instead_o of_o this_o late_a call_v of_o allegiance_n &_o of_o give_v the_o child_n a_o wrong_a name_n as_o he_o say_v i_o see_v not_o by_o what_o least_o colour_n or_o show_v of_o reason_n it_o may_v

he_o name_v the_o second_o in_o the_o first_o place_n so_o do_v he_o principal_o prosecute_v the_o same_o &_o prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n thereof_o mention_v the_o other_o but_o only_o as_o by_o

spiritual_a supremacy_n yet_o in_o the_o very_a next_o period_n he_o contradict_v &_o overthrow_v himself_o therein_o for_o so_o much_o as_o divide_v the_o say_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n into_o 14._o

this_o point_n we_o shall_v satisfy_v also_o the_o second_o why_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o set_v down_o any_o particular_a confutation_n in_o his_o breve_n but_o only_o to_o say_v as_o he_o do_v in_o general_a that_o the_o integrity_n of_o catholic_a religion_n permit_v they_o not_o to_o take_v such_o a_o oath_n in_o which_o both_o cyvill_a and_o ecclesiastical_a point_n

whether_o there_o be_v any_o point_n in_o this_o oath_n belong_v to_o religion_n besides_o cyvill_a obedience_n very_o easy_o by_o four_o several_a and_o distinct_a way_n the_o first_o whereof_o

xxiii_o a_o other_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o pope_n word_n in_o his_o breve_n whereby_o will_v appear_v what_o his_o meaning_n be_v of_o the_o content_n of_o the_o oath_n breve_fw-la we_o have_v
