dangerous_o to_o all_o purpose_n by_o share_v with_o another_o indirect_a power_n as_o with_o a_o direct_a one_o but_o to_o come_v now_o to_o his_o argument_n the_o first_o be_v this_o the_o civil_a power_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a therefore_o he_o that_o have_v the_o supreme_a power_n spiritual_a have_v right_a to_o command_v temporal_a prince_n and_o dispose_v of_o their_o temporall_n in_o order_n to_o the_o spiritual_a as_o for_o the_o dictinction_n of_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a let_v we_o consider_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v say_v intelligible_o that_o the_o temporal_a or_o civil_a power_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n that_o those_o word_n can_v be_v make_v sense_n for_o when_o we_o say_v one_o power_n be_v subject_a to_o another_o power_n the_o meaning_n either_o be_v that_o he_o which_o have_v the_o one_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o that_o have_v the_o other_o or_o that_o the_o one_o power_n be_v to_o the_o other_o as_o the_o mean_n to_o the_o end_n â—…r_o we_o can_v understand_v that_o one_o power_n have_v power_n over_o another_o power_n or_o that_o one_o power_n can_v have_v right_o or_o command_v over_o another_o for_o subjection_n command_n right_o and_o power_n be_v accident_n not_o of_o power_n but_o of_o person_n one_o power_n may_v be_v subordinate_a to_o another_o as_o the_o art_n of_o a_o saddler_n to_o the_o art_n of_o a_o rider_n if_o then_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o civil_a government_n be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o spiritual_a felicity_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o if_o a_o king_n have_v the_o civil_a power_n and_o the_o pope_n the_o spiritual_a that_o therefore_o the_o king_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v the_o pope_n more_o than_o every_o saddler_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v every_o rider_n therefore_o as_o from_o subordination_n of_o a_o art_n can_v be_v infer_v the_o subjection_n of_o the_o professor_n so_o from_o the_o subordination_n of_o a_o government_n can_v be_v infer_v the_o subjection_n of_o the_o governor_n when_o therefore_o he_o say_v the_o civil_a power_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o civil_a sovereign_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a sovereign_n and_o the_o argument_n stand_v thus_o the_o civil_a sovereign_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o spiritual_a therefore_o the_o spiritual_a prince_n may_v command_v temporal_a prince_n where_o the_o conclusion_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o antecedent_n he_o shall_v have_v prove_v but_o to_o prove_v it_o he_o allege_v first_o this_o reason_n king_n and_o pope_n clergy_n and_o laity_n make_v but_o one_o commonwealth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v but_o one_o church_n and_o in_o all_o body_n the_o member_n depend_v one_o upon_o another_o but_o thing_n spiritual_a depend_v not_o of_o thing_n temporal_a therefore_o temporal_a depend_v on_o spiritual_a and_o therefore_o be_v subject_a to_o they_o in_o which_o argumentation_n there_o be_v two_o gross_a error_n one_o be_v that_o all_o christian_a king_n pope_n clergy_n and_o all_o other_o christian_a man_n make_v but_o one_o commonwealth_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o france_n be_v one_o commonwealth_n spain_n another_o and_o venice_n a_o three_o etc._n etc._n and_o these_o consist_v of_o christian_n and_o therefore_o also_o be_v several_a

to_o run_v from_o those_o that_o will_v not_o learn_v of_o he_o for_o though_o the_o pope_n be_v christ_n only_a vicar_n yet_o he_o can_v exercise_v his_o government_n till_o our_o saviour_n second_o

his_o first_o argument_n be_v that_o he_o say_v the_o member_n of_o every_o commonwealth_n as_o of_o a_o natural_a body_n depend_v one_o of_o another_o it_o be_v true_a they_o cohaere_fw-la together_o but_o they_o depend_v only_o on_o the_o sovereign_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n which_o fail_v the_o commonwealth_n be_v dissolve_v into_o a_o civil_a war_n no_o one_o man_n so_o much_o as_o cohaere_v to_o another_o for_o want_v of_o a_o common_a dependence_n on_o a_o know_a sovereign_n just_o as_o the_o member_n of_o the_o natural_a body_n dissolve_v into_o earth_n for_o want_v of_o a_o soul_n to_o hold_v they_o together_o therefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o similitude_n from_o whence_o to_o infer_v a_o dependence_n of_o the_o laity_n on_o the_o clergy_n or_o of_o the_o temporal_a officer_n on_o the_o spiritual_a but_o of_o both_o on_o the_o civil_a sovereign_n which_o ought_v indeed_o to_o direct_v his_o civil_a command_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n but_o be_v not_o therefore_o subject_a to_o any_o but_o god_n himself_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o labour_a fallacy_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n to_o deceive_v such_o man_n as_o

spirit_n be_v there_o not_o therefore_o spirit_n that_o neither_o have_v body_n nor_o be_v mere_a imagination_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o address_v of_o our_o saviour_n command_n
