with_o his_o royal_a edict_n we_o have_v already_o see_v it_o we_o have_v view_v the_o very_a word_n it_o be_v prove_v most_o manifest_o now_o let_v we_o due_o ponder_v and_o thorough_o understand_v what_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v infer_v hereupon_o s._n austin_n affirm_v constant_o well_o that_o when_o king_n serve_v god_n as_o king_n then_o do_v they_o that_o which_o none_o but_o king_n can_v do_v but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o reccaredus_n and_o the_o other_o king_n both_o call_v &_o confirm_a counsel_n as_o they_o be_v king_n for_o it_o be_v already_o prove_v ergo_fw-la king_n and_o none_o but_o king_n can_v call_v and_o confirm_v holy_a counsel_n and_o sacred_a synod_n the_o reason_n be_v s._n austin_n when_o he_o resolute_o avouch_v that_o while_o king_n serve_v god_n as_o king_n they_o do_v that_o which_o none_o but_o king_n can_v do_v for_o if_o king_n as_o king_n call_v and_o confirm_v counsel_n none_o doubtless_o which_o be_v no_o king_n can_v do_v the_o same_o and_o consequent_o no_o bishop_n no_o not_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n have_v authority_n to_o gather_v counsel_n or_o to_o confirm_v the_o same_o two_o thing_n only_o the_o pope_n may_v in_o show_n of_o word_n seem_v to_o object_v for_o himself_o objection_n 1_o the_o one_o that_o king_n do_v not_o call_v or_o confirm_v counsel_n as_o they_o be_v king_n but_o rather_o as_o the_o servant_n or_o deputy_n of_o the_o pope_n objection_n 2_o the_o other_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o only_o a_o bishop_n but_o a_o king_n also_o to_o
the_o former_a objection_n this_o be_v my_o answer_n response_n 1_o first_o that_o king_n of_o late_a year_n word_n be_v in_o deed_n so_o bring_v into_o thraldom_n by_o the_o pope_n where_o popery_n bear_v the_o sway_n as_o they_o may_v true_o be_v say_v to_o do_v the_o office_n not_o of_o king_n as_o king_n but_o rather_o of_o servant_n and_o slave_n to_o the_o disholy_a father_n the_o pope_n of_o rome_n response_n 2_o second_o that_o the_o pope_n will_v not_o this_o day_n permit_v king_n to_o make_v law_n in_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n but_o only_o to_o execute_v those_o unchristian_a execrable_a &_o tyrannical_a law_n which_o by_o pope_n of_o late_a year_n be_v with_o fire_n and_o faggot_n frame_v to_o their_o hand_n to_o the_o latter_a i_o answer_v in_o this_o manner_n first_o that_o how_o and_o in_o what_o sort_n the_o pope_n be_v king_n it_o be_v plenteous_o prove_v in_o the_o ten_o conclusion_n of_o this_o present_a chapter_n to_o which_o place_n i_o refer_v the_o reader_n for_o his_o full_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o behalf_n second_o that_o by_o the_o pope_n own_o law_n whosoever_o be_v possessor_n malae_fw-la fidei_fw-la in_o the_o beginning_n can_v have_v no_o just_a title_n by_o prescription_n in_o the_o end_n three_o that_o if_o we_o suppose_v and_o grant_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o lawful_a king_n of_o italy_n yet_o can_v no_o more_o be_v right_o infer_v thereupon_o save_v only_o that_o he_o can_v call_v and_o confirm_v counsel_n within_o italy_n and_o make_v law_n to_o his_o subject_n of_o the_o same_o kingdom_n in_o which_o case_n i_o for_o my_o part_n will_v not_o contend_v with_o he_o as_o who_o only_o deny_v his_o usurp_a authority_n in_o other_o transmarine_a and_o foreign_a kingdom_n now_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o friar_n once_o again_o to_o recreate_v our_o spirit_n with_o his_o merry_a conceit_n b._n c._n sure_o it_o be_v me●re_a madness_n to_o think_v that_o anatolius_n will_v every_o way_n have_v have_v equal_a authority_n in_o all_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n as_o the_o minister_n affirm_v see_v then_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o he_o desire_v jurisdiction_n in_o italy_n and_o rome_n itself_o nay_o what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o to_o condemn_v anatolius_n of_o gross_a foolery_n in_o sue_v for_o that_o superextravagant_a grace_n of_o the_o pope_n to_o the_o injury_n of_o his_o own_o sea_n and_o dignity_n t._n b._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o our_o jesuit_n here_o unaware_o condemn_v rather_o their_o famous_a pope_n gregory_n of_o mere_a foolery_n than_o anatolius_n to_o who_o he_o impute_v it_o for_o if_o gregory_n report_n be_v true_a the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n offer_v he_o the_o name_n of_o universal_a bishop_n and_o yet_o do_v the_o same_o gregory_n object_n the_o desire_n thereof_o against_o the_o patriarch_n of_o constantinople_n as_o a_o proud_a name_n derogate_a from_o the_o right_n of_o all_o other_o bishop_n yea_o your_o own_o sweet_a self_n sir_n jesuite_n do_v in_o this_o very_a chapter_n ascribe_v no_o less_o unto_o your_o pope_n and_o withal_o admit_v other_o bishop_n beside_o his_o holiness_n second_o that_o anatolius_n may_v true_o have_v have_v equal_a authority_n with_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n in_o all_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n and_o for_o all_o that_o not_o have_v desire_a jurisdiction_n in_o italy_n and_o rome_n itself_o for_o our_o jesuite_n must_v know_v that_o these_o three_o be_v intrinsical_o distinguish_v one_o from_o a_o other_o viz._n identity_n equality_n and_o similitude_n there_o be_v often_o similitude_n where_o equality_n want_v and_o many_o time_n equality_n where_o no_o identity_n can_v be_v find_v three_o that_o the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n approve_v whatsoever_o the_o nicene_n synod_n have_v decree_v and_o consequent_o it_o take_v not_o away_o from_o any_o bishop_n his_o proper_a dignity_n last_o well_o that_o this_o which_o our_o friar_n here_o object_v and_o whatsoever_o else_o where_o to_o the_o like_a effect_n be_v

hundred_o and_o thirty_o holy_a and_o learned_a bishop_n in_o one_o synod_n 217._o in_o a_o other_o mark_v 200._o in_o a_o other_o 150._o in_o a_o other_o 318._o in_o a_o other_o all_o which_o be_v
