which_o entitle_v the_o pope_n to_o a_o direct_a and_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n over_o prince_n 10_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o ground_n by_o which_o he_o destroy_v that_o opinion_n will_v destroy_v he_o which_o be_v igitur_fw-la that_o as_o christ_n be_v so_o the_o pope_n be_v spiritual_a prince_n over_o all_o man_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o power_n he_o may_v dispose_v of_o all_o temporal_a thing_n as_o he_o shall_v judge_v it_o expedient_a to_o his_o spiritual_a end_n 11_o for_o first_o against_o that_o opinion_n of_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n he_o argue_v thus_o eaden_a if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v appear_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o from_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o in_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v mention_n of_o the_o key_n of_o heaven_n but_o none_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n nor_o do_v our_o adversary_n offer_v any_o apostolic_a tradition_n will_v not_o you_o then_o before_o you_o receive_v too_o deep_a

his_o position_n for_o his_o sake_n without_o scripture_n 12_o another_o of_o bellarmine_n reason_n against_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n be_v that_o regal_a authority_n be_v no●_n necessary_a nor_o of_o use_n in_o christ_n to_o work_v his_o end_n confirmatur_fw-la but_o superfluous_a and_o unprofitable_a and_o what_o great_a use_n or_o necessity_n can_v the_o pope_n have_v of_o this_o extraordinary_a authority_n which_o be_v a_o power_n to_o work_v the_o same_o effect_n though_o not_o by_o the_o same_o way_n than_o christ_n have_v if_o his_o end_n be_v the_o same_o which_o christ_n be_v and_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n neither_o have_v nor_o forsaw_v use_n of_o either_o because_o he_o neither_o exercise_v nor_o instistute_v either_o for_o that_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n which_o bellarmine_n say_v that_o christ_n may_v have_v exercise_v that_o power_n if_o he_o will_v igitur_fw-la since_o the_o pope_n authority_n be_v ground_v upon_o christ_n example_n and_o limit_v to_o that_o for_o christ_n may_v have_v do_v many_o thing_n which_o the_o pope_n can_v do_v as_o convert_n all_o the_o world_n at_o once_o institute_v more_o sacrament_n and_o many_o such_o gregorius_n and_o therefore_o bellarmine_n argue_v well_o before_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o exercise_v regal_a power_n nor_o declare_v himself_o to_o have_v it_o which_o declarion_n only_o and_o practice_v must_v be_v draw_v into_o consequence_n and_o be_v the_o precedent_n for_o the_o pope_n to_o follow_v 16_o the_o light_n of_o which_o argument_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n but_o such_o as_o christ_n exercise_v have_v bring_v so_o many_o of_o they_o to_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o prove_v that_o both_o christ_n do_v exercise_v regal_a authority_n in_o accept_v regal_a reverence_n upon_o palme-sunday_n and_o in_o his_o correction_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o his_o judgement_n in_o the_o woman_n case_n which_o be_v take_v in_o adultery_n 3.5_o and_o that_o s._n peter_n use_v also_o the_o like_a power_n in_o condemn_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n and_o simon_n magus_n 14_o in_o another_o place_n bellarmine_n say_v that_o s._n paul_n appeal_v to_o caesar_n primo_fw-la as_o to_o his_o superior_a judge_n not_o only_a de_fw-fr facto_fw-la but_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la and_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v subject_n to_o the_o ethnique_n emperor_n in_o all_o temporal_a cause_n and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n deprive_v no_o man_n of_o his_o right_n which_o he_o have_v before_o and_o late_o in_o his_o recognition_n he_o depart_v from_o this_o opinion_n and_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v his_o judge_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la if_o his_o first_o opinion_n be_v true_a can_v these_o consist_v together_o that_o he_o which_o be_v subject_a in_o temporal_a cause_n can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o in_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v superior_a or_o that_o he_o over_o who_o the_o emperor_n have_v supreme_a temporal_a authority_n shall_v have_v authority_n over_o the_o emperor_n in_o temporal_a cause_n and_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o second_o opinion_n that_o shall_v induce_v so_o strong_a a_o obligation_n upon_o a_o conscience_n as_o to_o die_v for_o it_o since_o the_o first_o be_v better_a ground_v for_o for_o that_o he_o produce_v scripture_n and_o the_o second_o be_v destitute_a of_o that_o help_n and_o without_o further_a search_n into_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o neither_o the_o doctrine_n nor_o the_o doctor_n be_v constant_a enough_o to_o build_v a_o mar●yredome_n upon_o 15_o thus_o also_o bellarmine_n argue_v to_o our_o advantage_n though_o he_o do_v it_o to_o prove_v a_o necessity_n of_o this_o power_n in_o the_o church_n that_o every_o commonwealth_n be_v sufficient_o
