A16170	A courteous conference with the English Catholikes Romane about the six articles ministred vnto the seminarie priestes, wherein it is apparantly proued by their owne diuinitie, and the principles of their owne religion, that the Pope cannot depose her Maiestie, or release her subiectes of their alleageance vnto her. And finally, that the bull of Pius Quiutus [sic] pronounced against her Maiestie is of no force eyther in lawe or conscience, all Catholicke scruples to the contrarie beeing throughly and perfectly cleared and resolued, and many memoriall matters exactly discussed, which haue not beene handled by man heeretofore. Written by Iohn Bishop a recusant papist.	Bishop, John, d. 1613.; Frewen, John, 1558-1628.	1598 (1598)	STC 3092; ESTC S102284	61,282	90

by_o the_o like_a in_o david_n against_o miphiboseth_n yet_o do_v neither_o he_o nor_o any_o other_o ancient_a author_n accuse_v he_o of_o tyranny_n for_o meddle_v with_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v

unto_o the_o emperor_n of_o foul_a fact_n constantine_n write_v unto_o his_o sister_n son_n d●linatius_n who_o be_v then_o abide_v at_o antioch_n 500_o mile_n from_o alexandria_n to_o call_v the_o
