for_o the_o prelate_n i_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v he_o if_o it_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o profit_n of_o my_o soul_n though_o it_o will_v prove_v exceed_v great_o behooveful_a to_o those_o end_n which_o be_v aim_v at_o by_o my_o prelate_n the_o whole_a error_n stand_v in_o this_o that_o we_o give_v power_n to_o the_o prelate_n over_o matter_n temporal_a and_o transform_v the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n into_o a_o secular_a court_n judicial_a for_o to_o the_o secular_a power_n have_v god_n commit_v the_o care_n of_o public_a tranquillity_n and_o give_v they_o

which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o which_o the_o author_n make_v that_o to_o the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n all_o christian_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n oblige_v
