a_o easy_a answer_n to_o this_o charge_n since_o that_o law_n have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o spiritual_a authority_n matter_n of_o law_n be_v thing_n of_o too_o delicate_a a_o nature_n for_o so_o

can_v not_o but_o be_v feeble_a since_o they_o have_v two_o such_o treacherous_a head_n as_o cranmer_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o lee_n archbishop_n of_o york_n so_o they_o make_v a_o

and_o lee_n of_o york_n be_v so_o far_o from_o consent_v to_o it_o that_o he_o struggle_v long_o against_o it_o after_o warham_n and_o his_o synod_n have_v pass_v it_o and_o whereas_o he_o pretend_v that_o the_o king_n draw_v his_o pretence_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o a_o general_a acknowledgement_n that_o they_o have_v make_v of_o the_o king_n authority_n over_o
