expresseth
with
so
much

so
many

himself

that
he
was
forced
to
mention
it
;
by
the
false
boasting
of
their
Revelations
Although
he

The
Prophet
speaks
not
in
an

what
he
prophesies
is
the
Book
of
the

all

he
understands
what
he

he
can
either

in

places

nine
Questions

conclusion
of

Book
.
Personal

Catholicks
Personal

Government
2. P. 243. That it is necessary for the personal security of Kings and Princes , and for the peace and quiet of Kingdoms , that it may be clearly made manifest , what the Authority and Power is , that a forreign Prince doth challenge in another Princes Dominions contrary to , and above the Laws of the Land , and what obedience it is that subjects may pay to such a forreign Prince , without the privity , and contrary to the command of his own Soveraign ; which cannot be done by a general Answer , but by distinct assigning the bounds of the Popes Temporal and Spiritual Power in England ; and what the full intent of them is , that the King may discern whether he hath enough of either to preserve himself and the Peace of the Kingdom .
3. P. 245. That till such time as the Roman-Catholick Subjects of England give as good security to the King for their Fidelity and peaceable behaviour , as all his other subject do , they have no cause to wonder that they may be made subject to such Laws and restraints , as may disable them from being dangerous ; when they profess to owe obedience to a forreign Prince , who doth as much profess not to be a friend to their Countrey , and will not declare what that obedience is .
4. P. 9 , 101. That the Roman Catholick Subjects of England have a more immediate dependance on the Pope , than is allowed in any Catholick Countryes : and that those who under pretence of Religion refuse to declare , that it is in no Earthly Power to absolve them from their Fidelity to the King , do refuse to give as full satisfaction and security for their Allegiance , as Catholick Subjects do give for their Fidelity to Catholick Kings : P. 246. there being no French Roman Catholick who dares refuse to do it .
5. P. 71 , 72. That there is so much the more reason to require this , since the late instance of the Irish Rebellion , wherein the Pope absolved the Kings Subjects from their Oaths , and took upon himself to be their General in the Person of his Nuntio , P. 247. and assumed the exercise of the Regal Power , both at Land and Sea , and imprisoned those Catholicks , and threatned to take away their Lives who had promoted the peace , and desired to return to the Kings subjection ; and hath since given a severe check to those of the Irish Nobility and Clergie , who had declared that the Pope had no Power to dispense with their Fidelity to his Majesty , or to absolve them from any Oaths they should take to that purpose : and imployed his Nuntio to discountenance and suppress that Declaration , and to take care that it should proceed no further ; P. 75. and that Cardianl Barbarine at that same time put them in mind , that the Kingdom of England was still under Excommunication ; and since that , the Pope hath made many Bishops in Ireland , which his Predecessors had forborn to do from the death of Queen Elizabeth , to A. D. 1640. And therefore there is no reason to believe , that the Court of Rome doth recede from its former principles , as to these things .

very
thing

a
manner

What
must
we

it

also

the
Spiritual
Iurisdiction
inherent
in
the
Pope
,
the
Temporal
Rights
and
Power
of
the
King
(

of
his
Subjects
)
are
not

abridged
,
or
prejudiced
.
Which
assertion
,
hath
been
alwayes
maintained
in
the
Pope
not
contradicting
it
;
from
whence
it
follows
,
that
it
is
agreeable
to
