for_o a_o seal_n at_o the_o beginning_n these_o letter_n which_o the_o pope_n thus_o send_v be_v but_o simple_a letter_n of_o favour_n and_o recommendation_n but_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o chapter_n

this_o be_v certain_a there_o may_v be_v use_v make_v of_o the_o example_n and_o thus_o when_o a_o considerable_a benefice_n shall_v be_v vacant_a the_o king_n may_v order_v that_o a_o letter_n be_v write_v to_o the_o patron_n and_o some_o person_n recommend_v to_o his_o nomination_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o the_o patron_n will_v nominate_v who_o his_o majesty_n have_v thus_o

of_o all_o churchman_n the_o king_n in_o this_o will_v have_v sufficient_a reason_n because_o he_o be_v protector_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a pillar_n of_o every_o state_n it_o be_v his_o interest_n to_o know_v whether_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v provide_v of_o benefice_n be_v orthodox_n and_o of_o good_a life_n lest_o they_o spread_v some_o bad_a doctrine_n among_o the_o
