An humble examination of a printed abstract of the answers to nine reasons of the House of Commons, against the votes of bishops in Parliament

An apology for the ancient right and power of the bishops to sit and vote in parliaments: as the first and principal of the three estates of the kingdome, as Lord Coke sheweth, 3. Institut. C. I. and other both learned lavvyers and antiquaries, as Camden, Spelman, Selden, and many others : with an answer to the reasons maintained by Dr. Burgesse and many others against the votes of bishops : a determination at Cambridge of the learned and reverend Dr. Davenant B. of Salisbury, Englished : the speech in Parliament made by Dr. Williams, L. Archbishop of York, in defence of the bishops : two speeches spoken in the House of Lords by the Lord Viscount Newarke, 1641.
