and_o the_o opinion_n of_o writer_n be_v natural_o so_o various_a evidence_n that_o this_o sentiment_n of_o they_o concern_v the_o abovesaid_a mean_v of_o the_o oath_n be_v not_o only_o universal_o

to_o the_o affirmative_a and_o negative_a clause_n in_o it_o that_o be_v both_o of_o what_o they_o attribute_v by_o it_o to_o the_o king_n and_o deny_v by_o it_o to_o the_o pope_n out_o of_o which_o

with_o all_o their_o respective_a qualification_n and_o circumstance_n they_o evident_o argue_v that_o the_o sense_n they_o and_o we_o affix_v to_o the_o oath_n be_v agree_v to_o by_o all_o sort_n of_o intelligent_a people_n in_o england_n to_o be_v indeed_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o which_o universal_a consent_n seem_v equivalent_a to_o any_o public_a declaration_n whatsoever_o section_n iii_o objection_n answer_v notwithstanding_o the_o evidence_n of_o what_o we_o produce_v above_o man_n fancy_n interest_n and_o humour_n be_v various_a there_o remain_v diverse_a scruple_n in_o the_o

the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n deny_v all_o manner_n of_o power_n to_o the_o pope_n but_o how_o can_v they_o do_v otherwise_o have_v they_o go_v about_o to_o have_v number_v all_o the_o particular_n which_o they_o intend_v to_o abolish_v beside_o that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v extreme_o tedious_a in_o a_o oath_n especial_o some_o perhaps_o will_v have_v escape_v their_o utmost_a diligence_n have_v they_o exclude_v ordinary_a

know_a christian_a man_n judge_v what_o he_o ought_v to_o teach_v or_o judge_v what_o be_v faith_n what_o be_v heresy_n likewise_o what_o be_v or_o be_v not_o a_o convenient_a canon-law_n or_o a_o fit_a prayer_n to_o be_v use_v in_o his_o church_n and_o the_o like_a and_o more_o than_o these_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o act_n ever_o give_v k._n h._n 8_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o solomon_n at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n do_v as_o much_o or_o more_o as_o in_o reform_v abuse_n in_o god_n worship_n pull_v down_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n and_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o none_o imagine_v they_o in_o so_o do_v usurp_v the_o office_n of_o the_o highpriest_n as_o sacred_o reserve_v to_o he_o then_o by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n as_o the_o pope_n or_o that_o of_o bishop_n be_v now_o to_o they_o 17._o to_o these_o example_n i_o know_v it_o be_v common_o reply_v that_o these_o king_n do_v not_o do_v these_o thing_n without_o usurp_a the_o priest_n office_n in_o case_n they_o do_v more_o than_o execute_v what_o the_o priest_n judge_v to_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o its_o convenient_a practice_n it_o be_v not_o the_o king_n but_o priest_n office_n to_o judge_v what_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o teach_v it_o to_o the_o people_n and_o persuade_v they_o to_o practise_v it_o and_o hence_o that_o they_o reach_v not_o king_n henry_n case_n who_o be_v impower_v with_o sixteen_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o sixteen_o of_o the_o laity_n to_o judge_v what_o canon_n be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o in_o 25_o h._n 8._o c._n 19_o and_o in_o his_o court_n of_o chancery_n to_o judge_v of_o appeal_n from_o spiritual_a court_n nor_o queen_n elizabeth_n case_n who_o take_v upon_o she_o to_o order_v a_o new_a form_n of_o prayer_n and_o a_o new_a manner_n of_o consecrate_v priest_n and_o bishop_n 18._o but_o this_o reply_v invalidate_n not_o the_o application_n of_o these_o example_n first_o because_o in_o the_o preamble_n of_o the_o statute_n 24._o c._n 12._o the_o judgement_n of_o thing_n concern_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o divinity_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o clergy_n as_o a_o thing_n of_o their_o and_o not_o the_o laity's_n office_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o king_n no_o more_o act_v out_o of_o such_o a_o office_n in_o himself_o than_o the_o jewish_a king_n do_v and_o the_o same_o office_n queen_n elizabeth_n deny_v to_o herself_o in_o her_o admonition_n and_o so_o leave_v it_o and_o its_o exercise_n to_o the_o clergy_n and_o this_o be_v also_o evident_a because_o no_o power_n be_v give_v to_o either_o of_o they_o by_o act_n which_o only_o concern_v we_o to_o order_v concern_v the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o its_o practice_n without_o the_o clergy_n order_v it_o with_o they_o for_o in_o the_o first_o sixteen_o clergyman_n be_v mention_v in_o the_o second_o the_o spiritual_a court_n if_o the_o matter_n belong_v to_o it_o judge_v first_o and_o though_o a_o appeal_n lie_v to_o the_o chancery_n it_o be_v not_o the_o chancery_n but_o commissioner_n who_o be_v to_o judge_v of_o that_o appeal_n which_o commissioner_n if_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v be_v to_o be_v clergyman_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o likewise_o queen_n elizabeth_n leave_v the_o make_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n and_o form_n of_o consecration_n to_o clergyman_n and_o hence_o they_o be_v never_o hinder_v from_o do_v their_o office_n that_o christ_n give_v they_o power_n to_o do_v neither_o do_v our_o prince_n by_o these_o law_n pretend_v to_o do_v it_o but_o do_v what_o they_o do_v by_o the_o clergy_n direction_n as_o far_o as_o they_o judge_v they_o to_o direct_v right_a 19_o hence_o i_o reply_v second_o according_a to_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o that_o though_o no_o layman_n can_v be_v a_o judge_n of_o what_o be_v faith_n or_o a_o preacher_n of_o it_o to_o which_o be_v reduce_v a_o excommunicator_n or_o denouncer_n of_o he_o that_o do_v contrary_a to_o it_o or_o its_o practice_n as_o of_o a_o man_n to_o be_v avoid_v and_o a_o maker_n of_o law_n or_o direction_n for_o its_o best_a practice_n without_o any_o other_o force_n than_o that_o of_o excommunication_n in_o the_o most_o common_a or_o most_o proper_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n which_o be_v the_o same_o as_o a_o judge_n or_o preacher_n authorise_a or_o make_v by_o christ_n immediate_a or_o mediate_v appointment_n yet_o if_o the_o word_n judge_n be_v use_v to_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o one_o that_o know_v or_o judge_n what_o be_v true_a faith_n or_o its_o best_a practice_n by_o natural_a reason_n not_o authoritative_a mission_n in_o this_o sense_n every_o layman_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o its_o preacher_n too_o because_o every_o man_n have_v and_o aught_o to_o use_v his_o reason_n in_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o every_o thing_n else_o and_o he_o see_v many_o sort_n of_o faith_n pretend_v to_o be_v christ_n and_o many_o sort_n of_o preacher_n pretend_v to_o be_v true_a one_o be_v this_o way_n to_o judge_v of_o both_o these_o by_o the_o reason_n they_o bring_v for_o themselves_o and_o their_o faith_n and_o hence_o the_o king_n as_o a_o christian_a man_n be_v in_o this_o sense_n a_o judge_n of_o faith_n nay_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n as_o he_o be_v king_n for_o as_o king_n he_o ought_v to_o use_v the_o power_n he_o have_v to_o see_v that_o christ_n true_a faith_n be_v believe_v and_o practise_v by_o his_o people_n and_o how_o can_v he_o see_v that_o law_n be_v make_v and_o execute_v for_o this_o without_o he_o know_v or_o judge_n which_o it_o be_v or_o how_o can_v he_o put_v in_o true_a and_o put_v out_o false_a preacher_n without_o he_o know_v by_o more_o than_o their_o own_o word_n which_o be_v so_o and_o how_o can_v he_o establish_v right_a law_n for_o its_o practice_n and_o abolish_v wrong_a one_o except_o he_o judge_v which_o be_v good_a one_o which_o not_o neither_o do_v i_o by_o this_o power_n give_v to_o prince_n of_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n give_v they_o that_o power_n of_o judgement_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n christ_n deliver_v his_o doctrine_n not_o to_o prince_n but_o pastor_n and_o command_v they_o not_o princess_n to_o teach_v the_o flock_n and_o all_o the_o flock_n prince_n as_o well_o as_o private_a man_n to_o hear_v their_o voice_n yet_o faith_n be_v one_o of_o the_o many_o thing_n which_o fall_v under_o a_o prince_n care_n and_o about_o which_o he_o must_v needs_o act_n one_o way_n or_o other_o i_o conceive_v he_o can_v act_n in_o any_o thing_n without_o judgement_n and_o so_o must_v of_o necessity_n judge_v his_o way_n of_o faith_n if_o he_o act_n about_o faith_n but_o the_o church_n judge_n in_o order_n to_o teach_v the_o faithful_a the_o prince_n in_o order_n to_o govern_v his_o subject_n and_o appoint_v reward_n or_o punishment_n we_o hold_v the_o church_n infallible_a and_o therefore_o she_o can_v oblige_v people_n to_o interior_n assent_n the_o prince_n may_v happen_v to_o judge_v wrong_a which_o if_o he_o do_v we_o be_v not_o

difference_n there_o be_v which_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o mention_v 20._o likewise_o if_o the_o word_n preacher_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o one_o that_o teach_v another_o what_o he_o
