christ_n as_o be_v supreme_a pastor_n this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o bellarmin_n suarez_n mariana_n becanus_n hessius_fw-la lessius_fw-la tolet_n valentia_n gretser_n hereau_n and_o all_o those_o of_o the_o society_n who_o with_o so_o much_o heat_n have_v advance_v the_o pope_n depose_v power_n in_o fine_a this_o be_v know_v and_o common_a even_o lippis_fw-la &_o tonsoribus_fw-la so_o that_o though_o the_o power_n of_o depose_v be_v in_o it_o self_n equivocal_a and_o may_v imply_v a_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a power_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o pope_n it_o be_v then_o fix_v to_o a_o spiritual_a power_n and_o be_v so_o understand_v by_o all_o he_o still_o pursue_v i_o thus_o that_o by_o this_o oath_n it_o be_v not_o only_o swear_v that_o the_o pope_n neither_o of_o himself_o nor_o by_o any_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o see_v of_o rome_n have_v any_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n but_o also_o that_o the_o pope_n by_o no_o other_o mean_n with_o any_o other_o have_v power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n which_o imply_v that_o no_o body_n can_v depose_v the_o king_n not_o a_o pope_n nor_o king_n nor_o emperor_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o this_o be_v his_o consequence_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o very_a hard_a opinion_n of_o both_o the_o framer_n and_o taker_n of_o the_o oath_n the_o one_o for_o force_a man_n to_o swear_v against_o a_o noonday_n light_n and_o experience_n and_o the_o other_o for_o so_o swear_v but_o to_o defeat_v this_o consequent_a no_o more_o be_v requisite_a than_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n by_o no_o other_o mean_n with_o any_o other_o have_v power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n so_o that_o still_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n power_n or_o authority_n which_o be_v only_o renounce_v by_o this_o oath_n not_o any_o other_o for_o those_o word_n can_v only_o import_v that_o the_o pope_n what_o ever_o mean_v he_o make_v use_v of_o though_o he_o have_v the_o emperor_n or_o the_o great_a mogul_n on_o his_o side_n to_o aid_v he_o have_v no_o power_n or_o authority_n to_o depose_v the_o king_n and_o this_o be_v truth_n though_o it_o may_v be_v the_o pope_n alone_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o king_n and_o can_v bring_v more_o force_n into_o the_o field_n by_o this_o you_o see_v what_o little_a care_n he_o have_v in_o derive_v his_o consequence_n which_o though_o feeble_a he_o leave_v to_o shift_v for_o themselves_o possible_o he_o may_v advance_v far_o and_o make_v this_o objection_n may_v not_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o powerful_a prince_n and_o injure_v by_o the_o king_n right_o himself_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n and_o so_o if_o victory_n be_v of_o his_o side_n dispossess_v the_o king_n of_o his_o dominion_n undoubted_o he_o may_v but_o not_o by_o that_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o be_v renounce_v by_o the_o oath_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o common_a notion_n all_o man_n have_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o depose_v when_o place_v in_o the_o pope_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v war_n with_o the_o king_n or_o other_o prince_n if_o he_o be_v strong_a than_o they_o he_o may_v dispossess_v they_o as_o they_o may_v he_o but_o then_o this_o be_v not_o do_v by_o what_o we_o call_v papal_a power_n or_o authority_n but_o by_o natural_a strength_n and_o reason_n and_o in_o such_o case_n we_o must_v use_v the_o same_o term_n as_o custom_n give_v to_o other_o prince_n when_o they_o be_v victorious_a as_o that_o they_o have_v conquer_v or_o subdue_v such_o a_o prince_n or_o king_n it_o not_o be_v so_o usual_a to_o say_v they_o have_v depose_v such_o a_o prince_n and_o when_o the_o word_n depose_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o power_n of_o a_o temporal_a prince_n all_o man_n understand_v it_o to_o be_v a_o temporal_a power_n but_o when_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o pope_n no_o man_n think_v upon_o any_o other_o than_o his_o spiritual_a power_n as_o christ_n vicar_n when_o therefore_o the_o pope_n conquer_v by_o his_o temporal_a sword_n the_o circumstance_n he_o be_v in_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n in_o what_o sense_n the_o word_n depose_v power_n be_v use_v from_o hence_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o from_o the_o common_a use_n or_o plain_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n depose_v when_o join_v to_o the_o pope_n power_n without_o other_o circumstance_n be_v mean_v only_o his_o spiritual_a power_n and_o that_o without_o any_o equivocation_n or_o secret_a reservation_n for_o where_o nothing_o be_v conceal_v or_o hide_v nothing_o be_v reserve_v the_o next_o clause_n he_o jump_v upon_o be_v this_o i_o do_v believe_v in_o my_o conscience_n and_o be_o resolve_v that_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o have_v power_n to_o absolve_v i_o from_o this_o oath_n this_o clause_n he_o tell_v you_o be_v no_o more_o true_a than_o the_o former_a and_o i_o be_o much_o of_o his_o mind_n the_o reason_n he_o give_v be_v because_o the_o king_n by_o quit_v his_o crown_n may_v quit_v i_o of_o my_o allegiancc_n beside_o the_o power_n of_o victory_n transfer_v allegiance_n from_o one_o king_n to_o another_o this_o branch_n i_o confess_v have_v not_o much_o of_o swear_v in_o it_o but_o be_v full_a of_o solid_a truth_n for_o although_o the_o power_n of_o victory_n may_v transfer_v allegiance_n from_o one_o prince_n to_o another_o and_o the_o king_n by_o quit_v his_o crown_n quit_v i_o of_o my_o allegiance_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o do_v by_o any_o absolution_n for_o absolution_n or_o absolve_v from_o oath_n be_v by_o use_n and_o custom_n term_n appropriate_v to_o act_n of_o spiritual_a or_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n as_o be_v likewise_o absolution_n from_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v always_o understand_v in_o this_o oath_n this_o be_v the_o common_a notion_n of_o the_o word_n without_o any_o equivocation_n or_o secret_a reservation_n and_o true_o if_o the_o translation_n of_o allegiance_n from_o prince_n to_o prince_n or_o from_o king_n to_o his_o successor_n by_o a_o voluntary_a gift_n may_v be_v term_v absolution_n from_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n with_o as_o much_o justice_n a_o die_a prince_n may_v be_v say_v to_o absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o oath_n by_o transfer_v their_o allegiance_n to_o his_o successor_n which_o be_v by_o oath_n oblige_v to_o the_o predecessor_n for_o though_o by_o death_n the_o person_n be_v take_v from_o the_o dignity_n which_o be_v continue_v in_o the_o successor_n yet_o in_o his_o sense_n of_o absolution_n the_o subject_n be_v as_o true_o absolve_v or_o quit_v of_o his_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n give_v to_o the_o predecessor_n as_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v if_o resignation_n have_v be_v make_v to_o the_o successor_n before_o death_n to_o allude_v therefore_o to_o the_o lameness_n of_o his_o discourse_n i_o introduce_v he_o in_o the_o last_o answer_n i_o make_v to_o this_o objection_n put_v this_o question_n what_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v die_v be_v not_o the_o subject_a quit_v of_o his_o allegiance_n show_v by_o the_o folly_n of_o that_o question_n how_o far_o he_o prevaricate_v from_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o oath_n but_o after_o all_o this_o pother_n about_o nothing_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o not_o only_o the_o power_n of_o depose_v in_o general_a but_o even_o when_o it_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o pope_n in_o particular_a as_o also_o the_o power_n of_o absolve_v be_v term_n equivocal_a or_o imply_v a_o secret_a reservation_n be_v it_o not_o in_o the_o sphere_n of_o concomitant_a circumstance_n to_o clear_v they_o from_o that_o state_n and_o fix_v they_o to_o a_o manifest_a certainty_n thus_o than_o i_o discourse_v the_o design_n of_o this_o oath_n be_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o king_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n from_o the_o pretend_a spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o pope_n in_o depose_v prince_n and_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o
