than_o to_o the_o clergy_n of_o succeed_a age_n yet_o they_o all_o act_n by_o the_o same_o authority_n and_o for_o the_o same_o end_n therefore_o the_o unfixt_v and_o move_a nature_n of_o a_o cure_n

the_o patron_n appoint_v the_o hour_n of_o prayer_n which_o seem_v to_o imply_v something_o of_o command_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o his_o choose_n the_o time_n of_o prayer_n he_o do_v not_o appoint_v any_o service_n for_o himself_o but_o only_o declare_v when_o he_o and_o his_o household_n be_v ready_a for_o god_n worship_n and_o desirous_a of_o the_o priestly_a absolution_n and_o blessing_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o he_o to_o do_v because_o the_o family_n be_v employ_v in_o his_o business_n and_o under_o his_o command_n and_o therefore_o without_o his_o permission_n they_o have_v not_o many_o time_n a_o opportunity_n of_o meet_v together_o for_o divine_a service_n which_o be_v still_o more_o reasonable_a because_o the_o priest_n be_v suppose_v only_o to_o intend_v the_o affair_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o be_v always_o ready_a for_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o office_n and_o consequent_o that_o time_n which_o be_v most_o convenient_a for_o those_o under_o his_o care_n and_o in_o which_o the_o assembly_n be_v like_a to_o be_v most_o numerous_a he_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o office_n bind_v to_o observe_v whether_o his_o cure_n lie_v in_o a_o private_a family_n or_o a_o whole_a parish_n but_o last_o it_o may_v be_v urge_v that_o the_o 13_o of_o hen._n 8._o cap._n 28._o call_v the_o patron_n of_o chaplain_n their_o master_n and_o will_v any_o man_n be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o question_v the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o here_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o this_o act_n call_v only_o those_o patron_n master_n who_o can_v give_v qualification_n for_o plurality_n have_v premise_v this_o observation_n i_o answer_v with_o all_o due_a submission_n and_o respect_n to_o this_o legislative_a council_n that_o if_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v any_o civil_a right_n then_o it_o be_v confess_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n either_o to_o limit_v or_o take_v it_o away_o because_o the_o whole_a power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v there_o either_o personal_o or_o by_o representation_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v deprive_v any_o person_n of_o his_o honour_n or_o estate_n the_o right_n of_o the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n except_v as_o far_o as_o they_o please_v not_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o act_v unjust_o but_o only_o that_o what_o they_o determine_v have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n because_o every_o man_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v give_v his_o consent_n to_o it_o but_o here_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o distinct_a society_n from_o the_o state_n and_o independent_a upon_o it_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n be_v found_v in_o the_o appointment_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o commission_n which_o he_o give_v the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n and_o consequent_o do_v not_o derive_v its_o authority_n from_o any_o earthly_a power_n the_o civil_a magistrate_n never_o yet_o make_v bishop_n priest_n or_o deacon_n nor_o ever_o can_v and_o therefore_o we_o may_v safe_o affirm_v without_o any_o injury_n or_o disrespect_n to_o he_o that_o he_o can_v make_v these_o spiritual_a office_n great_a or_o less_o than_o they_o be_v therefore_o if_o god_n have_v make_v the_o priest_n office_n as_o nothing_o be_v plain_a in_o scripture_n than_o that_o he_o have_v a_o office_n of_o government_n direction_n and_o superintendence_n over_o those_o he_o be_v concern_v with_o then_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o make_v his_o condition_n servile_a because_o no_o person_n or_o society_n of_o person_n can_v take_v away_o that_o power_n which_o they_o never_o give_v the_o parliament_n may_v with_o equal_a right_n enact_v that_o parent_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o their_o child_n and_o that_o the_o wife_n shall_v be_v her_o husband_n mistress_n without_o a_o compliment_n as_o make_v the_o people_n the_o priest_n master_n and_o give_v the_o flock_n a_o jurisdiction_n over_o the_o shepherd_n they_o may_v with_o the_o same_o justice_n repeal_v the_o most_o establish_v law_n of_o nature_n and_o invert_v the_o right_n of_o the_o two_o former_a relation_n as_o of_o this_o latter_a for_o this_o have_v its_o establishment_n from_o the_o same_o god_n that_o the_o other_o have_v and_o for_o end_n at_o least_o equal_o weighty_a and_o momentous_a this_o power_n of_o their_o spiritual_a governor_n they_o have_v no_o more_o authority_n to_o destroy_v than_o they_o have_v to_o vote_n down_o the_o cannon_n of_o scripture_n or_o to_o decree_v sacrilege_n to_o be_v no_o sin_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o all_o ecclesiastical_a person_n as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o state_n be_v subject_a to_o its_o authority_n and_o that_o a_o priest_n or_o bishop_n may_v proper_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o the_o magistrate_n if_o he_o hold_v any_o secular_a employment_n under_o he_o because_o in_o this_o case_n he_o act_n by_o a_o commission_n from_o the_o civil_a government_n but_o this_o only_o concern_v he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o state_n and_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o affect_v his_o spiritual_a
