Paul preach night and day morning and evening in our Churches as he did at Ephesus against our Prelates inhibitions and the people flocke from all parts and Parishes to heare them as they did to them our Prelates would not forthwith suspend them from preaching and clapp them by the heeles and likewise present and punish all their hearers for goeing out of their owne Parishes where they had no sermons to heare them since they thus use our painefullest Preachers and hearers who imitate their examples contrary to the very doctrine of our Homilies of the right of the Church p. 3. 4. which themselves have subscribed too but refuse to practise XII Whether if our Saviour should now descend in person from heaven and give his precept to our Lord Prelates which once he gave to his Apostles Luke 22. 25. 26. Mat. 20. 25. 26. 27. yee know that the Princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them and they that are great exercise authority upon them But it shall not be so among you but whosoever will be great among you let him be your Minister and whosoever will be chiefe among you let him be your servant c. they would presently convent and arraigne him for it as an open oppugner of their Lordly Iurisdiction and temporall Offices and power and censure him as severely as ever they did D r.
