we_o must_v needs_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o spiritual_a power_n be_v to_o the_o temporal_a as_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o flesh_n which_o if_o it_o signify_v that_o the_o spiritual_a power_n be_v

very_o true_a the_o sword_n which_o king_n bear_v exempt_v they_o not_o from_o the_o key_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o guess_v st._n gregory_n mean_v it_o because_o the_o similitude_n though_o not_o

this_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n man_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a power_n and_o who_o needs_o st._n gregory_n or_o bellarmin_n to_o tell_v he_o that_o with_o all_o this_o ado_n we_o be_v but_o just_a where_o we_o be_v the_o secular_a man_n be_v indeed_o subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a power_n in_o spiritual_n but_o why_o be_v not_o the_o spiritual_a man_n subject_n to_o his_o power_n in_o temporal_n because_o say_v bellarmin_n the_o flesh_n never_o govern_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o secular_a man_n be_v as_o the_o flesh_n yes_o in_o spiritual_n but_o in_o temporal_n he_o and_o he_o alone_o have_v the_o knowledge_n the_o spiritual_a man_n be_v as_o ignorant_a in_o they_o as_o he_o in_o spiritual_n he_o too_o and_o he_o alone_o have_v the_o power_n for_o the_o same_o hand_n which_o give_v the_o key_n to_o bishop_n give_v it_o he_o sword_n to_o king_n wherefore_o he_o be_v now_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spiritual_a man_n the_o flesh_n and_o so_o the_o very_a similitude_n which_o be_v bring_v for_o exemption_n do_v in_o truth_n prove_v subjection_n i_o have_v be_v the_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n because_o the_o same_o clew_n will_v guide_v we_o through_o all_o the_o labyrinth_n here_o the_o clergy_n be_v the_o spirit_n afterward_o father_n and_o shepherd_n and_o the_o lot_n of_o god_n and_o all_o this_o be_v but_o the_o same_o stuff_n cut_v

when_o he_o break_v the_o law_n and_o refuse_v to_o contribute_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o his_o country_n to_o do_v so_o be_v not_o to_o feed_v and_o keep_v the_o wolf_n away_o but_o to_o starve_v

the_o enemy_n the_o clergy_n need_v all_o this_o as_o much_o as_o other_o folk_n and_o therefore_o as_o they_o be_v father_n and_o pastor_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o supply_v our_o spiritual_a want_n so_o they_o be_v child_n and_o sheep_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o receive_v temporal_a thing_n from_o other_o and_o so_o by_o nature_n oblige_v to_o obey_v their_o temporal_a father_n and_o

can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v call_v the_o child_n or_o sheep_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o that_o for_o a_o very_a strange_a reason_n because_o priest_n and_o all_o clergyman_n have_v a_o spiritual_a prince_n of_o their_o own_o by_o who_o they_o be_v govern_v not_o only_o in_o spiritual_n but_o in_o temporal_n too_o but_o can_v the_o notion_n of_o father_n and_o shepherd_n be_v apply_v to_o that_o spiritual_a prince_n in_o respect_n of_o temporal_n do_v he_o provide_v temporal_a pasture_n for_o the_o clergy_n be_v it_o from_o he_o they_o have_v safety_n and_o quiet_a when_o they_o feed_v do_v
