commonwealth_n which_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o sever_v and_o disjoin_v as_o that_o king_n and_o laikes_n do_v make_v a_o politic_a and_o temporal_a commonwealth_n bishop_n and_o clerike_v a_o spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastike_a than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v speak_v more_o absurd_o or_o unfit_o for_o the_o present_a purpose_n for_o either_o he_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o a_o

thereof_o have_v no_o authority_n at_o all_o not_o so_o much_o as_o spiritual_a over_o the_o civil_a prince_n because_o he_o be_v not_o a_o child_n of_o the_o church_n 5._o or_o he_o speak_v of_o

the_o other_o politic_a when_o as_o they_o be_v only_o two_o power_n of_o one_o christian_a commonwealth_n and_o part_n and_o member_n of_o one_o church_n and_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n as_o

to_o this_o very_a fundamental_a proposition_n that_o it_o be_v all_o true_a and_o make_v for_o i_o and_o that_o the_o very_a contrary_n of_o that_o which_o he_o affirm_v may_v very_o handsome_o be_v gather_v from_o thence_o i_o say_v gather_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o temporal_a power_n at_o all_o or_o may_v exercise_v any_o upon_o christian_a prince_n as_o he_o be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n and_o successor_n of_o s._n peter_n see_v such_o a_o manner_n of_o power_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o discharge_n and_o fulfil_n of_o his_o pastoral_a duty_n and_o that_o be_v evident_o conclude_v by_o this_o argument_n christ_n by_o commend_v his_o sheep_n to_o peter_n give_v he_o all_o power_n necessary_a to_o defend_v the_o flock_n but_o he_o give_v he_o no_o temporal_a power_n therefore_o temporal_a power_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o defend_v the_o flock_n second_o we_o will_v proceed_v in_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n unreasonable_a that_o the_o pope_n who_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o s._n peter_n shall_v have_v more_o power_n than_o have_v peter_n himself_o but_o peter_n have_v not_o any_o temporal_a power_n over_o christian_n therefore_o neither_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o be_v his_o successor_n the_o proposition_n of_o the_o former_a reason_n be_v without_o all_o controversy_n true_a and_o the_o assamption_n be_v prove_v by_o the_o testimony_n and_o confession_n of_o bellarmine_n himself_o for_o lib._n quint._n de_fw-fr rom._n pontif._n where_o he_o endeavour_n to_o establish_v his_o opinion_n of_o this_o thing_n by_o a_o similitude_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o write_v thus_o for_o as_o the_o spirit_n and_o flesh_n stand_v one_o towards_o the_o other_o in_o man_n so_o do_v the_o two_o power_n in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v as_o it_o be_v two_o commonwealth_n which_o may_v be_v find_v both_o separate_v and_o toyn_v together_o flesh_n be_v find_v without_o the_o

likewise_o the_o ecclesiastical_a her_o bishop_n canon_n judgement_n the_o one_o have_v for_o she_o end_v a_o temporal_a peace_n the_o other_o everlasting_a salvation_n sometime_o they_o be_v find_v sever_v as_o once_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n sometime_o toyn_v as_o now_o if_o these_o power_n be_v sever_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v both_o in_o right_n and_o in_o deed_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o s._n peter_n have_v no_o temporal_a power_n otherwise_o it_o shall_v be_v false_a that_o they_o be_v sever_v for_o it_o there_o be_v place_n to_o the_o similitude_n propound_v by_o he_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o fleshly_a in_o angel_n and_o nothing_o spiritual_a in_o beast_n so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o temporal_a power_n in_o the_o church_n or_o spiritual_a in_o the_o civil_a state_n therefore_o we_o must_v confess_v either_o that_o temporal_a power_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o chief_a pastor_n of_o the_o church_n or_o that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n himself_o and_o chief_a pastor_n s._n peter_n be_v not_o furnish_v and_o accomplish_v with_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o pastoral_a duty_n and_o this_o be_v as_o contrary_n as_o contrary_a may_v be_v to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v already_o say_v in_o

that_o all_o civil_a and_o temporal_a power_n at_o that_o time_n depend_v of_o heathen_a prince_n to_o who_o peter_n himself_o witness_n bellarmine_n 29._o although_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o vicar_n of_o christ_n be_v subject_a in_o temporality_n both_o by_o right_n and_o in_o deed._n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o s._n peter_n be_v induce_v with_o no_o temporal_a power_n or_o that_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o heathen_a prince_n otherwise_o as_o we_o say_v before_o it_o shall_v be_v false_a that_o those_o power_n be_v then_o separate_v but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o
