since_o those_o parliament_n evident_o know_v their_o king_n be_v neither_o bishop_n nor_o priest_n which_o even_o in_o their_o thought_n be_v the_o same_o as_o not_o to_o have_v power_n to_o act_n

of_o the_o oath_n can_v mean_v any_o thing_n but_o supremacy_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o whether_o in_o temporal_a or_o spiritual_a thing_n can_v be_v exercise_v but_o by_o authority_n derive_v

with_o their_o bargain_n our_o only_a question_n at_o present_a be_v concern_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n spiritual_a when_o apply_v to_o king_n which_o if_o it_o signify_v a_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a can_v never_o have_v be_v give_v he_o by_o the_o pope_n himself_o without_o create_v he_o bishop_n now_o i_o will_v ask_v upon_o this_o occasion_n whether_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v think_v fit_v to_o command_v his_o subject_n in_o sicily_n to_o take_v a_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n express_v in_o these_o word_n that_o he_o be_v supreme_a spiritual_a monarch_n or_o have_v supreme_a spiritual_a authority_n in_o that_o kingdom_n whether_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o subject_n there_o to_o refuse_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o to_o take_v it_o upon_o a_o capricious_a conceit_n ground_v on_o the_o double_a signification_n which_o the_o word_n spiritual_a supremacy_n may_v possible_o bear_v and_o thence_o take_v shadow_n that_o they_o renounce_v their_o faith_n or_o whether_o such_o a_o whimsy_n ought_v to_o excuse_v they_o i_o conceive_v no_o good_a statesman_n though_o never_o so_o good_a a_o christian_n will_v think_v he_o blameless_a you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o different_a case_n i_o add_v then_o this_o forcible_a reason_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v unanswerable_a if_o the_o word_n in_o spiritual_n or_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n or_o cause_n subjoin_v to_o supreme_a governor_n etc._n etc._n wrong_a faith_n that_o be_v if_o those_o word_n give_v the_o king_n a_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a as_o be_v fear_v and_o object_v then_o the_o word_n only_a join_v to_o supreme_a governor_n and_o alice_n to_o thing_n or_o cause_n be_v so_o ample_a and_o extensive_a must_v either_o give_v he_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a or_o none_o at_o all_o but_o all_o power_n of_o some_o other_o kind_n but_o it_o must_v cost_v we_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o common_a sense_n to_o imagine_v that_o either_o the_o oath_n maker_n shall_v intend_v to_o give_v or_o the_o king_n to_o receive_v the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a for_o than_o he_o must_v have_v power_n to_o confer_v order_n consecrate_v the_o eucharist_n absolve_v in_o confession_n which_o not_o christian_a ever_o attribute_v to_o a_o secular_a magistrate_n therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a those_o word_n do_v not_o give_v
