therefore_o whosoever_o will_v right_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n without_o passion_n shall_v find_v that_o the_o pope_n go_v not_o about_o to_o bereave_v the_o state_n of_o venice_n of_o any_o

with_o the_o bondage_n of_o

absolute_o to_o be_v allow_v that_o that_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o all_o christendom_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o equivocation_n of_o the_o word_n christendom_n among_o the_o ancient_a writer_n we_o find_v he_o thus_o style_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n the_o successor_n of_o saint_n peter_n by_o some_o saint_n peter_n vicar_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n christ_n vicar_n god_n vicar_n head_n of_o the_o church_n fashion_n of_o speech_n which_o beget_v no_o ill_a meaning_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n christendom_n in_o this_o place_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o ambiguity_n and_o double_a sense_n which_o it_o have_v for_o it_o signify_v not_o only_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o the_o christian_a state_n and_o kingdom_n and_o this_o latter_a signification_n be_v the_o more_o usual_a as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o asia_n or_o egypt_n be_v not_o within_o christendom_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v no_o christian_a church_n in_o they_o but_o that_o they_o be_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o temporal_a state_n of_o the_o christian_n so_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o under_o this_o new_a form_n of_o speech_n the_o fallacy_n be_v hide_v for_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n that_o be_v have_v the_o government_n &_o command_n in_o temporal_a matter_n over_o all_o christian_a state_n and_o prince_n let_v we_o therefore_o keep_v our_o ancient_a form_n and_o let_v we_o call_v he_o head_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o see_v the_o author_n drift_n be_v out_o of_o this_o whole_a discourse_n to_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n that_o where_o prince_n use_v their_o power_n to_o the_o hurt_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n or_o their_o people_n and_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o pope_n may_v take_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n to_o redress_v it_o although_o we_o have_v speak_v much_o of_o this_o point_n before_o in_o the_o exposition_n of_o
