2._o and_o that_o if_o this_o be_v not_o admit_v which_o i_o say_v in_o this_o my_o first_o answer_n it_o must_v follow_v out_o of_o this_o reason_n of_o victoria_n which_o himself_o too_o a_o little_a after_o it_o confess_v to_o follow_v that_o the_o politic_a temporal_a or_o civil_a commonwealth_n whereas_o it_o be_v also_o perfect_a and_o self_n sufficient_a uz._n in_o its_o own_o

the_o civil_a nay_o this_o conveniency_n do_v whole_o ruin_v their_o purpose_n for_o i_o demand_v whether_o be_v most_o convenient_a that_o secular_a prince_n and_o for_o the_o security_n of_o their_o secular_a principality_n and_o great_a splendour_n and_o majesty_n of_o they_o still_o retain_v that_o civil_a power_n over_o clerk_n which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nation_n give_v they_o over_o

and_o maugre_o all_o their_o opposition_n by_o law_n and_o arm_n what_o if_o the_o church_n shall_v find_v it_o sometime_o convenient_a also_o to_o subtract_v from_o the_o yoke_n or_o obedience_n of_o prince_n even_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o very_o mere_a laic_n to_o be_v as_o emancipate_v person_n or_o freeman_n evermore_o at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o church_n ready_a to_o serve_v she_o as_o the_o patroness_n of_o their_o freedom_n and_o serve_v she_o too_o against_o their_o former_a lord_n that_o convenient_a be_v of_o too_o great_a and_o too_o too_o dangerous_a extension_n to_o the_o second_o reason_n of_o the_o same_o francis_n victoria_n which_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v by_o his_o own_o proper_a authority_n choose_v ecclesiastical_a minister_n notwithstanding_o any_o contradiction_n of_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o therefore_o may_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n exempt_v such_o minister_n from_o secular_a iudicatories_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v vain_a first_o because_o we_o know_v that_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o be_v a_o clerk_n not_o even_o albeit_o the_o pope_n shall_v elect_v or_o appoint_v he_o for_o clerkship_n or_o which_o be_v

clerkship_n as_o have_v so_o many_o burden_n annex_v to_o it_o by_o the_o positive_a canon_n of_o the_o church_n only_o although_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v in_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o belong_v proper_o to_o his_o office_n to_o choose_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o such_o as_o free_o offer_v themselves_o who_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a and_o have_v these_o order_v and_o appoint_v minister_n of_o the_o church_n second_o because_o we_o know_v and_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a age_n of_o christianity_n when_o establish_v by_o law_n as_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o empire_n
