scripture_n certain_o if_o a_o implicit_a faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o party_n for_o they_o be_v the_o roman_a church_n with_o a_o resolution_n to_o believe_v they_o all_o when_o they_o come_v to_o their_o knowledge_n be_v sufficient_a to_o free_v a_o papist_n from_o heresy_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o it_o much_o more_o will_v a_o implicit_a faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o scripture_n with_o a_o resolution_n to_o believe_v they_o all_o when_o they_o real_o come_v to_o their_o knowledge_n be_v sufficient_a to_o free_v a_o protestant_n from_o heresy_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o it_o because_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v divine_a and_o in_o such_o a_o measure_n and_o degree_n infallible_a as_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o party_n without_o great_a error_n and_o impudence_n can_v pretend_v to_o 2._o see_v it_o be_v their_o receive_a doctrine_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o premise_n that_o if_o any_o bishop_n preach_v to_o his_o people_n the_o laity_n and_o unlearned_a rustic_n some_o heretical_a doctrine_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o may_v not_o only_o lawful_o but_o meritorious_o do_v so_o till_o it_o appear_v that_o their_o church_n be_v against_o it_o hence_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o bishop_n preach_v this_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o kill_v a_o heretical_a king_n who_o be_v actual_o anathematise_v and_o depose_v by_o the_o pope_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o may_v lawful_o and_o meritorious_o do_v so_o and_o then_o if_o it_o be_v meritorious_a to_o believe_v such_o a_o doctrine_n then_o to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n and_o actual_o kill_v such_o a_o king_n can_v not_o be_v unlawful_a and_o vicious_a so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o wonder_n that_o those_o prodigious_a popish_a villain_n who_o be_v
