of_o body_n for_o subject_n ought_v not_o to_o deny_v their_o obedience_n to_o a_o excommunicate_a king_n the_o second_o argument_n may_v right_o be_v conclude_v in_o this_o form_n as_o the_o

the_o catholic_a church_n as_o have_v be_v say_v yet_o it_o can_v take_v from_o he_o the_o right_a and_o authority_n to_o reign_v and_o so_o the_o figure_n do_v very_o fit_o convene_v with_o the_o
