in_o discourse_v on_o this_o subject_n you_o seem_v to_o make_v your_o state-religion_n to_o regard_v external_a discipline_n ceremony_n solemnity_n etc._n etc._n and_o for_o such_o matter_n it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v that_o the_o sovereign_n temporal_a prince_n may_v if_o need_v be_v interpose_v himself_o in_o the_o order_n of_o they_o for_o the_o convenience_n of_o his_o people_n in_o case_n this_o may_v be_v do_v without_o endanger_v a_o schism_n from_o the_o body_n of_o christianity_n but_o you_o extend_v your_o state-religion_n yet_o far_o so_o as_o to_o contain_v doctrine_n also_o such_o as_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o a_o christian_a profession_n which_o you_o say_v may_v be_v alter_v by_o the_o prince_n with_o advice_n of_o his_o national_a clergy_n and_o error_n remove_v how_o long_o soever_o continue_v and_o how_o large_o soever_o disperse_v this_o may_v also_o pass_v upon_o condition_n first_o that_o neither_o the_o prince_n nor_o his_o clergy_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o judge_v those_o doctrine_n to_o be_v error_n which_o the_o universal_a or_o patriarchal_a church_n of_o which_o they_o be_v subordinate_a member_n do_v teach_v and_o have_v

all_o authority_n ecclesiastical_a and_o all_o order_n in_o god_n church_n will_v be_v utter_o dissolve_v 104._o and_o whereas_o you_o demand_v of_o catholic_n that_o they_o explain_v what_o be_v the_o full_a extent_n of_o that_o spiritual_a power_n which_o they_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o pope_n over_o england_n etc._n etc._n you_o must_v permit_v i_o to_o say_v that_o to_o give_v a_o

study_v but_o i_o suppose_v the_o intent_n of_o this_o demand_n may_v more_o easy_o be_v satisfy_v by_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o since_o even_o the_o great_a prince_n be_v not_o

a_o misery_n and_o again_o since_o the_o pope_n consider_v but_o even_o as_o a_o patriarch_n have_v of_o right_n belong_v to_o he_o a_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n and_o power_n to_o inflict_v spiritual_a censure_n on_o all_o person_n subâ—ect_v to_o he_o even_o prince_n also_o according_a to_o their_o demerit_n we_o therefore_o conceive_v it_o a_o unquestionable_a truth_n that_o england_n be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o western_a patriarchate_n must_v also_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n spiritual_a jurisdiction_n extend_v to_o we_o also_o but_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o also_o confident_o affirm_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n inherent_a in_o the_o pope_n the_o temporal_a right_n and_o power_n of_o the_o king_n or_o even_o of_o the_o
