foot_n a_o table-foot_n or_o mountain-foot_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o those_o word_n have_v the_o former_a sense_n before_o christianity_n and_o the_o power_n belong_v to_o its_o

concern_v other_o religion_n then_o on_o foot_n from_o which_o they_o may_v be_v borrow_v and_o apply_v to_o christianity_n because_o even_o at_o their_o first_o application_n to_o religion_n they_o

and_o so_o more_o common_o or_o often_o apply_v to_o they_o than_o to_o these_o hence_o this_o be_v also_o the_o most_o proper_a sense_n because_o this_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o first_o sense_n especial_o if_o the_o first_o be_v most_o common_o use_v 5._o again_o be_v these_o word_n in_o a_o treatise_n of_o military-discipline_n every_o one_o will_v be_v as_o much_o as_o two_o for_o

concern_v confession_n will_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n be_v the_o same_o as_o no_o jurisdiction_n to_o absolve_v from_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n these_o word_n in_o a_o treatise_n of_o civil_a matter_n as_o law_n be_v ought_v to_o be_v understand_v so_o that_o no_o jurisdiction_n be_v as_o much_o as_o no_o civil_a jurisdiction_n insomuch_o that_o as_o it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o think_v that_o jurisdiction_n in_o a_o military_a or_o confession-book_n mean_v not_o military_a or_o sacramental_a jurisdiction_n so_o it_o will_v be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o this_o word_n jurisdiction_n in_o a_o law-book_n mean_v any_o thing_n but_o civil_a except_o there_o be_v something_o to_o determine_v it_o to_o another_o sense_n 6._o out_o of_o this_o may_v be_v see_v that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o word_n power_n jurisdiction_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o the_o oath_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o law-book_n and_o be_v part_n of_o a_o law_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o former_a sense_n than_o late_a so_o that_o no_o jurisdiction_n be_v the_o same_o as_o these_o three_o word_n no_o civil_a jurisdiction_n in_o which_o sense_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o pope_n or_o other_o foreign_a prelate_n not_o pure_o pastoral_a or_o pure_o spiritual_a ministerial_a and_o supernatural_a power_n of_o the_o key_n which_o only_o regard_v the_o inner-court_n of_o conscience_n but_o that_o ecclesiastical_a otherwise_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n true_o temporal_a and_o political_a authority_n in_o the_o external_n court_n which_o the_o pope_n either_o have_v or_o usurp_v or_o prescribe_v or_o challenge_v here_o in_o england_n be_v exclude_v i_o say_v in_o case_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o oath_n or_o its_o act_n to_o determine_v they_o to_o another_o sense_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o determine_v they_o to_o this_o late_a sense_n than_o as_o i_o say_v they_o must_v have_v the_o former_a as_o the_o word_n no_o man_n at_o all_o be_v at_o home_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o no_o live_a man_n at_o all_o be_v at_o home_n except_o they_o be_v by_o some_o word_n or_o circumstance_n determine_v to_o signify_v no_o carve_v or_o paint_v man._n 7._o that_o then_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o determine_v they_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n to_o be_v prove_v and_o first_o that_o the_o word_n spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastical_a do_v not_o determine_v they_o we_o have_v already_o see_v because_o these_o word_n in_o law-language_n and_o law-book_n where_o they_o at_o present_a be_v find_v signify_v what_o be_v external_n political_n and_o civil_a and_o so_o these_o word_n determine_v they_o rather_o to_o their_o law-sense_n than_o draw_v they_o from_o it_o especial_o since_o this_o negative_a will_v not_o bear_v a_o coherent-sense_n with_o the_o affirmative_a except_o no_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n be_v the_o same_o as_o no_o civil_a or_o royal_a jurisdiction_n for_o to_o say_v in_o the_o affirmative_a that_o the_o queen_n have_v all_o royal_a jurisdiction_n or_o royal_a jurisdiction_n in_o all_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o very_a same_o and_o in_o the_o negative_a that_o no_o body_n else_o have_v any_o royal_a jurisdiction_n be_v coherent_a sense_n but_o to_o say_v that_o she_o have_v all_o royal_a power_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o no_o body_n else_o have_v any_o pure_o spiritual_a and_o supernatural_a power_n of_o the_o key_n or_o sword_n or_o that_o she_o be_v queen_n and_o no_o body_n else_o be_v a_o preacher_n be_v very_o incoherent_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o yet_o this_o must_v be_v the_o sense_n in_o case_n the_o word_n no_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n be_v the_o same_o as_o no_o sacerdotal_a or_o the_o same_o as_o both_o no_o royal_a and_o no_o pastoral_n as_o some_o do_v fancy_n 8._o and_o as_o the_o word_n spiritual_a and_o ecclesiastical_a and_o the_o coherency_n of_o sense_n which_o we_o must_v admit_v except_o we_o be_v such_o wise_a commentator_n as_o to_o make_v our_o text_n speak_v nonsense_n do_v determine_v the_o word_n power_n etc._n etc._n to_o signify_v royal_a power_n so_o do_v the_o whole_a design_n aim_v at_o as_o to_o be_v bring_v about_o by_o the_o hold_n of_o the_o affirmative_a and_o negative_a sense_n of_o the_o oath_n for_o this_o as_o appear_v in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v faith_n and_o

her_o dominion_n now_o that_o royal_a be_v no_o more_o than_o human_a every_o body_n that_o understand_v both_o these_o word_n know_v next_o come_v the_o act_n itself_o in_o all_o its_o particular_n do_v what_o the_o title_n speak_v and_o no_o more_o for_o first_o for_o conservation_n of_o the_o queen_n and_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o to_o avoid_v several_a mischief_n proceed_v

the_o queen_n admonition_n give_v the_o oath_n shall_v be_v its_o sense_n and_o that_o this_o give_v she_o only_o a_o regal_a power_n we_o shall_v here_o after_o clear_o see_v three_o and_o as_o to_o our_o purpose_n last_o it_o make_v a_o proviso_n to_o exempt_v the_o temporal_a lord_n from_o this_o oath_n and_o any_o thing_n contain_v in_o this_o act._n and_o why_o do_v it_o do_v this_o it_o

the_o oath_n say_v not_o bare_o that_o she_o be_v the_o supreme_a governor_n in_o all_o cause_n spiritual_a and_o ecclesiastical_a where_o supreme_a governor_n may_v possible_o be_v in_o sense_n the_o same_o as_o supreme_a preacher_n but_o express_o that_o she_o be_v the_o supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o realm_n in_o all_o such_o cause_n and_o since_o supreme_a governor_n of_o a_o realm_n be_v in_o common_a and_o indeed_o all_o speech_n the_o same_o exact_o as_o temporal_a governor_n the_o oath_n only_o say_v that_o she_o be_v the_o supreme_a temporal_a governor_n in_o all_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o it_o will_v be_v treason_n to_o deny_v she_o not_o only_o in_o all_o those_o spiritual_a and_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n of_o which_o only_o we_o have_v show_v the_o oath_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o those_o word_n as_o they_o be_v use_v in_o law_n but_o also_o in_o the_o most_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v as_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o trinity_n incarnation_n and_o the_o like_a for_o she_o be_v by_o her_o office_n the_o temporal_a rewarder_n of_o this_o virtue_n and_o punisher_n of_o i●s_n contrary_a vice_n which_o be_v to_o be_v a_o temporal_a governor_n as_o to_o this_o virtue_n and_o vice_n 15._o four_o because_o she_o say_v express_o in_o her_o admonition_n in_o which_o she_o call_v it_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o not_o religion_n and_o allegiance_n thereby_o show_v that_o she_o require_v no_o more_o than_o allegiance_n by_o it_o except_o we_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o oath_n of_o more_o than_o she_o say_v it_o be_v who_o best_o understand_v it_o that_o she_o take_v only_o what_o k._n h._n 8_o and_o k._n ed._n 6_o take_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o act_n which_o she_o like_v and_o revive_v and_o not_o in_o
