of_o king_n and_o civil_a state_n excel_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n over_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a neither_o have_v nor_o aught_o to_o have_v

though_o it_o be_v without_o the_o consent_n and_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n themselves_o 11._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n

the_o conscience_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o no_o subject_a aught_o to_o refuse_v obedience_n to_o any_o such_o law_n 14._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n only_o have_v power_n within_o his_o

the_o church_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n yet_o that_o the_o church_n several_o or_o joint_o have_v no_o power_n to_o force_v
