reputation_n of_o c._n campeggio_n that_o i_o call_v rodulphus_fw-la bastard_n since_o i_o quote_v the_o very_a discourse_n wherein_o he_o be_v so_o call_v which_o be_v compose_v by_o sr._n william_n

error_n so_o much_o the_o more_o frank_o because_o it_o be_v the_o only_a mistake_n among_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o which_o the_o author_n accuse_v i_o that_o be_v well_o ground_v ii_o m._n le_fw-fr grand_fw-fr labour_n to_o destroy_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o sorbonn_n in_o favour_n of_o henry_n but_o in_o regard_n this_o decision_n be_v print_v the_o year_n follow_v and_o acknowledge_v for_o true_a and_o real_a since_o no_o person_n in_o those_o time_n tax_n it_o of_o be_v counterfeit_v we_o have_v no_o reason_n now_o to_o suspect_v it_o for_o neither_o do_v

to_o this_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o tarbe_n be_v continue_v to_o solicit_v in_o henry_n behalf_n at_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n after_o he_o be_v make_v cardinal_n and_o that_o the_o king_n have_v

the_o particular_a of_o this_o decision_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o they_o make_v it_o so_o that_o all_o m._n le_fw-fr grana_n argument_n can_v never_o prove_v any_o thing_n more_o than_o only_o that_o it_o have_v occasion_v great_a dispute_n and_o that_o beda_n be_v a_o real_a promoter_n of_o sedition_n by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o ecclesiastic_n of_o france_n be_v very_o ill_o satisfy_v with_o the_o conduct_n of_o francis_n the_o first_o who_o have_v sell_v their_o liberty_n by_o the_o concordate_n of_o which_o the_o university_n of_o paris_n be_v so_o sensible_a and_o for_o that_o reason_n full_a of_o male_a content_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v perhaps_o that_o so_o many_o of_o the_o french_a clergy_n be_v so_o ill_o affect_v to_o henry_n cause_n because_o they_o know_v that_o francis_n the_o first_o so_o passionate_o support_v his_o interest_n after_o all_o the_o author_n confess_v that_o he_o find_v in_o the_o scrutiny_n fifty_o three_o voice_n for_o the_o divorce_n and_o forty_o two_o against_o it_o and_o five_o that_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o matter_n shall_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o justisie_n the_o print_a decision_n which_o only_o say_v that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o doctor_n be_v for_o the_o divorce_n and_o declare_v the_o marriage_n illegal_a which_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o explanation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o first_o precedent_n that_o that_o same_o declaration_n will_v do_v the_o king_n more_o hurt_v than_o it_o will_v advance_v his_o affair_n in_o regard_n all_o the_o other_o university_n have_v judge_v in_o his_o favour_n whereas_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sorbonn_n favour_v he_o only_o by_o the_o plurality_n of_o voice_n iii_o the_o author_n who_o pretend_v to_o publish_v a_o extract_n of_o the_o reason_n which_o the_o favourer_n of_o henry_n allege_v against_o his_o marriage_n have_v forget_v the_o principal_a and_o that_o which_o support_v all_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n explain_v by_o tradition_n be_v the_o rule_n according_a to_o which_o all_o controversy_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v they_o allege_v a_o perpetual_a succession_n of_o provincial_n and_o general_a council_n of_o pope_n and_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o greek_a

nevertheless_o the_o author_n say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o the_o english_a quote_v the_o canon_n of_o some_o provincial_a council_n concern_v incontinency_n with_o certain_a passage_n out_o of_o

want_v in_o this_o relation_n which_o be_v more_o essential_a to_o a_o honest_a man_n than_o a_o great_a stock_n of_o capacity_n for_o the_o canon_n of_o council_n and_o the_o passage_n out_o of_o

grand_fw-fr will_v have_v acquire_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o sincere_a historian_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v mention_v this_o particular_a moreover_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v pass_v over_o in_o

ought_v to_o grant_v these_o maxim_n and_o if_o he_o will_v be_v think_v a_o faithful_a historian_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v they_o over_o in_o silence_n but_o though_o he_o do_v not_o set_v

if_o her_o husband_n die_v without_o child_n it_o have_v be_v always_o consider_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o a_o exception_n to_o the_o general_n rule_n so_o that_o in_o regard_n it_o be_v
