elizabeth_n that_o declare_v every_o subject_n of_o england_n that_o shall_v take_v absolution_n from_o rome_n or_o own_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n or_o pay_v any_o fealty_n to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n and_o then_o he_o answer_v this_o by_o say_v there_o be_v two_o proviso_n in_o the_o act_n that_o make_v the_o case_n somewhat_o different_a from_o what_o the_o characteriser_n have_v state_v it_o viz._n 1_o provide_v always_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o queen_n majesty_n be_v otherwise_o sufficient_o assure_v of_o the_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n of_o the_o temporal_a lord_n of_o her_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n therefore_o this_o act_n nor_o any_o thing_n therein_o contain_v shall_v not_o extend_v to_o compel_v any_o temporal_a person_n of_o or_o above_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o baron_n of_o this_o realm_n to_o take_v or_o pronounce_v the_o do_v abovesaid_a viz._n of_o supremacy_n nor_o to_o incur_v any_o penalty_n limit_v by_o this_o act_n for_o not_o take_v or_o refuse_v the_o same_o etc._n etc._n 2._o provide_v also_o that_o if_o any_o péer_n of_o this_o realm_n shall_v hereafter_o offend_v contrary_a to_o this_o act_n or_o any_o branch_n or_o article_n thereof_o that_o in_o that_o and_o all_o such_o case_n and_o case_n they_o shall_v be_v try_v by_o their_o péer_v in_o such_o manner_n and_o form_n as_o in_o other_o case_n of_o treason_n they_o have_v use_v to_o be_v try_v and_o by_o no_o other_o mean_n now_o i_o will_v defy_v any_o impartial_a reader_n to_o judge_n if_o ever_o any_o thing_n be_v so_o weak_o and_o so_o impertinent_o urge_v as_o these_o two_o prouiso_n the_o first_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o queen_n be_v so_o assure_v of_o the_o loyalty_n of_o her_o nobility_n that_o she_o will_v not_o put_v they_o to_o the_o trouble_n of_o swear_v to_o confirm_v it_o as_o the_o law_n require_v from_o her_o inferior_a subject_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o second_o proviso_n tell_v we_o that_o notwithstanding_o that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o offend_v against_o the_o law_n or_o any_o branch_n or_o article_n of_o it_o they_o shall_v find_v no_o more_o mercy_n than_o the_o mean_a commoner_n in_o her_o kingdom_n but_o be_v equal_o try_v for_o high_a treason_n now_o what_o he_o drive_v at_o by_o this_o objection_n or_o what_o favour_n these_o prouiso_n make_v for_o a_o popish_a heir_n i_o declare_v i_o can_v imagine_v neither_o do_v i_o believe_v he_o know_v himself_o upon_o this_o he_o come_v to_o a_o touch_n of_o conscience_n and_o say_v it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o every_o man_n that_o press_v with_o this_o unprecedented_a rigour_n upon_o the_o person_n here_o in_o question_n will_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o heart_n and_o say_v if_o the_o king_n have_v pardon_v i_o ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o than_o this_o come_v to_o with_o what_o reason_n or_o conscience_n can_v i_o importune_v his_o majesty_n thus_o bitter_o against_o his_o brother_n ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o than_o this_o come_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a disproportion_n but_o thus_o much_o i_o be_o certain_a for_o the_o heir_n of_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n and_o the_o son_n of_o a_o protestant_a martyr_n to_o be_v pervert_v to_o the_o religion_n and_o interest_n of_o rome_n so_o notorious_o destructive_a to_o the_o english_a government_n and_o thereby_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o distraction_n in_o the_o nation_n that_o tie_v up_o the_o heart_n and_o hand_n of_o the_o subject_a from_o their_o duty_n to_o the_o best_a of_o prince_n and_o weaken_v
