may_v ask_v who_o those_o cardinal_n be_v who_o they_o call_v prince_n of_o the_o church_n and_o upon_o who_o the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o rest_n and_o move_v as_o a_o door_n on_o the_o hinge_n

this_o be_v not_o the_o great_a evil_n nor_o the_o thing_n i_o intend_v most_o in_o this_o discourse_n by_o this_o it_o may_v be_v see_v how_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n abuse_v the_o bounty_n of_o

and_o prince_n notwithstanding_o the_o pope_n at_o this_o day_n say_v that_o he_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a law_n and_o jurisdiction_n think_v he_o hold_v of_o none_o but_o himself_o on_o earth_n labour_v to_o usurp_v the_o same_o authority_n over_o king_n and_o prince_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v and_o apply_v to_o himself_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n 28.18_o mat._n 28.18_o matth._n 28.18_o all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o although_o christ_n have_v the_o authority_n yet_o he_o make_v no_o use_n of_o it_o but_o ever_o submit_v himself_o to_o prince_n and_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o this_o power_n usurp_v it_o nevertheless_o so_o far_o as_o he_o can_v thence_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v under_o his_o authority_n and_o dominion_n king_n and_o prince_n and_o pretend_v they_o all_o to_o be_v subject_a and_o tributary_n to_o his_o power_n not_o only_o in_o spiritual_a but_o even_o in_o

temporal_a thing_n and_o that_o with_o that_o subtlety_n and_o craft_n which_o bellarmine_n and_o other_o romish_a doctor_n call_v indirect_a jurisdiction_n and_o power_n whereby_o he_o make_v all_o

mix_v with_o it_o over_o which_o the_o pope_n pretend_v direct_a authority_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o the_o romish_a school_n that_o he_o may_v depose_v establish_v and_o excommunicate_a king_n interdict_v their_o dominion_n and_o kingdom_n give_v all_o their_o estate_n in_o prey_n to_o the_o first_o conqueror_n under_o the_o pretext_n and_o colour_n of_o

the_o infallible_a ambition_n which_o be_v natural_a to_o every_o one_o and_o ground_v upon_o this_o maxim_n the_o pope_n have_v make_v use_n of_o that_o authority_n upon_o all_o occasion_n and_o do_v it_o yet_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v witness_v that_o which_o the_o pope_n have_v late_o do_v upon_o the_o dukedom_n of_o ferrara_n and_o urbin_n in_o italy_n which_o state_n he_o have_v handsome_o

which_o be_v common_a enough_o in_o the_o congregation_n where_o i_o be_v when_o i_o have_v do_v all_o that_o i_o be_v able_a to_o make_v they_o perfect_a and_o meritorious_a and_o when_o i_o join_v all_o the_o zeal_n purity_n and_o love_n of_o god_n be_v possible_a i_o do_v notwithstanding_o ever_o find_v so_o many_o inward_a defect_n and_o imperfection_n that_o i_o can_v never_o persuade_v myself_o they_o be_v of_o great_a efficacy_n before_o god_n to_o merit_v his_o favour_n or_o any_o heavenly_a recompense_n they_o afflict_v indeed_o and_o bring_v down_o the_o body_n and_o make_v it_o more_o able_a and_o apt_a to_o obey_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v st_n paul_n end_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o discreet_o use_v they_o bring_v man_n into_o many_o infirmity_n and_o disease_n but_o that_o they_o may_v merit_v god_n favour_n or_o glory_n or_o be_v capable_a to_o deliver_v a_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n or_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n i_o can_v never_o firm_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o i_o know_v certain_o from_o the_o knowledge_n which_o the_o govern_n of_o a_o multitude_n of_o soul_n have_v teach_v i_o this_o doctrine_n do_v so_o little_o assure_v the_o

wise_a man_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o quicken_a faith_n can_v justify_v we_o before_o god_n and_o howsoever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v faith_n to_o be_v only_o the_o ground_n and_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o justifi_v with_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n yet_o this_o love_n of_o god_n well_o explain_v with_o
