pretence_n of_o any_o probable_a title_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o uncertain_a spiritual_a authority_n especial_o suppose_v which_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o christ_n have_v leave_v in_o

most_o certain_a and_o out_o of_o all_o controversy_n that_o a_o lawful_a prince_n who_o be_v in_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o his_o dominion_n may_v lawful_o defend_v himself_o &_o his_o dominion_n against_o all_o such_o that_o shall_v invade_v he_o &_o his_o country_n under_o pretence_n of_o any_o such_o probable_a title_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o spiritual_a authority_n and_o that_o he_o

of_o any_o such_o uncertain_a and_o controverse_v right_a and_o authority_n and_o these_o two_o assertion_n do_v make_v clear_a the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o oath_n wherein_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o any_o power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n to_o absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n or_o to_o authorise_v any_o foreign_a prince_n to_o invade_v or_o annoy_v he_o or_o his_o country_n etc._n etc._n 5._o the_o three_o assertion_n be_v that_o every_o false_a doctrine_n which_o be_v either_o direct_o and_o express_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o indirect_o virtual_o and_o by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n deduce_v from_o two_o premise_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v express_o contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n

and_o that_o the_o church_n have_v not_o any_o authority_n to_o make_v any_o catholic_a verity_n or_o heresy_n but_o only_o to_o declare_v it_o when_o there_o be_v make_v any_o doubt_n thereof_o and_o to_o make_v it_o know_v to_o all_o catholic_n which_o before_o her_o declaration_n be_v not_o know_v to_o all_o but_o only_o to_o some_o more_o or_o less_o who_o see_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o

impugner_n of_o the_o oath_n do_v ground_n all_o their_o exception_n against_o that_o branch_n upon_o the_o word_n heretical_a so_o that_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a three_o assertion_n be_v clear_v all_o the_o particular_a branch_n of_o the_o oath_n for_o that_o upon_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o second_o and_o four_o branch_n be_v whole_o ground_v the_o verity_n and_o justice_n of_o every_o

realm_n etc._n etc._n which_o branch_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o manifest_a that_o no_o english_a catholic_a ever_o dare_v be_v so_o impious_a and_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o take_v the_o least_o

also_o express_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n themselves_o for_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n or_o authority_n practicè_fw-la that_o be_v for_o practice_v to_o depose_v prince_n be_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o true_a real_a sufficient_a and_o lawful_a power_n or_o authority_n to_o practice_v the_o deposition_n of_o prince_n at_o any_o

the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v prince_n or_o to_o practice_v their_o deposition_n and_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o practice_v any_o such_o power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v upon_o any_o prince_n see_v that_o whosoever_o deni_v all_o effect_n of_o any_o power_n do_v virtual_o and_o in_o effect_n deny_v the_o power_n itself_o frustra_fw-la enim_fw-la est_fw-la

6_o wherefore_o if_o m._n widdrington_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o newyere_n gift_n have_v deny_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o pope_n power_n only_o in_o some_o particular_a case_n as_o m._n

conclude_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n nor_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n then_o indeed_o you_o may_v well_o infer_v that_o they_o do_v only_o deny_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v but_o not_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n itself_o which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o his_o majesty_n meaning_n who_o by_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o oath_n intend_v to_o

the_o crime_n shall_v deserve_v deposition_n and_o the_o pope_n shall_v have_v sufficient_a force_n and_o also_o convenient_a mean_n to_o put_v in_o execution_n his_o sentence_n of_o deprivation_n true_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n nor_o colour_n of_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o they_o deny_v only_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v but_o not_o the_o power_n and_o

against_o mr._n widdrington_n somewhat_o more_o forcible_o in_o form_n and_o show_v than_o you_o have_v do_v in_o this_o manner_n whosoever_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v some_o power_n

acknowledge_v by_o oath_n that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o he_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v false_a see_v that_o to_o have_v some_o authority_n and_o not_o to_o have_v any_o authority_n be_v

saltem_fw-la speculatiuè_fw-fr at_o least_o in_o speculation_n to_o depose_v therefore_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v some_o power_n to_o depose_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o oath_n we_o must_v

to_o depose_v so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o conceit_n imagination_n and_o opinion_n of_o some_o catholic_n yea_o and_o of_o
the_o pope_n himself_o but_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o have_v we_o to_o swear_v or_o at_o least_o acknowledge_v by_o oath_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o true_a real_a and_o lawful_a power_n to_o
