all_o be_v a_o general_a tenet_n among_o catholic_n that_o all_o ordinary_n be_v successor_n to_o the_o apostle_n &_o have_v their_o authority_n immediate_o from_o jesus_n christ_n &_o consequent_o aâ_n immovable_a &_o absolute_a in_o their_o kind_n as_o the_o pope_n in_o he_o so_o that_o all_o immediate_a influence_n from_o the_o pope_n upon_o the_o catholic_n of_o england_n be_v cut_v of_o

that_o these_o ordinary_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v or_o receive_v any_o special_a command_n from_o the_o pope_n of_o what_o nature_n soever_o if_o either_o contrary_a to_o the_o custom_n or_o

whereupon_o these_o two_o general_a tenet_n may_v be_v exact_v of_o these_o ordinary_n &_o of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a &_o lay_a catholic_n of_o the_o kingdom_n first_o that_o no_o catholic_a of_o

as_o these_o ordinary_n above_o mention_a who_o may_v &_o aught_o to_o oblige_v themselves_o not_o to_o receive_v any_o command_n or_o order_n from_o the_o pope_n as_o above_o without_o leave_n from_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n which_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n heretofore_o in_o catholic_a time_n in_o england_n be_v in_o now_o in_o france_n &_o all_o other_o state_n &_o kingdom_n whereas_o i_o say_v these_o ordinary_n may_v seem_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o title_n to_o give_v suspicion_n of_o their_o pretention_n to_o the_o temporalitye_n of_o the_o bishopricke_n where_o of_o they_o shall_v bear_v the_o title_n which_o can_v be_v just_o suspect_v the_o land_n be_v sell_v by_o order_n of_o parliament_n yet_o may_v they_o be_v oblige_v by_o oath_n to_o renounce_v all_o claim_n &_o

all_o other_o ecclesiastical_a &_o clergy_n man_n whatsoever_o oblige_v themselves_o by_o oath_n to_o depend_v immediate_o on_o the_o aforesaid_a ordinary_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v by_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n &_o not_o to_o exercise_v any_o ecclesiastical_a function_n or_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n but_o by_o the_o leave_n &_o as_o derive_v &_o receive_v immediate_o from_o

lay_v catholic_n of_o the_o kingdom_n will_v be_v subject_a in_o matter_n of_o religion_n &_o conscience_n to_o these_o ordinary_n who_o be_v their_o true_a &_o lawful_a pastor_n according_a to_o

far_o be_v oblige_v both_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n &_o by_o their_o particular_a interest_n to_o be_v watchful_a over_o the_o person_n &_o action_n of_o the_o priest_n who_o they_o appoint_v under_o they_o to_o gâide_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o laity_n it_o will_v be_v of_o no_o small_a security_n to_o the_o state_n to_o admonish_v &_o charge_v these_o ordinary_n to_o
