Dering, Sir Edward,
moves the first reading of the Root-and-Branch Bill,
speaks in favour of primitive episcopacy,
proposes that a national synod shall be assembled,
opposes a clause on the Grand Remonstrance,
defends the bishops from the charge of idolatry,
is summoned before the Commons to give account of his part in the Kentish petition,
