the_o king_n subject_n in_o england_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o take_v both_o these_o oath_n as_o often_o as_o the_o king_n shall_v exact_v the_o same_o or_o whether_o they_o shall_v suffer_v

that_o the_o say_a oath_n may_v be_v take_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n and_o their_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o no_o man_n with_o a_o safe_a conscience●_n can_v deny_v the_o catholic_a faith_n but_o he_o now_o who_o shall_v take_v this_o oath_n propose_v by_o the_o king_n shall_v deny_v the_o catholic_a faith_n though_o not_o general_o yet_o in_o ●art_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o belong_v to_o

but_o now_o among_o the_o caluinist_n of_o england_n who_o adhere_v unto_o the_o king_n the_o same_o be_v call_v into_o doubt_n for_o that_o some_o of_o they_o affirm_v other_o deny_v these_o point_n

see_v that_o some_o deny_v they_o some_o affirm_v they_o it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o king_n whole_a primacy_n be_v a_o uncertain_a thing_n what_o rashness_n then_o and_o imprudency_n be_v

doubtful_a 8._o i_o will_v explicate_v more_o distinct_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v the_o oath_n of_o the_o king_n primacy_n do_v contain_v so_o many_o part_n as_o there_o be_v or_o be_v think_v to_o be_v office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o king_n primacy_n the_o office_n then_o either_o be_v or_o be_v think_v to_o be_v diverse_a as_o we_o have_v see_v before_o to_o wit_n to_o assemble_v synod_n to_o enact_v and_o decree_v ecclesiastical_a law_n to_o confer_v benefice_n to_o create_v bishop_n to_o determine_v controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o like_a therefore_o diverse_a be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n of_o these_o part_n then_o let_v we_o take_v one_o of_o they_o by_o itself_o to_o wit_v this_o ay_o a._n b._n do_v swear_v in_o my_o

that_o will_v m._n tooker_n i_o be_o sure_a if_o he_o be_v a_o constant_a man_n will_v not_o for_o that_o he_o deny_v the_o creation_n and_o deposition_n of_o bishop_n to_o belong_v any_o way_n unto_o the_o king_n and_o if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o who_o otherwise_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n primacy_n at_o least_o in_o word_n will_v not_o swear_v hereunto_o how_o then_o shall_v catholic_n be_v

other_o reason_n be_v this_o king_n james_n do_v often_o protest_v that_o he_o claim_v no_o more_o right_a or_o inrisdiction_n over_o the_o church_n than_o do_v the_o king_n in_o the_o old_a

the_o king_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n can_v not_o compel_v their_o subject_n to_o swear_v such_o a_o oath_n as_o this_o ay_o a._n b._n do_v open_o testify_v and_o in_o my_o conscience_n declare_v that_o jeroboam_fw-la be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o this_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n aswell_o in_o spiritual_a as_o temporal_a matter_n and_o that_o no_o foreigner_n have_v any_o
