the_o answer_n of_o the_o one_o will_v be_v the_o sufficient_a conviction_n of_o either_o but_o first_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o ask_v whether_o by_o the_o church_n they_o mean_v the_o

church_n be_v mean_v any_o part_n only_o of_o the_o catholic_a as_o in_o particular_a the_o church_n of_o england_n then_o we_o own_v no_o head_n but_o the_o king_n alone_o and_o so_o here_o will_v

if_o we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o understand_v it_o as_o the_o ancient_n do_v but_o if_o they_o go_v about_o by_o this_o phrase_n to_o subject_v a_o king_n to_o the_o slavish_a humour_n of_o his_o

inferior_a magistrate_n with_o respect_n to_o private_a person_n be_v public_a yet_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n they_o be_v private_a person_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o
