the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o thus_o it_o run_v in_o our_o english_a version_n of_o it_o 165._o whosoever_o shall_v hereafter_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n majesty_n have_v not_o the_o same_o

of_o it_o and_o two_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o will_v deserve_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o this_o second_o canon_n first_o what_o that_o supremacy_n be_v which_o our_o convocation_n be_v so_o careful_a to_o assert_v and_o defend_v and_o second_o what_o it_o be_v to_o impugn_v this_o supremacy_n within_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o canon_n first_o as_o for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o the_o supremacy_n here_o mean_v two_o rule_n there_o be_v deliver_v by_o this_o canon_n whereby_o we_o may_v come_v to_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o it_o first_o it_o be_v that_o authority_n over_o the_o estate_n ecclesiastical_a which_o by_o the_o statute_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o and_o king_n edward_n the_o six_o be_v restore_v and_o by_o the_o act_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n confirm_v as_o of_o right_o belong_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o second_o it_o be_v such_o a_o power_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o godly_a king_n have_v among_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_a emperor_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o from_o which_o by_o the_o way_n it_o may_v be_v observe_v what_o good_a reason_n i_o have_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o christian_a emperor_n in_o these_o case_n 126._o and_o to_o argue_v from_o thence_o in_o behalf_n of_o that_o power_n which_o our_o church_n ascribe_v to_o our_o own_o prince_n on_o the_o like_a occasion_n how_o much_o soever_o some_o man_n may_v slight_v such_o proof_n as_o be_v sensible_a that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v answer_v second_o to_o impugn_v this_o supremacy_n within_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o canon_n be_v either_o first_o to_o deny_v altogether_o this_o authority_n and_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n either_o have_v not_o or_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o such_o power_n or_o it_o be_v second_o by_o any_o other_o mean_v to_o impeach_v or_o as_o the_o latin_a canon_n have_v it_o more_o plain_o to_o extenuate_v or_o hurt_v this_o supremacy_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v then_o do_v when_o man_n write_v and_o argue_v against_o it_o when_o they_o censure_v the_o law_n for_o establish_v of_o it_o and_o damn_v the_o prince_n 176._o so_o long_o as_o he_o shall_v continue_v to_o exercise_n it_o according_a to_o those_o law_n but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o only_a canon_n which_o justify_v what_o i_o have_v write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o condemn_v those_o who_o appear_v against_o it_o the_o twelve_o be_v yet_o more_o express_a to_o my_o particular_a case_n and_o will_v show_v what_o the_o sense_n

their_o wicked_a and_o anabaptistical_n error_n for_o if_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o our_o church_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o clergy_n to_o have_v authority_n from_o the_o king_n to_o meet_v on_o such_o occasion_n if_o to_o say_v that_o any_o person_n of_o what_o order_n soever_o they_o be_v may_v without_o his_o licence_n make_v any_o canon_n decree_n or_o constitution_n ecclesiastical_a
