of_o this_o pope_n joan_n pope_n leo_n the_o ix_o write_v to_o michael_n than_o patriarch_n of_o constantinople_n about_o the_o precedency_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o abate_v his_o pride_n

perceive_v another_o very_a evident_a sign_n of_o the_o falsity_n of_o this_o story_n viz._n in_o that_o all_o the_o author_n that_o live_v in_o this_o pope_n joan_n time_n and_o for_o 400_o year_n

but_o speak_v of_o it_o rather_o as_o a_o fable_n all_o of_o they_o report_v it_o with_o uncertainty_n and_o as_o a_o mere_a common_a bruit_n iv_o then_o as_o to_o what_o give_v the_o occasion_n of_o
