Excerpt from Synodus Anglicana
But these three privileges were so closely circum scribed, that they afforded little scope for independent action. The lower clergy were formed into a separate body; but they received directions from the upper house as to the business they were allowed to transact, and mandates from the same house suspended their proceedings and prorogued their sessions: they had a final negative on the measures transmitted to them; but the only method in which they could urge their complaints and offer their suggestions was in the form of a petition to the bishops: they could elect their own prolocutor; but be derived his authority from the con firmation of the archbishop.
