no_o equivocation_n 3_o three_o the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o this_o branch_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o former_a clause_n for_o if_o none_o of_o the_o former_a clause_n contain_v a_o denial_n of_o any_o spiritual_a obedience_n due_a to_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n nor_o be_v repugnant_a to_o truth_n or_o justice_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v minister_v by_o lawful_a authority_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v first_o prove_v that_o some_o one_o of_o the_o former_a clause_n be_v repugnant_a to_o truth_n or_o justice_n before_o you_o can_v impugn_v the_o oath_n as_o not_o minister_v by_o lawful_a authority_n whereupon_o you_o return_v back_o to_o that_o which_o you_o above_o object_v against_o the_o second_o branch_n to_o wit_n the_o pope_n power_n

to_o be_v unlawful_a do_v wrong_v himself_o the_o church_n his_o majesty_n and_o this_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o those_o english_a catholic_n that_o bend_v their_o wit_n to_o find_v out_o scruple_n
