be_v possible_a but_o second_o as_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o your_o objection_n i_o say_v that_o a_o woman_n may_v contrive_v several_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o discovery_n of_o such_o a_o secret_a especial_o when_o she_o be_v general_o believe_v to_o be_v a_o man_n and_o if_o any_o of_o your_o friend_n shall_v be_v trouble_v with_o a_o swell_n in_o his_o belly_n will_v you_o present_o

pope_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o sometime_o meet_v with_o unavoidable_a difficulty_n through_o which_o we_o must_v force_v a_o passage_n over_o all_o the_o danger_n that_o attend_v '_o they_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o she_o be_v come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o her_o nine_o month_n when_o this_o misfortune_n happen_v it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o she_o be_v deliver_v before_o her_o due_a time_n or_o at_o least_o the_o thing_n be_v possible_a which_o be_v allow_v she_o can_v neither_o be_v accuse_v of_o imprudence_n nor_o we_o have_v any_o reason_n to_o wonder_v that_o she_o be_v able_a to_o conceal_v her_o great_a belly_n name_n if_o chronological_a difficulty_n amount_v to_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n against_o the_o existence_n of_o pope_n joan_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o several_a other_o pope_n be_v mere_a imaginary_a name_n but_o you_o tell_v i_o that_o chronologer_n do_v not_o agree_v in_o their_o calculation_n about_o the_o time_n of_o this_o accident_n it_o be_v true_a they_o do_v not_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o difference_n be_v obvious_a they_o who_o expunge_v our_o popess_n name_n out_o of_o the_o catalogue_n of_o pope_n be_v oblige_v dexterous_o to_o lengthen_v the_o life_n of_o her_o predecessor_n to_o fill_v up_o the_o breach_n which_o they_o have_v make_v but_o as_o you_o have_v chronological_a supputation_n that_o be_v accommodate_v to_o your_o opinion_n so_o i_o have_v other_o that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o i_o and_o therefore_o our_o controversy_n must_v be_v decide_v by_o other_o argument_n the_o objection_n which_o be_v ground_v on_o her_o voyage_n to_o athens_n under_o pretence_n that_o the_o study_n that_o be_v prosecute_v there_o at_o that_o time_n be_v not_o suitable_a to_o a_o young_a scholar_n be_v a_o mere_a frivolous_a cavil_v for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o suppose_v without_o the_o least_o proof_n that_o she_o be_v a_o young_a scholar_n at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o voyage_n and_o what_o reason_n can_v you_o allege_v why_o i_o may_v not_o suppose_v that_o she_o be_v old_a enough_o to_o be_v admit_v among_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o athenian_a philosopher_n or_o other_o professor_n in_o that_o academy_n but_o second_o i_o observe_v that_o some_o of_o those_o author_n who_o relate_v this_o history_n carry_v she_o straight_o to_o rome_n without_o mention_v athens_n you_o will_v perhaps_o look_v upon_o this_o concession_n as_o very_o advantageous_a to_o your_o party_n and_o reproach_v i_o with_o the_o contradiction_n of_o my_o author_n but_o i_o can_v easy_o ward_v this_o blow_n consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o that_o the_o same_o action_n as_o to_o the_o main_n be_v not_o always_o relate_v with_o the_o same_o circumstance_n and_o even_o sacred_a history_n may_v furnish_v i_o with_o several_a instance_n of_o such_o variation_n i_o acknowledge_v indeed_o
