you_o have_v see_v not_o sufficient_o confute_v 16_o and_o true_o if_o this_o argument_n of_o card._n bellarmine_n be_v of_o force_n it_o will_v in_o my_o opinion_n convince_v that_o not_o only_o

of_o any_o subjection_n per_fw-la se_fw-la of_o their_o temporal_a power_n to_o the_o pope_n spiritual_a authority_n but_o only_o of_o a_o bond_n of_o charity_n whereby_o all_o man_n be_v by_o the_o

to_o another_o 12._o to_o this_o reply_n i_o answer_v by_o show_v the_o disparity_n betwixt_o one_o temporal_a commonwealth_n compare_v to_o a_o other_o and_o a_o temporal_a commonwealth_n compare_v
