those_o ceremony_n to_o be_v brief_a the_o first_o catholic_n church_n do_v acknowledge_v none_o to_o be_v her_o universal_a head_n but_o christ_n i●sus_n only_o and_o she_o submit_v herself_o to_o

law_n but_o your_o romish_a catholic_n church_n must_v have_v a_o pope_n to_o be_v her_o universal_a head_n under_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n vicar_n general_a and_o he_o must_v have_v absolute_a power_n upon_o earth_n dirive_v from_o the_o apostle_n peter_n that_o never_o take_v upon_o himself_o any_o such_o power_n but_o will_v all_o christian_n to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o all_o estate_n

the_o like_a yea_o he_o must_v have_v power_n to_o depose_v all_o such_o prince_n as_o will_v not_o bow_v to_o he_o and_o be_v his_o executioner_n in_o execute_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n upon_o all_o such_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o take_v for_o heretic_n such_o prince_n do_v your_o pope_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o depose_v &_o to_o deprive_v they_o of_o all_o princely_a dignity_n &_o to_o set_v

yea_o &_o as_o late_o and_o daily_a practice_n do_v teach_v they_o spare_v not_o to_o promise_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o such_o subject_n as_o will_n most_o undutiful_o &_o most_o unnatural_o

as_o you_o have_v say_v before_o to_o this_o i_o say_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o learned_a protestant_n that_o neither_o the_o catholic_a church_n nor_o any_o other_o congregation_n have_v be_v

have_v reserve_v a_o remnant_n of_o the_o jew_n with_o who_o those_o scripture_n be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v have_v in_o such_o estimation_n and_o reverence_n that_o they_o will_v never_o leave_v they_o to_o any_o that_o will_v corrupt_v they_o and_o this_o have_v god_n wrought_v by_o they_o use_v they_o as_o his_o instrument_n therein_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o grecian_n have_v be_v his_o

of_o the_o first_o bloody_a persecution_n which_o continue_v for_o the_o space_n of_o 294._o year_n almost_o continual_o why_o may_v she_o not_o have_v so_o many_o of_o those_o minister_n as_o be_v

that_o thereby_o we_o may_v prove_v our_o church_n to_o be_v catholic_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o history_n that_o the_o right_a catholic_a church_n have_v seldom_o have_v such_o freedom_n
