emperor_n /_o king_n &_o prince_n /_o with_z their_o people_n /_o aswell_o of_o the_o clergye_a as_o of_o the_o lie_v fee_n make_v the_o catholic_a church_n and_o the_o clergye_n but_o a_o part_n of_o that_o church_n than_o may_v the_o emperor_n /_o king_n &_o prince_n with_o their_o people_n expound_v it_o but_o for_o as_o moche_v as_o the_o unyversall_a catholic_a /_o people_n can_v not_o be_v gather_v together_o to_o make_v such_o exposytion_n /_o therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o king_n &_o prince_n who_o the_o people_n have_v choose_v &_o agree_v to_o be_v their_o ruler_n &_o governor_n /_o and_o which_o have_v the_o whole_a voice_n of_o the_o people_n /_o may_v with_o their_o counsel_n spirytuall_a &_o temporal_a make_v exposycyon_n of_o such_o scripture_n as_o be_v doubtful_a /_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v think_v to_o be_v the_o true_a understanding_n of_o it_o /_o and_z none_o but_o they_o /_o &_o that_o their_o subject_n be_v bind_v even_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o follow_v their_o exposytion_n for_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v such_o that_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o people_n in_o such_o doubt_n but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o troth_n so_o as_o shall_v be_v necessary_a to_o their_o saluatyon_n if_o they_o will_v dyspose_v they_o to_o it_o /_o and_z that_o be_v by_o obedience_n to_o their_o prince_n who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o have_v rule_n over_o they_o /_o as_z be_v afore_o say_v and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v /_o that_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o power_n that_o king_n and_o prince_n have_v over_o their_o subject_n the_o one_o be_v call_v /_o ius_n regale_n /_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o kynge_o governaunce_n and_o he_o that_o have_v that_o power_n may_v with_o his_o counsel_n make_v law_n to_o bind_v his_o subject_n /_o and_o also_o make_v declaration_n of_o scypture_n for_o the_o good_a order_n of_o his_o subject_n /_o as_o need_n shall_v require_v /_o for_o appease_v of_o varyance_n the_o other_o be_v call_v /_o ius_n regale_n politicum_fw-la /_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o kynglye_o and_o a_o polytyke_a governaunce_n and_o that_o be_v the_o most_o noble_a power_n that_o any_o prince_n have_v over_o his_o subject_n /_o and_z he_o that_o rule_v by_o that_o power_n /_o may_v make_v no_o law_n to_o bind_v his_o subject_n without_o their_o assent_n /_o but_z by_o their_o assent_n he_o may_v so_o that_o the_o law_n that_o he_o make_v be_v nat_n against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n /_o nor_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n and_o this_o power_n have_v the_o king_n grace_n in_o this_o realm_n where_o he_o by_o assent_n of_o his_o lord_n spirytuall_a and_o temporal_a and_o of_o his_o commons_n gather_v together_o by_o his_o commandment_n in_o his_o parlyament_fw-mi may_v make_v law_n to_o bind_v the_o people_n and_o of_o those_o lawê_n there_o need_v no_o êclamation_n /_o because_o they_o be_v make_v by_o all_o the_o people_n /_o for_o the_o êliament_n so_o gather_v together_o /_o the_o people_n represent_v the_o estate_n of_o all_o the_o people_n within_o this_o realm_n /_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o whole_a catholyque_a church_n thereof_o and_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o parlyament_n than_o which_o represent_v the_o whole_a catholyke_a church_n of_o england_n expound_v scrypture_n rather_o than_o the_o convocacyon_n which_o represent_v only_o the_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n &_o over_o that_o i_o think_v that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o pretend_v that_o at_o a_o general_a counsel_n any_o other_o shall_v be_v iuges_fw-la but_o king_n &_o prince_n &_o such_o as_o they_o will_v appoynte_v under_o they_o to_o bear_v voice_n therein_o sing_v that_o they_o have_v the_o power_n &_o voice_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n of_o christendom_n /_o which_o be_v the_o catholyque_a church_n as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o i_o think_v very_o that_o general_a counsel_n shall_v do_v lytell_fw-mi good_a till_o christian_a prince_n will_v know_v their_o own_o power_n &_o the_o auctorite_n that_o they_o have_v receyve_v of_o god_n over_o his_o people_n /_o and_o that_o they_o set_v the_o clergy_n in_o such_o power_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n without_o diminissh_v of_o it_o in_o any_o manner_n &_o to_o see_v also_o that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o but_o as_o shall_v be_v think_v expedyent_n for_o the_o comenwelth_n /_o &_o also_o for_o the_o health_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n &_o of_o the_o people_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v great_o to_o be_v doubt_v /_o that_o the_o power_n that_o bysshoppe_n of_o rome_n have_v claim_v in_o time_n pass_v over_o prince_n &_o other_o bysshoppes_n /_o have_v ben_fw-mi a_o great_a occasyon_n of_o the_o desolacyon_n of_o many_o country_n that_o now_o be_v esteem_v among_o we_o latyn_v as_o scismatyke_n &_o desperate_a person_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o the_o emperor_n and_o all_o christian_a king_n &_o prince_n &_o the_o clergy_n also_o look_v well_o upon_o the_o matter_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o seyd_a country_n be_v not_o most_o princypal_o esteem_v as_o heretic_n &_o scysmatykê_n because_o they_o go_v fro_o the_o obedience_n of_o rome_n /_o than_z for_o any_o other_o cause_n &_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o dilygence_n charity_n &_o mekenesse_n

unworthy_a the_o comfort_n of_o christê_n passion_n that_o so_o will_v fall_v fro_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o heed_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o yet_o undouted_o the_o saluatyon_n or_o damnation_n of_o christian_a man_n stand_v not_o in_o that_o point_n /_o whether_o rome_n be_v the_o head_n of_o christes_fw-fr church_n or_o nat_n and_o i_o mean_v all_o this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o

thereupon_o though_o all_o the_o bysshop_n of_o the_o est_fw-fr ête_n &_o the_o chief_a prelate_n of_o other_o nation_n use_v no_o ringê_n mitre_n ne_o bishop_n staff_n yet_o say_v he_o that_o these_o
