to_o have_v as_o much_o power_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n here_o as_o any_o other_o foreign_a bishop_n and_o it_o be_v pity_n but_o that_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o university_n be_v show_v

the_o french_a king_n i_o for_o my_o part_n be_o disincline_v to_o it_o the_o print_n of_o it_o here_o may_v probable_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o notice_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o so_o perhaps_o to_o

any_o can_v have_v be_v and_o the_o publication_n of_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v of_o use_n in_o some_o place_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n world_n abroad_o but_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o present_a french_a king_n will_v never_o without_o some_o strange_a unexpected_a provocation_n receive_v from_o the_o papacy_n advance_v so_o far_o towards_o the_o confine_n of_o reformation_n as_o henry_n 8_o the_o do_v i_o know_v it_o be_v but_o congruous_a to_o worldly_a politic_n however_o contrary_a to_o justice_n for_o french_a king_n former_o to_o use_v very_o high_a severity_n to_o their_o

like_a nature_n be_v the_o political_a measure_n of_o henry_n the_o 8_o the_o hear_v who_o at_o the_o same_o time_n burn_v his_o protestant_a subject_n for_o what_o he_o call_v heresy_n that_o he_o

to_o what_o instrument_n he_o shall_v or_o shall_v not_o use_v in_o the_o melioration_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o church_n or_o state_n but_o the_o french_a king_n be_v one_o i_o never_o think_v of_o without_o horror_n nor_o do_v i_o entertain_v any_o idea_n of_o god_n make_v any_o right_a line_n in_o the_o world_n by_o so_o crooked_a a_o instrument_n if_o david_n must_v not_o be_v allow_v by_o

we_o presage_v from_o such_o a_o monarch_n as_o have_v make_v all_o christendom_n almost_o one_o great_a aceldama_n the_o great_a god_n will_v i_o believe_v take_v his_o time_n to_o make_v this_o

moralist_n that_o the_o divine_a wheel_n be_v grind_v and_o will_v grind_v to_o powder_n though_o they_o be_v slow_a in_o motion_n nor_o do_v god_n think_v fit_a to_o use_v our_o henry_n 8_o the_o as_o a_o instrument_n to_o contribute_v towards_o the_o building_n his_o house_n here_o further_o than_o by_o remove_v the_o rubbish_n of_o the_o papal_a usurpation_n and_o by_o so_o signal_o act_v therein_o by_o compass_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o be_v here_o reduce_v to_o the_o level_n of_o that_o of_o every_o other_o foreign_a bishop_n this_o be_v a_o momentous_a thing_n and_o worthy_a the_o sagacity_n and_o politic_n of_o king_n henry_n and_o his_o minister_n and_o it_o must_v however_o be_v for_o his_o honour_n acknowledge_v in_o our_o english_a story_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o customary_a for_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n when_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o weak_a king_n here_o or_o one_o who_o affair_n be_v embarrass_v to_o interlope_v in_o their_o temporal_a concern_v and_o to_o presume_v to_o dispose_v of_o their_o crown_n and_o regality_n it_o be_v but_o natural_a for_o such_o a_o magnanimous_a monarch_n as_o henry_n the_o 8_o the_o be_v to_o stake_n down_o the_o pope_n spiritual_a power_n to_o that_o short_a tedder_n he_o do_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o allow_v it_o to_o go_v no_o further_o there_o than_o any_o other_o foreign_a bishop_n and_o thus_o i_o for_o my_o part_n will_v never_o prefer_v any_o divine_a to_o be_v my_o spiritual_a pastor_n who_o claim_v my_o temporal_a estate_n and_o as_o i_o think_v no_o lord_n of_o manor_n who_o have_v the_o right_a of_o advowson_n will_v present_v any_o one_o to_o a_o live_n in_o their_o gift_n who_o without_o sense_n or_o reason_n do_v set_v up_o a_o title_n to_o the_o manor_n but_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o water_n not_o rise_v high_o than_o their_o spring_n may_v well_o serve_v to_o mind_n henry_n 8_o the_o and_o some_o of_o our_o former_a roman_a catholic_n prince_n that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n in_o temporal_n however_o claim_v by_o pope_n be_v not_o allow_v to_o rise_v high_a than_o st._n peter_n nor_o st._n peter_n high_a than_o he_o who_o say_v his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o st._n peter_n successor_n be_v not_o like_o tamburlaine_n to_o tread_v on_o the_o head_n of_o christian_n nor_o like_o

those_o statute_n in_o henry_n 8_o th_n time_n that_o be_v most_o warm_a against_o the_o papal_a usurpation_n be_v but_o declarative_a of_o our_o old_a law_n and_o custom_n and_o as_o for_o example_n

the_o 8_o th_n time_n for_o prohibit_v all_o appeal_n out_o of_o england_n to_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o thus_o the_o constitution_n at_o clarendon_n plain_o speak_v out_o how_o our_o old_a
