alienate_v the_o same_o from_o his_o own_o crown_n and_o dignity_n to_o any_o spiritual_a potentate_n or_o ruler_n whatsoever_o within_o or_o without_o his_o dominion_n 4._o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n of_o this_o realm_n be_v no_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o very_a infidel_n yea_o and_o persecutor_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o yet_o those_o church_n that_o shall_v be_v gather_v together_o within_o these_o dominion_n aught_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o yield_v the_o say_a supremacy_n unto_o they_o and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o their_o faith_n and_o christianity_n but_o to_o their_o very_a crown_n from_o which_o no_o subject_n or_o subject_n have_v power_n to_o separate_v or_o disjoin_a it_o 5._o we_o hold_v that_o neither_o king_n nor_o civil_a state_n be_v bind_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o any_o ecclesiastical_a person_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o no_o further_o than_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o convince_v their_o conscience_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o we_o think_v they_o shall_v sin_v against_o god_n if_o they_o shall_v ground_v their_o religion_n or_o any_o part_n or_o parcel_n thereof_o upon_o the_o bare_a testimony_n or_o judgement_n of_o any_o man_n or_o of_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n 6._o we_o hold_v that_o no_o church_n or_o church-officer_n have_v power_n for_o any_o crime_n whatsoever_o to_o deprive_v the_o king_n of_o the_o least_o of_o his_o royal_a prerogative_n whatsoever_o much_o less_o to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o supremacy_n wherein_o the_o height_n of_o his_o royal_a dignity_n consist_v 7._o we_o hold_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n concern_v this_o life_n whatsoever_o the_o civil_a jurisdiction_n of_o king_n and_o civil_a state_n excel_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n over_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a neither_o have_v nor_o aught_o to_o have_v

hold_v that_o king_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o supremacy_n have_v power_n yea_o also_o that_o they_o stand_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o make_v law_n ecclesiastical_a such_o as_o shall_v tend_v to_o the_o good_a order_n of_o the_o church_n in_o their_o dominion_n and_o that_o the_o church_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v disobedient_a to_o any_o of_o their_o law_n so_o far_o as_o in_o obedience_n unto_o they_o they_o do_v not_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 9_o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n shall_v command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n unto_o the_o church_n that_o yet_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o resist_v he_o therein_o but_o only_o peaceable_o to_o forbear_v obedience_n and_o sue_v unto_o he_o for_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o where_o that_o can_v be_v obtain_v meek_o to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o punishment_n 10._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v power_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o supremacy_n to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n whatsoever_o he_o shall_v discern_v to_o be_v practise_v â—herein_o not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v see_v any_o defect_n either_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n he_o ought_v by_o his_o royal_a authority_n and_o power_n to_o procure_v and_o force_v the_o redress_n thereof_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v without_o the_o consent_n and_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n themselves_o 11._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n over_o the_o body_n good_n and_o affair_n of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n as_o of_o any_o other_o of_o his_o subject_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o by_o his_o authority_n he_o may_v force_v they_o not_o only_o to_o all_o civil_a duty_n belong_v unto_o they_o but_o also_o unto_o all_o ecclesiastical_a afflict_v as_o great_a punishment_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o neglect_n thereof_o as_o upon_o any_o other_o of_o his_o subject_n 12._o we_o hold_v that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n all_o scandalous_a schismatical_a and_o heretical_a teacher_n and_o by_o all_o due_a severity_n oâ—_n law_n to_o repress_v they_o 13._o we_o hold_v that_o all_o ecclesiastical_a law_n make_v by_o the_o king_n not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o no_o subject_a aught_o to_o refuse_v obedience_n to_o any_o such_o law_n 14._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n only_o have_v power_n within_o his_o dominion_n to_o convene_v synod_n and_o general_n assemly_v of_o minister_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n royal_a to_o ratify_v and_o give_v life_n and_o strength_n to_o their_o canon_n and_o constitution_n without_o who_o ratification_n no_o man_n can_v force_v any_o subject_a to_o yield_v any_o obedience_n unto_o the_o same_o 15._o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n may_v force_v the_o church_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n yet_o that_o the_o church_n several_o or_o joint_o have_v no_o power_n to_o force_v he_o or_o any_o subject_n against_o their_o will_n to_o any_o service_n unto_o they_o or_o to_o any_o religious_a duty_n whatsoever_o no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o to_o â—e_v a_o member_n of_o
