of_o this_o point_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o show_v what_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o excommunicate_v but_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o require_v a_o whole_a and_o large_a volume_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v think_v good_a not_o to_o meddle_v therewith_o but_o to_o refer_v you_o for_o your_o better_a instruction_n unto_o the_o large_a apology_n which_o marsilius_n paturius_fw-la

than_o christ_n himself_o have_v there_o you_o shall_v read_v england_n that_o christ_n come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o rule_v that_o he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o to_o command_v prince_n but_o that_o both_o he_o himself_o obey_v and_o teach_v his_o apostle_n to_o obey_v prince_n there_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o saint_n paul_n the_o apostle_n saint_n peter_n and_o other_o of_o christ_n disciple_n obey_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o temporal_a government_n there_o brief_o you_o shall_v learn_v that_o not_o clergy_n man_n ought_v to_o meddle_v with_o temporal_a matter_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o more_o authority_n to_o pardon_v sin_n or_o excommunicate_v any_o man_n than_o other_o inferior_a priest_n and_o minister_n have_v all_o this_o be_v true_a as_o in_o that_o apology_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o learned_o substantial_o and_o sufficient_o prove_v not_o by_o humane_a reason_n which_o may_v be_v erroneous_a but_o by_o

because_o many_o of_o our_o countryman_n attribute_v too_o much_o unto_o the_o pope_n authority_n and_o can_v be_v persuade_v but_o that_o he_o come_v unto_o the_o same_o direct_o and_o hold_v it_o
