Proved by the laws and pract[i]ce of twenty Kings of Judah, England, and France as also by the testimonies of the Universities of Oxford and Prague, fifty four of ... nobles of Bohemia and Morania, two hundred and fifty years agone, and als[o] one hundred and twenty authors beside.

temporality_n but_o prelate_n have_v be_v unfaithful_a steward_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o compel_v they_o to_o deliver_v up_o their_o stewardship_n that_o they_o may_v be_v no_o
