very_o propose_v of_o these_o four_o particular_n 1._o that_o they_o so_o exempt_v all_o ecclesiastical_a person_n from_o subjection_n to_o prince_n as_o to_o allow_v these_o no_o co-active_a but_o only_o a_o directive_n power_n over_o they_o 2._o that_o by_o the_o seal_n of_o confession_n they_o tie_v up_o their_o priest_n from_o reveal_v any_o traitorous_a plot_n of_o rebel_n against_o their_o sovereign_n 3._o that_o the_o pope_n by_o his_o authority_n can_v when_o he_o please_v absolve_v subject_n from_o their_o oath_n of_o fidelity_n to_o they_o 4._o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o christian_n to_o obey_v a_o heretical_a prince_n by_o which_o maxim_n it_o be_v evident_a how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o any_o man_n that_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v a_o good_a subject_n he_o must_v be_v no_o papist_n if_o he_o be_v true_a to_o his_o prince_n since_o he_o can_v be_v so_o no_o long_o than_o the_o pope_n will_v suffer_v he_o whatever_o such_o a_o man_n practice_n may_v be_v as_o no_o doubt_n many_o noble_a gentleman_n of_o that_o persuasion_n have_v be_v loyal_a to_o their_o last_o breath_n yet_o his_o principle_n be_v rebellious_a and_o if_o his_o natural_a generosity_n or_o some_o other_o respect_n keep_v he_o fast_o to_o his_o king_n his_o religion_n i_o be_o sure_a do_v not_o bind_v he_o and_o when_o there_o happen_v a_o contest_v between_o honour_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v odds_o but_o the_o latter_a will_v carry_v it_o for_o put_v the_o case_n the_o pope_n shall_v command_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o king_n another_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o of_o the_o two_o a_o papist_n conceive_v himself_o oblige_v to_o obey_v if_o he_o say_v his_o king_n he_o can_v be_v no_o good_a roman_n catholic_n if_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o must_v say_v unless_o he_o will_v renounce_v his_o profession_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v a_o good_a subject_n since_o the_o pope_n who_o with_o bellarmine_n he_o acknowledge_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n one_o that_o can_v err_v and_o that_o have_v power_n to_o make_v article_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v ex_fw-la
