and_o dispose_v of_o they_o without_o his_o consent_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o dispose_v of_o his_o good_n at_o the_o other_o command_n according_a as_o by_o virtue_n either_o of_o his_o promise_n or_o of_o some_o other_o obligation_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o other_o may_v complain_v to_o the_o magistrate_n that_o he_o will_v punish_v he_o for_o his_o offence_n or_o cause_v he_o to_o perform_v his_o promise_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o coercive_v power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n do_v extend_v from_o which_o i_o conclude_v that_o consider_v to_o have_v the_o power_n to_o command_v the_o use_n of_o the_o temporal_a sword_n and_o to_o have_v a_o power_n to_o use_v it_o or_o to_o deprive_v of_o the_o use_n thereof_o be_v two_o different_a thing_n neither_o do_v one_o

it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o emperor_n will_v not_o use_v the_o temporal_a sword_n at_o the_o pope_n command_n the_o pope_n as_o pope_n can_v use_v it_o himself_o or_o deprive_v the_o emperor_n of_o the_o use_n thereof_o which_o impli_v a_o power_n to_o use_v the_o same_o but_o only_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o spiritual_a prince_n or_o pstour_n may_v punish_v the_o emperor_n for_o his_o contempt_n with_o spiritual_a punishment_n which_o only_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o coercive_a power_n of_o the_o supreme_a spiritual_a prince_n &_o pastor_n of_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n &_o church_n of_o christ_n 33._o thus_o therefore_o you_o have_v see_v that_o s._n bernard_n do_v nothing_o favour_n but_o it_o be_v rather_o flat_a contrary_n to_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o use_v the_o temporal_a sword_n neither_o can_v he_o scarce_o speak_v more_o clear_o against_o the_o same_o than_o he_o have_v do_v for_o although_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o

disiunctive_a proposition_n as_o i_o have_v often_o repeat_v before_o second_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o prove_v the_o same_o by_o this_o argument_n his_o majesty_n be_v persuade_v ●hat_n the_o
