we_o have_v in_o this_o instance_n not_o only_a cardinal_n perron_n own_o mind_n but_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a clergy_n of_o france_n i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o inquire_v further_o into_o the_o opinion_n of_o late_a writer_n though_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v that_o to_o this_o day_n both_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n the_o whole_a order_n of_o the_o jesuit_n the_o writer_n both_o of_o controversy_n and_o case_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o expositor_n of_o scripture_n do_v as_o oft_o as_o occasion_n offer_v assert_v the_o power_n of_o depose_v king_n to_o be_v

that_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o but_o whether_o the_o writer_n of_o this_o age_n allow_v it_o or_o not_o they_o be_v bind_v according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n about_o tradition_n to_o

if_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n be_v a_o faithful_a depositary_a and_o transmitter_n of_o church_n tradition_n this_o must_v be_v one_o since_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o world_n by_o so_o many_o

show_v how_o the_o three_o mark_n of_o tradition_n the_o authority_n of_o general_n council_n agree_v to_o this_o doctrine_n when_o this_o doctrine_n have_v be_v so_o well_o spread_v over_o europe_n than_o the_o pope_n find_v it_o be_v safe_a to_o trust_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o such_o a_o assembly_n as_o they_o esteem_v a_o general_n council_n and_o they_o proceed_v in_o this_o matter_n

in_o the_o communion_n they_o take_v care_n first_o to_o infuse_v it_o into_o all_o the_o clergy_n which_o god_n wot_n be_v no_o hard_a thing_n and_o then_o bring_v they_o together_o and_o make_v up_o
