which_o be_v most_o dear_a unto_o i_o yet_o by_o this_o it_o may_v easy_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o evident_a as_o widdrington_n will_v make_v it_o that_o this_o oath_n may_v be_v take_v with_o such_o a_o assure_a asseveration_n and_o in_o those_o so_o general_a term_n victoria_n have_v allege_v so_o many_o title_n of_o just_a war_n which_o make_v this_o clause_n at_o least_o

the_o common_a wealth_n can_v depose_v a_o prince_n but_o only_o be_v aver_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v either_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o the_o common_a wealth_n or_o any_o other_o mean_n and_o say_v he_o if_o the_o pope_n can_v by_o himself_o neither_o can_v he_o by_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o this_o as_o he_o think_v he_o convince_v by_o example_n for_o say_v he_o as_o a_o stone_n neither_o with_o a_o man_n neither_o by_o a_o man_n have_v power_n to_o understand_v and_o disoourse_n and_o neither_o by_o the_o common_a wealth_n nor_o with_o the_o common_a wealth_n can_v depose_v a_o prince_n because_o it_o have_v no_o power_n of_o itself_o to_o discourse_n or_o depose_v so_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o pope_n of_o himself_o have_v no_o power_n to_o depose_v a_o prince_n he_o can_v by_o the_o common_a wealth_n depose_v he_o though_o otherwife_n the_o common_a wealth_n can_v and_o although_o say_v widdrington_n these_o example_n be_v not_o like_a in_o all_o point_n because_o the_o stone_n be_v not_o capable_a at_o all_o of_o discourse_v or_o depose_n the_o pope_n be_v at_o least_o capable_a of_o authority_n to_o depose_v prince_n if_o god_n will_v give_v it_o he_o yet_o say_v he_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o pope_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la have_v no_o power_n to_o depose_v than_o a_o good_a argument_n may_v be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o similitude_n for_o as_o the_o stone_n can_v by_o man_n or_o with_o a_o man_n discourse_n or_o depose_v king_n because_o it_o have_v no_o power_n of_o itself_o so_o to_o do_v so_o if_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o depose_v prince_n as_o widdrington_n suppose_v it_o can_v be_v or_o be_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v he_o can_v de_fw-la facto_fw-la by_o the_o common_a wealth_n depose_v 33._o but_o i_o shall_v make_v widdrington_n to_o see_v by_o other_o example_n and_o reason_n also_o how_o little_a these_o his_o example_n avail_v for_o suppose_v the_o pope_n can_v not_o depose_v a_o prince_n by_o himself_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v he_o can_v yet_o he_o may_v do_v it_o by_o a_o temporal_a prince_n or_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o that_o also_o in_o widdringtons_n opinion_n this_o i_o prove_v first_o by_o example_n for_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o philosopher_n who_o say_v that_o no_o substance_n be_v immediate_o operative_a or_o active_a the_o substance_n or_o substantial_a form_n of_o fire_n can_v not_o produce_v fire_n immediate_o by_o itself_o and_o yet_o it_o can_v per_fw-la calorem_fw-la &_o siccitatem_fw-la by_o heat_n and_o siccity_n which_o be_v the_o fire_n instrument_n and_o active_a virtue_n and_o so_o we_o say_v not_o only_o that_o heat_n produce_v heat_n but_o also_o that_o fire_n produce_v heat_n though_o not_o immediate_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o foresay_a quality_n so_o the_o sun_n engender_v metal_n and_o mineral_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o produce_v as_o a_o universal_a cause_n plant_n and_o herb_n and_o yet_o not_o by_o his_o immediate_a substance_n but_o by_o mediation_n of_o his_o light_n and_o influence_n so_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v cause_n of_o walk_v speaking_z and_o other_o external_a operation_n yet_o not_o by_o herself_o immediate_o but_o by_o mediation_n of_o other_o faculty_n which_o be_v dependent_a on_o she_o so_o a_o prince_n that_o have_v neither_o hand_n nor_o foot_n or_o if_o he_o have_v shall_v use_v neither_o and_o so_o can_v not_o kill_v his_o enemy_n yet_o may_v he_o do_v it_o by_o his_o captain_n if_o he_o shall_v command_v he_o and_o if_o at_o his_o command_n the_o captain_n shall_v kill_v the_o prince_n also_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o have_v kill_v yea_o &_o to_o have_v be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o murder_n though_o immediate_o he_o either_o can_v not_o or_o do_v not_o strike_v any_o stroke_n wherefore_o widdrington_n may_v have_v call_v to_o mind_n that_o many_o time_n a_o agent_n may_v work_v a_o effect_n by_o another_o which_o it_o can_v not_o by_o itself_o immediate_o if_o the_o other_o cause_n which_o it_o use_v be_v
