that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a be_v so_o manifest_a that_o it_o need_v no_o poof_n prince_n therefore_o in_o the_o old_a testamant_n be_v call_v head_n of_o the_o tribe_n or_o of_o the_o people_n

minister_n he_o may_v not_o preach_v nor_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n nor_o execute_v church-censurs_a this_o be_v the_o presumption_n of_o uzzias_n and_o therefore_o be_v just_o punish_v and_o

we_o find_v that_o prince_n have_v execute_v their_o authority_n over_o churchman_n example_n whereof_o we_o have_v in_o the_o word_n as_o david_n appoint_v the_o order_n and_o office_n of_o the_o
