upon_o the_o profuse_a endowment_n of_o church_n the_o suspending_a it_o for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n give_v the_o monk_n scope_n and_o elbow-room_n and_o it_o be_v not_o unlike_a that_o within_o

enlargement_n of_o the_o power_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v likely_a grant_v he_o at_o his_o first_o dispatch_n from_o rome_n and_o therefore_o these_o carry_v in_o they_o very_o probable_o more_o

part_n of_o this_o whole_a matter_n be_v that_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o church-land_n for_o it_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o canon-law_n convenire_fw-la that_o the_o pope_n can_v alienate_v land_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n in_o any_o manner_n or_o for_o any_o necessity_n whatsoever_o and_o by_o that_o same_o canon_n which_o be_v decree_v by_o pope_n symmachus_n and_o a_o roman_a synod_n about_o the_o year_n 500_o the_o giver_n and_o seller_n of_o church-land_n as_o well_o as_o the_o possessor_n be_v to_o be_v degrade_v and_o anathematise_v and_o any_o churchman_n whatsoever_o may_v oppose_v such_o alienation_n and_o these_o notwithstanding_o may_v recover_v the_o land_n so_o alienate_v the_o pope_n according_a to_o this_o decree_n can_v not_o confirm_v the_o alienation_n that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o king_n henry_n and_o if_o he_o do_v confirm_v they_o the_o act_n must_v be_v null_a in_o law_n and_o can_v be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o present_a incumbent_n or_o his_o successor_n to_o claim_v his_o right_n therefore_o pursuant_n to_o this_o the_o power_n give_v to_o pool_n authorize_v he_o only_o to_o indemnify_v and_o discharge_v the_o possessor_n of_o the_o church-land_n for_o the_o good_n that_o they_o have_v embezelled_a and_o for_o the_o rent_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v for_o it_o run_v in_o these_o word_n which_o i_o have_v mark_v in_o the_o breve_fw-la itself_o that_o you_o may_v ready_o turn_v to_o it_o and_o to_o agree_v and_o transact_v with_o the_o possessor_n of_o the_o good_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o rent_n which_o they_o have_v unlawful_o receive_v and_o for_o the_o movable_a good_n which_o they_o have_v consume_v and_o for_o free_v and_o discharge_v they_o for_o they_o they_o restore_v first_o if_o that_o shall_v seem_v expedient_a to_o you_o the_o land_n themselves_o that_o be_v undue_o detain_v by_o they_o by_o these_o power_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o pope_n only_o forgive_v what_o be_v past_a but_o stand_v to_o the_o right_n of_o the_o church_n as_o to_o the_o restitution_n of_o the_o land_n themselves_o and_o that_o clause_n if_o that_o shall_v seem_v to_o you_o expedient_a belong_v only_o to_o the_o order_n and_o point_n of_o time_n so_o that_o the_o discharge_n what_o be_v past_a may_v have_v be_v do_v by_o cardinal_n pool_n before_o or_o after_o restitution_n as_o he_o please_v but_o restitution_n be_v still_o to_o be_v make_v and_o he_o have_v by_o these_o power_n no_o authority_n to_o confirm_v the_o alienation_n that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o king_n henry_n the_o 8_o the_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v but_o these_o limitation_n be_v so_o distasteful_a both_o in_o england_n and_o at_o the_o emperor_n court_n that_o pool_n find_v it_o necessary_a to_o send_v his_o
