with_o the_o greek_n for_o four_o reason_n first_o because_o that_o whilst_o a_o cause_n remain_v undecided_a it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a that_o the_o one_o party_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o

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

in_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o greek_n in_o these_o day_n do_v confess_v it_o and_o desire_v it_o may_v so_o continue_v so_o that_o with_o quietness_n justice_n may_v be_v administer_v by_o the_o magistrate_n whereas_o the_o leave_v of_o it_o to_o the_o inquisition_n with_o contradiction_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n may_v bring_v in_o a_o thousand_o inconvenience_n the_o four_o because_o 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

although_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v due_a to_o be_v do_v yet_o be_v it_o a_o act_n of_o superiority_n and_o jurisdiction_n which_o not_o be_v grant_v to_o the_o inquisitor_n but_o only_o

be_v also_o a_o act_n of_o superiority_n though_o without_o the_o oath_n it_o ought_v for_o to_o be_v do_v the_o other_o reason_n which_o they_o most_o frequent_o use_v be_v yet_o more_o cavillous_a they_o say_v that_o the_o judge_n of_o heresy_n bring_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n all_o thing_n annex_v or_o depend_v of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o command_v any_o nor_o cause_v they_o to_o swear_v nor_o punish_v but_o only_o in_o thing_n conjoin_v with_o heresy_n because_o that_o heresy_n be_v teach_v in_o book_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o they_o to_o command_v

and_o may_v several_o be_v judge_v although_o by_o some_o far_o fetch_v consequence_n it_o may_v be_v join_v in_o this_o manner_n every_o offence_n yea_o and_o every_o action_n may_v be_v join_v with_o heresy_n as_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o book_n those_o alone_o which_o contain_v heresy_n be_v subject_a to_o that_o office_n and_o those_o bookseller_n which_o do_v keep_v or_o sell_v any_o and_o these_o aught_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o inquisition_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o inquisitor_n may_v burden_n bookseller_n with_o receive_v of_o visit_n to_o make_v
