that_o decree_v transubstantiation_n have_v likewise_o decree_v that_o if_o a_o prince_n do_v not_o extirpate_v heretic_n out_o of_o his_o dominion_n the_o pope_n must_v depose_v he_o and_o declare_v his_o subject_n absolve_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o give_v his_o dominion_n to_o another_o so_o that_o even_o his_o majesty_n how_o much_o soever_o he_o may_v be_v a_o zealous_a catholic_n yet_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o their_o fidelity_n to_o he_o unless_o he_o have_v give_v they_o secret_a assurance_n that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o extirpate_v heretic_n out_o of_o his_o dominion_n and_o that_o all_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o now_o make_v to_o these_o poor_a wretch_n be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v keep_v than_o the_o assurance_n which_o the_o great_a lewis_n give_v to_o

he_o be_v order_v all_o possible_a violence_n to_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n against_o they_o x._o his_o majesty_n assure_v we_o that_o on_o all_o occasion_n the_o papist_n have_v show_v themselves_o good_a and_o faithful_a subject_n to_o he_o and_o his_o royal_a predecessor_n but_o how_o absolute_a soever_o the_o king_n power_n may_v be_v it_o seem_v his_o knowledge_n of_o history_n be_v not_o so_o absolute_a but_o it_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o some_o improvement_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v out_o what_o loyalty_n they_o show_v on_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o gunpowder_n plot_n or_o during_o the_o whole_a progress_n of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o ireland_n if_o the_o king_n will_v either_o take_v the_o word_n of_o k._n james_n of_o glorious_a memory_n or_o k._n charles_n the_o first_o that_o be_v indeed_o of_o pious_a and_o bless_a memory_n rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o penner_n of_o this_o proclamation_n it_o will_v not_o be_v hard_a to_o find_v occasion_n where_o they_o be_v a_o little_a want_v in_o this_o their_o so_o much_o boast_a loyalty_n and_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o that_o religion_n the_o king_n can_v never_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o fidelity_n of_o those_o he_o call_v his_o catholic_n subject_n but_o by_o engage_v to_o they_o to_o make_v his_o heretical_a subject_n sacrifice_n to_o their_o rage_n xi_o the_o king_n declare_v they_o capable_a of_o all_o the_o office_n and_o benefice_n which_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o bestow_v on_o they_o and_o only_o restrain_v they_o from_o invade_v the_o protestant_a church_n by_o force_n so_o that_o here_o a_o door_n be_v plain_o open_v for_o admit_v they_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n in_o protestant_a church_n so_o they_o do_v not_o break_v into_o they_o by_o force_n and_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o term_n benefice_n in_o its_o ancient_a and_o first_o signification_n now_o it_o stand_v only_o for_o church_n preferment_n so_o that_o when_o any_o church_n that_o be_v at_o the_o king_n gift_n fall_v vacant_a here_o be_v a_o plain_a intimation_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v provide_v

establish_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n as_o the_o late_a test_n enact_v by_o himself_o in_o person_n while_o he_o represent_v his_o brother_n upon_o which_o he_o give_v as_o strange_a a_o essay_n to_o the_o world_n of_o his_o absolute_a justice_n in_o the_o attainder_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o argile_n as_o he_o do_v now_o of_o his_o absolute_a power_n in_o condemn_v the_o test_n itself_o he_o also_o repeal_v his_o own_o confirmation_n of_o the_o test_n since_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n which_o he_o offer_v as_o the_o clear_a evidence_n that_o he_o can_v give_v of_o his_o resolution_n to_o maintain_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o by_o which_o he_o gain_v so_o much_o upon_o that_o parliament_n that_o he_o obtain_v every_o thing_n from_o they_o that_o he_o desire_v of_o they_o till_o he_o come_v to_o try_v they_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n this_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a evidence_n to_o assure_v his_o people_n that_o his_o

this_o will_v be_v too_o prevail_v a_o temptation_n on_o the_o subject_n to_o mind_n the_o prince_n promise_v as_o little_a as_o
