be_v prefer_v to_o ecclesiastical_a dignity_n or_o promotion_n may_v pay_v their_o first-fruit_n according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 26_o of_o henry_n the_o eight_o whereby_o it_o be_v require_v that_o they_o shall_v pay_v they_o in_o according_a to_o the_o full_a value_n of_o such_o dignity_n benefice_n and_o promotion_n and_o not_o as_o they_o stand_v partial_o rate_v in_o the_o
