unto_o we_o in_o the_o chapel_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o saint_n genenefue_n hear_v mass_n there_o celebrate_v by_o my_o lord_n the_o right_a reverend_a bishop_n of_o paris_n and_o endure_v the_o

say_a time_n we_o see_v she_o sometime_o in_o constitution_n countenance_n and_o speech_n as_o a_o person_n sound_a of_o body_n and_o mind_n and_o sometime_o dissigure_v with_o diverse_a foul_a

and_o by_o exclude_v generality_n to_o exclude_v likewise_o all_o specialty_n to_o he_o that_o shall_v look_v near_o into_o the_o matter_n these_o motion_n aforesaid_a be_v find_v not_o to_o
