majesty_n will_v quarrel_v with_o you_o for_o this_o vow_n as_o you_o explicate_v it_o though_o to_o tell_v you_o my_o sense_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o it_o stand_v with_o his_o prerogative_n that_o the_o pope_n shall_v have_v power_n over_o his_o subject_n which_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o he_o to_o send_v they_o without_o his_o leave_n to_o japan_n and_o china_n but_o this_o authoity_n you_o assume_v to_o yourselves_o and_o further_o for_o you_o do_v not_o only_o oblige_v your_o subject_n to_o come_v in_o or_o go_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n when_o you_o command_v they_o but_o play_v the_o judge_n of_o life_n and_o death_n upon_o the_o king_n natural_a subject_n without_o his_o leave_n or_o any_o crime_n that_o according_a to_o civil_a law_n deserve_v punishment_n you_o presume_v by_o your_o power_n to_o send_v they_o to_o watten_n or_o some_o such_o place_n wherein_o either_o yourselves_o have_v high_a justice_n or_o the_o high_a justice_n be_v at_o your_o

in_o england_n this_o take_v the_o whole_a story_n together_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v no_o less_o than_o make_v yourselves_o sovereign_n over_o his_o majesty_n subject_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o act_n of_o high_a treason_n yet_o all_o part_n of_o this_o action_n be_v evident_o in_o your_o hand_n in_o virtue_n of_o your_o obedience_n and_o your_o have_v such_o place_n of_o high_a justice_n in_o your_o command_n so_o that_o your_o subject_n have_v other_o sovereign_n than_o the_o king_n majesty_n who_o by_o consequence_n they_o ought_v to_o fear_v more_o than_o he_o since_o their_o power_n be_v more_o immediate_a and_o press_v and_o press_v on_o their_o conscience_n as_o for_o the_o practice_n it_o be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v use_v upon_o one_o thomas_n barton_n a_o eminent_a

in_o this_o word_n dependence_n for_o you_o turn_v it_o to_o be_v dependence_n by_o vow_n whereas_o more_o likely_a it_o mean_v dependence_n of_o interest_n and_o signify_v that_o it_o be_v your_o interest_n to_o engage_v the_o pope_n to_o you_o by_o maintain_v all_o height_n of_o supreme_a authority_n in_o he_o though_o it_o be_v ever_o so_o irrational_a and_o against_o god_n law_n for_o by_o so_o do_v you_o also_o can_v use_v it_o all_o for_o your_o own_o interest_n in_o procure_v for_o yourselves_o and_o friend_n whatever_o lie_v either_o in_o the_o pope_n authority_n or_o grace_n as_o

look_v to_o their_o discipline_n but_o on_o you_o they_o look_v as_o on_o a_o army_n manage_v by_o one_o man_n who_o weapon_n be_v pen_n and_o tongue_n and_o the_o art_n of_o negotiation_n and_o all_o plausible_a mean_n of_o commend_v yourselves_o to_o the_o world_n which_o you_o exercise_v in_o such_o a_o height_n as_o to_o have_v have_v the_o boldness_n to_o threaten_v the_o pope_n with_o a_o schism_n to_o tell_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n your_o tongue_n and_o pen_n have_v get_v he_o more_o dominion_n than_o his_o army_n to_o attempt_v break_v the_o liberty_n of_o venice_n to_o be_v able_a to_o raise_v sedition_n in_o most_o country_n and_o to_o be_v dreadful_a to_o the_o very_a king_n and_o prince_n and_o all_o this_o because_o as_o christ_n propose_v to_o his_o disciple_n the_o love_n of_o one_o another_o for_o the_o badge_n of_o christianity_n so_o your_o general_n propose_v to_o you_o blind_a obedience_n for_o the_o badge_n of_o a_o jesuit_n that_o be_v by_o cooperate_n with_o they_o to_o make_v they_o powerful_a and_o great_a lord_n and_o yourselves_o invincible_a and_o terrible_a to_o all_o that_o oppose_v you_o for_o this_o end_n you_o exalt_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n that_o you_o may_v get_v your_o opponent_n condemn_v in_o rome_n and_o then_o cry_v they_o down_o for_o heretic_n for_o this_o reason_n you_o teach_v the_o pope_n to_o have_v all_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n and_o other_o bishop_n to_o be_v but_o his_o deputy_n so_o join_v with_o your_o brother-presbyter_n in_o real_o destroy_v the_o hierarchy_n that_o when_o you_o by_o

believe_v mr._n white_n acknowledge_v a_o able_a man_n they_o be_v both_o damnable_a heresy_n and_o destructive_a of_o faith_n and_o church_n and_o many_o other_o also_o of_o our_o most_o learned_a

the_o comparison_n you_o make_v between_o yourselves_o and_o other_o tell_v we_o how_o you_o be_v by_o special_a vow_n exclude_v from_o all_o benefice_n and_o dignity_n by_o which_o the_o pope_n may_v win_v the_o affection_n of_o other_o churchman_n concern_v which_o i_o first_o inquire_v whether_o this_o be_v roundly_o true_a i_o doubt_v you_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o reject_v all_o the_o abbey_n and_o benefice_n annex_v to_o your_o college_n to_o verify_v this_o vow_n as_o you_o have_v set_v it_o down_o in_o your_o paper_n and_o therefore_o the_o effect_n of_o your_o vow_n be_v only_o that_o private_a man_n may_v not_o be_v alienate_v from_o your_o order_n with_o hope_n of_o quiet_a life_n in_o such_o benefice_n and_o not_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o power_n and_o honour_n follow_v it_o as_o be_v sufficient_o testify_v by_o another_o vow_n of_o you_o which_o be_v that_o if_o any_o of_o you_o for_o special_a reason_n be_v make_v bishop_n he_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o provincial_n or_o rector_n of_o the_o place_n of_o his_o residence_n and_o to_o take_v their_o advice_n in_o the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n which_o you_o extend_v as_o far_o as_o to_o cardinal_n to_o a_o capacity_n of_o which_o eminent_a dignity_n notwithstanding_o your_o special_a vow_n your_o dispensation_n easy_o reach_v so_o that_o your_o vow_n be_v no_o religious_a one_o of_o despise_v honour_n but_o a_o politic_a abuse_n mask_v under_o the_o veil_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o able_a man_n of_o your_o order_n may_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o and_o so_o the_o body_n may_v remain_v the_o strong_a and_o your_o general_n more_o potent_a to_o resist_v the_o pope_n himself_o neither_o do_v this_o any_o way_n diminish_v but_o increase_v your_o dependence_n on_o the_o pope_n both_o because_o it_o be_v by_o he_o your_o house_n be_v furnish_v with_o benefice_n and_o those_o never_o to_o return_v to_o the_o pope_n donation_n as_o because_o you_o oblige_v your_o

get_v the_o endearment_n due_a to_o the_o pope_n from_o those_o friend_n to_o the_o increase_n of_o your_o own_o power_n and_o riches_n and_o yourselves_o still_o find_v out_o new_a pretend_a necessity_n to_o beg_v more_o so_o that_o this_o holy_a vow_n of_o you_o no_o way_n make_v you_o less_o subject_a to_o the_o pope_n but_o to_o suck_v his_o pap_n the_o hard_a as_o those_o know_v who_o have_v see_v what_o pass_v in_o france_n and_o flanders_n these_o late_a year_n especial_o under_o the_o archduke_n leopold_n 10._o yet_o have_v i_o another_o doubt_v concern_v this_o vow_n of_o you_o
