that_o by_o this_o opinion_n i_o seem_v to_o dislike_v all_o those_o immunity_n and_o exemption_n which_o so_o many_o prince_n worthy_a of_o everlasting_a memory_n have_v grant_v to_o the_o clergye_n in_o criminal_a cause_n no_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o dislike_a they_o as_o i_o do_v much_o commend_v they_o and_o propose_v they_o as_o worthy_a pattern_n to_o be_v follow_v by_o all_o prince_n present_a and_o to_o come_v but_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o say_v that_o if_o we_o begin_v at_o constantine_n the_o great_a and_o go_v along_o to_o constantine_n the_o son_n of_o irene_n and_o from_o he_o through_o all_o the_o greek_a emperor_n until_o the_o final_a destruction_n of_o that_o empire_n and_o among_o the_o latin_n from_o charles_n the_o great_a to_o fridericke_n the_o second_o inclusive_a we_o shall_v not_o find_v that_o any_o prince_n do_v ever_o exempt_a the_o clergy_n from_o his_o own_o authority_n but_o all_o the_o exemption_n they_o grant_v be_v from_o their_o inferior_a offiicer_n and_o magistrate_n some_o from_o all_o and_o other_o from_o some_o only_a and_o some_o in_o certain_a kind_n of_o offence_n and_o other_o in_o all_o respective_o but_o there_o remain_v still_o unto_o the_o prince_n themselves_o that_o supreme_a authority_n which_o can_v not_o be_v sever_v from_o they_o now_o so_o as_o offence_n be_v punish_v to_o what_o magistrate_n it_o shall_v belong_v to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o what_o not_o and_o over_o what_o person_n he_o shall_v have_v authority_n and_o over_o who_o he_o shall_v not_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o prince_n to_o appoint_v according_a to_o the_o congruety_n and_o fitness_n of_o time_n place_n and_o matter_n and_o according_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o state_n of_o their_o affair_n so_o require_v it_o prince_n do_v sometime_o grant_v privilege_n and_o exemption_n unto_o soldier_n and_o sometime_o to_o man_n of_o other_o condition_n in_o like_a sort_n when_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o plant_n or_o propagate_a of_o religion_n in_o their_o dominion_n they_o be_v content_a to_o give_v convenient_a privilege_n and_o exemption_n to_o ecclesiastical_a person_n and_o therein_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v much_o commend_v as_o i_o do_v high_o commend_v all_o tha_z forename_a prince_n and_o likewise_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o venice_n which_o though_o not_o by_o a_o write_a law_n yet_o by_o a_o laudable_a use_n and_o practice_v have_v exempt_v ecclesiastical_a person_n from_o the_o ordinary_a magistrate_n in_o ordinary_a crime_n and_o such_o as_o carry_v no_o enormity_n with_o they_o but_o for_o such_o a_o law_n as_o shall_v take_v away_o from_o a_o prince_n all_o authority_n to_o punish_v offence_n even_o when_o the_o necessity_n and_o peace_n of_o his_o state_n do_v require_v it_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o any_o man_n can_v either_o allow_v it_o or_o account_v it_o agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o that_o because_o we_o commend_v many_o holy_a privilege_n which_o prince_n have_v grant_v in_o this_o kind_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n commend_v also_o a_o exorbitant_a exemption_n which_o tend_v so_o direct_o to_o the_o confusion_n and_o general_a disturbance_n of_o the_o state_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o pope_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o give_v permission_n or_o allowance_n of_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v evil_a and_o opposite_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n and_o which_o though_o he_o shall_v permit_v they_o will_v nevertheless_o continue_v to_o be_v sin_n and_o exclude_v he_o that_o do_v they_o from_o attain_v salvation_n and_o sure_o those_o pope_n be_v worthy_a of_o exceed_a praise_n that_o have_v endeavour_v to_o remove_v such_o abuse_n and_o other_o thing_n forbid_v by_o god_n which_o remain_v make_v it_o impossible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v save_v these_o many_o year_n
