here_o the_o one_o be_v because_o it_o contain_v a_o promise_n of_o a_o more_o ample_a obedience_n than_o secular_a prince_n can_v require_v from_o their_o catholic_n subject_n or_o their_o subject_n

they_o judge_v it_o formal_o to_o be_v unlawful_a detestable_a and_o sacrilegious_a we_o see_v their_o own_o formal_a expression_n for_o so_o much_o be_v that_o beside_o their_o formal_a adjective_n unlawful_a and_o detestable_a as_o to_o the_o adjective_n or_o epithet_n sacrilegious_a we_o find_v it_o in_o their_o own_o formal_a substantive_a word_n sacrilege_n where_o they_o judge_v that_o such_o as_o have_v already_o sign_v be_v bind_v under_o
the_o guilt_n of_o sacrilege_n to_o refix_v their_o signature_n which_o can_v be_v no_o less_o even_o formal_o than_o to_o say_v that_o the_o remonstrance_n in_o itself_o be_v sacrilegious_a but_o that_o virtual_o and_o consequential_o they_o judge_v it_o also_o to_o be_v either_o heretical_a or_o schismatical_a no_o other_o proof_n be_v requisite_a beside_o that_o where_o they_o say_v that_o moreover_o it_o contain_v some_o thing_n repugnant_a to_o the_o sincere_a profession_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n for_o whoever_o say_v so_o of_o any_o form_n must_v virtual_o and_o consequential_o say_v the_o same_o form_n be_v either_o heretical_a or_o schismatical_a or_o both_o because_o all_o judicious_a learned_a person_n know_v very_o well_o that_o no_o thing_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o sincere_a profession_n of_o catholic_n religion_n but_o such_o thing_n as_o imply_v heresy_n or_o schism_n or_o both_o second_o you_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o in_o their_o
