a_o chief_a ruler_n and_o prelate_n of_o the_o church_n but_o as_o unto_o a_o wicked_a and_o ungodlie_a subject_n a_o enemy_n to_o the_o common_a wealth_n a_o disturber_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o

correction_n of_o the_o king_n i_o pray_v you_o let_v we_o see_v what_o solomon_n the_o sage_a say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o wisdom_n the_o mark_n of_o a_o king_n and_o sovereign_a prince_n say_v he_o be_v the_o power_n to_o make_v law_n for_o all_o man_n in_o general_a and_o for_o all_o man_n in_o particular_a also_o and_o this_o power_n he_o receive_v of_o none_o other_o but_o of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o king_n and_o who_o make_v information_n against_o they_o when_o they_o do_v any_o thing_n amiss_o with_o all_o rigour_n the_o prophet_n david_n who_o i_o shall_v have_v allege_v first_o who_o do_v not_o speak_v but_o by_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v that_o the_o king_n and_o sovereign_a prince_n have_v such_o authority_n and_o power_n over_o his_o subject_n that_o he_o may_v dispose_v their_o life_n and_o good_n at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o no_o man_n to_o gainsay_v he_o in_o aniething_n and_o isidore_n in_o one_o of_o his_o passage_n use_v these_o word_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v he_o draw_v nigh_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o terrestrial_a kingdom_n to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o which_o be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n if_o they_o offend_v may_v be_v punish_v by_o the_o rigour_n of_o prince_n and_o that_o the_o discipline_n to_o the_o which_o the_o church_n can_v bind_v they_o be_v nevertheless_o keep_v by_o the_o

not_o a_o thing_n now_o to_o be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o doubt_v any_o more_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o point_n whereupon_o our_o mutinous_a cleargie-man_n do_v ground_n the_o reason_n and_o

that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o felony_n i_o will_v grant_v they_o against_o my_o conscience_n and_o the_o truth_n that_o the_o king_n have_v unjust_o cause_v the_o cardinal_n of_o guise_n to_o be_v slay_v but_o be_v it_o for_o they_o then_o to_o take_v vengeance_n and_o to_o prohibit_v his_o subject_n to_o show_v to_o he_o that_o obedience_n that_o they_o owe_v to_o the●r_v prince_n let_v they_o read_v what_o saint_n john_n chrisostome_n say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o dignity_n of_o priest_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n say_v he_o be_v a_o charge_n commit_v of_o god_n to_o teach_v

saint_n matthew_n say_v to_o his_o apostle_n the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n reign_v over_o nation_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o with_o you_o and_o in_o another_o place_n you_o shall_v be_v

without_o express_a commandment_n from_o god_n as_o the_o duke_n of_o maine_n do_v they_o say_v the_o king_n be_v the_o protector_n of_o heretic_n and_o yet_o can_v prove_v that_o ever_o he_o refuse_v to_o war_n upon_o they_o or_o that_o he_o do_v aid_v they_o in_o any_o of_o their_o affair_n but_o they_o know_v very_o well_o and_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o he_o have_v oftentimes_o hazard_v

they_o say_v moreover_o that_o the_o king_n serve_v his_o own_o turn_n and_o have_v intelligence_n with_o heretic_n &_o that_o he_o seek_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o establish_v their_o sect_n in_o
