we_o can_v believe_v the_o laiety_n honest_a enough_o but_o consider_v the_o influence_n the_o clergy_n have_v over_o they_o both_o by_o the_o respect_n which_o you_o bear_v they_o and_o by_o the_o

your_o regular_a clergy_n yourself_o acknowledge_v the_o immediate_a dependence_n they_o have_v on_o the_o pope_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o exemption_n but_o we_o know_v beside_o that_o all_o

these_o superior_n be_v subject_a to_o one_o another_o till_o all_o come_v at_o last_o to_o the_o general_n to_o who_o the_o whole_a order_n be_v absolute_o subject_a this_o general_n both_o life_n

do_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o walsh_n withrington_n and_o other_o your_o secular_a clergy_n as_o you_o call_v they_o indeed_o have_v not_o the_o same_o dependence_n and_o be_v they_o leave_v to_o their_o native_a liberty_n may_v do_v well_o enough_o but_o the_o pope_n have_v find_v out_o a_o expedient_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o his_o bow_n and_o require_v such_o a_o oath_n both_o from_o
