peace_n of_o the_o nation_n provide_v you_o by_o the_o same_o oath_n declare_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o dispense_v therewith_o and_o if_o the_o pope_n himself_o will_v also_o declare_v so_o

that_o this_o notion_n of_o antiquity_n though_o of_o great_a veneration_n in_o itself_o yet_o have_v be_v often_o use_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o truth_n and_o make_v a_o stale_a to_o
