anoint_v and_o therefore_o call_v the_o christ_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n as_o say_v simeon_n the_o archbishop_n of_o thessalonica_n that_o every_o one_o may_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v inviolable_a and_o shall_v be_v respect_v as_o holy_a and_o sacred_a thing_n 6._o that_o it_o be_v a_o damnable_a heresy_n as_o holy_a irenaeus_n note_v 1400._o year_n ago_o to_o think_v 24._o that_o king_n be_v give_v to_o man_n casual_o see_v that_o all_o power_n come_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o say_v s._n isidore_n of_o damieta_n in_o the_o most_o ancient_a picture_n we_o see_v a_o

his_o own_o damnation_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n 8._o that_o obedience_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o not_o for_o that_o they_o be_v virtuous_a wise_a potent_a or_o endue_v with_o any_o other_o laudable_a quality_n but_o because_o they_o be_v king_n establish_v by_o god_n himself_o 9_o that_o our_o king_n of_o france_n be_v the_o elder_a child_n of_o the_o church_n enjoy_v rare_a and_o singular_a privilege_n above_o the_o common_a of_o other_o king_n of_o the_o world_n 2._o 10._o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o deny_v to_o they_o obedience_n &_o much_o less_o to_o revolt_v against_o they_o although_o they_o be_v vicious_a froward_a hard_o to_o support_v as_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v 11._o that_o be_v such_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o 11._o they_o as_o the_o prophet_n will_v have_v to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o nabuchodonosor_n and_o his_o son_n baltazar_n &_o that_o the_o affliction_n loss_n of_o good_n persecution_n and_o other_o in_o commodity_n which_o be_v endure_v patient_o not_o rebel_n therefore_o against_o their_o superior_n be_v thing_n very_o acceptable_a to_o god_n &_o conform_v to_o the_o praise_n

superior_a power_n 12._o and_o therefore_o that_o not_o only_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o lay_v hand_n upon_o their_o person_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o execrable_a parricide_n a_o prodigious_a trespass_n and_o a_o detestable_a sacrilege_n 13._o that_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n in_o the_o 15._o session_n ought_v to_o be_v receive_v of_o all_o and_o maintain_v
