spiritual_a power_n see_v therefore_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o card._n bellarmine_n affirm_v that_o temporal_a power_n among_o christian_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o they_o do_v make_v one_o total_a body_n or_o commonwealth_n as_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n do_v make_v one_o man_n and_o consequent_o the_o temporal_a power_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o

have_v power_n to_o command_v or_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o the_o material_a sword_n or_o rather_o without_o any_o positive_a or_o constitutive_a command_n of_o the_o church_n secular_a prince_n be_v

which_o card_n bellarmine_n himself_o gather_v from_o those_o word_n of_o s._n bernard_n who_o in_o this_o very_a place_n as_o you_o have_v see_v do_v affirm_v that_o s._n bernard_n and_o pope_n
