will_v be_v nothing_o dangerous_a to_o handle_v it_o probable_o against_o a_o other_o as_o for_o example_n if_o it_o be_v agree_v upon_o by_o all_o catholic_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n

that_o all_o catholic_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o forsake_v his_o majesty_n and_o to_o bear_v arm_n against_o he_o in_o case_n the_o pope_n shall_v depose_v he_o i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o

be_v in_o no_o danger_n to_o loose_v but_o rather_o to_o gain_v temporal_a advancement_n thereby_o 9_o my_o second_o reason_n be_v to_o assure_v his_o majesty_n that_o all_o english_a catholic_n may_n according_a to_o the_o ground_n of_o catholic_a religion_n be_v true_a and_o constant_a subject_n and_o that_o notwithstanding_o any_o sentence_n of_o excommunication_n or_o deprivation_n denounce_v or_o to_o be_v denounce_v against_o his_o majesty_n by_o the_o pope_n they_o may_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n mark_v well_o what_o i_o say_v and_o also_o in_o practice_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v to_o his_o majesty_n and_o obey_v he_o in_o temporal_n as_o still_o remain_v their_o true_a and_o lawful_a sovereign_n and_o to_o resist_v any_o such_o sentence_n of_o excommunication_n or_o deprivation_n the_o reason_n wherefore_o i_o affirm_v that_o catholic_n might_n with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n adhere_v to_o his_o majesty_n and_o resist_v the_o pope_n sentence_n of_o deprivation_n be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o probable_a opinion_n and_o which_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n and_o without_o danger_n of_o heresy_n error_n or_o temerity_n may_v be_v embrace_v by_o catholic_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o depose_v prince_n nor_o to_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n by_o way_n of_o coërtion_n but_o that_o the_o last_o punishment_n to_o which_o the_o ecclesiastical_a power_n be_v extend_v be_v only_o ecclesiastical_a and_o spiritual_a censure_n wherefore_o that_o which_o this_o author_n affirm_v that_o i_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v prince_n be_v untrue_a unless_o he_o mean_v that_o i_o confess_v it_o for_o disputation_n sake_n or_o as_o we_o usual_o say_v dato_n non_fw-la concesso_fw-la it_o be_v give_v not_o grant_v for_o that_o it_o make_v nothing_o for_o or_o against_o the_o question_n which_o be_v in_o hand_n therefore_o positive_o i_o neither_o affirm_v it_o nor_o deny_v it_o neither_o with_o that_o part_n of_o the_o contradiction_n whether_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o oath_n may_v not_o be_v take_v do_v i_o intermeddle_v but_o whereas_o our_o adversary_n do_v with_o so_o great_a violence_n maintain_v that_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o a_o undoubted_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v and_o that_o the_o oath_n can_v be_v take_v i_o at_o this_o present_a do_v affirm_v the_o contrary_a that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v and_o that_o the_o oath_n may_v lawful_o be_v take_v neither_o do_v i_o as_o this_o author_n impose_v upon_o i_o take_v probable_a in_o that_o sense_n as_o cicero_n in_o his_o paradox_n do_v take_v it_o when_o he_o affirm_v that_o nothing_o be_v so_o incredible_a which_o by_o argue_v may_v not_o be_v make_v probable_a take_v probable_a for_o that_o which_o have_v some_o show_n or_o colour_n of_o probability_n or_o do_v i_o take_v probable_a for_o that_o which_o i_o hold_v for_o probable_a howsoever_o absurd_v it_o be_v as_o this_o author_n absurd_o affirm_v that_o without_o doubt_n i_o do_v but_o i_o do_v take_v probable_a in_o that_o sense_n as_o divine_n do_v take_v a_o probable_a opinion_n and_o which_o may_v be_v follow_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n as_o i_o declare_v out_o of_o vasquez_n and_o hereafter_o against_o this_o author_n and_o his_o confuse_a description_n of_o probable_a which_o serve_v only_o to_o entangle_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o simple_a i_o will_v more_o at_o large_a declare_v in_o which_o sense_n no_o heresy_n or_o erroneous_a doctrine_n can_v be_v make_v probable_a the_o contrary_a be_v decide_v by_o the_o church_n as_o this_o doctrine_n for_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v never_o be_v but_o have_v ever_o be_v impugn_a by_o catholic_a writer_n upon_o sufficient_a ground_n and_o now_o late_o condemn_v by_o the_o state_n of_o
