the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o call_a papist_n in_o all_o the_o world_n be_v of_o this_o self-saving_a sort_n as_o we_o see_v in_o all_o country_n that_o the_o great_a number_n be_v or_o seem_v

doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o yet_o quiet_a themselves_o on_o such_o term_n of_o conformity_n as_o i_o here_o describe_v ii_o another_o sort_n call_v papist_n do_v believe_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o mere_a humane_a creature_n also_o not_o over_o all_o the_o world_n but_o in_o the_o empire_n and_o where_o prince_n let_v he_o and_o consequent_o as_o man_n set_v he_o up_o man_n may_v take_v he_o down_o but_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v a_o orderly_a institution_n as_o king_n and_o emperor_n and_o that_o his_o place_n be_v lawful_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o church_n to_o obey_v he_o especial_o when_o prince_n also_o do_v command_v it_o and_o that_o man_n have_v power_n from_o god_n to_o make_v as_o national_a provincial_a and_o patriarchal_a church_n and_o ruler_n so_o also_o a_o universal_a church_n and_o ruler_n for_o order_n and_o unity_n sake_n over_o many_o country_n and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o desirable_a to_o these_o end_n of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n 1._o one_o sort_n take_v the_o papacy_n and_o patriarch_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o laudable_a institution_n of_o constantine_n confirm_v by_o other_o prince_n 2._o the_o other_o

be_v just_o remove_v to_o constantinople_n but_o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v the_o pope_n have_v also_o a_o just_a primacy_n in_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o yet_o that_o he_o have_v it_o but_o by_o humane_a institution_n v._o there_o be_v other_o that_o think_v the_o pope_n be_v the_o universal_a head_n by_o divine_a institution_n even_o as_o s._n peter_n successor_n by_o
