provide_v of_o able_a man_n and_o who_o be_v able_a man_n none_o can_v tell_v that_o understand_v not_o the_o office_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o secular_a clergyman_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o chooser_n of_o officer_n of_o their_o kind_n regulars_n of_o regular_a superior_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o donor_n of_o such_o benefice_n but_o the_o people_n first_o get_v a_o influence_n on_o the_o choose_n of_o bishop_n because_o it_o be_v rational_o believe_v those_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v most_o good_a who_o be_v in_o the_o people_n good_a like_n but_o when_o bishop_n grow_v to_o have_v

this_o if_o any_o clergyman_n have_v do_v the_o king_n service_n he_o find_v it_o the_o best_a way_n of_o recompense_n to_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v choose_v into_o a_o place_n of_o authority_n and_o
