also_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o inherent_a right_n in_o every_o town_n or_o family_n all_o over_o the_o world_n and_o that_o therefore_o particular_a town_n and_o

over_o they_o that_o so_o the_o body_n and_o head_n may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n this_o be_v the_o main_a argument_n of_o the_o pontifician_n for_o the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n answ_n

though_o indeed_o now_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o his_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n yet_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o man_n as_o we_o be_v though_o glorify_v and_o cease_v not_o to_o rule_v and_o govern_v his_o church_n here_o below_o for_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a kingdom_n isa_n 9.7_o as_o when_o king_n james_n be_v translate_v from_o scotland_n to_o england_n and_o live_v here_o he_o do_v not_o

as_o for_o a_o vicar_n or_o deputy_n here_o below_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a we_o confess_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o head_n be_v absolute_o monarchical_a but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o officer_n it_o be_v aristocratical_a object_n 4_o yea_o but_o the_o church-catholike_a can_v be_v visible_a because_o it_o want_v a_o proper_a existence_n of_o its_o own_o
