Who be schismatikes; and of the chiefe poincts of religion. How we are to iudge of the schisme in Christendome at this day.

action_n approve_v that_o such_o be_v their_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n how_o the_o magistrate_n have_v a_o just_a &_o lawful_a vocation_n from_o god_n to_o condemn_v and_o put_v to_o death_n the_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n and_o that_o if_o he_o neglect_v or_o refuse_v to_o execute_v this_o his_o duty_n be_v able_a to_o perform_v the_o same_o he_o than_o misregard_v and_o offend_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o his_o own_o call_n and_o deserve_v blame_v and_o punishment_n but_o withal_o they_o affirm_v and_o maintain_v that_o before_o the_o magistrate_n proceed_v to_o such_o

only_o lawful_a but_o also_o necessary_a to_o deliver_v they_o over_o to_o death_n they_o affirm_v also_o that_o as_o for_o themselves_o they_o be_v never_o call_v nor_o hear_v in_o a_o counsel_n free_a and_o assure_v for_o they_o they_o have_v not_o be_v convince_v by_o holy_a scripture_n that_o when_o you_o call_v they_o it_o be_v only_o to_o hear_v their_o condemnation_n the_o judge_n to_o
