exclude_v foreign_a prince_n person_n prelate_n state_n &_o potentate_n only_o from_o ecclesiastical_a or_o spiritual_a authority_n but_o the_o former_a affirmative_a exclude_v they_o from_o authority_n in_o all_o thing_n or_o cause_n both_o temporal_a &_o spiritual_a again_o you_o see_v that_o the_o negative_a clause_n extend_v only_o to_o foreign_a person_n but_o the_o affirmative_a clause_n extend_v to_o any_o person_n whosoever_o whether_o foreign_a or_o domestical_a three_o the_o negative_a clause_n exclude_v foreign_a person_n from_o have_v any_o jurisdiction_n power_n

that_o realm_n in_o particular_a but_o general_o to_o all_o his_o majesty_n realm_n dominion_n &_o country_n so_o that_o the_o former_a affirmative_a clause_n in_o the_o oath_n appear_v to_o be_v much_o more_o general_a and_o of_o a_o far_o large_a extent_n than_o the_o negative_a be_v and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v i_o speak_v true_o and_o within_o compass_n when_o i_o say_v though_o in_o a_o
