be_v learned_o and_o full_o prove_v by_o the_o late_a archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n in_o his_o disputation_n against_o fisher_n but_o that_o the_o inferior_a magistrate_n or_o people_n take_v it_o which_o way_n you_o will_v have_v this_o power_n i_o utter_o deny_v for_o which_o by_o your_o favour_n you_o have_v yet_o make_v no_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o my_o judgement_n indeed_o if_o you_o can_v have_v bring_v or_o can_v bring_v authority_n of_o scripture_n for_o this_o opinion_n i_o will_v and_o will_v yet_o with_o all_o reverence_n submit_v but_o as_o for_o your_o example_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o my_o mind_n they_o rather_o make_v for_o than_o against_o i_o all_o those_o reformation_n be_v make_v by_o king_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a probable_a though_o i_o will_v not_o say_v convince_a argument_n that_o if_o god_n will_v have_v approve_v of_o a_o popular_a reform_a way_n there_o be_v king_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n sufficient_o negligent_a and_o ill_a to_o

of_o god_n as_o i_o will_v regal_a authority_n i_o shall_v think_v all_o popular_a reformation_n little_o better_o than_o rebellion_n for_o i_o hold_v that_o no_o authority_n be_v lawful_a but_o that_o which_o be_v either_o direct_o give_v or_o at_o least_o approve_v by_o god_n second_o concern_v the_o english_a reformation_n the_o first_o reason_n you_o bring_v why_o q._n elizabeth_n do_v

of_o they_o maintain_v this_o walk_a position_n for_o some_o particular_n must_v not_o conclude_v the_o general_a for_o which_o you_o must_v find_v much_o better_a argument_n than_o their_o be_v
