which_o subject_n each_o nation_n to_o their_o proper_a prelate_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n pretend_v to_o be_v above_o the_o canon_n therefore_o the_o greek_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o romish_a officer_n in_o this_o controversy_n the_o second_v be_v because_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o before_o the_o division_n the_o grecian_n be_v in_o temporal_a judgement_n subject_a to_o the_o secular_a magistrate_n and_o in_o spiritual_a to_o their_o superior_n therefore_o it_o be_v just_a to_o have_v their_o right_a and_o custom_n maintain_v to_o they_o the_o three_o be_v because_o if_o the_o prince_n shall_v grant_v the_o inquisition_n power_n to_o judge_v the_o greek_n he_o shall_v deprive_v himself_o of_o his_o proper_a authority_n which_o he_o may_v

the_o most_o renown_a commonwealth_n give_v the_o greek_n leave_n to_o live_v according_a to_o their_o custom_n but_o their_o custom_n be_v that_o in_o secular_a thing_n and_o in_o the_o punish_n of_o any_o manner_n of_o offence_n they_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o prince_n and_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o shall_v obey_v their_o priest_n therefore_o maintain_v the_o protection_n which_o

inquisitor_n that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o confessor_n they_o may_v get_v they_o to_o work_v the_o best_a effect_n they_o can_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o agreement_n be_v delude_v and_o grow_v out_o of_o use_n and_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o when_o a_o index_n be_v print_v within_o this_o city_n they_o do_v endeavour_v to_o have_v those_o new_a prohibition_n insert_v in_o they_o which_o

if_o that_o any_o be_v by_o they_o approve_v the_o prince_n can_v hinder_v although_o he_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v dangerous_a but_o that_o within_o his_o dominion_n it_o may_v be_v have_v print_v
