A16170	A courteous conference with the English Catholikes Romane about the six articles ministred vnto the seminarie priestes, wherein it is apparantly proued by their owne diuinitie, and the principles of their owne religion, that the Pope cannot depose her Maiestie, or release her subiectes of their alleageance vnto her. And finally, that the bull of Pius Quiutus [sic] pronounced against her Maiestie is of no force eyther in lawe or conscience, all Catholicke scruples to the contrarie beeing throughly and perfectly cleared and resolued, and many memoriall matters exactly discussed, which haue not beene handled by man heeretofore. Written by Iohn Bishop a recusant papist.	Bishop, John, d. 1613.; Frewen, John, 1558-1628.	1598 (1598)	STC 3092; ESTC S102284	61,282	90

it_o force_v but_o little_a what_o the_o temporal_a law_n will_v in_o it_o as_o i_o seem_v whereunto_o the_o author_n answer_v thus_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o student_n of_o law_n in_o such_o country_n where_o the_o pope_n have_v power_n to_o determine_v the_o right_n of_o temporal_a thing_n i_o think_v it_o be_v as_o thou_o say_v but_o in_o this_o realm_n it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o the_o right_n of_o presentment_n be_v a_o temporal_a thing_n and_o a_o temporal_a inheritance_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v it_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n law_n to_o determine_v and_o also_o to_o make_v law_n who_o shall_v present_v after_o the_o six_o month_n aswell_o as_o before_o so_o that_o the_o title_n of_o ability_n or_o none_o ability_n be_v not_o therefore_o take_v from_o the_o

void_v and_o when_o not_o and_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n and_o shall_v the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n determine_v when_o the_o crown_n be_v void_a as_o when_o a_o parson_n be_v make_v a_o bishop_n or_o accept_v another_o benefice_n without_o licence_n or_o resign_v or_o be_v deprive_v in_o these_o cause_v the_o common_a law_n say_v that_o the_o benefice_n be_v void_a and_o so_o they_o shall_v be_v though_o the_o church_n have_v make_v a_o law_n to_o the_o contrary_n and_o so_o if_o the_o pope_n shall_v have_v any_o title_n in_o this_o case_n to_o present_v it_o shall_v
