in_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n for_o external_a government_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o over_o he_o or_o his_o subject_n within_o this_o realm_n any_o authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n nor_o

set_v down_o some_o general_a head_n of_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a breve_n whereby_o any_o judicious_a man_n may_v have_v sufficient_a ground_n to_o judge_v not_o only_a how_o far_o the_o pope_n aforesaid_a breve_n but_o also_o all_o other_o of_o the_o like_a kind_n may_v without_o any_o irreverence_n or_o disobedience_n to_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a be_v contradict_v or_o not_o admit_v by_o good_a and_o virtuous_a catholic_n 2._o first_o therefore_o widdrington_n show_v out_o of_o the_o approve_a doctrine_n of_o suarez_n and_o other_o divine_n that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o law_n or_o precept_n the_o one_o be_v call_v constitutive_a for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o suppose_v but_o make_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o forbid_v to_o be_v unlawful_a which_o if_o that_o precept_n be_v not_o will_v be_v lawful_a as_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o church_n to_o fast_o from_o flesh_n in_o lent_n to_o abstain_v from_o servile_a work_n upon_o command_v holiday_n to_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n at_o easter_n or_o the_o like_a and_o that_o no_o constitutive_a precept_n of_o the_o church_n do_v bind_v when_o by_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v danger_n to_o incur_v some_o notable_a corporal_a or_o temporal_a hurt_n the_o other_o be_v call_v declarative_a for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v but_o suppose_v and_o declare_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v unlawful_a which_o they_o forbid_v as_o be_v forbid_v by_o some_o former_a law_n as_o the_o forbid_a of_o theft_n murder_n whoredom_n usury_n and_o such_o like_a for_o that_o they_o be_v before_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o obligation_n of_o declarative_a precept_n do_v only_o depend_v upon_o the_o reason_n and_o former_a law_n which_o in_o the_o declarative_a precept_n be_v suppose_v and_o declare_v so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o former_a law_n or_o prohibition_n as_o in_o the_o declarative_a precept_n be_v suppose_v and_o declare_v the_o declarative_a precept_n have_v no_o force_n to_o bind_v 3._o second_o he_o show_v that_o the_o pope_n breve_n forbid_v english_a catholic_n to_o take_v the_o oath_n do_v not_o contain_v a_o constitutive_a but_o only_o a_o declarative_a precept_n neither_o do_v they_o make_v but_o suppose_v and_o declare_v the_o oath_n to_o be_v unlawful_a for_o that_o say_v the_o breve_n it_o contain_v in_o it_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v manifest_o against_o faith_n and_o salvation_n and_o that_o consequent_o if_o in_o the_o oath_n there_o be_v nothing_o against_o faith_n or_o salvation_n as_o the_o breve_n suppose_v and_o declare_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o breve_n have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o to_o bind_v english_a catholic_n not_o to_o take_v the_o oath_n for_o that_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o false_a reason_n supposition_n and_o declaration_n 4._o three_o he_o show_v that_o all_o declarative_a breve_n be_v either_o definitive_a or_o ground_v upon_o some_o former_a definition_n of_o pope_n or_o council_n or_o else_o they_o be_v only_o opinative_a or_o ground_v upon_o the_o pope_n opinative_a judgement_n persuasion_n or_o probable_a opinion_n and_o that_o if_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o pope_n opinion_n no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v they_o as_o neither_o to_o follow_v his_o opinion_n whereon_o they_o be_v ground_v but_o he_o may_v as_o lawful_o contradict_v they_o as_o he_o may_v contradict_v his_o opinion_n although_o the_o pope_n think_v it_o to_o be_v never_o so_o probable_a and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n cause_n

now_o in_o controversy_n do_v not_o consider_v some_o reason_n law_n or_o decree_n which_o have_v great_a force_n against_o their_o opinion_n but_o contrariwise_o that_o the_o late_a doctor_n be_v convince_v with_o that_o reason_n law_n or_o decree_n do_v now_o defend_v the_o contrary_a opinion_n if_o therefore_o a_o learned_a man_n see_v that_o law_n or_o decree_n or_o consider_v that_o new_a reason_n do_v defend_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o late_a writer_n against_o the_o ancient_a he_o can_v follow_v in_o practice_n the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n against_o his_o own_o

with_o the_o pope_n to_o the_o depose_n of_o his_o lawful_a sovereign_n prince_n may_v under_o pretence_n of_o some_o probability_n of_o the_o doctrine_n to_o depose_v prince_n by_o the_o pope_n

be_v most_o certain_a and_o out_o of_o all_o controversy_n that_o he_o be_v excuse_v in_o conscience_n and_o before_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n from_o all_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o defend_v his_o
