civil_a government_n in_o punish_v a_o crime_n that_o be_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastical_a but_o here_o it_o will_v be_v say_v the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v general_a that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o of_o all_o other_o his_o highness_n dominion_n and_o country_n how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o civil_a sword_n only_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o government_n and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v not_o comprehend_v therein_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o where_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v affirm_v to_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o his_o own_o dominion_n and_o country_n by_o common_a intendment_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o civil_a government_n and_o may_v in_o no_o reason_n be_v extend_v to_o that_o which_o be_v mere_o of_o another_o kind_n second_o i_o say_v that_o where_o a_o ambiguity_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o any_o part_n of_o a_o oath_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v according_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o he_o for_o who_o satisfaction_n the_o oath_n be_v minister_v now_o in_o this_o case_n it_o have_v be_v sufficient_o declare_v by_o public_a authority_n that_o no_o other_o thing_n be_v mean_v by_o the_o government_n here_o mention_v but_o that_o of_o the_o civil_a sword_n only_o for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o article_n agree_v upon_o by_o the_o arch-bishop_n and_o bishop_n and_o the_o whole_a clergy_n in_o the_o convocation_n hold_v at_o london_n anno_fw-la 1562._o thus_o we_o read_v where_o we_o attribute_v to_o the_o queen_n majesty_n the_o chief_a government_n by_o which_o title_n we_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o some_o slanderous_a folk_n to_o be_v offend_v we_o give_v not_o to_o our_o prince_n the_o minister_a either_o of_o god_n word_n or_o of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o which_o thing_n the_o injuction_n also_o late_o set_v forth_o by_o elizabeth_n our_o queen_n do_v most_o plain_o testify_v but_o that_o only_a prerogative_n which_o we_o see_v to_o have_v be_v give_v always_o to_o all_o godly_a prince_n in_o holy_a scripture_n by_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v rule_v all_o estate_n and_o degree_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n by_o god_n whether_o they_o be_v ecclesiastical_a or_o temporal_a and_o restrain_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n the_o stubborn_a and_o evil_a doer_n if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o convocation_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o exposition_n of_o that_o which_o be_v enact_v in_o parliament_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o article_n stand_v confirm_v not_o only_o by_o the_o royal_a assent_n of_o the_o prince_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o who_o supremacy_n the_o oath_n be_v frame_v but_o also_o by_o a_o special_a act_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o the_o statute_n in_o the_o thirteen_o year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n chap._n 12._o see_v therefore_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n have_v full_a authority_n to_o expound_v the_o law_n and_o they_o have_v sufficient_o manifest_v that_o by_o the_o supreme_a government_n give_v to_o the_o prince_n they_o understand_v that_o kind_n of_o government_n only_o which_o be_v exercise_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n i_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o that_o without_o all_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n the_o king_n majesty_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o this_o sense_n to_o be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o all_o his_o highness_n dominion_n and_o country_n as_o well_o in_o all_o spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n or_o cause_n as_o temporal_a and_o so_o have_v i_o clear_v the_o first_o main_a branch_n of_o the_o oath_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o second_o which_o be_v propound_v negative_o that_o no_o foreign_a prince_n person_n prelate_n state_n or_o potentate_n have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v any_o
