in_o this_o place_n i_o meddle_v not_o with_o power_n of_o order_n i_o only_o define_v the_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o this_o power_n i_o say_v be_v mere_o spiritual_a first_o because_o

20._o joan._n 20._o that_o this_o jurisdiction_n be_v no_o manner_n of_o way_n temporal_a second_o this_o jurisdiction_n or_o power_n be_v not_o all_o that_o power_n which_o christ_n himself_o have_v as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o he_o never_o according_a to_o all_o the_o doctor_n communicate_v to_o his_o apostle_n the_o power_n of_o his_o excellency_n much_o less_o the_o power_n of_o his_o

or_o the_o holy_a spirit_n he_o undoubted_o declare_v it_o be_v no_o temporal_a power_n that_o he_o then_o bestow_v but_o a_o power_n mere_o spiritual_a and_o this_o hetrodox_n be_v that_o which_o

as_o if_o i_o shall_v frame_v this_o reason_n hetrodox_n affirm_v that_o a_o lion_n be_v a_o creature_n therefore_o hetrodox_n affirm_v that_o a_o lion_n be_v a_o little_a ant_n or_o pismire_n or_o this_o argument_n hetrodox_n affirm_v the_o power_n of_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n be_v temporal_a therefore_o hetrodox_n affirm_v the_o most_o christian_n king_n be_v the_o father_n of_o a_o

he_o do_v not_o forsooth_o thereby_o avouch_v that_o papal_a power_n be_v restrain_v to_o a_o private_a family_n and_o without_o all_o jurisdiction_n like_o the_o power_n of_o every_o simple_a and_o
