now_o they_o have_v if_o the_o office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v contain_v within_o the_o same_o be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o take_v away_o and_o further_o we_o say_v if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o use_n nor_o end_n of_o the_o study_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n than_o hope_v of_o reward_n and_o maintenance_n by_o some_o office_n and_o

only_a knowledge_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n they_o may_v reap_v that_o reward_n and_o maintenance_n nay_o sithence_o by_o experience_n we_o have_v know_v that_o some_o who_o never_o unclasp_v the_o institution_n of_o justinian_n out_o of_o the_o same_o to_o learn_v the_o definition_n of_o civil_a justice_n have_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v authorize_v to_o exercise_v the_o office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n how_o shall_v the_o study_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v further_v by_o these_o office_n and_o function_n when_o as_o without_o any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n these_o office_n and_o function_n have_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v daily_o undertake_v and_o execute_v to_o the_o full_a and_o what_o man_n then_o if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o reward_n for_o civilian_n will_v ten_o or_o twelve_o year_n together_o beat_v his_o brain_n and_o trouble_v his_o wit_n in_o the_o study_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n

the_o decay_n of_o ●eere-brewers_n or_o what_o use_n be_v there_o of_o they_o in_o like_a sort_n if_o man_n live_v only_o by_o the_o use_n office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n and_o that_o man_n live_v not_o as_o he_o say_v by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n within_o the_o realm_n what_o folly_n be_v it_o to_o study_v the_o one_o whereas_o without_o the_o knowledge_n
