(vnderstanding, by Collation of Benefices, Presenta∣tion, Nomination, Donation, as Hainric doth) ac∣knowledgeth the Kings right to conferre 60. Benefi∣ces, or moe in a yeare, and 10. or 12. Bishopricks in a yeare, as they may fall void: Therefore Tooker ta∣king Collation for Institution and Sacration, granteth right and power to the King, to Institute, and Conse∣crate, so many Priests and Bishops yearely. So boyishly daunceth this Iesuite vnder the net of Equiuocation, easily perceiued, by all, who running, do but cast their eyes vpon him.
The Kings different, and supereminent right and power aboue all his subiects, in bestowing of Benefi∣ces, hath in the English Concord beene vnfolded di∣stinctlie, and more sufficiently then Becane deserueth, thus:
- 1. The King only by his Breue Episcopo, Writ to the Bishop; after presentation in his Maiesties Court, reco∣uered, compelleth the Bishops to institute the Pre∣sentee.
- 2. The King onely presenteth his Clearks by lapse of time, to weet, after 18. Monethes Vacancy.
- 3. The King onely (or they only vnto whom that is granted by the King) presents his Clearkes to his free Chappells, exempted by him from Episcopall Vi∣sitation; by his Regall Donation onely, without any Institution or Induction of Bishop or Arch-deacon, giuing his Clearks reall and lawfull possession of such Donatiues.
All these three particulars are vulgarly knowen, and ingenuously confessed by Dr. Tooker: which (if hee would vouchsafe this Iesuit an answere) would expres∣lie

appeare in his after-writings, as the like hath beene done in Mr. Burhill his after-writings.
But all these three instances of Regall Supremacy a∣boue all his Subiects, Cleargie, or Lay, this vnlearned Iesuite silently passeth ouer: Only as the dogge tur∣neth to his vomit, so hee in his Examen returneth to his loathsome froath and scumme of idle repetition of the selfe same things, matter, sentences, words and syl∣lables, which in his Iarre he had ser forth in print; and which said froath, by the very blast of my English Con∣cord, was vtterly dissolued and scattered, long before this his Examen peeped out.
