seem_v that_o by_o this_o decree_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v prince_n because_o though_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n make_v a_o decree_n of_o

consider_v this_o decree_n well_o and_o without_o all_o passion_n or_o partial_a affection_n must_v needs_o confess_v that_o this_o decree_n ought_v to_o be_v of_o very_o great_a credit_n for_o first_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n suppose_v at_o least_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v prince_n else_o they_o will_v never_o have_v make_v such_o a_o decree_n and_o consequent_o this_o decree_n argue_v that_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o the_o prelate_n prince_n and_o legate_n present_a be_v of_o that_o opinion_n which_o no_o doubt_n they_o be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o learned_a must_v

in_o express_a term_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v prince_n he_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o a_o peremptory_a answer_n certain_o and_o wherein_o to_o say_v no_o more_o the_o answerer_n shall_v

countenance_n and_o judgement_n can_v not_o move_v 7._o but_o i_o will_v deal_v yet_o another_o way_n and_o out_o of_o the_o self_n same_o decree_n although_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n in_o the_o allege_v decree_n do_v not_o express_o define_v that_o pope_n can_v upon_o just_a cause_n depose_v prince_n yet_o it_o argue_v that_o they_o nor_o only_o probable_o but_o very_o and_o assure_o think_v
