be_v only_o temporal_a nay_o one_o may_v probable_o guess_v by_o his_o institution_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o christian_a loyalty_n a_o book_n late_o set_v forth_o and_o

spiritual_a authority_n and_o spiritual_a monarchy_n in_o sicily_n which_o be_v as_o harsh_a word_n as_o any_o in_o the_o oath_n and_o yet_o all_o christendom_n know_v and_o the_o pope_n and_o court_n of_o rome_n itself_o that_o that_o king_n claim_v a_o governourship_n or_o power_n call_v spiritual_a nay_o and_o which_o be_v much_o more_o supreme_o such_o without_o any_o one_o fancy_v that_o faith_n be_v prejudice_v by_o such_o a_o title_n nor_o import_v it_o whether_o that_o king_n have_v this_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n from_o the_o pope_n or_o no_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o their_o bargain_n our_o only_a question_n at_o present_a be_v concern_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n spiritual_a when_o apply_v to_o king_n which_o if_o it_o signify_v a_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a can_v never_o have_v be_v give_v he_o by_o the_o pope_n himself_o without_o create_v he_o bishop_n now_o i_o will_v ask_v upon_o this_o occasion_n whether_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v think_v fit_v to_o command_v his_o subject_n in_o sicily_n to_o take_v a_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n express_v in_o these_o word_n that_o he_o be_v supreme_a spiritual_a monarch_n or_o have_v supreme_a spiritual_a authority_n in_o that_o kingdom_n whether_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o subject_n there_o to_o refuse_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o to_o take_v it_o upon_o a_o capricious_a conceit_n ground_v on_o the_o double_a signification_n which_o the_o word_n spiritual_a supremacy_n may_v possible_o bear_v and_o thence_o take_v shadow_n that_o they_o renounce_v their_o faith_n or_o whether_o such_o a_o whimsy_n ought_v to_o excuse_v they_o i_o conceive_v no_o good_a statesman_n though_o never_o so_o good_a a_o christian_n will_v think_v he_o blameless_a you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o different_a case_n i_o add_v then_o this_o forcible_a reason_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v unanswerable_a if_o the_o word_n in_o spiritual_n or_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n or_o cause_n subjoin_v to_o supreme_a governor_n etc._n etc._n wrong_a faith_n that_o be_v if_o those_o word_n give_v the_o king_n a_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a as_o be_v fear_v and_o object_v then_o the_o word_n only_a join_v to_o supreme_a governor_n and_o alice_n to_o thing_n or_o cause_n be_v so_o ample_a and_o extensive_a must_v either_o give_v he_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a or_o none_o at_o all_o but_o all_o power_n of_o some_o other_o kind_n but_o it_o must_v cost_v we_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o common_a sense_n to_o imagine_v that_o either_o the_o oath_n maker_n shall_v intend_v to_o give_v or_o the_o king_n to_o receive_v the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o power_n pure_o spiritual_a for_o than_o he_o must_v have_v power_n to_o confer_v order_n consecrate_v the_o eucharist_n absolve_v in_o confession_n which_o not_o christian_a ever_o attribute_v to_o a_o secular_a magistrate_n therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a those_o word_n do_v not_o give_v the_o king_n any_o power_n or_o supremacy_n pure_o spiritual_a at_o all_o nor_o consequent_o can_v they_o breed_v the_o least_o scruple_n in_o any_o person_n of_o loyal_a principle_n that_o they_o concern_v or_o shock_n faith_n 16._o these_o thing_n seem_v evident_a enough_o however_o for_o a_o 5_o proof_n and_o explication_n of_o many_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v what_o k._n h._n 8_o take_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o revive_v act_n that_o make_v the_o same_o belong_v to_o our_o king_n and_o be_v by_o we_o in_o this_o oath_n acknowledge_v as_o his_o due_n or_o annex_v to_o his_o crown_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o the_o power_n so_o proper_a to_o a_o pastor_n that_o we_o can_v give_v it_o to_o our_o prince_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o man_n be_v by_o our_o saviour_n appointment_n immediate_n to_o his_o apostle_n or_o mediate_v to_o their_o successor_n depute_v to_o preach_v his_o faith_n persuade_v and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n help_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o and_o by_o that_o deputation_n enable_v to_o do_v these_o thing_n whereas_o a_o layman_n out_o of_o charity_n and_o goodwill_n to_o another_o or_o any_o other_o good_a motive_n beside_o our_o saviour_n appointment_n which_o he_o have_v not_o in_o our_o supposition_n that_o he_o be_v a_o layman_n or_o not_o appoint_v and_o so_o will_v usurp_v if_o he_o pretend_v to_o it_o may_v teach_v he_o his_o catechism_n or_o send_v a_o pastor_n that_o be_v his_o friend_n or_o his_o chaplain_n to_o do_v it_o and_o out_o of_o the_o same_o and_o other_o reasonable_a motive_n the_o king_n may_v have_v a_o human_a power_n either_o to_o teach_v a_o man_n if_o he_o please_v or_o send_v all_o his_o subject_n that_o be_v pastor_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n or_o exercise_v the_o power_n christ_n give_v they_o nay_o and_o to_o hinder_v they_o from_o exercise_v of_o it_o in_o case_n of_o wicked_a life_n for_o example_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a they_o shall_v since_o the_o law_n can_v
