to_o swear_v the_o oath_n to_o the_o pope_n he_o have_v a_o notary_n by_o he_o who_o attest_v that_o he_o take_v this_o oath_n against_o his_o will_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v it_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n he_o make_v no_o protestation_n that_o he_o take_v that_o oath_n against_o his_o will_n but_o he_o repeat_v a_o protestation_n twice_o at_o the_o high_a altar_n that_o he_o intend_v not_o by_o that_o oath_n to_o the_o pope_n to_o oblige_v himself_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o king_n prerogative_n or_o to_o

against_o his_o will_n which_o as_o it_o have_v be_v ridiculous_a in_o itself_o so_o be_v very_o far_o contrary_a to_o that_o native_a singleness_n of_o heart_n in_o which_o he_o always_o act_v 41._o he_o say_v 2●2_n there_o be_v a_o ancient_a law_n against_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n acknowledge_v a_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n upon_o which_o the_o king_n raise_v a_o suit_n against_o his_o

a_o easy_a answer_n to_o this_o charge_n since_o that_o law_n have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o spiritual_a authority_n matter_n of_o law_n be_v thing_n of_o too_o delicate_a a_o nature_n for_o so_o slight_a a_o man_n as_o mr._n varillas_n to_o look_v into_o they_o he_o represent_v this_o as_o one_o single_a law_n that_o be_v very_o old_a and_o that_o relate_v only_o to_o temporal_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v know_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o law_n he_o will_v have_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a number_n of_o law_n make_v in_o the_o reign_v of_o many_o of_o our_o king_n such_z as_o edward_z the_o first_o edward_z the_o three_o richard_n the_o second_o henry_n the_o four_o and_o henry_n the_o 5_o all_o relate_n to_o this_o matter_n and_o these_o law_n be_v make_v in_o express_a word_n against_o all_o that_o bring_v bull_n and_o provision_n from_o rome_n to_o ecclesiastical_a benefice_n 42._o he_o say_v ibid._n the_o motion_n of_o the_o clergy_n in_o their_o own_o defence_n can_v not_o but_o be_v feeble_a since_o they_o have_v two_o such_o treacherous_a head_n as_o cranmer_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o lee_n archbishop_n of_o york_n so_o they_o make_v a_o submission_n to_o the_o king_n but_o he_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o unless_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v the_o same_o authority_n over_o the_o ecclesiastical_a body_n that_o he_o have_v over_o his_o other_o subject_n and_o thus_o without_o think_v on_o what_o they_o do_v they_o furnish_v the_o king_n with_o a_o pretence_n of_o call_v himself_o head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n cranmer_z be_v so_o little_o concern_v in_o this_o matter_n that_o it_o be_v pass_v two_o year_n before_o he_o be_v archbishop_n while_o warham_n be_v archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n for_o the_o submission_n be_v make_v in_o march_n 1531_o and_o he_o be_v consecrate_v in_o march_n 1533._o
