in_o this_o my_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o emperor_n frederick_n for_o whereas_o i_o argue_v thus_o as_o you_o have_v see_v before_o that_o because_o the_o emperor_n frederick_n enact_v the_o self_n same_o law_n five_o year_n after_o and_o use_v the_o very_a same_o word_n which_o the_o council_n do_v use_v to_o wit_n a_o temporal_a &_o principal_a landlord_n governor_n or_o also_o lord_n and_o not_o have_v a_o principal_a landlord_n governor_n or_o lord_n &_o change_v only_o spiritual_a penalty_n into_o temporal_a neither_o do_v nor_o can_v by_o those_o word_n comprehend_v king_n or_o absolute_a prince_n therefore_o from_o thence_o it_o may_v be_v probable_o collect_v that_o those_o word_n in_o the_o council_n can_v not_o ex_fw-la vi_fw-la sva_fw-la by_o force_n of_o the_o word_n comprehend_v king_n and_o sovereign_a prince_n who_o in_o penal_a law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v under_o general_a word_n unless_o they_o be_v express_v by_o

as_o any_o man_n of_o judgement_n may_v clear_o perceive_v for_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v beneath_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n why_o mr._n fitzherbert_n affirm_v that_o frederickes_n constitution_n do_v not_o by_o those_o general_n word_n comprehend_v king_n and_o absolute_a prince_n i_o also_o affirm_v that_o king_n and_o absolute_a prince_n be_v not_o under_o those_o general_a word_n

the_o reader_n may_v clear_o perceive_v that_o the_o argument_n i_o bring_v from_o the_o emperor_n constitution_n be_v not_o absurd_a but_o very_o probable_a and_o that_o the_o absurdity_n which_o

of_o temporal_a punishment_n 42_o wherefore_o i_o do_v not_o restrain_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o canon_n to_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o emperor_n temporal_a power_n as_o mr._n fitzherbert_n very_o

defence_n of_o his_o breve_n against_o his_o majesty_n apology_n for_o the_o oath_n but_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n understand_v the_o oath_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o though_o it_o deny_v the_o pope_n primacy_n in_o spiritual_n his_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v to_o bind_v and_o loose_v and_o also_o to_o dispense_v in_o oath_n in_o which_o sense_n doubtless_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o contain_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v flat_a contrary_n to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n but_o no_o catholic_a do_v in_o this_o sense_n either_o take_v the_o oath_n or_o defend_v it_o to_o be_v
