that_o to_o deny_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o pope_n authority_n to_o depose_v be_v not_o to_o deny_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n itself_o and_o yet_o now_o from_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o

that_o a_o denial_n of_o all_o effect_n and_o practice_n of_o any_o power_n or_o authority_n be_v a_o virtual_a denial_n of_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n itself_o but_o a_o denial_n of_o some_o

the_o state_n can_v not_o lawful_o or_o without_o sin_n minister_v this_o oath_n to_o those_o who_o can_v conform_v themselves_o to_o widdringtons_n conceit_n and_o explication_n of_o the_o oath_n to_o which_o nevertheless_o other_o catholic_n both_o can_v and_o do_v conform_v themselves_o yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v infer_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v not_o minister_v to_o they_o by_o lawful_a authority_n as_o also_o although_o we_o shall_v admit_v as_o we_o do_v not_o that_o a_o judge_n can_v lawful_o or_o without_o sin_n minister_v a_o oath_n to_o he_o who_o he_o moral_o know_v will_n swear_v false_o and_o against_o his_o conscience_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o judge_n have_v not_o good_a and_o full_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o minister_v the_o oath_n to_o he_o for_o one_o may_v have_v authority_n to_o a_o thing_n which_o nevertheless_o in_o some_o case_n he_o can_v lawful_o do_v as_o a_o priest_n be_v in_o mortal_a sin_n

although_o he_o commit_v sin_n by_o use_v and_o exercise_v his_o office_n irreligious_o yet_o the_o sacrament_n be_v valid_a because_o his_o be_v in_o sin_n do_v not_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o
