On which day, the B. Edwin, and Archb. of S. Senon, elect, in the name of the whole Clergy, answered for them all before the King, and endeavoured to prove, that a person ecclesiastical, might have temporal jurisdiction, by the example of Melchizedek, who was k of Salem, & Priest, &c. And in the conclusion of his reply, said, because a bill of many articles was exhibited, part whereof did infringe the whole Ecclesiastical jurisdiction: to the defence whereof, we will stand unto the death (said he:) some other of them, contain only certain abuses, which we believe none such to be: but if there be, we will see redress therein, to the quietness of the people, and praise of almighty God.
