by_o the_o bond_n of_o excommunication_n by_o the_o same_o he_o can_v loose_v the_o people_n from_o their_o oath_n of_o fidelity_n and_o obedience_n he_o can_v oblige_v the_o same_o people_n under_o

pass_v that_o it_o hinder_v not_o the_o salvation_n of_o christian_a people_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o both_o greg._n 7_o and_o innocent_a 4._o when_o they_o depose_v emperor_n to_o

of_o soul_n the_o safety_n of_o religion_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o church_n require_v it_o depend_v not_o on_o the_o uncertain_a opinion_n of_o man_n but_o the_o divine_a ordination_n of_o

he_o call_v proof_n from_o scripture_n if_o you_o or_o any_o else_o think_v it_o so_o you_o shall_v find_v i_o reasonable_a but_o indeed_o it_o stick_v with_o i_o let_v we_o see_v the_o ecclesiastical_a primacy_n of_o the_o pope_n say_v he_o be_v found_v in_o scripture_n and_o tradition_n and_o this_o primacy_n extend_v to_o king_n and_o emperor_n and_o contain_v most_o ample_a

all_o very_a true_a thus_o far_o we_o be_v right_a only_o i_o take_v this_o most_o ample_a power_n to_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o most_o ample_a ecclesiastical_a power_n for_o that_o be_v all_o which_o ecclesiastical_a primacy_n import_v which_o ecclesiastical_a power_n that_o it_o extend_v to_o king_n and_o emperor_n no_o king_n nor_o emperor_n who_o acknowledge_v the_o ecclesiastical_a

not_o the_o worst_a of_o the_o case_n it_o be_v pretend_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o depose_n doctrine_n that_o it_o rely_v on_o divine_a right_n and_o the_o hot_a abetter_n of_o it_o will_v

be_v that_o subjection_n to_o prince_n be_v command_v by_o god_n law_n that_o which_o take_v away_o this_o subjection_n must_v be_v god_n law_n too_o or_o nothing_o and_o indeed_o consider_v the_o

so_o considerable_a a_o part_n now_o that_o his_o law_n teach_v we_o be_v to_o obey_v temporal_a prince_n be_v both_o plain_a in_o itself_o and_o as_o i_o come_v from_o say_v plain_o confess_v by_o every_o body_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a we_o can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n obey_v two_o power_n command_v contrary_a thing_n wherefore_o i_o can_v see_v but_o to_o require_v obedience_n in_o

which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n intolerable_a in_o any_o christian_n so_o i_o fear_v it_o be_v unavoidable_a in_o those_o who_o put_v a_o temporal_a virtue_n in_o the_o spiritual_a power_n for_o that_o virtue_n plain_o oblige_v to_o obedience_n in_o temporal_n to_o which_o obedience_n we_o be_v oblige_v by_o another_o virtue_n that_o of_o the_o temporal_a power_n and_o this_o be_v to_o

have_v assurance_n from_o those_o who_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o credit_n that_o king_n be_v inferior_a only_o to_o god_n and_o have_v none_o above_o they_o but_o he_o alone_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o superiority_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v ordinary_a enough_o for_o the_o same_o man_n to_o be_v both_o superior_a and_o inferior_a to_o another_o in_o several_a respect_n as_o a_o father_n to_o a_o son_n who_o be_v a_o magistrate_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v no_o reconcile_n this_o doctrine_n with_o that_o of_o a_o
