4^        Chap.    J.  The  Loyalty  of

Part   T  (Some  other  hands  there  are  that  cannot  be    read)

It  appears  plain  from  this  Paper,  That  thefe  Prelates  and  Di-
vines were  not  for  any  other  Supremacy  in  the  Crown,  than  what
is  confident  with  the  Intrinfic  Power  of  the  Church  in  Ecclefiafti-
calDircipline.  For  Befides,  that  they  afltrta  P^wn  md  Authmty
in  ^\^0^%10  excommunicate  und  abfolve^  bj  ytTiVitof  3,  Commiflion

fromChrift,  and  diftind  from  Civil  Alagtftracy,  they  exprefly  af-
ferc  that  this  Power  and  Authority  was  committed  to  certiUn  ferfons
€Tjly  viz.  FrieFts  and  tifhofs^  and  therefore  they  couM  not  think
that  the  Magiltrates  CommiflTion  Entitled  him  to  chat  Power  and
Authority^  unlefs  they  won*d  make  him  a  Prieil  or  a  Bifliop  by  ver-
tue  of  his  OiEce  as  a  MagiftratejA  Thought  too  gro(s  to  be  imputed
to  men  of  their  fr nfe  aad  Learning.  And  it  ought  to  be  remark'd.
