the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o oath_n the_o first_o be_v that_o any_o catholic_a may_v lawful_o and_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n declare_v testify_v and_o acknowledge_v before_o god_n and_o in_o his_o conscience_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n to_o depose_v his_o majesty_n nor_o to_o dispose_v of_o any_o his_o kingdom_n or_o dominion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o other_o clause_n which_o do_v follow_v from_o this_o doctrine_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o doctrine_n for_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n i_o will_v not_o say_v at_o this_o present_a be_v a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o repugnant_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o the_o ancient_a father_n but_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a and_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n as_o master_n fitzherbert_n and_o some_o other_o of_o his_o company_n will_v needs_o have_v it_o to_o be_v and_o the_o contrary_n be_v probable_a and_o consequent_o may_v with_o a_o safe_a and_o probable_a

which_o i_o affirm_v at_o this_o time_n be_v that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o such_o power_n let_v we_o first_o agree_v about_o this_o point_n that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o such_o power_n and_o then_o we_o will_v dispute_v how_o probable_a it_o be_v that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n all_o mr._n fitzherbert_n

that_o prince_n which_o be_v excommunicate_v or_o deprive_v by_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v depose_v by_o their_o subject_n or_o any_o other_o to_o omit_v now_o the_o word_n murder_a be_v a_o impious_a

to_o be_v abhor_v detest_a and_o abjure_v so_o from_o their_o heart_n as_o i_o have_v clear_o prove_v before_o and_o as_o for_o the_o speculative_a doctrine_n of_o depose_v prince_n i_o neither_o
