beene no Bilhops at all: as for example,t£'d. 1,,

mrmdéxr}, ex: at a 0-Zero; and in there Parliament

gr.-R.t.2. mp.”3.l and 7. R. 2.mp.n 12. it doth ap.;

peare that they were enaéted by the Kingwith e i
A the aflent and: agreement of theLords Tern-i

porall, and, Commons, where the eflatesi of
Parliament are mentioned, and not the Clergy.i

Divers bother Statutes might likevvife be namedi at
l to this purpofe, which I Omit; A

 The A fourth and left thing is of the Bifhops
holding of the Ectlefiafiicall Courts,“ in their
owne   names, and not_,inn the name of the King,
nor by C ommiflion from him, contrary to the

it Statute of I Ed. t6;.-recap. 2. and contrary to,

t,l1'e,pra6l:iceOf3Bifl10pr Ridlgr, Co'Uerdale,’.and—  r
it pom-.:,ll who  took * Comrniffionsn from the;
King for holding their Ecclefiaflicalll Courts, r  

as may be feencialttthis day’ inthe Rols; r
And although it will be obje&‘ed,that by at
late Proclamation in 163 7.‘wherein the opi-

 nion oftheejudgesis mentioned, it isadeclared 
upon their opinion, that the A6’: of the 1 Ed. 6'.

r was repealed, and that Bifhops: may now i kee
Courts in their owne names, and lend procef-IE

under their owne: -feales ; yet it is. yvell known,
thattthe Statute of;-1 Q Mary, Wl1lCiI repealed

the Statute of I Ed, 6. was it felfe repealed!

neerly concerning lthe‘ right of the Crowne  t
of England in the point of Epifiropacy, I am 7;

againfl the propoléllof that queflion, and am

A for the retaining of the London Petition, and

for a thorough reformation of all abufes, and

grievancesof Epifcopacy mentioned in the

Minifiers Rernonftrance 1, which Reformation
may perhaps ferve the turne without alteration

of the Government of England, intoa forme»
of Presbytery, as_ it is in otherlKingdomes of *

Scotland, France, G'e22e*U4,and the Low Cozazztre/vr,_

which for mine owne part, had I lived in theft:-~ A
w . Kingdom:-s, I fhould have beene of the opi-
_ nionof the Proteilant party in point of Pres.-.

bytcry, becaufe thofe Kingdomes are governed-
by the Civill Law , which maintaines the ]u--

rifdiéitionof the Pope and Pa pall Epifciopacyj A 4 
which the ancient Lawes of England condemne, i
i being likewife in themfelves oppofite to the

Civill and Canon Lawes... And if not vrithf’tan--

ding all the Reformationtheat can be made byt“the
.Lawtes of this Land, at better forme of govern-.

A t ment may evidently appeare to usyconcetningt
