The humble petition of Theophilus Brabourn unto the honourable Parliament, that, as all magistrates in the kingdome doe in their office, so bishops may be required in their office to own the Kings supremacy; : the which they not do; as I conceive, and shall presently prove; yet so as I submit all to the wisdome of this honorable House, to correct or reject if they find cause.
