christian_a people_n that_o no_o man_n err_v therein_o first_o whereas_o i_o speak_v in_o my_o book_n of_o tradition_n of_o the_o autorite_n of_o bysshoppe_n in_o make_v law_n and_o ordenance_n which_o the_o people_n ought_v to_o obey_v i_o do_v say_v &_o teach_v in_o this_o wise_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o obey_v the_o bysshoppes_n commandment_n in_o all_o thing_n leaful_a upon_o pain_n of_o everlasting_a damnacyon_n and_o that_o these_o word_n of_o matthew_n do_v as_o they_o bid_v you_o but_o not_o as_o they_o do_v be_v understand_v not_o only_o of_o thing_n contain_v in_o scripture_n but_o also_o of_o the_o church_n ordenaunce_n besides_o scripture_n make_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n although_o the_o say_a minister_n do_v abuse_v their_o auctorite_n for_o their_o own_o be_v nefite_n and_o profit_n and_o further_o where_o i_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v more_o convenient_a that_o the_o people_n obey_v their_o bishops_n commandment_n &_o decree_n although_o it_o be_v but_o in_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a of_o itself_o and_o not_o command_v by_o god_n than_o that_o servant_n shall_v obey_v their_o master_n or_o child_n their_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o final_o where_o i_o say_v concern_v the_o same_o matter_n that_o as_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v and_o fulfil_v their_o prince_n law_n which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o god_n law_n be_v not_o against_o it_o even_o so_o be_v christian_a people_n bind_v too_o obey_v &_o do_v that_o which_o their_o bishop_n byd_v they_o do_v all_o these_o say_n i_o do_v now_o revoke_v disannul_v and_o condemn_v as_o erroneous_a and_o false_a and_o do_v profess_v and_o acknowledge_v first_o that_o the_o auctorite_n aswell_o of_o the_o bysshop_n of_o rome_n who_o auctorite_n be_v just_o and_o lawful_o abolysh_v in_o this_o realm_n as_o of_o other_o bishop_n &_o other_o call_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n consist_v in_o the_o dispensation_n and_o ministration_n of_o god_n word_n &_o not_o in_o make_v law_n ordinance_n and_o decree_n over_o the_o people_n beside_o god_n word_n without_o the_o consent_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n ¶_o second_o i_o say_v &_o affirm_v that_o no_o bysshop_n nor_o none_o of_o the_o clergy_n assemble_v together_o have_v authority_n to_o make_v any_o law_n or_o decree_n besides_o god_n law_n over_o the_o people_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o people_n and_o if_o they_o do_v make_v any_o such_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v theym_a ¶_o three_o i_o say_v that_o in_o those_o country_n where_o by_o the_o auctorite_n of_o the_o prince_n they_o have_v make_v any_o such_o law_n thauctorite_n of_o those_o law_n do_v not_o appende_v and_o hang_v of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o clergy_n but_o of_o the_o prince_n &_o chief_n head_n in_o every_o country_n ¶_o four_o i_o say_v &_o affirm_v that_o within_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n &_o other_o the_o king_n dominion_n there_o be_v no_o law_n decree_n ordinance_n or_o constitution_n ecclesiastical_a in_o force_n and_o available_a by_o any_o man_n authority_n but_o only_o by_o the_o king_n majesty_n authority_n or_o of_o his_o parliament_n and_o where_o in_o any_o foresay_a book_n of_o tradition_n i_o say_v that_o tenthes_o of_o benefice_n be_v dew_n only_o to_o theym_v that_o do_v prithee_o and_o teach_v the_o scripture_n and_o also_o that_o he_o that_o serve_v not_o he_o altar_n nor_o prech_v not_o the_o gospel_n can_v not_o just_o live_v by_o the_o tenthes_o but_o be_v in_o conscience_n bind_v to_o restore_v the_o profit_n and_o fruit_n take_v thereby_o which_o my_o sayenge_n as_o it_o lie_v in_o word_n &_o sentence_n be_v seditious_a and_o slanderous_a to_o the_o king_n
