ever_o you_o see_v that_o our_o case_n be_v different_a from_o the_o case_n of_o catholic_a prince_n for_o you_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v king_n for_o heresy_n or_o schism_n and_o this_o be_v a_o general_a tenant_n among_o you_o or_o for_o join_v in_o league_n and_o alliance_n with_o protestant_a state_n nay_o for_o notorious_a vice_n and_o some_o of_o you_o add_v even_o for_o

the_o pope_n party_n either_o foreign_a or_o domestical_a be_v strong_a than_o such_o a_o prince_n do_v you_o not_o hold_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v absolve_v the_o subject_n of_o such_o a_o king_n from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o have_v he_o not_o do_v it_o here_o in_o england_n do_v not_o his_o nuncio_n in_o spain_n solicit_v for_o many_o year_n together_o to_o have_v a_o armado_n send_v

for_o want_v of_o power_n to_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n and_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o both_o the_o pope_n and_o you_o do_v but_o expect_v a_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o blow_v up_o
