i_o presuppose_v france_n be_v one_o street_n and_o one_o part_n of_o the_o city_n i._n e._n of_o the_o papal_a kingdom_n nor_o can_v any_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o gallican_n church_n or_o the_o

the_o pope_n they_o do_v so_o account_v it_o by_o call_v the_o king_n of_o france_n the_o most_o christian_n king_n and_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v worthy_a of_o remark_n that_o even_o in_o st._n john_n time_n france_n be_v by_o way_n of_o excellency_n style_v the_o province_n because_o of_o all_o the_o province_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n france_n which_o be_v

questionless_a intend_v by_o that_o expression_n the_o most_o excellent_a part_n of_o all_o so_o that_o it_o be_v from_o thence_o very_o natural_a to_o understand_v france_n by_o the_o ten_o part_n
