face_n of_o his_o own_o father_n but_o grant_v say_v he_o they_o do_v subscribe_v to_o the_o censure_n do_v they_o swear_v to_o what_o they_o subscribe_v again_o where_o be_v old_a honesty_n will_v

for_o rome_n and_o another_o for_o paris_n they_o at_o rome_n profess_v it_o to_o stand_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o they_o at_o paris_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o

those_o man_n of_o your_o society_n who_o book_n be_v burn_v in_o paris_n for_o teach_v the_o depose_n doctrine_n do_v restrain_v the_o pope_n power_n of_o depose_v to_o the_o case_n of_o heresy_n

who_o have_v for_o warrant_n of_o his_o honesty_n a_o moral_a certainty_n whatever_o the_o truth_n in_o itself_o may_v possible_o be_v be_v not_o this_o to_o play_v at_o blind-buff_n and_o contradict_v himself_o at_o the_o wind_a up_o of_o his_o catechism_n he_o propound_v to_o himself_o a_o question_n of_o all_o hitherto_o it_o may_v be_v the_o most_o important_a it_o be_v thus_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v say_v he_o that_o the_o pope_n declaration_n bind_v to_o a_o compliance_n in_o not_o take_v the_o oath_n even_o with_o the_o loss_n of_o liberty_n life_n and_o fortune_n see_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o oblige_v with_o so_o much_o rigour_n and_o he_o answer_v himself_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v because_o say_v he_o the_o law_n of_o god_n oblige_v i_o not_o to_o take_v a_o unlawful_a oath_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v indispensable_a now_o the_o pope_n declare_v my_o obligation_n of_o not_o take_v the_o oath_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n law_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v indispensable_a on_o the_o contrary_a the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n be_v dispensable_a and_o oblige_v not_o to_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o life_n and_o fortune_n the_o question_n put_v i_o confess_v be_v clear_a and_o easy_a but_o in_o his_o answer_n he_o confound_v himself_o though_o from_o both_o i_o conclude_v his_o sense_n must_v be_v thus_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v not_o therefore_o indispensable_a because_o it_o be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o pope_n for_o that_o will_v not_o oblige_v we_o with_o the_o hazard_n of_o life_n and_o fortune_n but_o because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n antecedent_n to_o the_o pope_n prohibition_n and_o the_o pope_n now_o as_o god_n vicar_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o consequent_o it_o be_v indispensable_a this_o i_o say_v must_v be_v his_o sense_n if_o he_o have_v any_o for_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n oblige_v we_o not_o to_o take_v a_o unlawful_a oath_n the_o question_n return_v what_o make_v a_o oath_n unlawful_a if_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n prohibition_n only_o that_o be_v dispensable_a if_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n antecedent_n to_o the_o pope_n prohibition_n it_o be_v therefore_o indispensable_a this_o be_v so_o i_o ask_v whether_o this_o prohibition_n or_o declaration_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o definition_n of_o faith_n or_o no_o if_o it_o be_v where_o be_v the_o thing_n define_v without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o definition_n beside_o be_v not_o every_o man_n free_a to_o maintain_v any_o one_o clause_n or_o proposition_n of_o the_o oath_n without_o do_v the_o least_o injury_n to_o the_o pope_n prohibition_n or_o declaration_n for_o whoever_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n prohibition_n fall_v upon_o any_o particular_a clause_n be_v too_o rash_a as_o not_o have_v any_o warrant_n from_o the_o pope_n for_o his_o bold_a assertion_n since_o then_o every_o part_n of_o the_o oath_n may_v separately_z be_v maintain_v without_o infringe_v the_o pope_n prohibition_n how_o can_v the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v a_o definition_n of_o faith_n clear_o then_o the_o pope_n declaration_n by_o his_o breves_fw-la be_v bottom_v upon_o his_o own_o private_a opinion_n unto_o which_o though_o all_o due_a respect_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v yet_o why_o it_o shall_v oblige_v the_o catholic_n of_o england_n with_o the_o loss_n of_o liberty_n fortune_n and_o life_n since_o he_o own_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o i_o expect_v to_o be_v instruct_v by_o another_o

but_o if_o he_o will_v he_o must_v pardon_v other_o who_o be_v not_o of_o his_o mind_n to_o convince_v he_o that_o some_o breves_fw-la of_o pope_n may_v pass_v un-obeyed_a i_o instance_a in_o
