be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o apostasy_n 2._o because_o the_o papist_n pretend_v their_o pope_n or_o church_n to_o be_v above_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o put_v a_o authentic_a authority_n on_o they_o and_o their_o sense_n thus_o all_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n be_v resolve_v into_o the_o determination_n of_o man_n that_o the_o papist_n pretend_v the_o pope_n their_o council_n or_o

then_o when_o the_o incumbent_n die_v the_o pope_n must_v be_v judge_n who_o shall_v have_v it_o of_o all_o these_o which_o shall_v certain_o be_v he_o that_o will_v give_v most_o money_n thus_o they_o make_v woeful_a merchandise_n with_o man_n soul_n 4._o continual_a endeavour_n to_o stir_v up_o war_n and_o imbroil_n nation_n the_o pope_n pretend_v to_o be_v lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n and_o therefore_o he_o dispose_v of_o kingdom_n set_v up_o and_o pull_v down_o prince_n as_o he_o please_v and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a pretence_n for_o any_o unjust_a war_n and_o

that_o they_o being_n behold_v to_o he_o may_v requite_v he_o with_o some_o addition_n to_o his_o authority_n or_o revenue_n pope_n zacheriah_n give_v france_n to_o pipin_n a_o aspire_a man_n depose_v
