the_o negative_a than_o the_o affirmative_a shall_v we_o see_v that_o our_o parliament_n do_v countenance_n so_o much_o the_o negative_a of_o a_o opinion_n as_o the_o forementioned_a assembly_n of_o

this_o point_n consider_v first_o that_o neither_o that_o parliament_n nor_o any_o other_o parliament_n of_o france_n neither_o that_o university_n nor_o any_o other_o university_n of_o that_o

of_o that_o kingdom_n do_v approve_v this_o oath_n for_o to_o approve_v a_o oath_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o approve_v all_o and_o every_o part_n thereof_o and_o who_o only_o approve_v one_o part_n

that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n to_o depose_v king_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o great_a difficulty_n about_o the_o word_n heretical_a for_o it_o seem_v hard_o unto_o they_o to_o censure_v the_o
