as_o i_o have_v now_o cite_v can_v agree_v with_o the_o brave_a style_n and_o title_n that_o bellarmine_n give_v they_o i_o can_v hardly_o conceive_v 1._o that_o king_n be_v rather_o slave_n than_o lord_n 7._o 2._o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_a subject_n to_o pope_n 7._o to_o bishop_n to_o priest_n but_o even_o to_o deacon_n 3._o ibidem_fw-la that_o a_o emperor_n must_v content_v himself_o to_o drink_v not_o only_o after_o a_o bishop_n but_o after_o a_o bishop_n chaplain_n 4._o 28._o that_o king_n have_v not_o their_o authority_n nor_o office_n immediate_o from_o god_n nor_o his_o law_n but_o only_o from_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n 5._o 16._o that_o pope_n have_v degrade_v many_o emperor_n but_o never_o emperor_n degrade_v the_o pope_n nay_o even_o 8._o bishop_n that_o be_v but_o the_o pope_n vassal_n may_v depose_v king_n and_o abrogate_v their_o law_n 6._o 8._o that_o churchman_n be_v so_o far_o above_o king_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v above_o the_o body_n 7._o 18._o that_o king_n may_v be_v depose_v by_o their_o people_n for_o diverse_a respect_n 8._o but_o pope_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v depose_v 26._o for_o no_o flesh_n have_v power_n to_o judge_v of_o they_o 9_o that_o obedience_n due_a to_o the_o pope_n 15._o be_v for_o conscience_n sake_n 10._o but_o the_o obedience_n due_a to_o king_n 28._o be_v only_o for_o certain_a respect_n of_o order_n and_o policy_n 11._o ibidem_fw-la that_o these_o very_a churchman_n that_o be_v bear_v and_o inhabit_v in_o sovereign_a prince_n country_n be_v notwithstanding_o not_o their_o subject_n and_o can_v be_v judge_v by_o they_o although_o they_o may_v judge_v they_o ibidem_fw-la 12._o and_o that_o the_o obedience_n that_o churchman_n give_v to_o prince_n even_o in_o the_o mean_a and_o mere_a temporal_a thing_n be_v not_o by_o way_n of_o any_o necessary_a subjection_n but_o only_o out_o of_o discretion_n and_o for_o observation_n of_o good_a order_n and_o custom_n these_o contrariety_n between_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o bellarmine_n book_n have_v i_o here_o set_v in_o opposition_n each_o to_o other_o ut_fw-la ex_fw-la contrarijs_fw-la iuxta_fw-la se_fw-la positis_fw-la veritas_fw-la magis_fw-la

confess_v that_o christ_n be_v no_o more_o contrary_a to_o beliall_n light_n to_o darkness_n and_o heaven_n to_o hell_n than_o bellarmine_n estimation_n of_o king_n be_v to_o god_n now_o as_o to_o

of_o martyrdom_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o answer_v save_v by_o way_n of_o regrate_a that_o so_o many_o good_a sentence_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n so_o well_o and_o so_o handsome_o pack_v
