of_o many_o famous_a divine_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o chief_a secular_a priest_n in_o england_n but_o these_o uncharitable_a proceed_n be_v hatch_v by_o a_o sort_n of_o arrogant_a and_o

be_v to_o lead_v people_n into_o scruple_n and_o be_v there_o to_o put_v a_o ring_n upon_o they_o abusive_o term_v the_o yoke_n of_o our_o bless_a lady_n by_o which_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o lead_v they_o to_o their_o opinion_n and_o censure_n as_o man_n do_v bear_n to_o their_o purpose_n oh_o wise_a venetian_n how_o sacred_a be_v your_o law_n will_v a_o man_n think_v that_o such_o blindness_n or_o rather_o envious_a peevishness_n can_v be_v in_o catholic_n as_o what_o they_o understand_v not_o to_o censure_v at_o their_o pleasure_n without_o any_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o present_o judge_v they_o as_o fall_v man_n who_o they_o dislike_v although_o indeed_o firm_a than_o themselves_o and_o very_o well_o able_a to_o teach_v most_o of_o their_o guide_n but_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o aforesaid_a author_n have_v so_o full_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o take_v the_o say_a oath_n that_o no_o man_n needs_o speak_v more_o in_o proof_n thereof_o as_o not_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v better_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o i_o refer_v every_o man_n to_o the_o say_a writer_n to_o inform_v themselves_o lest_o they_o demeritorious_o suffer_v for_o refuse_v the_o ●ame_n this_o only_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o insert_v as_o a_o caution_n to_o some_o that_o consider_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o pope_n force_v opinion_n as_o appear_v by_o

especial_o by_o some_o suggestor_n who_o although_o to_o my_o own_o knowledge_n do_v teach_v this_o oath_n lawful_a in_o private_a to_o man_n of_o quality_n yet_o in_o public_a and_o to_o his_o
