that_o a_o man_n may_v swear_v it_o for_o although_o the_o magistrate_n have_v authority_n to_o propose_v a_o oath_n of_o mere_a civil_a allegiance_n unto_o lay_a subject_n yet_o he_o have_v not_o

the_o pope_n which_o for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n he_o have_v possess_v and_o practise_v and_o especial_o the_o magistrate_n can_v not_o pronose_a this_o oath_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n see_v

very_a doubtful_a whether_o the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n have_v authority_n to_o propose_v such_o a_o oath_n yea_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o can_v because_o as_o above_o be_v prove_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o contain_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v against_o faith_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o counsel_n the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n can_v have_v no_o authority_n at_o all_o much_o less_o full_a and_o lawful_a autho_n itie_n to_o propose_v this_o oath_n and_o so_o neither_o can_v this_o clause_n be_v admit_v 60._o add_v to_o this_o that_o what_o soever_o widdrington_n say_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n by_o this_o oath_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o decide_v what_o power_n the_o pope_n have_v from_o christ_n the_o author_n and_o s._n peter_n the_o pope_n first_o predecessor_n for_o what_o be_v it_o other_o to_o determine_v and_o decide_v a_o question_n then_o to_o declare_v that_o one_o part_n of_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o follow_v towitt_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v deprive_v or_o depose_v a_o prince_n and_o that_o the_o contrary_n be_v to_o be_v abjure_v as_o impious_a and_o heretical_a and_o if_o any_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v define_v this_o question_n or_o any_o other_o how_o can_v he_o determine_v more_o plain_o and_o resolutelie_o as_o for_o example_n the_o church_n define_v that_o there_o be_v 7._o sacrament_n and_o pronounce_v anathema_n against_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n which_o say_v there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o not_o 7._o do_v she_o not_o in_o this_o define_v the_o question_n even_o so_o our_o prince_n and_o parliament_n by_o this_o oath_n have_v decree_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o depose_v or_o deprive_v a_o prince_n and_o they_o oblige_v the_o subject_n to_o swear_v this_o part_n and_o to_o abjure_v the_o contrary_a as_o heresy_n be_v not_o this_o then_o to_o determine_v 61._o whereas_o widdrington_n allege_v 11_o disp_n th._n c._n 7._o n._n 11_o that_o the_o faculty_n of_o divinity_n in_o paris_n and_o mentz_n do_v oblige_v those_o that_o be_v to_o proceed_v doctor_n not_o to_o teach_v or_o preach_v public_o that_o our_o b._n lady_n be_v conceive_v in_o original_a sin_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o define_v the_o controversy_n this_o make_v rather_o against_o he_o for_o they_o also_o do_v in_o this_o define_v and_o though_o not_o absolute_o yet_o as_o much_o as_o by_o their_o authority_n they_o can_v and_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o oblige_v their_o subject_n to_o abjure_v as_o heresy_n the_o contrary_a opinion_n of_o the_o thomist_n for_o that_o be_v absolute_o to_o determine_v and_o to_o arrogate_v the_o pope_n authority_n wherefore_o see_v that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n do_v oblige_v catholic_n to_o abjure_v as_o heresy_n and_o under_o the_o penalty_n also_o of_o a_o praemunire_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v deprive_v or_o depose_v a_o prince_n it_o follow_v that_o they_o absolute_o determine_v of_o such_o a_o spiritual_a proposition_n and_o matter_n of_o divinity_n &_o against_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o pope_n and_o against_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o lateran_n council_n and_o so_o in_o this_o they_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n authority_n to_o which_o it_o appertain_v to_o define_v what_o be_v heresy_n and_o consequent_o to_o swear_v that_o this_o oath_n be_v propose_v by_o lawful_a authority_n be_v to_o swear_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v spiritual_a authority_n and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o have_v authority_n to_o define_v what_o proposition_n be_v heretical_a at_o least_o this_o argument_n make_v it_o doubtful_a lest_o this_o clause_n import_v thus_o much_o and_o so_o be_v not_o
