it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n that_o now_o be_v in_o condemn_v the_o late_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o in_o challenge_v a_o power_n to_o depose_v temporal_a prince_n demand_v of_o english_a catholic_n the_o aforesaid_a temporal_a allegiance_n and_o usurp_v that_o authority_n which_o christ_n have_v not_o give_v he_o 5_o that_o although_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o pope_n have_v such_o a_o authority_n yet_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v but_o probable_a it_o be_v titulus_fw-la sine_fw-la re_fw-la a_o title_n which_o can_v never_o be_v

alike_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o conditional_a
disiunctive_a proposition_n as_o i_o have_v often_o repeat_v before_o second_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o prove_v the_o same_o by_o this_o argument_n his_o majesty_n be_v persuade_v â—hat_n the_o

my_o adversary_n untrue_o affirm_v but_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o false_a damnable_a impious_a and_o heretical_a doctrine_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o ought_v by_o all_o catholic_n to_o be_v abhor_v detest_a and_o abjure_v so_o from_o their_o heart_n as_o i_o have_v clear_o prove_v before_o and_o as_o for_o the_o speculative_a doctrine_n of_o depose_v prince_n i_o neither_o

140_o last_o i_o conclude_v say_v m._n fitzherbert_n 32._o fitzherbert_n nu_fw-la 32._o that_o albeit_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o oath_n to_o make_v it_o unlawful_a yet_o this_o only_a clause_n may_v suffice_v to_o do_v it_o yea_o and_o aught_o to_o move_v all_o catholic_n to_o refuse_v it_o for_o sure_o he_o must_v be_v a_o catholic_a of_o a_o strange_a conscience_n that_o can_v persuade_v himself_o to_o detest_v abjure_v and_o abhor_v from_o his_o heart_n a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o best_a catholic_a writer_n ancient_a and_o modern_a and_o confirm_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o diverse_a general_n and_o provincial_a counsel_n as_o experience_n have_v show_v for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n so_o as_o thou_o see_v good_a reader_n what_o widdrington_n gain_v by_o his_o wrangle_n see_v that_o the_o further_o he_o go_v the_o further_o he_o entangle_v himself_o still_o in_o a_o inextricable_a labyrinth_n of_o absurdity_n while_o he_o seek_v to_o entangle_v the_o conscience_n of_o catholic_n in_o the_o snare_n of_o his_o pretend_a probability_n and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o point_n 141._o but_o contrariwise_o i_o conclude_v that_o this_o clause_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v the_o oath_n unlawful_a or_o to_o move_v any_o catholic_a to_o refuse_v the_o same_o for_o sure_o he_o must_v be_v a_o catholic_a of_o a_o strange_a conscience_n and_o carry_v away_o with_o the_o like_a fanatical_a zeal_n and_o bloody_a maxim_n that_o the_o powder-traitor_n be_v that_o can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o the_o murder_n of_o prince_n be_v excommunicate_v or_o deprive_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o doctrine_n thereof_o which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o conditional_a

depose_v prince_n be_v manifest_o abjure_v in_o this_o oath_n as_o impious_a &_o heretical_a i_o charge_v he_o true_o in_o two_o respect_n the_o one_o because_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o affirm_v
