2. In the second place, it is denied that the Prelates respect not the authority of Parliaments, because, forsooth, ⟨p. 106⟩they have the kings commission, and Broad seal […] they are by Parliament confined. That is; they neglect no• Parliamentary Statutes in all things. For so far as the• can turn any Statute Law to serve their turn, and i• those circumstances which they dare not, for thei• heads, omit, they follow that which Parliaments pr• scribe.

Now if by mistaking, he meaneth bd, and unlawful taking, this which he saith may be granted But if he meaneth an error of ignorance, surely he mistaketh the matter one way or other. For 1. Ignorance of the Law doeth not excuse any violators of the same muh less Scribes, and Doctors, Prelates, which use to be among Law-makers, and in Commission for to se to the execution of Laws. 2. Those that err of ignorance, correct their fault upon information, and knowledge: But our Prelates being diverse times warned, eve by the Parliament, have not mended, but more violently than before, persisted in, and pursued this mistaking 3. Mistaking in matters of such weight, as are so many good mens livings, and free-holds, is a broad fault, of the same nature (in all Law) with ill (crafty) meaning.
