that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o of_o all_o other_o his_o highness_n dominion_n and_o country_n how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o power_n of_o

may_v in_o no_o reason_n be_v extend_v to_o that_o which_o be_v mere_o of_o another_o kind_n second_o i_o say_v that_o where_o a_o ambiguity_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o any_o part_n of_o a_o

attribute_v to_o the_o queen_n majesty_n the_o chief_a government_n by_o which_o title_n we_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o some_o standrous_a folk_n to_o be_v offend_v we_o give_v not_o to_o our_o

see_v therefore_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n have_v full_a authority_n to_o expound_v the_o law_n and_o they_o have_v sufficient_o manifest_v that_o by_o the_o supreme_a government_n give_v to_o the_o prince_n they_o understand_v that_o kind_n of_o government_n only_o which_o be_v exercise_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n i_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o that_o without_o all_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n the_o king_n majesty_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o this_o sense_n to_o be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o all_o his_o highness_n

i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o second_o which_o be_v propound_v negative_o that_o no_o foreign_a prince_n person_n prelate_n state_n or_o potentate_n have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v any_o

of_o flaw_n and_o main_a defect_n therein_o for_o first_o it_o will_v be_v inquire_v whether_o the_o apostleship_n be_v not_o ordain_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n as_o a_o special_a commission_n

26._o we_o find_v that_o mathias_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o apostleship_n in_o the_o room_n of_o judas_n yet_o afterward_o when_o james_n the_o brother_n of_o john_n be_v slay_v by_o herod_n we_o do_v

to_o hold_v the_o apostleship_n as_o it_o be_v in_o fee_n for_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o the_o other_o eleven_o shall_v hold_v the_o same_o for_o term_n of_o life_n only_o three_o if_o this_o state_n of_o perpetuity_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v upon_o one_o how_o come_v it_o to_o fall_v upon_o st._n peter_n rather_o than_o upon_o st._n john_n who_o outlive_v all_o
