of_o resist_a prince_n on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n to_o have_v obtain_v together_o with_o the_o pope_n power_n of_o depose_v prince_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o

this_o principle_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o resist_a authority_n on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o this_o can_v be_v look_v on_o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o a_o few_o factious_a

blow_n and_o to_o make_v the_o pope_n thunder_n effectual_a by_o actual_a rebellion_n and_o the_o pope_n understand_v this_o so_o well_o that_o they_o seldom_o denounce_v their_o sentence_n of_o excommunication_n against_o prince_n but_o when_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o readiness_n to_o pursue_v the_o design_n as_o may_v be_v make_v appear_v by_o a_o particular_a history_n of_o the_o several_a excommunication_n of_o prince_n from_o the_o emperor_n henry_n iv._o to_o our_o own_o time_n if_o they_o do_v forbear_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o our_o age_n we_o be_v not_o to_o impute_v it_o to_o any_o alteration_n of_o their_o mind_n or_o great_a kindness_n to_o prince_n then_o former_o but_o only_o to_o the_o not_o find_v a_o fit_a opportunity_n or_o a_o party_n strong_a and_o great_a enough_o to_o compass_v their_o end_n for_o they_o have_v learn_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v only_a loss_n of_o powder_n and_o ammunition_n to_o give_v fire_n at_o too_o great_a a_o distance_n and_o that_o the_o noise_n only_o awaken_v other_o to_o look_v to_o themselves_o but_o when_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o people_n ready_a prepare_v for_o so_o good_a a_o work_n as_o the_o nuntio_n in_o ireland_n do_v than_o they_o will_v set_v up_o again_o for_o this_o good_a old_a cause_n of_o rebellion_n on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o cardinal_n bellarmin_n among_o other_o notable_a reason_n to_o prove_v the_o pope_n depose_v power_n ratio_fw-la bring_v this_o for_o one_o because_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o christian_n to_o suffer_v a_o heretical_a prince_n if_o he_o seek_v to_o draw_v his_o subject_n to_o his_o belief_n and_o what_o prince_n that_o believe_v his_o own_o religion_n do_v it_o not_o and_o what_o then_o be_v this_o but_o to_o raise_v rebellion_n against_o a_o prince_n whenever_o he_o and_o they_o happen_v to_o be_v of_o different_a religion_n but_o that_o which_o i_o bring_v this_o for_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o pope_n depose_v power_n do_v carry_v along_o with_o it_o that_o mischievous_a principle_n to_o government_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o resist_a authority_n on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o from_o this_o discourse_n i_o infer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o real_a security_n give_v to_o the_o government_n without_o renounce_v this_o depose_v power_n in_o the_o pope_n but_o that_o which_o be_v the_o present_a pretence_n among_o they_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o this_o they_o stick_v at_o but_o the_o quarrel_n they_o have_v at_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n as_o it_o be_v now_o frame_v i_o shall_v therefore_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n viz._n ii_o that_o if_o they_o do_v renounce_v the_o pope_n depose_v power_n in_o good_a earnest_n they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o now_o gentleman_n i_o must_v again_o make_v my_o address_n to_o you_o with_o great_a thanks_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n you_o have_v give_v i_o in_o this_o particular_a i_o have_v serious_o read_v and_o consider_v your_o treatise_n and_o i_o find_v by_o they_o all_o that_o if_o you_o dare_v hearty_o renounce_v this_o doctrine_n all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o oath_n may_v go_v down_o well_o enough_o the_o author_n of_o the_o first_o treatise_n be_v so_o ingenuous_a 1._o as_o to_o make_v the_o follow_a proposition_n the_o whole_a foundation_n of_o his_o discourse_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o take_v any_o oath_n or_o protestation_n renounce_v the_o pope_n power_n in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o to_o depose_v a_o christian_a prince_n or_o absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o in_o my_o mind_n he_o give_v a_o very_a substantial_a reason_n for_o it_o because_o the_o hold_v that_o he_o have_v no_o such_o power_n be_v erroneous_a in_o faith_n temerarious_a and_o impious_a what_o will_v a_o man_n wish_v for_o more_o against_o any_o doctrine_n whatever_o p._n w._n and_o his_o brethren_n think_v of_o this_o depose_v power_n this_o piece_n do_v charge_v they_o home_o and_o tell_v they_o their_o own_o and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v sound_a catholic_n that_o deny_v it_o that_o in_o one_o word_n they_o be_v heretic_n damnable_a henrician_n heretic_n what_o 5._o will_v they_o be_v think_v catholic_n that_o charge_v the_o church_n for_o so_o many_o age_n 2._o with_o hold_v a_o damnable_a error_n and_o practise_v mortal_a sin_n as_o their_o church_n have_v do_v if_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o depose_v power_n for_o this_o honest_a gentleman_n confess_v that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n enormous_o injurious_a to_o the_o right_n of_o prince_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o much_o deadly_a feud_n betwixt_o the_o church_n and_o secular_a state_n of_o many_o bloody_a war_n of_o prince_n one_o against_o another_o and_o wicked_a rebellion_n of_o subject_n against_o their_o prince_n o_o the_o irresistible_a power_n of_o truth_n how_o vain_a be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o go_v about_o to_o masquerade_n the_o sun_n his_o light_n will_v break_v through_o and_o discover_v all_o it_o be_v very_o true_a this_o have_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o bless_a doctrine_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n sedition_n war_n bloodshed_n rebellion_n what_o not_o but_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v this_o to_o have_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n how_o say_v you_o by_o all_o the_o way_n we_o can_v prove_v any_o doctrine_n catholic_n pope_n have_v teach_v it_o from_o scripture_n and_o tradition_n and_o condemn_v the_o contrary_a as_o erroneous_a in_o faith_n pernicious_a to_o salvation_n wicked_a folly_n and_o madness_n and_o inflict_v censure_n on_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o have_v they_o so_o in_o good_a sooth_n nay_o then_o it_o must_v be_v as_o good_a catholic_n doctrine_n as_o transubstantiation_n its_o own_o self_n if_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v in_o council_n and_o receive_v by_o the_o church_n yes_o say_v you_o that_o i_o prove_v by_o the_o very_a same_o pope_n 5._o the_o same_o council_n the_o same_o church_n and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o transubstantiation_n be_v and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v you_o have_v do_v it_o and_o i_o thank_v you_o for_o it_o i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v with_o your_o proof_n they_o be_v very_o solid_a and_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o above_o
