inquisitor_n that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o confessor_n they_o may_v get_v they_o to_o work_v the_o best_a effect_n they_o can_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o agreement_n be_v delude_v and_o grow_v

this_o matter_n the_o roman_n can_v hide_v two_o high_a pretence_n which_o they_o have_v the_o first_o that_o so_o they_o may_v prohibit_v book_n not_o only_o for_o cause_n of_o religion_n but_o also_o for_o any_o of_o her_o cause_n the_o second_o that_o the_o prince_n shall_v not_o have_v power_n within_o his_o own_o state_n to_o forbid_v any_o book_n for_o any_o cause_n whatsoever_o and_o if_o that_o any_o be_v by_o they_o approve_v the_o prince_n can_v hinder_v although_o he_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v dangerous_a but_o that_o within_o his_o dominion_n it_o may_v be_v have_v print_v

corrupt_v book_n which_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o good_a government_n the_o second_o in_o prohibit_v of_o book_n which_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o they_o to_o prohibit_v the_o three_o in_o hinder_v the_o secular_a power_n from_o remove_v what_o shall_v find_v hurtful_a to_o a_o good_a government_n of_o which_o three_o prejudices_fw-la we_o ought_v to_o

and_o godly_a because_o they_o maintain_v temporal_a power_n it_o be_v a_o clear_a thing_n that_o a_o prince_n especial_o one_o that_o rule_v with_o the_o art_n of_o peace_n use_v this_o as_o a_o chief_a instrument_n to_o cause_v the_o people_n to_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v a_o firm_a truth_n vid._n that_o the_o prince_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o rule_v with_o divine_a authority_n and_o the_o subject_a consequent_o in_o conscience_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o not_o do_v it_o offend_v god_n that_o the_o duty_n of_o undergo_a public_a burden_n either_o personal_a in_o bear_v
