A44094	Some thoughts on a convocation and the notion of its divine right with some occasional reflections on the defence of the vindication of the deprived bishops.	Hody, Humphrey, 1659-1707.	1699 (1699)	Wing H2346; ESTC R37493	30,786	42

against_o some_o of_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o own_o profession_n it_o will_v be_v more_o proper_a for_o the_o college_n of_o physician_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o but_o where_o the_o crime_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o the_o profession_n there_o be_v require_v no_o skill_n in_o physic_n to_o judge_v of_o it_o if_o a_o person_n be_v convict_v of_o heresy_n it_o be_v just_a he_o shall_v be_v try_v by_o the_o spiritual_a power_n and_o according_a to_o what_o have_v be_v judge_v by_o they_o so_o to_o be_v but_o if_o his_o offence_n be_v against_o the_o king_n or_o the_o public_a if_o he_o refuse_v allegiance_n to_o his_o majesty_n or_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n be_v he_o a_o spiritual_a person_n or_o not_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o his_o majesty_n have_v a_o right_a to_o forbid_v he_o the_o exercise_n of_o any_o office_n or_o function_n within_o his_o territory_n the_o king_n do_v not_o judge_v herein_o of_o his_o qualification_n as_o a_o divine_a but_o of_o his_o duty_n as_o a_o subject_a and_o as_o such_o have_v a_o right_a to_o command_v his_o obedience_n and_o to_o punish_v he_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a for_o his_o disloyalty_n but_o if_o what_o the_o author_n of_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o deprive_a bishop_n urge_v be_v of_o any_o force_n as_o that_o the_o church_n and_o state_n though_o christian_a be_v two_o distinct_a society_n and_o that_o spiritual_a person_n though_o defend_v and_o preserve_v by_o the_o sovereign_a power_n have_v yet_o as_o such_o no_o dependence_n upon_o it_o and_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o its_o authority_n how_o advantageous_a soever_o this_o may_v prove_v to_o the_o church_n it_o will_v be_v very_o inconvenient_a and_o dangerous_a to_o the_o state_n for_o if_o the_o prince_n have_v no_o just_a power_n over_o spiritual_a person_n as_o such_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o in_o several_a case_n he_o can_v have_v no_o authority_n over_o they_o as_o temporal_a as_o suppose_v any_o of_o that_o body_n shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o a_o crime_n which_o require_v such_o a_o punishment_n as_o can_v be_v inflict_v without_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o ecclesiastical_a as_o well_o as_o his_o civil_a right_n it_o be_v plain_a according_a to_o that_o author_n way_n of_o argue_v that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o state_n can_v have_v no_o authority_n to_o punish_v and_o if_o the_o clergy_n will_v not_o pass_v sentence_n against_o he_o he_o must_v go_v unpunished_a for_o how_o guilty_a soever_o he_o may_v be_v the_o king_n can_v pretend_v no_o authority_n either_o to_o imprison_v or_o banish_v he_o because_o according_a to_o this_o author_n the_o supreme_a power_n have_v no_o right_a upon_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o to_o prohibit_v he_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o ecclesiastical_a function_n which_o he_o must_v do_v if_o he_o punish_v he_o either_o of_o the_o forementioned_a way_n the_o same_o reason_n will_n i_o think_v also_o forbid_v the_o civil_a authority_n from_o have_v any_o right_n of_o sentence_v a_o ecclesiastical_a person_n to_o death_n as_o well_o as_o to_o perpetual_a imprisonment_n be_v his_o offence_n of_o what_o nature_n soever_o the_o consequence_n of_o such_o notion_n be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a confutation_n of_o they_o the_o great_a grotius_n 10._o who_o can_v have_v no_o interest_n or_o prejudice_n to_o misguide_a his_o judgement_n in_o relation_n to_o this_o controversy_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o right_n of_o remove_v a_o pastor_n from_o the_o cure_n of_o any_o certain_a place_n ought_v always_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o high_a power_n so_o solomon_n depose_v abiathar_n from_o be_v priest_n the_o vindicator_n of_o the_o deprive_a bishop_n have_v be_v at_o some_o pain_n to_o prove_v that_o abiathar_n be_v not_o high_a priest_n which_o whether_o true_a or_o no_o be_v little_a to_o his_o purpose_n for_o if_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o deprive_v by_o a_o lay_v power_n it_o be_v sufficient_a so_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v more_o than_o once_o depose_v by_o the_o imperial_a authority_n as_o be_v own_v by_o bellarmine_n himself_o and_o to_o prove_v this_o say_v grotius_n be_v not_o difficult_a for_o if_o the_o supreme_a authority_n have_v a_o right_a to_o forbid_v any_o one_o the_o city_n or_o province_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v a_o right_n to_o prohibit_v he_o the_o ministry_n of_o that_o city_n or_o province_n for_o this_o be_v include_v in_o the_o other_o for_o he_o who_o have_v a_o power_n over_o the_o whole_a must_v have_v the_o same_o no_o doubt_n over_o the_o part_n and_o he_o add_v that_o if_o the_o sovereign_a power_n have_v not_o this_o right_n the_o state_n can_v not_o be_v able_a to_o provide_v for_o its_o own_o security_n but_o what_o seem_v to_o i_o most_o absurd_a in_o the_o management_n of_o this_o controversy_n by_o the_o vindicator_n of_o the_o deprive_v bishop_n be_v this_o that_o he_o condemn_v all_o those_o of_o schism_n who_o go_v upon_o different_a principle_n or_o that_o conform_a with_o these_o who_o fill_v the_o see_v of_o the_o deprive_a bishop_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n he_o not_o only_o involve_v

that_o the_o prince_n have_v by_o this_o the_o same_o power_n over_o ecclesiastical_a person_n as_o the_o pope_n have_v usurp_v before_o the_o reformation_n and_o indeed_o if_o these_o word_n do_v
