To your eighth, ninth and tenth Reason: we say, if you are ⟨p. 31⟩true to the Popes Supremacy, you cannot be true to the Kings Government:—if you deny that, (as you seem to do) you deny the foundation of your Religion, yea, the sum of Christianity, as Bellarmine saith. Whether you speak as you think in the eighth and ninth Reason, we know not; for you can equivocate:—we know your Brethren will never say so, when they have obtained a Toleration▪ and we know it is no new thing to have a few moderate men offer that in adversity, which their Brethren will never own in prosperity. Indeed you can juggle so, as that some shall write for Supremacy, and others against it; and laugh among your selves to see how you cheat the world: we know what the Sorbonists stand upon at this time: however, you are punished here only for actual disobedience, upon what principle soever you disobey: if some of you think loyally, you all live disobediently to the Ecclesiastical Laws of this Realm.
