It seems the King's Authority signifies nothing, with this City Clergyman. But if he had the Authority of Parliament for it, he would stretch his Conscience, and Read the Declara∣tion. In the mean time, The King's Dispensive Power is no Business for a Man in his Station to meddle with: Nor is he to be such a Judge of Royal Declarations, as to be the Inter∣preter of their Meaning or Intention. That Power is not within the Verge of his Desk or Pulpit either, neither can the
Authority of Parliament warrant any such Boldness among Ec∣clesiasticks.
