very_o propose_v of_o these_o four_o particular_n 1._o that_o they_o so_o exempt_v all_o ecclesiastical_a person_n from_o subjection_n to_o prince_n as_o to_o allow_v these_o no_o co-active_a but_o

unless_o he_o will_v renounce_v his_o profession_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v a_o good_a subject_n since_o the_o pope_n who_o with_o bellarmine_n he_o acknowledge_v the_o head_n of_o

can_v be_v more_o clear_a of_o rebellion_n than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v let_v any_o man_n judge_n of_o their_o doctrine_n as_o to_o that_o point_n by_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n
