england_n i_o say_v all_o such_o benefice_n and_o collation_n belong_v more_o to_o the_o king_n than_o to_o the_o pope_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o office_n to_o which_o benefice_n be_v annex_v be_v to_o be_v provide_v of_o able_a man_n and_o who_o be_v able_a man_n one_o can_v tell_v that_o understand_v not_o the_o office_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o secular_a clergyman_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o chooser_n of_o officer_n of_o their_o kind_n regulars_n of_o regular_a superior_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o donor_n of_o such_o benefice_n but_o the_o people_n first_o get_v a_o influence_n on_o the_o choose_n of_o bishop_n because_o it_o be_v rational_o believe_v those_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v most_o good_a who_o be_v in_o the_o people_n good_a like_n but_o when_o bishop_n grow_v to_o have_v great_a revenue_n and_o to_o be_v esteem_v man_n of_o so_o high_a quality_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o emperor_n and_o king_n begin_v to_o cast_v a_o eye_n on_o their_o election_n and_o not_o without_o reason_n for_o it_o concern_v they_o that_o none_o be_v in_o eminent_a place_n but_o such_o as_o they_o be_v secure_v of_o will_v breed_v no_o disturbance_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n after_o this_o if_o any_o clergyman_n have_v do_v the_o king_n service_n he_o find_v in_o the_o best_a way_n of_o recompense_n to_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v choose_v into_o a_o place_n of_o authority_n and_o eminency_n the_o pope_n title_n to_o the_o give_v of_o benefice_n begin_v by_o his_o office_n of_o patriach_n of_o the_o west_n which_o since_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a he_o more_o narrow_o look_v to_o the_o government_n of_o exhort_v and_o correct_v by_o letter_n such_o bishop_n and_o church_n there_o as_o do_v not_o their_o duty_n and_o this_o hold_v till_o pepin_n find_v how_o efficacious_a the_o reverence_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v to_o make_v he_o obey_v and_o accept_v for_o king_n of_o france_n since_o which_o time_n whether_o for_o ambition_n or_o for_o security_n sake_n man_n begin_v to_o think_v no_o act_n firm_a unless_o it_o be_v ratify_v at_o rome_n in_o time_n follow_v the_o pope_n begin_v to_o have_v need_n of_o christian_a prince_n and_o these_o find_v it_o the_o sweet_a way_n to_o help_v the_o pope_n by_o grant_v imposition_n upon_o the_o clergy_n so_o come_v the_o first-fruit_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o to_o assure_v those_o income_n the_o custom_n of_o have_v bull_n from_o rome_n to_o confirm_v the_o election_n of_o the_o clergy_n be_v likewise_o introduce_v so_o that_o this_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n come_v from_o the_o prince_n agreement_n with_o they_o and_o not_o from_o any_o superiority_n or_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n wherefore_o these_o agreement_n be_v by_o time_n and_o essential_a change_n annul_v all_o give_v of_o benefice_n belong_v to_o the_o chooser_n and_o the_o king_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o close_a if_o your_o renounce_n of_o benefice_n make_v you_o less_o subject_a to_o the_o pope_n as_o you_o pretend_v it_o make_v you_o in_o england_n less_o subject_a to_o the_o king_n and_o if_o it_o make_v you_o more_o hardly_o rewardable_a and_o more_o press_v on_o the_o pope_n it_o will_v make_v you_o the_o like_a to_o king_n as_o in_o leopold_n time_n you_o be_v so_o whole_o the_o mean_n for_o come_v to_o benefice_n that_o hardly_o a_o command_n from_o spain_n can_v take_v place_n for_o any_o that_o be_v not_o your_o confident_a 11._o my_o eleven_o doubt_n be_v how_o you_o answer_v your_o banishment_n out_o of_o france_n and_o venice_n viz._n that_o both_o these_o state_n have_v repeal_v their_o acts._n which_o answer_n make_v nothing_o to_o this_o that_o you_o either_o do_v not_o deserve_v the_o sentence_n or_o deserve_v to_o have_v it_o release_v one_o of_o which_o any_o judicious_a man_n will_v have_v expect_v at_o your_o hand_n now_o to_o come_v to_o particular_n the_o venetian_n be_v so_o resolute_a against_o you_o that_o they_o make_v it_o treason_n for_o any_o of_o their_o state_n so_o much_o as_o to_o motion_n your_o return_n and_o refuse_v divers_a prince_n intercession_n for_o you_o till_o their_o case_n reduce_v they_o to_o fear_v the_o slavery_n of_o the_o turk_n if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o pope_n assistance_n promise_v they_o large_o if_o they_o will_v re-admit_a you_o they_o rather_o choose_v to_o struggle_v with_o your_o treason_n at_o home_n than_o admit_v the_o barbarian_n conquest_n of_o their_o dominion_n whether_o they_o have_v cause_n to_o repent_v or_o not_o i_o know_v not_o but_o the_o current_a news_n at_o this_o present_a be_v that_o the_o pope_n who_o procure_v your_o admittance_n have_v have_v find_v you_o so_o unfaithful_a to_o he_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o love_n to_o you_o insomuch_o that_o he_o be_v about_o question_n you_o by_o what_o mean_v you_o be_v so_o sudden_o raise_v to_o so_o great_a wealth_n wherein_o i_o fear_v he_o will_v not_o find_v obedience_n so_o ready_a as_o he_o find_v flattery_n when_o he_o be_v to_o pleasure_v you_o your_o measure_n in_o france_n be_v indeed_o hard_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o prove_v to_o be_v universal_a but_o particular_a and_o so_o in_o divers_a place_n be_v never_o execute_v and_o easy_a to_o be_v repeal_v have_v proceed_v more_o out_o of_o presumption_n than_o proof_n but_o your_o case_n in_o england_n be_v far_o different_a your_o whole_a english_a congregation_n follow_v their_o head_n parson_n and_o maintain_v his_o act_n even_o since_o his_o death_n 12._o my_o twelve_o doubt_n be_v concern_v your_o conclusion_n whether_o you_o intend_v to_o mend_v what_o hitherto_o you_o have_v do_v amiss_o or_o rather_o to_o persist_v in_o your_o equivocation_n and_o dissimulation_n for_o first_o whereas_o you_o be_v the_o chief_o or_o only_o suspect_v body_n be_v therefore_o bind_v to_o offer_v more_o satisfaction_n than_o other_o you_o make_v your_o proposition_n to_o submit_v to_o whatever_o all_o other_o catholic_n priest_n shall_v agree_v to_o which_o sound_v as_o much_o as_o if_o any_o disagree_v you_o will_v adhere_v to_o they_o or_o in_o plain_a term_n that_o you_o will_v agree_v to_o no_o more_o than_o by_o shame_n you_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o for_o not_o plain_o appear_v the_o worst_a of_o priest_n and_o enemy_n to_o the_o catholic_n cause_n 13._o my_o thirteen_o doubt_n be_v why_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o great_a divine_n among_o catholic_n remit_v yourselves_o to_o the_o determination_n of_o other_o and_o not_o as_o good_a subject_n ought_v examine_v what_o satisfaction_n be_v necessary_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v give_v the_o state_n and_o both_o offer_v it_o yourselves_o and_o provoke_v other_o to_o do_v it_o not_o stand_v so_o scrupulous_o upon_o your_o general_n decree_n which_o sure_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v to_o bind_v in_o such_o extreme_a case_n even_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o general_a council_n we_o know_v oblige_v not_o where_o our_o obedience_n will_v ruin_v we_o and_o will_v you_o still_o more_o precise_o observe_v your_o own_o by-law_n than_o the_o sacred_a canon_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n methinks_v therefore_o in_o due_a satisfaction_n concern_v the_o pretence_n of_o the_o pope_n against_o the_o king_n whatever_o catholic_n doctor_n hold_v favourable_a to_o prince_n in_o these_o difference_n shall_v by_o you_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o subscribe_v and_o promise_v to_o be_v maintain_v with_o all_o your_o power_n as_o first_o the_o doctrine_n which_o deny_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v any_o authority_n in_o any_o case_n to_o depose_v or_o temporal_o molest_v the_o king_n or_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n likewise_o that_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o release_v any_o lawful_o make_v oath_n of_o allegiance_n or_o other_o promise_n to_o his_o majesty_n or_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n and_o because_o none_o of_o these_o or_o the_o like_a assertion_n can_v be_v strong_a and_o firm_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o he_o that_o hold_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n in_o determine_v point_n of_o faith_n but_o whenever_o the_o pope_n shall_v determine_v the_o contrary_a he_o must_v renounce_v what_o before_o he_o hold_v for_o good_a therefore_o you_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n moreover_o because_o if_o the_o pope_n by_o his_o own_o or_o any_o other_o authority_n may_v force_v his_o majesty_n subject_n to_o go_v into_o country_n where_o they_o can_v enjoy_v the_o protection_n of_o their_o prince_n the_o subject_n be_v not_o free_a to_o maintain_v these_o assertion_n therefore_o this_o position_n also_o that_o a_o subject_a to_o england_n be_v bind_v to_o appear_v before_o any_o foreign_a tribunal_n without_o his_o majesty_n consent_n be_v also_o to_o be_v condemn_v nor_o be_v it_o less_o necessary_a you_o shall_v express_o renounce_v the_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n and_o mental_a reservation_n without_o which_o all_o the_o
