absolute_o to_o be_v allow_v that_o that_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o all_o christendom_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o equivocation_n of_o the_o word_n christendom_n among_o the_o ancient_a writer_n we_o find_v he_o thus_o style_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n the_o successor_n of_o saint_n peter_n by_o some_o saint_n peter_n vicar_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n christ_n vicar_n god_n vicar_n head_n of_o the_o church_n fashion_n of_o speech_n which_o beget_v no_o ill_a meaning_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n christendom_n in_o this_o place_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o ambiguity_n and_o double_a sense_n which_o it_o have_v for_o it_o signify_v not_o only_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o the_o christian_a state_n and_o kingdom_n and_o this_o latter_a signification_n be_v the_o more_o usual_a as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o asia_n or_o egypt_n be_v not_o within_o christendom_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v no_o christian_a church_n in_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o temporal_a state_n of_o the_o christian_n so_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o under_o this_o new_a form_n of_o speech_n the_o fallacy_n be_v hide_v for_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n that_o be_v have_v the_o government_n &_o command_n in_o temporal_a matter_n over_o all_o christian_a state_n and_o prince_n let_v we_o therefore_o keep_v our_o ancient_a form_n and_o let_v we_o call_v he_o head_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o see_v the_o author_n drift_n be_v out_o of_o this_o whole_a discourse_n to_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n that_o where_o prince_n use_v their_o power_n to_o the_o hurt_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n or_o their_o people_n and_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o pope_n may_v take_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n to_o redress_v it_o although_o we_o have_v speak_v much_o of_o this_o point_n before_o in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o chapter_n novit_fw-la it_o will_v not_o be_v impertinent_a to_o our_o present_a purpose_n to_o consider_v what_o notable_a inconvenience_n will_v follow_v in_o this_o doctrine_n thus_o general_o deliver_v there_o be_v no_o action_n of_o a_o man_n in_o individuo_fw-la but_o either_o it_o be_v a_o good_a work_n or_o a_o sin_n now_o if_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o pope_n to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n overall_a sin_n and_o withal_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o determine_v what_o be_v sin_n and_o what_o not_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o long_o any_o prince_n but_o the_o pope_n nay_o further_o that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n leave_v for_o any_o private_a government_n for_o suppose_v the_o prince_n make_v a_o law_n to_o exact_v some_o contribution_n for_o the_o extraordinary_a

may_v say_v i_o will_v know_v the_o end_n why_o this_o tax_n be_v impose_v and_o so_o he_o may_v dive_v into_o the_o secret_n of_o that_o estate_n he_o may_v also_o examine_v the_o distribution_n whether_o it_o be_v equal_o and_o proportionable_o make_v and_o thereby_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o force_n and_o wealth_n of_o that_o state_n and_o be_v a_o temporal_a prince_n himself_o who_o in_o that_o right_a and_o quality_n may_v have_v occasion_n of_o war_n with_o a_o other_o prince_n by_o this_o course_n it_o will_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o he_o to_o infeable_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o get_v the_o mastery_n of_o he_o at_o a_o easy_a rate_n in_o sum_n the_o pope_n may_v by_o this_o doctrine_n examine_v all_o law_n all_o edict_n all_o convention_n all_o succession_n and_o all_o translation_n of_o prince_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v he_o may_v call_v in_o question_n and_o examine_v all_o inheritance_n and_o contract_n of_o private_a man_n because_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o shepherd_n as_o the_o author_n say_v to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o what_o his_o sheep_n do_v feed_v of_o what_o water_n they_o drink_v and_o where_o they_o have_v their_o walk_n and_o this_o inference_n do_v not_o only_o necessary_o follow_v of_o this_o supposition_n but_o be_v also_o allow_v by_o all_o the_o canonist_n that_o write_v upon_o that_o

have_v out_o of_o that_o chapter_n novit_fw-la frame_v a_o distinction_n that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o matter_n or_o of_o the_o action_n or_o of_o the_o contract_n and_o a_o other_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o sin_n but_o they_o make_v a_o division_n where_o there_o can_v be_v none_o for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n right_a to_o judge_v of_o all_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v sin_n and_o to_o forbid_v they_o and_o enforce_v all_o man_n to_o obey_v his_o determination_n therein_o what_o be_v there_o more_o leave_v then_o for_o the_o prince_n to_o do_v for_o example_n if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o bargain_n and_o sale_n make_v wherein_o there_o be_v iniquity_n and_o injustice_n and_o the_o pope_n shall_v determine_v it_o to_o be_v sin_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v

satisfy_v if_o any_o man_n can_v show_v i_o that_o there_o be_v leave_v for_o the_o prince_n as_o much_o as_o one_o of_o democritus_n mote_n sure_o by_o this_o doctrine_n either_o all_o authority_n of_o prince_n must_v be_v abolish_v or_o christendom_n must_v be_v hold_v in_o perpetual_a combustion_n and_o here_o i_o use_v not_o the_o word_n in_o any_o ambiguous_a sense_n but_o i_o understand_v by_o christendom_n all_o christian_a state_n &_o kingdom_n and_o because_o the_o author_n have_v teach_v we_o a_o very_a general_a doctrine_n that_o to_o judge_v whether_o any_o law_n contain_v in_o it_o sin_n or_o not_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o pope_n as_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n to_o determine_v whether_o a_o civil_a contract_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o sin_n of_o usury_n i_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v he_o that_o from_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o not_o only_o the_o pope_n but_o every_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o determine_v of_o all_o matrer_n for_o it_o can_v belong_v no_o more_o to_o he_o to_o judge_v whether_o a_o contract_n offend_v in_o usury_n then_o whether_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o any_o other_o wrong_n or_o hurt_v to_o a_o man_n neighbour_n for_o all_o that_o do_v so_o be_v sin_n aswell_o as_o the_o other_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o will_v belong_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n to_o determine_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o murder_n or_o kill_v of_o a_o man_n because_o it_o may_v be_v so_o do_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sin_n and_o it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o and_o to_o they_o it_o shall_v likewise_o belong_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o price_n set_v upon_o corn_n and_o other_o merchandise_n whether_o there_o be_v sin_n in_o it_o or_o not_o and_o to_o appoint_v that_o

to_o a_o undue_a usurpation_n all_o which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v observe_v by_o our_o author_n he_o have_v sure_o forbear_v to_o say_v that_o the_o commissary_n speak_v of_o unjust_a sentence_n but_o such_o as_o be_v of_o validity_n see_v plain_o in_o the_o four_o proposition_n that_o this_o commissary_n sentence_n be_v a_o protestation_n make_v against_o the_o foresay_a act_n and_o decree_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n gerson_n hold_v it_o of_o no_o validity_n this_o commissary_n if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o man_n of_o conscience_n can_v not_o have_v hold_v his_o own_o sentence_n unjust_a but_o like_o one_o that_o how_o ever_o the_o world_n go_v will_v be_v obey_v to_o ease_v himself_o of_o trouble_n in_o justify_v his_o mandate_n write_v in_o a_o common_a process_n that_o his_o sentence_n

endeavour_v in_o one_o ambiguous_a word_n to_o include_v the_o general_a that_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o obey_v all_o his_o sentence_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n think_v to_o purchase_v obedience_n to_o that_o which_o he_o particular_o intend_v not_o much_o unlike_a to_o this_o present_a occasion_n wherein_o many_o distrust_v their_o own_o ability_n in_o show_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o pope_n

the_o author_n say_v bellarmine_n bellarmine_n to_o this_o discourse_n gerson_n do_v add_v certain_a proposition_n to_o show_v that_o which_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n be_v both_o able_a and_o

they_o be_v all_o ground_a upon_o this_o principle_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o council_n be_v above_o the_o pope_n authority_n for_o upon_o no_o other_o reason_n will_v gerson_n have_v it_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v change_v the_o ancient_a cannon_n upon_o which_o the_o french_a church_n do_v then_o ground_n their_o liberty_n but_o because_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o those_o canon_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o council_n can_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o pope_n will_n and_o authority_n now_o that_o this_o principal_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v false_a let_v we_o not_o

of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o french_a church_n in_o prejudice_n of_o the_o pope_n but_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n and_o all_o the_o bishop_n of_o france_n be_v at_o peace_n and_o unity_n
