we_o shall_v admit_v that_o the_o aforesaid_a didrachme_fw-la be_v a_o tribute_n due_a to_o caesar_n and_o not_o to_o the_o temple_n yet_o from_o those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n no_o sufficient_a

from_o temporal_a subjection_n to_o heathen_a prince_n 25_o first_o for_o that_o we_o may_v probable_o answer_v with_o jansenius_n and_o abulensis_n that_o christ_n do_v speak_v to_o s._n peter_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n but_o that_o we_o may_v not_o scandalize_v they_o not_o for_o that_o s._n peter_n be_v bind_v to_o pay_v tribute_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o scandal_n but_o either_o because_o our_o saviour_n do_v speak_v of_o his_o own_o person_n use_v the_o plural_a number_n for_o the_o singular_a as_o it_o be_v usual_a especial_o among_o great_a person_n we_o be_v wont_v say_v s._n

have_v give_v will_v in_o some_o sort_n have_v redound_v to_o s._n peter_n as_o be_v a_o mediator_n in_o that_o business_n and_o therefore_o as_o well_o affirm_v jansenius_n 17._o jansenius_n in_o

to_o heathen_a prince_n because_o the_o exemption_n of_o servant_n with_o their_o master_n or_o of_o those_o who_o be_v of_o the_o family_n of_o king_n child_n with_o the_o king_n child_n themselves_o

the_o end_n you_o may_v more_o plain_o understand_v the_o chief_a ground_n of_o this_o controversy_n touch_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n as_o my_o adversary_n confess_v betwixt_o he_o and_o i_o and_o special_o impugn_a in_o the_o new_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n i_o will_v divide_v into_o three_o principal_a part_n in_o the_o first_o i_o will_v set_v down_o those_o author_n which_o i_o bring_v in_o my_o theological_a disputation_n to_o prove_v that_o any_o catholic_a might_n by_o reason_n of_o extrinsecall_a ground_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o learned_a catholic_n probable_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o by_o christ_n his_o institution_n any_o power_n to_o depose_v prince_n together_o with_o a_o confutation_n of_o the_o reply_v which_o card._n bellarmine_n mask_v under_o d._n schulkenius_n his_o name_n to_o who_o my_o adversary_n here_o remit_v his_o english_a reader_n have_v make_v against_o they_o in_o the_o second_o i_o will_v examine_v all_o the_o principal_a argument_n which_o card._n bellarmine_n have_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o union_n and_o subordination_n of_o the_o temporal_a power_n to_o the_o spiritual_a which_o subordination_n my_o adversary_n here_o suppose_v to_o be_v a_o chief_a foundation_n whereon_o the_o doctrine_n for_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n do_v depend_v and_o also_o the_o reply_v which_o d._n sculckenius_n have_v make_v to_o confirm_v the_o say_a pretend_a union_n and_o subordination_n in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o part_n i_o will_v discover_v in_o particular_a the_o insufficiency_n or_o mr._n fitzherbert_n whole_a reply_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n order_n and_o number_n of_o chapter_n which_o he_o have_v observe_v in_o reply_v to_o my_o answer_n the_o first_o part_n wherein_o those_o authority_n and_o testimony_n of_o learned_a catholic_n which_o mr._n fitzherbert_n cunning_o pass_v over_o and_o for_o answer_v to_o they_o remit_v his_o english_a reader_n to_o d._n schulckenius_n a_o latin_a writer_n be_v brief_o and_o perspicuous_o examine_v before_o i_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o particular_a point_n of_o my_o adversary_n reply_n and_o to_o make_v manifest_a his_o immodest_a insufficient_a and_o also_o unsincere_a proceed_n therein_o i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o first_o to_o set_v down_o the_o testimony_n of_o those_o catholic_a author_n which_o i_o bring_v in_o my_o theological_a disputation_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o doctrine_n for_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n be_v not_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o contrary_a heretical_a as_o mr._n fitzherbert_n follow_v the_o step_n of_o card._n bellarmine_n and_o some_o few_o other_o of_o his_o society_n will_v glad_o enforce_v english_a catholic_n even_a with_o incur_v their_o sovereign_n high_a displeasure_n and_o with_o the_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o their_o temporal_a estate_n to_o believe_v to_o the_o end_n the_o reader_n may_v thereby_o clear_o perceive_v both_o the_o silly_a and_o shuffle_a answer_n of_o d._n schulckenius_n and_o also_o the_o insufficient_a and_o crafty_a deal_n of_o mr._n fitzherbert_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o in_o this_o his_o reply_n to_o satisfy_v english_a catholik_o those_o especial_o that_o understand_v not_o the_o latin_a tongue_n for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v doubtless_o have_v reply_v in_o latin_a as_o he_o by_o i_o be_v answer_v in_o latin_a and_o to_o make_v they_o see_v as_o he_o say_v 28._o say_v in_o the_o preface_n num_fw-la 28._o a_o clear_a confutation_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o doctrine_n and_o of_o my_o principal_a argument_n and_o answer_n touch_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n betwixt_o he_o and_o i_o and_o special_o impugn_a and_o abjure_v in_o the_o new_a oath_n nevertheless_o he_o clean_o omit_v to_o answer_v my_o chief_n principal_a yea_o and_o only_a ground_n which_o i_o bring_v to_o persuade_v unlearned_a man_n that_o the_o doctrine_n for_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n be_v not_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n to_o wit_n extrinsecall_v ground_n draw_v from_o the_o
