at_o padua_n give_v his_o consent_n 3_o this_o be_v widdrington_n first_o answer_n wherein_o you_o see_v he_o rely_v special_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o joannes_n parisiensis_fw-la who_o ground_v his_o opinion_n upon_o hostiensis_n allege_v he_o to_o no_o purpose_n at_o all_o partly_o for_o that_o no_o such_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o hostiensis_n in_o the_o place_n which_o he_o

the_o pope_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o temporal_a thing_n 4_o but_o first_o where_o do_v mr._n fitzherbert_n find_v joannes_n parisiensis_fw-la to_o say_v that_o hostiensis_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o temporal_a thing_n for_o that_o which_o parisiensis_fw-la say_v be_v only_o this_o that_o hostiensis_n give_v this_o answer_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o temporal_a thing_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o he_o to_o make_v general_a decree_n concern_v the_o confiscation_n of_o good_n and_o that_o this_o decree_n be_v make_v with_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o emperor_n who_o be_v then_o present_a at_o padua_n and_o give_v his_o consent_n thereto_o but_o whether_o hostiensis_n give_v this_o answer_n according_a to_o his_o own_o opinion_n or_o of_o other_o lawyer_n who_o he_o do_v not_o condemn_v joannes_n parisiensis_fw-la neither_o affirm_v nor_o deni_v but_o only_o say_v that_o hostiensis_n give_v this_o answer_n which_o be_v very_o true_a but_o these_o be_v usual_a trick_n of_o mr._n fitzherbert_n as_o you_o have_v often_o see_v above_o to_o misconstrue_v the_o word_n and_o meaning_n of_o his_o adversary_n thereby_o to_o make_v some_o colourable_a show_n of_o a_o probable_a answer_n wherefore_o although_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o hostiensis_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o pope_n may_v upon_o just_a cause_n dispose_v of_o the_o dominion_n of_o all_o christian_a prince_n and_o of_o all_o temporal_a thing_n for_o that_o he_o express_o teach_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o only_o a_o spiritual_a but_o also_o a_o temporal_a monarch_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o have_v direct_a dominion_n over_o all_o temporal_a state_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v hostiensis_n to_o be_v so_o peremptory_a in_o his_o opinion_n as_o to_o condemn_v the_o contrary_a doctrine_n of_o heresy_n or_o of_o absurd_a and_o temerarious_a improbabilitie_n as_o all_o my_o adversary_n not_o without_o great_a temeritie_n now_o usallly_n do_v 5_o second_o therefore_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o hostiensis_n upon_o the_o aforesaid_a chapter_n ad_fw-la abolendam_fw-la give_v also_o that_o answer_n whereof_o joannes_n parisiensis_fw-la make_v mention_v and_o do_v not_o reject_v it_o as_o improbable_a in_o which_o sense_v parisiensis_fw-la do_v call_v it_o hostiensis_n his_o answer_n and_o this_o answer_n mr._n fitzherbert_n may_v have_v easy_o find_v in_o the_o foresay_a place_n if_o he_o have_v not_o rely_v upon_o fa._n lessius_fw-la word_n who_o

royal_a right_n and_o authority_n and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a question_n betwixt_o my_o adversary_n and_o i_o the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v power_n to_o declare_v and_o interpret_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o to_o compel_v by_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n all_o the_o faithful_a to_o observe_v the_o same_o and_o in_o this_o i_o agree_v with_o parisiensis_fw-la save_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a controversy_n betwixt_o the_o divine_n of_o rome_n and_o paris_n what_o thing_n be_v require_v to_o make_v the_o pope_n definition_n declaration_n or_o interpretation_n to_o be_v certain_a and_o infallible_a as_o also_o inferior_a bishop_n have_v authority_n to_o declare_v and_o interpret_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o to_o compel_v their_o spiritual_a subject_n to_o
