that_o holiday_n be_v allow_v by_o his_o church_n we_o know_v whoever_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o not_o of_o external_n communion_n till_o he_o actual_o submit_v to_o it_o and_o i_o think_v it_o seem_v obscure_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v interpret_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o government_n of_o a_o church_n of_o such_o a_o discipline_n by_o my_o very_a be_v baptise_a into_o a_o church_n of_o a_o contrary_a one_o beside_o follower_n of_o those_o who_o begin_v the_o division_n be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o form_n of_o church-condemnation_n

read_v any_o author_n that_o express_o say_v a_o magistrate_n so_o circumstantiate_v may_v be_v depose_v by_o the_o pope_n especial_o since_o i_o remember_v not_o one_o instance_n ancient_n or_o

by_o the_o people_n sometime_o by_o a_o eminent_a subject_n sometime_o by_o a_o powerful_a stranger_n and_o the_o ground_n pretend_v be_v sometime_o religion_n sometime_o some_o other_o cause_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o consult_v your_o judgement_n viii_o whether_o those_o example_n may_v not_o all_o be_v resolve_v either_o by_o the_o general_n answer_v that_o fact_n make_v no_o right_a or_o that_o they_o be_v practise_v without_o any_o ordinary_a and_o acknowledge_a jurisdiction_n but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o common_a reason_n and_o natural_a prudence_n which_o teach_v we_o in_o extremity_n to_o cast_v about_o and_o relieve_v ourselves_o in_o the_o best_a and_o hopeful_a way_n we_o can_v according_a to_o our_o circumstance_n for_o though_o by_o this_o almighty_a maxim_n of_o extreme_a and_o lawless_a necessity_n even_o pope_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o governor_n have_v sometime_o be_v depose_v yet_o i_o clear_o believe_v neither_o pope_n nor_o council_n nor_o king_n nor_o noble_n nor_o people_n nor_o stranger_n have_v any_o dormant_n commission_n from_o heaven_n that_o constitute_v in_o any_o of_o they_o a_o formal_a and_o authorotative_a tribunal_n to_o decide_v jurisdictional_o who_o shall_v be_v pope_n or_o king_n to_o make_v this_o distinction_n on_o which_o the_o whole_a controversy_n chief_o depend_v unmistakable_o plain_a and_o evident_a let_v i_o parallel_v the_o grand_a instance_n of_o pope_n and_o king_n with_o the_o little_a one_o of_o private_a person_n when_o we_o say_v as_o i_o think_v every_o christian_n do_v that_o it_o be_v impious_a and_o heretical_a to_o hold_v one_o neighbour_n can_v take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o another_o though_o he_o never_o so_o much_o deserve_v it_o in_o reference_n to_o what_o power_n do_v we_o speak_v be_v it_o not_o to_o that_o kind_a of_o power_n which_o be_v ordinary_o create_v by_o commission_n can_v we_o be_v fair_o interpret_v to_o mean_v some_o odd_a extravagant_a case_n of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o defend_v our_o own_o life_n against_o his_o otherwise_o unavoidable_a assault_n so_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o depose_v king_n we_o be_v plain_o to_o understand_v a_o power_n and_o authority_n vest_v in_o st._n peter_n and_o his_o successor_n by_o commission_n from_o christ_n this_o and_o this_o only_a i_o conceive_v be_v the_o authority_n we_o be_v command_v to_o abjure_v and_o unless_o such_o a_o divine_a commission_n be_v show_v i_o can_v see_v why_o to_o assert_v such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o impious_a and_o heretical_a as_o much_o and_o far_o more_o than_o the_o instance_n of_o private_a murder_n especial_o the_o oath_n so_o particular_o express_v its_o chief_a intent_n to_o be_v the_o exclusion_n of_o the_o pope_n pretence_n and_o prevention_n of_o the_o mischief_n natural_o apprehend_v from_o the_o supreme_a and_o all-commanding_a jurisdiction_n of_o a_o foreiner_n have_v peruse_v some_o author_n who_o confident_o say_v never_o any_o orthodox_n divine_a maintain_v this_o transcendent_a power_n in_o the_o pope_n nor_o ever_o any_o such_o practice_n appear_v for_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n though_o the_o christian_n long_o before_o that_o time_n have_v both_o strength_n enough_o to_o do_v it_o if_o they_o have_v have_v a_o will_n and_o zeal_n enough_o to_o have_v will_v it_o if_o they_o have_v think_v it_o lawful_a i_o can_v but_o suspect_v this_o doctrine_n of_o novelty_n till_o you_o be_v please_v to_o inform_v i_o ix_o what_o eminent_a writer_n there_o be_v in_o the_o first_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n who_o express_o hold_v this_o tenet_n of_o the_o pope_n authority_n to_o depose_v prince_n this_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o conceive_v so_o much_o the_o more_o improbable_a to_o be_v find_v because_o neither_o s._n tho._n nor_o card_n bellarmine_n cite_v any_o ancient_a author_n than_o gregory_n the_o seven_o who_o papacy_n be_v of_o a_o young_a date_n than_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o much_o young_a yet_o be_v the_o council_n of_o lateran_n nor_o can_v it_o with_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o truth_n be_v allege_v for_o any_o more_o than_o a_o canonical_a constitution_n and_o perhaps_o not_o so_o much_o till_o the_o difficulty_n concern_v it_o be_v clear_v which_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o doctor_n and_o only_o contend_v it_o be_v at_o best_a no_o more_o else_o the_o defender_n of_o papal_a deposition_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v its_o decree_n in_o this_o point_n as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o condemn_v the_o french_a university_n as_o heretical_a and_o separate_v from_o their_o communion_n if_o then_o it_o be_v only_o a_o ecclesiastical_a canon_n it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v such_o law_n be_v not_o oblige_v but_o where_o they_o be_v receive_v and_o where_o they_o be_v receive_v may_v on_o just_a ground_n be_v again_o reject_v however_o even_o where_o that_o canon_n be_v admit_v if_o any_o where_o it_o be_v no_o fair_a interpreter_n can_v extend_v it_o to_o reach_v so_o high_a as_o sovereign_a prince_n to_o who_o this_o respect_n be_v general_o by_o the_o canonist_n esteem_v due_a that_o unless_o they_o be_v express_o name_v they_o be_v not_o by_o implication_n understand_v to_o be_v comprehend_v in_o any_o penal_a or_o restrictive_a clause_n a_o civility_n allow_v even_o to_o cardinal_n who_o i_o can_v think_v any_o disinterest_v considerer_n will_v prefer_v before_o king_n as_o for_o reason_n which_o i_o confess_v where_o it_o be_v evident_a needs_o no_o antiquity_n to_o gain_v my_o assent_n i_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o any_o that_o bid_v so_o fair_a towards_o satisfaction_n as_o this_o argument_n if_o the_o end_n be_v subordinate_a to_o one_o another_o the_o faculty_n be_v but_o the_o end_n of_o civil_a power_n temporal_a happiness_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o end_n of_o spiritual_a power_n eternal_a happiness_n therefore_o the_o civil_a power_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o spiritual_a let_v all_o this_o be_v suppose_v as_o true_a though_o there_o want_v not_o distinction_n by_o which_o some_o endeavour_n to_o relieve_v themselves_o in_o this_o point_n too_o i_o only_o inquire_v how_o this_o spiritual_a superior_a must_v proceed_v when_o the_o temporal_a magistrate_n intolerable_o misdemean_v himself_o &_o i_o think_v he_o be_v confine_v as_o his_o very_a name_n
