in_o any_o one_o age_n it_o have_v be_v believe_v that_o st._n peter_n have_v power_n from_o christ_n which_o he_o leave_v to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n by_o which_o his_o successor_n in_o it_o can_v depose_v king_n than_o this_o must_v be_v a_o apostolical_a tradition_n and_o by_o consequence_n of_o equal_a authority_n with_o any_o thing_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o these_o general_n consideration_n about_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o tradition_n i_o shall_v add_v two_o other_o about_o the_o nature_n of_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a power_n by_o which_o we_o may_v judge_n of_o what_o extent_n the_o pope_n power_n must_v be_v if_o he_o have_v a_o authority_n to_o depose_v king_n and_o transfer_v their_o dominion_n to_o other_o person_n first_o when_o the_o sovereign_a power_n proceed_v in_o a_o legal_a way_n against_o its_o subject_n if_o either_o they_o abscond_v so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v find_v or_o have_v such_o a_o power_n about_o they_o that_o the_o sovereign_n can_v bring_v they_o to_o punishment_n he_o may_v declare_v they_o rebel_n and_o set_v price_n on_o their_o head_n and_o in_o that_o case_n it_o be_v as_o lawful_a for_o any_o subject_a to_o kill_v they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o executioner_n to_o put_v a_o condemn_a person_n to_o death_n these_o be_v the_o several_a way_n the_o law_n provide_v in_o those_o several_a case_n so_o when_o a_o pope_n depose_v a_o prince_n he_o may_v as_o lawful_o set_v on_o private_a assassinate_v to_o kill_v he_o as_o oblige_v his_o subject_n to_o rise_v with_o open_a force_n against_o he_o for_o if_o the_o pope_n have_v a_o power_n over_o he_o to_o depose_v he_o this_o clear_o follow_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o sovereign_a power_n and_o it_o be_v the_o course_n that_o sometime_o must_v be_v follow_v when_o the_o rebel_n can_v be_v no_o other_o way_n bring_v to_o deserve_a punishment_n and_o if_o the_o pope_n have_v the_o power_n of_o depose_v than_o a_o prince_n who_o after_o such_o a_o sentence_n carry_v himself_o as_o a_o king_n be_v a_o rebel_n against_o his_o supreme_a lord_n and_o be_v also_o a_o usurper_n for_o his_o title_n be_v destroy_v by_o the_o sentence_n he_o have_v no_o authority_n over_o his_o subject_n and_o therefore_o may_v be_v as_o lawful_o kill_v as_o any_o rebel_n or_o usurper_n second_o the_o supreme_a power_n may_v in_o case_n of_o great_a necessity_n when_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o itself_o material_o just_a pass_v over_o such_o form_n as_o aught_o in_o ordinary_a case_n to_o be_v observe_v i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o a_o great_a fire_n subordinate_a magistrate_n may_v blow_v up_o house_n but_o doubtless_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o all_o as_o a_o king_n in_o a_o absolute_a monarchy_n and_o such_o be_v the_o papal_a power_n if_o these_o opinion_n be_v true_a may_v dispense_v with_o some_o form_n when_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o itself_o just_a and_o if_o the_o chief_a design_n of_o a_o law_n be_v pursue_v the_o circumstantial_a part_n of_o it_o may_v upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n be_v supersede_v therefore_o if_o the_o pope_n be_v supreme_a over_o all_o king_n and_o have_v this_o depose_n power_n then_o though_o by_o the_o canon_n a_o king_n ought_v to_o be_v first_o a_o year_n excommunicate_v for_o his_o heresy_n or_o favour_a heretic_n and_o at_o the_o year_n end_v he_o may_v be_v depose_v by_o the_o pope_n there_o be_v also_o other_o rule_n for_o excommunication_n though_o the_o summary_n way_n in_o some_o case_n may_v be_v use_v yet_o all_o these_o be_v but_o circumstantial_a and_o lesser_a matter_n the_o design_n of_o that_o law_n be_v that_o no_o heretical_a prince_n or_o favourer_n of_o heresy_n be_v continue_v in_o his_o power_n the_o other_o be_v but_o form_n of_o law_n that_o can_v be_v indispensible_o necessary_a in_o all_o case_n beside_o the_o very_a canon_n law_n teach_v that_o when_o there_o be_v both_o a_o notorietas_fw-la juris_fw-la &_o facti_fw-la summary_n proceed_n be_v legal_a when_o than_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o instance_n be_v heretical_a and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o obstinate_a favourer_n of_o these_o heresy_n and_o will_v not_o extirpate_v they_o summary_n and_o secret_n proceed_n be_v justifiable_a there_o be_v no_o hope_n that_o bull_n breves_fw-la or_o citation_n will_v do_v any_o good_a in_o this_o case_n these_o will_v on_o the_o contrary_a alarm_n the_o state_n and_o bring_v all_o the_o party_n under_o great_a hazard_n therefore_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o supreme_a power_n it_o be_v most_o just_o infer_v that_o though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o public_a sentence_n of_o deposition_n according_a to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n yet_o all_o these_o may_v be_v dispense_v with_o and_o a_o secret_a and_o summary_n one_o may_v do_v as_o well_o these_o position_n be_v such_o that_o i_o can_v fancy_n any_o just_a exception_n to_o which_o they_o be_v liable_a and_o from_o all_o these_o lay_v together_o the_o inference_n will_v undeniable_o follow_v that_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o power_n of_o depose_v king_n be_v lodge_v with_o the_o pope_n by_o a_o divine_a authority_n and_o that_o by_o consequence_n private_a person_n may_v conspire_v to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o a_o king_n so_o depose_v even_o though_o there_o be_v no_o public_a sentence_n give_v about_o it_o but_o before_o i_o bring_v the_o evidence_n for_o all_o this_o i_o shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n will_v a_o little_a reflect_v on_o the_o position_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o in_o which_o he_o will_v find_v a_o answer_n to_o all_o the_o exception_n that_o can_v be_v make_v against_o the_o follow_a evidence_n by_o the_o first_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n he_o will_v see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o pretend_v these_o be_v dark_a age_n so_o that_o what_o be_v do_v in_o a_o ignorant_a time_n can_v oblige_v the_o world_n when_o thing_n be_v see_v in_o a_o better_a light_n but_o if_o the_o church_n have_v a_o authority_n from_o christ_n that_o shall_v last_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o must_v be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o age_n be_v a_o very_a good_a answer_n when_o make_v by_o a_o protestant_n but_o can_v signify_v nothing_o in_o a_o papist_n mouth_n by_o the_o second_o of_o the_o church_n authority_n in_o settle_v moral_a rule_n for_o practice_n it_o appear_v how_o fond_a that_o distinction_n be_v which_o they_o make_v between_o a_o canon_n and_o a_o decree_n it_o be_v true_a a_o decree_n about_o a_o particular_a case_n in_o which_o there_o be_v some_o matter_n of_o fact_n may_v be_v wrong_a according_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o yet_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n remain_v entire_a for_o instance_n in_o the_o depose_n a_o prince_n or_o condemn_v a_o man_n for_o heresy_n the_o church_n may_v either_o by_o false_a witness_n or_o mistake_v a_o man_n word_n be_v draw_v to_o pass_v a_o unjust_a sentence_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o misrepresentation_n of_o the_o fact_n but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n here_o where_o a_o decree_n be_v make_v as_o a_o perpetual_a rule_n of_o practice_n this_o must_v be_v of_o the_o same_o authority_n of_o a_o canon_n about_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o church_n may_v mislead_v the_o people_n in_o matter_n indispensable_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o such_o be_v the_o obedience_n to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n by_o the_o first_o way_n of_o judge_v of_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n from_o what_o the_o most_o receive_a writer_n in_o any_o age_n deliver_v as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o schoolman_n and_o canonist_n be_v as_o competent_a conveyer_n of_o tradition_n from_o the_o twelve_o age_n downward_o as_o the_o father_n be_v from_o the_o six_o age_n upward_o and_o lay_v this_o for_o a_o principle_n that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o same_o in_o

what_o be_v say_v for_o or_o against_o a_o opinion_n in_o a_o more_o exact_a manner_n than_o the_o father_n do_v who_o be_v carry_v with_o the_o heat_n they_o be_v sometime_o in_o go_v off_o from_o the_o purpose_n and_o general_o affect_v eloquence_n which_o be_v the_o most_o improper_a style_n for_o nice_a matter_n whereas_o the_o schoolman_n write_v in_o a_o blunt_a way_n only_o consider_v the_o purpose_n they_o be_v about_o coin_v the_o most_o barbarous_a word_n they_o can_v light_v on_o when_o they_o

that_o if_o either_o of_o these_o have_v assert_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o age_n they_o live_v in_o the_o other_o party_n have_v such_o emulation_n

the_o father_n write_v only_o against_o heretic_n or_o other_o enemy_n to_o christianity_n they_o may_v have_v mistake_v something_n without_o so_o public_a a_o discovery_n as_o be_v likely_a to_o

of_o the_o church_n as_o be_v the_o pope_n from_o gregory_n the_o first_o his_o time_n upward_o they_o be_v both_o alike_o christ_n vicar_n and_o st._n peter_n successor_n so_o that_o all_o the_o

the_o three_o mark_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o tradition_n of_o any_o age_n from_o the_o decision_n of_o a_o general_n council_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o four_o council_n of_o
