be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o church_n may_v alter_v their_o own_o government_n so_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o themselves_o to_o alter_v as_o they_o shall_v think_v most_o convenient_a as_o

neither_o must_v be_v touch_v but_o by_o the_o priest_n themselves_o neither_o must_v we_o confine_v this_o prohibition_n to_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n only_o but_o we_o must_v extend_v it_o
