a commission_n in_o many_o point_n other_o to_o abrogate_v and_o take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n to_o minister_v the_o oath_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la be_v a_o very_a hateful_a thing_n and_o unlawful_a andi_fw-la for_o that_o among_o the_o canon_n late_o make_v by_o the_o clergy_n of_o england_n in_o their_o convocation_n it_o be_v think_v that_o some_o of_o their_o canon_n do_v extend_v to_o charge_v the_o body_n land_n and_o good_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o realm_n further_o than_o be_v lawful_a and_o meet_v we_o therefore_o make_v a_o good_a law_n to_o make_v void_v such_o canon_n as_o do_v charge_n the_o body_n land_n and_o good_n of_o the_o subject_n unless_o that_o the_o same_o canon_n be_v confirm_v by_o parliament_n and_o as_o we_o have_v care_n of_o the_o church_n so_o have_v we_o care_v of_o the_o common_a wealth_n touch_v imposition_n lay_v upon_o the_o subject_n good_n and_o
