also_o admonish_v you_o that_o if_o those_o few_o example_n in_o cyprian_n time_n can_v prejudice_n the_o truth_n yet_o your_o bishop_n election_n be_v not_o confirm_v thereby_o for_o it_o may_v be_v

let_v we_o therefore_o come_v to_o examine_v cyprian_n judgement_n and_o see_v whether_o i_o have_v report_v true_o of_o he_o first_o as_o a_o trewante_n loath_a to_o go_v to_o school_n seek_v the_o

people_n from_o communicate_v with_o the_o ministry_n off_o those_o which_o have_v fall_v from_o the_o gospel_n unto_o idolatry_n to_o the_o confirmation_n whereof_o when_o he_o have_v allege_v the_o

then_o to_o be_v with_o out_o altogether_o or_o to_o have_v a_o neither_o as_o evil_n or_o worse_o than_o he_o but_o see_v you_o have_v both_o power_n to_o refuse_v the_o unworthly_a and_o to_o a_o

cyprian_a will_v have_v the_o people_n present_v at_o the_o election_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o choose_v see_n he_o have_v say_v immediate_o before_o that_o they_o have_v pour_v to_o choose_v it_o be_v well_o therefore_o that_o he_o add_v that_o it_o ougth_v to_o be_v do_v by_o their_o judgement_n so_o that_o if_o the_o church_n judge_v he_o not_o meet_v he_o ought_v
