do_v hold_v that_o prince_n upon_o just_a cause_n may_v be_v depose_v by_o pope_n and_o then_o of_o fact_n that_o diverse_a emperor_n have_v be_v depose_v and_o great_a war_n raise_v against_o they_o by_o pope_n as_o bellarmyne_n in_o his_o work_n do_v confess_v and_o can_v deny_v and_o consequent_o do_v contradict_v himself_o but_o sure_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o very_a simple_a opposition_n or_o contradiction_n for_o who_o do_v not_o see_v that_o these_o thing_n may_v well_o stand_v together_o be_v not_o opposite_a and_o may_v be_v both_o true_a that_o pope_n upon_o just_a cause_n have_v
