for_o first_o whereas_o you_o be_v the_o chief_o or_o only_o suspect_v body_n be_v therefore_o bind_v to_o offer_v more_o satisfaction_n than_o other_o you_o make_v your_o proposition_n to_o submit_v to_o whatever_o all_o other_o catholic_n priest_n shall_v agree_v to_o which_o sound_v as_o much_o as_o if_o any_o disagree_v you_o will_v adhere_v to_o they_o or_o in_o plain_a term_n that_o you_o

scrupulous_o upon_o your_o general_n decree_n which_o sure_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v to_o bind_v in_o such_o extreme_a case_n even_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o general_a council_n we_o know_v oblige_v not_o where_o our_o obedience_n will_v ruin_v we_o and_o will_v you_o still_o more_o precise_o observe_v your_o own_o by-law_n than_o the_o sacred_a canon_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n methinks_v therefore_o in_o due_a satisfaction_n concern_v the_o pretence_n of_o the_o pope_n against_o the_o king_n whatever_o catholic_n doctor_n hold_v favourable_a to_o prince_n in_o these_o difference_n shall_v by_o you_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o subscribe_v and_o promise_v to_o be_v maintain_v with_o all_o your_o power_n as_o first_o the_o doctrine_n which_o deny_v that_o

to_o release_v any_o lawful_o make_v oath_n of_o allegiance_n or_o other_o promise_n to_o his_o majesty_n or_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n and_o because_o none_o of_o these_o or_o the_o like_a

determine_v the_o contrary_a he_o must_v renounce_v what_o before_o he_o hold_v for_o good_a therefore_o you_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n moreover_o because_o if_o the_o pope_n by_o his_o own_o or_o any_o other_o authority_n may_v force_v his_o majesty_n subject_n to_o go_v into_o country_n where_o they_o can_v enjoy_v the_o protection_n of_o their_o prince_n the_o subject_n be_v not_o free_a to_o maintain_v these_o assertion_n therefore_o this_o position_n also_o that_o a_o subject_a of_o england_n be_v bind_v to_o appear_v before_o any_o foreign_a tribunal_n without_o his_o majesty_n consent_n be_v also_o to_o be_v condemn_v nor_o be_v it_o less_o necessary_a you_o shall_v express_o renounce_v the_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n and_o mental_a reservation_n without_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n afford_v very_o little_a security_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v you_o will_v find_v some_o way_n how_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o when_o you_o solemn_o make_v your_o disclaim_n of_o these_o last_o opinion_n you_o do_v not_o practice_v they_o even_o while_o you_o renounce_v they_o unless_o such_o tenet_n be_v stub_a out_o of_o the_o

as_o shall_v waver_v with_o every_o blast_n from_o rome_n neither_o can_v any_o priest_n exempt_v himself_o from_o subscribe_v the_o condemnation_n of_o all_o these_o for_o ignorance_n of_o necessary_a truth_n be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v in_o teacher_n and_o suppose_v that_o every_o one_o know_v the_o proposition_n be_v not_o article_n of_o catholic_n faith_n the_o manifest_a

best_a as_o your_o only_a way_n to_o lay_v aside_o your_o private_a interest_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o declare_v yourselves_o not_o the_o last_o but_o the_o forward_a in_o your_o allegiance_n to_o his_o majesty_n that_o you_o may_v cancel_v your_o former_a proceed_n and_o blot_v out_o the_o settle_a opinion_n of_o your_o dissimulation_n you_o can_v do_v it_o if_o you_o will_v for_o you_o

therefore_o by_o your_o own_o maxim_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o you_o to_o hold_v they_o nor_o will_v i_o now_o dispute_v those_o maxim_n it_o concern_v you_o deep_o for_o you_o must_v have_v a_o
