they_o they_o be_v content_v to_o refer_v the_o matter_n to_o john_n roderiguez_n grand_a vicar_n of_o alcala_n who_o tell_v ignatius_n that_o the_o juridical_a information_n which_o have_v be_v

by_o the_o charm_a flatter_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o crime_n of_o st._n ignatius_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n this_o the_o inquisitor_n be_v convince_v of_o and_o therefore_o acquit_v

of_o your_o consequence_n and_o all_o your_o erroneous_a deduction_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v venture_v once_o more_o on_o bouhour_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o great_a man_n live_v have_v a_o

what_o will_v you_o infer_v it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o god_n shall_v perform_v all_o these_o miracle_n mere_o in_o testimony_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a sanctity_n of_o ignatius_n to_o
