king_n but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o good_a reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v depose_v king_n in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o because_o a_o mere_a spiritual_a power_n can_v in_o no_o case_n possible_a extend_v itself_o to_o temporall_n 105._o another_o reason_n very_o common_a among_o those_o who_o defend_v the_o oath_n and_o deny_v the_o pope_n depose_v power_n be_v because_o neither_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o oath_n nor_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v king_n be_v any_o article_n of_o divine_a faith_n whence_o they_o infer_v that_o one_o may_v lawful_o take_v the_o oath_n and_o by_o consequence_n swear_v positive_o that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o such_o power_n now_o let_v any_o one_o judge_n whether_o this_o consequence_n be_v not_o manifest_o null_a such_o a_o thing_n be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n therefore_o we_o may_v lawful_o swear_v the_o contrary_n it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o divine_a faith_n that_o his_o majesty_n be_v king_n of_o great_a britanny_n shall_v we_o therefore_o swear_v that_o he_o be_v not_o it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v sovereign_a temporal_a prince_n of_o rome_n and_o yet_o neither_o protestant_a nor_o catholic_n will_v swear_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v certain_a though_o no_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o at_o least_o doubtful_a and_o one_o can_v lawful_o swear_v what_o be_v false_a or_o doubtful_a 106._o and_o as_o for_o our_o present_a case_n those_o who_o defend_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v king_n in_o some_o case_n do_v not_o unanimous_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o that_o it_o be_v express_o define_v as_o such_o by_o any_o general_n council_n or_o by_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o the_o church_n but_o some_o of_o they_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o scripture_n as_o a_o mere_a theological_a truth_n other_o deduce_v it_o from_o prescription_n other_o from_o a_o donation_n or_o agreement_n make_v between_o catholic_n prince_n allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o famous_a canonical_a constitution_n of_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n under_o innocent_a the_o three_o assent_v unto_o by_o the_o ambassador_n and_o plenipotentiaries_n of_o all_o or_o most_o catholic_n prince_n of_o those_o time_n present_a at_o the_o council_n 107._o at_o least_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v impossible_a that_o catholic_n prince_n out_o of_o hatred_n to_o heresy_n and_o zeal_n for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n among_o themselves_o that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v become_v a_o heretic_n and_o shall_v be_v declare_v as_o such_o by_o the_o pope_n to_o who_o as_o all_o catholic_n confess_v belong_v the_o authority_n of_o declare_v one_o a_o heretic_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o the_o rest_n in_o that_o case_n to_z attack_z the_o transgressor_n and_o force_v he_o by_o their_o arm_n to_o recant_v and_o in_o case_n of_o refusal_n to_o prosecute_v the_o war_n till_o they_o have_v depose_v he_o and_o absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o what_o be_v agree_v upon_o so_o by_o the_o common_a consent_n of_o prince_n can_v be_v recall_v but_o by_o their_o common_a consent_n this_o case_n i_o say_v do_v not_o seem_v impossible_a now_o the_o pope_n in_o that_o case_n by_o declare_v such_o a_o prince_n a_o heretic_n do_v as_o it_o be_v authorise_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o ally_n to_o attack_v he_o and_o in_o case_n he_o refuse_v to_o recant_v to_o depose_v he_o though_o he_o be_v not_o then_o so_o proper_o depose_v by_o force_n of_o the_o pope_n declaration_n as_o of_o the_o contract_n make_v between_o those_o prince_n suppose_v that_o some_o zealous_a protestant_n shall_v entail_v his_o estate_n upon_o his_o heir_n with_o this_o condition_n that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v quit_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o shall_v be_v declare_v by_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n who_o protestant_n acknowledge_v here_o in_o england_n as_o their_o primate_n to_o have_v quit_v protestancy_n his_o inheritance_n shall_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o heir_n now_o if_o the_o archbishop_n shall_v declare_v in_o this_o case_n that_o such_o a_o one_o who_o possess_v that_o estate_n have_v quit_v the_o protestant_a religion_n he_o will_v deprive_v he_o or_o rather_o declare_v he_o deprive_v of_o his_o estate_n though_o the_o archbishop_n have_v no_o authority_n in_o rigour_n to_o deprive_v any_o man_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o in_o this_o case_n such_o a_o man_n will_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o estate_n rather_o by_o force_n of_o the_o entailment_n then_o of_o the_o archbishops_n declaration_n 108._o final_o protestant_n do_v common_o confess_v to_o return_v to_o the_o main_a point_n that_o the_o point_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o as_o no_o purgatory_n no_o transubstantiation_n no_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o such_o like_a negative_n be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v far_o from_o positive_o swear_v the_o contrary_a whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o forementioned_a reason_n of_o these_o author_n be_v manifest_o false_a for_o it_o run_v thus_o whensoever_o any_o thing_n be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o contrary_n may_v positive_o be_v swear_v but_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v king_n be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n therefore_o we_o may_v positive_o swear_v that_o he_o have_v no_o such_o power_n the_o major_a proposition_n be_v manifest_o false_a as_o have_v be_v show_v 109._o another_o main_a argument_n which_o the_o defender_n of_o the_o oath_n make_v a_o great_a account_n of_o in_o order_n to_o deny_v the_o pope_n depose_v power_n be_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o deprive_v other_o man_n of_o their_o temporal_a dominion_n 18._o regnum_fw-la meum_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la de_fw-fr hoc_fw-la mundo_fw-la and_o much_o less_o to_o deprive_v king_n of_o their_o kingdom_n non_fw-la eripit_fw-la mortalia_fw-la qui_fw-la regna_fw-la that_fw-mi coelestia_fw-la hence_o they_o infer_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o such_o power_n for_o his_o power_n must_v be_v immediate_o derive_v from_o christ_n who_o vicar_n he_o be_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_o false_a that_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v not_o extend_v itself_o in_o some_o case_n to_o the_o deprivation_n of_o temporal_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v second_o that_o the_o pope_n and_o other_o bishop_n have_v the_o temporal_a sovereignty_n of_o several_a place_n grant_v unto_o they_o by_o temporal_a prince_n or_o otherwise_o acquire_v though_o neither_o our_o saviour_n nor_o his_o apostle_n have_v any_o such_o sovereignty_n wherefore_o this_o consequence_n be_v null_a christ_n have_v no_o such_o power_n therefore_o the_o pope_n have_v it_o not_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o oath_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o swear_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o any_o power_n whatsoever_o to_o depose_v prince_n derive_v from_o christ_n or_o any_o body_n else_o three_o that_o out_o of_o those_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o hymn_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o prove_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v no_o authority_n in_o some_o extraordinary_a case_n to_o deprive_v king_n of_o their_o dominion_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v not_o give_v i_o this_o life_n to_o kill_v my_o neighbour_n yet_o in_o some_o extravagant_a case_n when_o i_o can_v otherwise_o defend_v my_o own_o life_n i_o may_v lawful_o kill_v he_o it_o be_v also_o certain_a that_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o make_v king_n of_o england_n to_o take_v away_o from_o other_o prince_n their_o dominion_n yet_o he_o may_v do_v it_o if_o otherwise_o he_o can_v defend_v his_o subject_n neither_o do_v christ_n come_v to_o damn_v any_o one_o out_o of_o his_o primary_n intention_n but_o to_o save_v all_o as_o be_v evident_a from_o several_a place_n of_o scripture_n and_o yet_o he_o do_v and_o may_v just_o condemn_v man_n who_o will_v be_v obstinate_a to_o eternal_a punishment_n in_o like_a manner_n his_o primary_n design_n in_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v not_o to_o separate_v a_o man_n from_o his_o wife_n a_o son_n from_o his_o father_n or_o brother_n from_o his_o sister_n for_o he_o command_v all_o especial_o relation_n to_o keep_v union_n and_o due_a correspondence_n among_o themselves_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o scripture_n 10._o non_fw-la veni_fw-la pacem_fw-la mittere_fw-la sed_fw-la gladium_fw-la i_o do_v not_o come_v to_o bring_v peace_n but_o division_n and_o to_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o man_n and_o wife_n father_n and_o son_n brother_n and_o sister_n when_o the_o communication_n with_o they_o be_v destructive_a to_o their_o salvation_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o subject_n be_v not_o more_o express_o command_v in_o scripture_n to_o honour_v their_o sovereign_n than_o child_n be_v command_v to_o honour_v their_o parent_n and_o wife_n to_o obey_v their_o husband_n 110
