supreme_o give_v they_o the_o late_a much_o more_o the_o jurisdiction_n they_o have_v to_o make_v temporal_a law_n to_o judge_v those_o that_o do_v against_o they_o and_o execute_v their_o sentence_n and_o in_o this_o we_o have_v see_v how_o the_o king_n as_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v judge_n and_o teacher_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o authorize_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n how_o as_o a_o

21._o three_o there_o be_v in_o truth_n more_o assume_v in_o the_o objection_n than_o there_o be_v warrant_n for_o in_o the_o act_n mention_v it_o do_v not_o appear_v there_o that_o the_o king_n be_v

think_v not_o only_o to_o be_v much_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o king_n prerogative_n royal_a and_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n but_o also_o overmuch_o onerous_a to_o his_o highness_n and_o his_o subject_n of_o those_o thing_n who_o can_v judge_v so_o well_o as_o the_o king_n with_o the_o assistance_n of_o some_o of_o the_o laity_n best_a verse_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n again_o the_o king_n be_v to_o add_v his_o authority_n to_o those_o canon_n to_o make_v they_o bind_v and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o know_v what_o he_o shall_v authorize_v

laity_n where_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o appeal_n be_v order_v by_o this_o act_n to_o be_v as_o be_v direct_v by_o a_o former_a act_n of_o the_o same_o parliament_n an._n 24_o h._n 8._o by_o which_o act_n where_o any_o cause_n of_o the_o law-divine_a or_o spiritual_a learning_n happen_v to_o come_v in_o question_n the_o body-spiritual_a of_o the_o realm_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v qualify_v and_o to_o have_v power_n to_o determine_v it_o and_o therefore_o to_o they_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v to_o be_v leave_v to_o return_v to_o our_o matter_n again_o since_o those_o parliament_n evident_o know_v their_o king_n be_v neither_o bishop_n nor_o priest_n which_o even_o in_o their_o thought_n be_v the_o same_o as_o not_o to_o have_v power_n to_o act_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n by_o our_o saviour_n immediate_a or_o mediate_a supernatural_a mission_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n they_o evident_o see_v he_o neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o pastoral_a power_n pure_o spiritual_a much_o less_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o that_o kind_n whatever_o the_o supremacy_n of_o that_o kind_n consist_v in_o hence_o they_o can_v never_o intend_v to_o give_v he_o what_o they_o see_v he_o can_v not_o have_v give_v to_o he_o nor_o signify_v any_o such_o gift_n or_o sense_n by_o their_o word_n in_o the_o act_n or_o oath_n but_o only_o a_o gift_n of_o the_o above-explicated_n power_n arise_v from_o nature_n and_o reason_n a_o legal_a power_n to_o exercise_v which_o as_o a_o governor_n they_o know_v he_o may_v have_v from_o they_o and_o to_o say_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o flatter_v he_o with_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o a_o power_n in_o he_o which_o they_o know_v be_v not_o in_o he_o be_v a_o fault_n that_o they_o can_v be_v prove_v guilty_a of_o especial_o when_o we_o remember_v their_o proviso_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o axiom_n every_o one_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v good_a till_o he_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v bad_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v acquit_v 23._o wherefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o be_v many_o way_n evident_a that_o the_o word_n in_o the_o affirmative_a part_n of_o the_o oath_n can_v mean_v any_o thing_n but_o supremacy_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o whether_o in_o temporal_a or_o spiritual_a thing_n can_v be_v exercise_v but_o by_o authority_n derive_v from_o the_o king_n and_o this_o supremacy_n be_v so_o evident_o he_o that_o he_o need_v not_o this_o act_n for_o it_o he_o have_v it_o from_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o as_o it_o be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o crown_n always_o have_v it_o even_o when_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n be_v at_o the_o high_a for_o though_o the_o bishop_n claim_v a_o independent_a power_n of_o their_o own_o yet_o as_o thing_n do_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v by_o not_o be_v acknowledge_v they_o true_o act_v under_o he_o and_o in_o virtue_n of_o his_o allowance_n and_o subject_a to_o his_o controll_n whenever_o he_o please_v to_o interpose_v as_o the_o statute_n of_o mortmain_n provision_n praemunire_n and_o the_o rest_n make_v in_o catholic_n time_n show_v he_o often_o do_v his_o pleasure_n and_o law_n carry_v it_o notwithstanding_o their_o pretence_n 24._o that_o they_o do_v mean_a only_o thus_o be_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n apparent_a by_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n by_o which_o any_o thing_n can_v appear_v and_o though_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v out_o of_o the_o oath_n itself_o and_o all_o the_o act_n which_o be_v any_o way_n order_v to_o establish_v the_o duty_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o it_o seem_v to_o force_v a_o persuasion_n that_o only_o royal_a power_n be_v require_v to_o be_v own_a by_o the_o affirmative_a clause_n i_o can_v leave_v this_o part_n till_o i_o put_v the_o reader_n in_o mind_n lest_o he_o shall_v suspect_v these_o reason_n fallacious_a as_o seem_v good_a one_o only_a to_o myself_o how_o both_o learned_a protestant_n and_o the_o protestant-church_n understand_v this_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o i_o allege_v then_o that_o all_o protestant_a author_n not_o one_o i_o think_v except_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n but_o of_o the_o sword_n which_o be_v in_o the_o king_n i_o can_v name_v several_a but_o choose_v to_o mention_v only_a doctor_n bramhal_o late_a archbishop_n of_o armagh_n because_o no_o body_n speak_v or_o i_o think_v can_v speak_v plain_o and_o what_o he_o say_v i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n his_o work_n be_v very_o late_o

thus_o in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v no_o power_n ascribe_v to_o our_o king_n but_o mere_o political_a and_o coactive_a to_o see_v that_o all_o their_o subject_n do_v their_o duty_n in_o their_o several_a place_n coactive_a power_n be_v one_o of_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n this_o may_v have_v be_v

so_o that_o no_o foreigner_n have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v any_o power_n to_o preach_v here_o for_o her_o have_v the_o whole_a power_n hinder_v any_o body_n from_o have_v any_o of_o it_o except_z

be_v no_o other_o than_o either_o this_o she_o have_v the_o rule_n here_o and_o no_o body_n have_v any_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o same_o as_o she_o have_v the_o rule_n and_o all_o the_o rule_n or_o else_o this_o she_o have_v all_o the_o rule_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o foreigner_n have_v any_o part_n of_o it_o as_o he_o pretend_v 37._o last_o from_o the_o queen_n say_v that_o she_o will_v accept_v of_o those_o that_o take_v the_o oath_n in_o the_o above_o say_a sense_n as_o her_o good_a and_o obedient_a subject_n which_o seem_v to_o signify_v that_o this_o oath_n be_v intend_v not_o to_o know_v of_o what_o religion_n people_n be_v but_o to_o know_v who_o be_v good_a and_o obedient_a subject_n which_o they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o without_o deny_v the_o pope_n preach_v power_n as_o with_o it_o hence_o it_o be_v extreme_o more_o probable_a at_o least_o that_o the_o admonition_n do_v not_o exclude_v the_o pastoral_n power_n than_o that_o it_o do_v and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o any_o one_o to_o say_v to_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n i_o intend_v to_o take_v this_o oath_n in_o the_o sense_n which_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o judgement_n be_v give_v it_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o as_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o my_o conscience_n in_o case_n there_o be_v no_o scandal_n for_o i_o in_o my_o conscience_n judge_n that_o the_o king_n have_v the_o rule_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o part_n of_o it_o and_o this_o only_o i_o acknowledge_v upon_o oath_n next_o i_o true_o say_v that_o this_o sense_n and_o no_o other_o be_v to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o judgement_n though_o this_o may_v possible_o be_v misinform_v the_o sense_n give_v it_o by_o law_n and_o in_o this_o and_o no_o other_o i_o take_v it_o so_o he_o can_v require_v no_o more_o of_o i_o who_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o and_o take_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n do_v my_o best_a to_o do_v both_o right_n and_o more_o over_o agree_v with_o almost_o all_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v all_o protestant_n author_n in_o hold_v this_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o
