of_o visitation_n therefore_o find_v no_o complete_a history_n of_o any_o visitation_n of_o our_o university_n except_o that_o of_o the_o long_a parliament_n i_o judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o give_v

matter_n ☞_o second_o however_o rigid_o the_o statute_n seem_v to_o be_v word_v yet_o none_o can_v judge_v that_o the_o king_n dispense_v power_n can_v be_v restrain_v since_o neither_o the_o founder_n can_v so_o bind_v either_o his_o sovereign_n or_o the_o pope_n nor_o can_v any_o of_o those_o bound_v their_o successor_n by_o any_o charter_n or_o grant_v from_o such_o inhaerent_a

statute_n for_o election_n if_o the_o bishop_n can_v not_o interpret_v their_o statute_n but_o in_o the_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n for_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a it_o may_v be_v know_v
