           for

           And
           that
           then
           I
           moved

           for
           petitioning
           his

           I
           conceived
           of
           weight
           to
           stop
           the

           give
           you
           some
           further
           ground
           of
           my
           opinion

           that

           I
           under
           favour
           conceive
           ,
           they

           be
           made

           Master
           Speaker

           You
           know
           the
           proceedings
           against
           those
           Bishops
           which
           have
           beene

           this
           State
           ,
           and
           that
           we
           have
           prosecuted
           to
           our
           Impeachment
           of
           them
           of
           high
           Treason
           ,
           which
           was
           a
           mayne
           ground
           of
           my
           opnion
           for
           the
           then
           averting
           that
           intended
           businesse
           in
           making
           these
           new
           Bishops
           ,
           till
           that
           businesse
           was
           brought
           to
           a
           period
           .
        
         
           And
           Master
           Speaker
           ,
           I
           perswade
           my selfe
           that
           there
           are
           as
           great
           Delinquents
           to
           their
           power
           amongst
           the
           inferiour
           Clergy
           ,
           as
           the
           Bishops
           ,
           I
           speak
           not
           with
           an
           intent
           you
           should
           conceive
           that
           I
           reflect
           any
           ways
           upon
           the
           persons
           of
           any
           of
           these
           that
           are

           they
           shall
           be
           found
           guilty
           ,
           these
           new
           elected
           may
           be
           awhile
           procrastinated

           )
           had
           many
           debates

           of

           the
