renounce_v all_o pardon_n and_o dispensation_n to_o the_o contrary_n 1._o this_o branch_n contain_v in_o it_o no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o to_o wit_n that_o in_o this_o oath_n be_v only_o demand_v a_o sincere_a profession_n of_o true_a temporal_a allegiance_n and_o that_o no_o authority_n or_o obedience_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o pope_n be_v deny_v therein_o and_o that_o to_o treat_v of_o the_o pope_n authority_n not_o affirmative_o what_o power_n he_o have_v but_o affirmative_o what_o authority_n in_o temporall_n the_o king_n

that_o to_o exact_v of_o subject_n a_o oath_n not_o only_o of_o their_o temporal_a allegiance_n in_o general_a but_o also_o of_o such_o allegiance_n in_o particular_a which_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o state_n shall_v for_o prudent_a reason_n &_o motive_n think_v to_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n from_o future_a treason_n invasion_n or_o perturbation_n so_o that_o it_o be_v contain_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o true_a temporal_a allegiance_n do_v no_o way_n exceed_v the_o limit_n of_o temporal_a authority_n 2._o first_o therefore_o by_o those_o word_n good_a and_o full_a authority_n be_v not_o understand_v any_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n in_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n but_o only_o in_o temporal_a matter_n as_o be_v the_o minister_a of_o a_o oath_n of_o true_a temporal_a allegiance_n for_o although_o his_o majesty_n be_v persuade_v that_o he_o have_v full_a and_o supreme_a authority_n not_o only_o in_o temporal_a but_o also_o 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 power_n to_o excommunicate_v his_o majesty_n yet_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o meddle_v at_o all_o in_o this_o oath_n either_o with_o his_o own_o or_o with_o the_o pope_n ecclesiastical_a supremacy_n but_o only_o with_o his_o own_o temporal_a sovereignty_n and_o consequent_o with_o the_o pope_n authority_n not_o to_o depose_v he_o or_o to_o dispose_v of_o his_o kingdom_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 to_o absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o obedience_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o in_o the_o three_o observation_n we_o must_v distinguish_v betwixt_o his_o majesty_n understanding_n or_o persuasion_n and_o his_o meaning_n or_o intention_n for_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o exact_v in_o this_o oath_n of_o his_o subject_n all_o which_o he_o be_v persuade_v he_o may_v lawful_o exact_v of_o they_o but_o only_o to_o demand_v of_o they_o in_o this_o oath_n a_o profession_n of_o that_o temporal_a allegiance_n which_o all_o subject_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o give_v to_o their_o lawful_a sovereign_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o declaration_n both_o of_o his_o majesty_n and_o also_o of_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o pope_n authority_n to_o excommunicate_v he_o 3._o second_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o albeit_o christian_a prince_n have_v not_o authority_n to_o define_v and_o determine_v what_o position_n be_v heretical_a or_o to_o punish_v heretic_n with_o spiritual_a punishment_n for_o these_o be_v mere_a spiritual_a thing_n yet_o they_o have_v authority_n to_o command_v their_o subject_n to_o abjure_v such_o position_n as_o be_v already_o define_v or_o know_v to_o be_v manifest_o false_a and_o repugnant_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o such_o and_o to_o punish_v with_o temporal_a punishment_n the_o obstinate_a maintainer_n of_o the_o same_o especial_o as_o

not_o the_o sovereign_n or_o supreme_a lord_n of_o the_o same_o because_o he_o be_v as_o a_o feudarie_n subject_a to_o the_o emperor_n nevertheless_o because_o the_o lawful_a and_o rightful_a king_n of_o england_n be_v also_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o the_o same_o by_o reason_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o matter_n we_o may_v lawful_o and_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v bind_v
