the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n because_o it_o may_v be_v destroy_v by_o the_o act_n of_o the_o party_n themselves_o if_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n do_v afterward_o act_v contrary_a to_o this_o

continue_v in_o force_n still_o since_o the_o reformation_n i_o think_v not_o upon_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o canon-law_n be_v found_v upon_o a_o superstitious_a fancy_n viz._n that_o

because_o it_o argue_v a_o want_n of_o perfect_a lenity_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o case_n they_o allow_v which_o do_v not_o incur_v irregularity_n and_o those_o they_o do_v not_o allow_v which_o do_v incur_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v all_o this_o stir_n in_o the_o canon-law_n about_o this_o matter_n to_o be_v only_o a_o superstitious_a kind_n of_o hypocrisy_n 1._o if_o a_o man_n in_o

nature_n to_o prevent_v irregularity_n for_o they_o say_v if_o it_o be_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o prevent_v the_o ruin_n of_o his_o country_n although_o the_o cause_n be_v never_o so_o just_a a_o clergyman_n that_o dismember_v or_o take_v away_o another_o life_n be_v irregular_a 3._o if_o a_o clergyman_n discover_v treason_n or_o accuse_v another_o for_o treason_n without_o a_o protestation_n that_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o with_o a_o design_n to_o have_v he_o punish_v he_o be_v irregular_a but_o if_o he_o make_v that_o protestation_n although_o death_n

irregular_a nigh_o although_o he_o beat_v they_o if_o they_o will_v not_o fight_v but_o if_o he_o happen_v to_o kill_v a_o enemy_n himself_o than_o he_o be_v 5._o if_o he_o give_v a_o soldier_n a_o

only_o with_o a_o general_a intention_n that_o he_o shall_v overcome_v he_o be_v not_o this_o be_v somewhat_o a_o nice_a case_n the_o canonist_n take_v more_o than_o usual_a pain_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o from_o hence_o they_o defend_v their_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n in_o the_o indies_n who_o carry_v the_o cross_n before_o their_o army_n into_o the_o field_n and_o encourage_v they_o to_o kill_v all_o they_o can_v and_o yet_o navarr_n say_v they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v irregular_a that_o they_o be_v regularissimi_fw-la as_o his_o word_n be_v 6._o if_o a_o man_n to_o gain_v a_o

before_o it_o be_v throw_v into_o the_o fire_n than_o he_o be_v not_o 7._o if_o a_o man_n in_o order_n help_v a_o chirurgeon_n in_o cut_v off_o a_o man_n leg_n he_o be_v not_o irregular_a but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v just_o condemn_v to_o have_v his_o leg_n cut_v off_o if_o he_o than_o give_v any_o assistence_n he_o be_v irregular_a because_o the_o one_o be_v move_v out_o of_o mercy_n and_o the_o
