though_o it_o be_v without_o the_o consent_n and_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n themselves_o 11._o we_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n

the_o church_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n yet_o that_o the_o church_n several_o or_o joint_o have_v no_o power_n to_o force_v
