ut imperator, ait Catholicae fidei propugnatorem, ut
Rex Hispaniae, aut primogenitum Ecclesiae folium senet:
quod postremum facit R ex Francorum.
Cum autem Articulis ista Lacis universalis West-
phalicae contraria esse constet, in quibus impera-
hoc necessitate publicae satutis coactus, approban-
tibus Rege Franciae, et Catholicis Germaniae Prin-
cipibus, et Republica Veneta, ac proinde magna
Catholici orbis parte, Protestantibus tantum
juris et libertatis concessit, quantum jure concedere
potuit; (et Pontificis Ecclesiaeque Romanae juri
in Protestantes in tantum derogabit, inquantum
deronare potuit; super est tantum, ut ostendamus,
potestatem habuisse imperatorem et Imperium juri
Pontificis, quantum ad obligationem Protestantium
petendi ab eo matrimoniorum dispensationem
derogandi. Nam constat, Imperatorem et imper
rium voluisse derogare Pontisiciae potestati in Pro-
testantes, inquantum eiderogari potest. Patet
ex verbis generalissimis, clarissimis, exquisitissi-
mis Westphalicae pacis, osnabrugae et M onasterii,
intertentu coronae Gallicae et Reipublica venetae
conclusae, Recessibus imperii, et ex capitulatione
Impe.
