a_o protestation_n of_o the_o king_n svpremacie_n make_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o afflict_a minister_n and_o oppose_v to_o the_o shameful_a calumniation_n of_o the_o prelate_n psa_fw-la 7.3.5_o o_o lord_n my_o god_n if_o i_o have_v do_v this_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v any_o wickedness_n in_o my_o hand_n then_o let_v the_o enemy_n persecute_v my_o soul_n and_o take_v it_o let_v he_o tread_v

heavy_a sentaunce_n against_o the_o most_o harmless_a subject_n in_o the_o kingdom_n as_o enemy_n to_o the_o supremacy_n and_o state_n whereas_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o no_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n give_v more_o unto_o the_o same_o then_o we_o and_o that_o in_o very_a truth_n the_o cause_n that_o we_o maintain_v be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o civil_a state_n against_o a_o ecclesiastical_a state_n that_o secret_o and_o in_o a_o mystery_n as_o we_o may_v hereafter_o have_v occasion_n to_o prove_v oppose_v itself_o against_o the_o same_o if_o this_o protestation_n shall_v in_o any_o measure_n satisfy_v you_o then_o we_o desire_v your_o honourable_a mediation_n for_o we_o to_o the_o high_a if_o not_o that_o then_o we_o may_v know_v wherein_o it_o be_v defective_a and_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v ready_a to_o give_v all_o satisfaction_n a_o protestation_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n we_o hold_v and_o maintain_v the_o same_o authority_n &_o supremacy_n in_o all_o cause_n and_o over_o all_o person_n civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a grant_v by_o statute_n to_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o express_v and_o declare_v in_o the_o book_n of_o advertisement_n &_o

and_o successor_n for_o ever_o neither_o be_v their_o to_o our_o knowledge_n any_o one_o of_o we_o but_o be_v and_o ever_o have_v be_v most_o willinge_v to_o subscrib_n and_o swear_v unto_o the_o same_o accord_v to_o form_n of_o statute_n and_o we_o desire_v that_o those_o that_o shall_v refuse_v the_o same_o may_v bear_v their_o own_o iniqutie_n 2_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o judge_v the_o say_a supremacy_n to_o be_v unlawful_a that_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v sin_v high_o against_o god_n ●s_v he_o shall_v not_o assume_v the_o same_o unto_o himself_o &_o that_o the_o church_n within_o his_o dominion_n shall_v sine_z damnablie_o if_o they_o shall_v deny_v to_o yield_v the_o same_o unto_o he_o yea_o though_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v deny_v it_o unto_o he_o 3_o we_o hold_v it_o plain_a antichristianisme_n for_o any_o church_n or_o church_n officer_n whatsoever_o either_o to_o arrogate_v or_o assume_v unto_o themselves_o any_o part_n or_o parcel_n thereof_o and_o utter_o unlawful_a for_o the_o king_n to_o give_v away_o or_o alienate_v the_o same_o from_o his_o own_o crown_n and_o dignity_n to_o any_o spiritual_a potentate_n or_o ruler_n whatsoever_o within_o or_o without_o his_o dominion_n 4_o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n of_o this_o realm_n wear_v no_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o very_a infidel_n you_o and_o persecutor_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o yet_o those_o church_n that_o shall_v be_v gather_v together_o within_o thes_n dominion_n ought_v to_o acknowledge_v &_o yield_v the_o say_a supremacy_n unto_o they_o and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o their_o faith_n and_o christianity_n but_o to_o their_o very_a crown_n from_o which_o no_o subject_n or_o subject_n have_v power_n to_o separate_v or_o disjoin_v it_o 5_o we_o hold_v that_o nether_a king_n nor_o civil_a state_n be_v bind_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o any_o ecclesiastical_a person_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o no_o further_o than_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o convince_v their_o conscience_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o we_o think_v they_o shall_v sin_v against_o god_n if_o they_o shall_v ground_v their_o religion_n or_o any_o part_n or_o parcel_n thereof_o upon_o the_o bare_a testimony_n or_o judgement_n of_o any_o man_n or_o of_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n 6_o we_o hold_v that_o no_o church_n or_o church_n officer_n have_v power_n for_o any_o crime_n whatsoever_o to_o deprive_v the_o king_n of_o the_o least_o of_o his_o royal_a prerogatius_a whatsoever_o much_o less_o to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o supremacy_n wherein_o the_o height_n of_o his_o royal_a dignity_n consist_v 7_o we_o hold_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n concern_v this_o life_n whatsoever_o the_o civil_a jurisdiction_n of_o king_n and_o civil_a state_n excel_v &_o aught_o to_o have_v pre-eminence_n over_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a nether_a have_v nor_o aught_o to_o have_v any_o power_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n over_o the_o body_n life_n good_n or_o liberty_n of_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o much_o less_o of_o the_o king_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o earth_n 8_o we_o hold_v that_o king_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o supremacy_n have_v power_n yea_o also_o that_o they_o stand_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o make_v law_n ecclesiastical_a such_o as_o shall_v tend_v to_o the_o good_a order_n of_o the_o church_n in_o their_o dominion_n and_o that_o the_o church_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v dissobedient_a to_o any_o of_o their_o law_n so_o far_o as_o in_o obedience_n unto_o they_o they_o do_v not_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 9_o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n shall_v command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n unto_o the_o church_n that_o yet_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o resist_v he_o therein_o but_o only_o peaceable_o to_o forbear_v obedience_n and_o sue_v unto_o he_o for_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o where_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v meek_o to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o punishment_n 10_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v power_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o supremacy_n to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n whatsoever_o he_o shall_v discern_v to_o be_v practise_v therein_o not_o a_o greable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v see_v any_o defect_n either_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n he_o ought_v by_o his_o royal_a authority_n &_o power_n to_o procure_v and_o force_v the_o redress_n thereof_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v without_o the_o consent_n and_o a_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n themselves_o 11_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v as_o much_o author_n itie_n over_o the_o body_n good_n &_o affair_n of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n as_o of_o any_o other_o of_o his_o subject_n whosoever_o and_o that_o by_o his_o authority_n he_o may_v force_v they_o not_o only_o to_o all_o civyll_a duty_n belong_v unto_o they_o but_o also_o unto_o all_o ecclesiastical_a afflict_v as_o great_a punishment_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o neglect_n thereof_o as_o upon_o any_o other_o of_o his_o subject_n 12_o we_o hold_v that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n all_o scandalous_a scismaticall_a &_o heretical_a teacher_n and_o by_o all_o due_a severity_n of_o law_n to_o repress_v they_o 13_o we_o hold_v that_o all_o ecclesiastical_a law_n make_v by_o the_o king_n not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n bound_v the_o conscience_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o no_o subject_a aught_o to_o refuse_v obedience_n to_o any_o such_o law_n 14_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n only_o have_v power_n within_o his_o dominion_n to_o couvene_v synod_n or_o general_a assembly_n of_o minister_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n royal_a to_o ratisie_n and_o give_v life_n and_o strength_n to_o their_o canon_n and_o conslitution_n without_o who_o ratification_n no_o man_n can_v force_v any_o subject_n to_o yield_v any_o obedience_n unto_o the_o same_o 15_o we_o hold_v that_o though_o the_o king_n may_v force_v the_o church_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o
