these_o two_o thing_n only_o seem_v necessary_a to_o be_v subjoin_v that_o we_o may_v give_v christian_a prince_n the_o whole_a of_o what_o be_v due_a to_o they_o 1._o that_o it_o belong_v to_o

that_o though_o in_o thing_n dubious_a or_o not_o at_o all_o determine_v by_o council_n the_o prince_n be_v to_o expect_v the_o decision_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o

of_o it_o so_o where_o the_o thing_n have_v be_v general_o define_v little_a doubt_n can_v be_v make_v of_o prince_n pass_v what_o be_v so_o into_o a_o law_n partly_o because_o it_o have_v be_v in_o

require_v a_o present_a definition_n or_o be_v not_o of_o such_o moment_n to_o require_v the_o call_n of_o the_o bishop_n from_o their_o several_a charge_n with_o the_o far_o great_a detriment_n of_o the_o church_n over_o which_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o preside_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v that_o those_o prince_n shall_v best_o provide_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n who_o shall_v not_o ordinary_o determine_v of_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n or_o at_o least_o of_o some_o of_o the_o principal_a bishop_n of_o it_o so_o we_o can_v never_o sufficient_o commend_v the_o institution_n of_o this_o kingdom_n whereas_o in_o the_o parliament_n the_o place_n where_o all_o law_n be_v frame_v the_o bishop_n have_v the_o principal_a place_n so_o the_o command_n of_o king_n and_o parliament_n in_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n follow_v the_o canon_n deree_v by_o

this_o discourse_n with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n because_o exact_o according_a with_o what_o i_o have_v before_o deliver_v for_o as_o the_o 20_o of_o those_o article_n declare_v the_o church_n to_o have_v power_n to_o decree_v rite_n or_o ceremony_n and_o authority_n in_o controversy_n of_o faith_n so_o the_o 37th_o not_o only_o exclude_v from_o prince_n the_o minister_a either_o of_o god_n word_n or_o of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o make_v their_o supremacy_n to_o consist_v in_o rule_v all_o estate_n and_o degree_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n by_o

the_o only_a thing_n of_o difficulty_n be_v whether_o that_o submission_n be_v necessary_a where_o the_o power_n of_o coercion_n be_v use_v against_o those_o who_o seem_v to_o themselves_o and_o it_o may_v be_v not_o without_o reason_n to_o have_v do_v nothing_o to_o deserve_v it_o for_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n be_v commit_v to_o prince_n for_o the_o avenge_a of_o such_o

the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v david_n own_o act_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o displease_v god_n and_o for_o which_o he_o smite_v israel_n for_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o in_o express_a term_n that_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o this_o thing_n even_o with_o the_o word_n and_o command_n of_o david_n for_o the_o

involve_v the_o innocent_a child_n of_o the_o sodomite_n in_o the_o same_o calamity_n with_o their_o parent_n and_o in_o fine_a all_o national_a calamity_n wherein_o experience_n show_v good_a man_n have_v no_o less_o suffer_v than_o those_o who_o be_v the_o procurer_n of_o they_o but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o only_o affirm_v that_o god_n will_v visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n but_o that_o he_o will_v also_o visit_v it_o to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n therefore_o inquire_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o appearance_n there_o be_v of_o god_n extend_v it_o either_o to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o now_o though_o this_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v make_v appear_v nor_o indeed_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o be_v partly_o because_o god_n never_o so_o threaten_v to_o visit_v but_o he_o leave_v himself_o a_o liberty_n to_o suspend_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o as_o the_o repentance_n of_o the_o child_n or_o some_o
