catholic_a prince_n that_o no_o particular_a lord_n may_v be_v capable_a of_o take_v possession_n of_o they_o as_o their_o property_n this_o be_v what_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n ought_v to_o regard_n

neither_o just_a nor_o possible_a to_o abandon_v this_o jurisdiction_n to_o private_a person_n since_o none_o but_o the_o king_n can_v be_v invest_v with_o it_o because_o when_o the_o pope_n have_v
