not_o if_o forbid_v by_o divine_a law_n as_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v if_o the_o king_n be_v suppose_v not_o yet_o repent_v the_o king_n will_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o ecclesiastic_a law_n which_o molinaeus_n say_v but_o to_o the_o divine_a which_o none_o deny_v the_o like_a be_v in_o a_o judge_n of_o petty_a cause_n command_v by_o the_o king_n to_o give_v sentence_n against_o equity_n this_o judge_n will_v not_o do_v so_o if_o he_o be_v wife_n be_v the_o king_n therefore_o subject_a to_o the_o judge_n no_o very_o but_o the_o judge_n be_v so_o subject_a to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v above_o the_o earthly_a king_n the_o empire_n of_o his_o heavenly_a king_n who_o forbid_v injury_n to_o be_v do_v to_o any_o but_o if_o you_o suppose_v here_o some_o law_n not_o divine_a but_o positive_a proceed_v from_o humane_a will_n to_o this_o law_n whosoever_o shall_v affirm_v a_o king_n to_o be_v subject_n so_o as_o to_o be_v unable_a in_o any_o case_n to_o relax_v the_o legal_a bond_n he_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v a_o king_n the_o canon_n of_o many_o synod_n forbid_v episcopal_a seat_n to_o be_v erect_v into_o metropolitan_a they_o forbid_v new_a bishop_n or_o metropolitan_o to_o be_v constitute_v or_o a_o bishop_n to_o do_v sacred_a office_n in_o another_o diocese_n they_o forbid_v bishop_n to_o undertake_v civil_a employment_n nevertheless_o by_o command_n of_o the_o emperor_n all_o this_o be_v do_v very_o often_o the_o greek_a interpreter_n give_v the_o reason_n because_o the_o emperor_n be_v not_o subject_a neither_o to_o the_o law_n nor_o canon_n next_o molinaeus_n inquire_v whether_o the_o king_n counsellor_n must_v be_v doctor_n of_o divinity_n or_o it_o be_v also_o necessary_a for_o the_o king_n to_o be_v a_o learned_a divine_a very_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n divine_a be_v requisite_a in_o a_o king_n and_o in_o his_o chief_a counsellor_n not_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o king_n they_o counsellor_n but_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v right_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o their_o place_n but_o i_o say_v nor_o such_o knowledge_n as_o to_o distinguish_v every_o truth_n from_o falsehood_n for_o the_o great_a professor_n of_o theology_n can_v promise_v himself_o this_o but_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v or_o do_v and_o thing_n not_o necessary_a between_o heretical_a and_o not_o heretical_a and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n i_o conceive_v both_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o art_n of_o govern_v be_v desire_v in_o a_o king_n but_o say_v molinaeus_n it_o be_v fit_a the_o less_o learned_a be_v teach_v by_o the_o more_o learned_a this_o argument_n if_o it_o prove_v the_o less_o learned_a must_v submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o more_o learned_a then_o in_o synod_n also_o the_o pastor_n ought_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o doctor_n for_o molinaeus_n name_v they_o as_o man_n of_o the_o great_a learning_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o pastor_n have_v not_o less_o if_o not_o more_o right_a than_o doctor_n our_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o use_v the_o testimony_n of_o panormitan_n that_o a_o private_a person_n judgement_n confirm_v with_o better_a authority_n of_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o patriarch_n to_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o part_n of_o the_o more_o learned_a to_o teach_v the_o less_o learned_a but_o not_o to_o have_v command_n over_o they_o therefore_o a_o country_n judge_n as_o the_o law_n tell_v we_o be_v not_o oblige_v by_o the_o response_n of_o lawyer_n nor_o be_v a_o sick_a man_n bind_v to_o the_o prescript_n of_o his_o physician_n but_o so_o far_o as_o no_o reason_n of_o his_o own_o strong_o persuade_v he_o to_o the_o contrary_n another_o question_n follow_v whether_o a_o magistrate_n may_v adjoyn_v himself_o to_o the_o lesser_a number_n of_o pastor_n strange_a that_o this_o shall_v be_v ask_v by_o a_o pastor_n reform_v see_v all_o magistrate_n who_o have_v in_o our_o age_n reform_v the_o church_n right_o believe_v the_o lesser_a number_n of_o pastor_n against_o the_o great_a but_o in_o the_o nicene_n synod_n constantine_n yield_v to_o the_o more_o and_o do_v not_o addict_v himself_o to_o the_o few_o yea_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o plain_a and_o manifest_a truth_n which_o the_o great_a number_n at_o that_o time_n by_o god_n blessing_n follow_v this_o do_v not_o always_o happen_v for_o the_o great_a part_n oft_o overcome_v the_o better_a but_o if_o sentence_n be_v to_o be_v number_v not_o weigh_v the_o arimin_n council_n of_o cccc_fw-la bishop_n will_v be_v of_o more_o value_n than_o the_o nicene_n of_o cxviii_o and_o what_o shall_v the_o emperor_n have_v do_v when_o as_o jerom_n testify_v the_o whole_a world_n groan_v and_o wonder_v it_o be_v turn_v arian_n be_v paucity_n then_o to_o be_v despise_v multitude_n to_o be_v follow_v no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a mind_n will_v say_v so_o the_o two_o king_n be_v blame_v for_o not_o believe_v one_o michaia_n rather_o than_o four_o hundred_o false_a prophet_n well_o then_o the_o different_a party_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v but_o the_o prince_n ought_v to_o lend_v his_o authority_n to_o that_o cause_n not_o which_o have_v most_o suffrage_n but_o who_o equity_n the_o vigour_n of_o truth_n well_o try_v have_v commend_v to_o he_o that_o rule_n every_o man_n must_v be_v believe_v in_o his_o own_o art_n have_v some_o probability_n but_o not_o perpetual_a certainty_n and_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o

a_o private_a man_n but_o comprehend_v all_o the_o chief_a point_n and_o of_o such_o a_o measure_n that_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v want_v it_o may_v be_v supply_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o other_o and_o i_o have_v say_v before_o the_o like_a measure_n of_o other_o art_n be_v desire_v in_o a_o king_n though_o i_o doubt_v not_o if_o there_o be_v any_o science_n to_o which_o a_o king_n shall_v
