servile_a work_n upon_o sunday_n and_o holiday_n which_o if_o they_o be_v not_o forbid_v by_o humane_a law_n will_v not_o be_v unlawful_a and_o although_o a_o constitutive_a precept_n of_o humane_a power_n may_v sometime_o bind_v with_o danger_n of_o some_o great_a temporal_a loss_n as_o of_o good_n liberty_n yea_o also_o of_o life_n yet_o the_o ecclesiastical_a law_n set_v aside_o scandal_n and_o contempt_n which_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n do_v seldom_o or_o never_o bind_v with_o very_o great_a temporal_a harm_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o abstain_v from_o flesh_n in_o lent_n or_o from_o do_v servile_a work_n upon_o sunday_n and_o holiday_n when_o we_o be_v like_a to_o incur_v thereby_o any_o probable_a danger_n of_o some_o great_a

manifest_a by_o the_o example_n of_o gedeon_n for_o when_o gedeon_n be_v a_o judge_n in_o israel_n the_o israelite_n be_v desirous_a to_o exalt_v he_o to_o great_a honour_n for_o the_o great_a

upon_o the_o people_n but_o they_o live_v upon_o their_o own_o proper_a revenue_n as_o other_o private_a person_n except_o those_o thing_n which_o by_o right_n appertain_v to_o they_o in_o war_n because_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n among_o all_o nation_n that_o in_o war_n a_o certain_a peculiar_a part_n of_o the_o spoil_n shall_v belong_v to_o the_o prince_n or_o chief_a captain_n as_o it_o

and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o king_n and_o judge_n for_o king_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o they_o have_v power_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o will_v which_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n therefore_o they_o call_v the_o israelite_n their_o servant_n as_o saul_n call_v david_n his_o servant_n 1._o reg._n 22._o and_o david_n call_v the_o

that_o they_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o camp_n every_o leper_n it_o follow_v evident_o that_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o the_o supreme_a head_n of_o the_o king_n in_o temporall_n nor_o king_n therein_o

temporal_a punishment_n have_v force_n to_o bind_v and_o the_o answer_n of_o almain_n and_o of_o many_o other_o catholic_a doctor_n will_v be_v still_o ready_a at_o hand_n that_o the_o pope_n by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n have_v only_a authority_n to_o inflict_v spiritual_a punishment_n as_o excommunication_n suspension_n interdict_v and_o that_o the_o other_o punishment_n which_o he_o

because_o all_o of_o they_o being_n domini_fw-la temporales_fw-la be_v subject_a alike_o to_o the_o decree_n of_o a_o general_a council_n 41_o true_a it_o be_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o clear_a

the_o reader_n may_v clear_o perceive_v that_o the_o argument_n i_o bring_v from_o the_o emperor_n constitution_n be_v not_o absurd_a but_o very_o probable_a and_o that_o the_o absurdity_n which_o

that_o the_o pope_n may_v upon_o just_a cause_n dispose_v of_o the_o dominion_n of_o all_o christian_a prince_n and_o of_o all_o temporal_a thing_n for_o that_o he_o express_o teach_v that_o the_o

the_o old_a testament_n priest_n do_v make_v war_n and_o fight_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o israelite_n against_o their_o enemy_n but_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n priest_n do_v abstain_v from_o

who_o wicked_a athalia_fw-la have_v treacherous_o slay_v although_o athalia_fw-la do_v tyrannical_o usurp_v the_o possession_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v not_o unusual_a for_o one_o to_o possess_v

aught_o to_o do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n for_o see_v that_o for_o his_o innocent_a life_n opinion_n of_o sanctity_n and_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o office_n he_o be_v in_o great_a veneration_n among_o the_o people_n and_o peer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n his_o authority_n or_o favour_n do_v prevail_v so_o much_o with_o they_o that_o all_o man_n with_o uniform_a consent_n will_v very_o easy_o

any_o authority_n in_o he_o to_o create_v a_o king_n who_o by_o right_n be_v not_o a_o lawful_a king_n before_o 28_o wherefore_o from_o this_o example_n of_o athalia_fw-la nothing_o at_o all_o can_v
