if_o they_o he_o of_o good_a and_o honest_a de●…our_n &_o well_o learned_a to_o this_o we_o answer_v say_v the_o pope_n that_o if_o they_o be_v get_v of_o lawful_a marriage_n &_o there_o be_v none_o

this_o no_o man_n can_v not_o deny_v but_o y_o t_o law_n speak_v of_o priest_n child_n y_o it_o be_v get_v in_o lawful_a matrimony_n wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v y_z t_z priest_n be_v then_o marry_v yea_o and_o the_o law_n call_v their_o marriage_n lawful_a which_o must_v also_o be_v note_v so_o y_z t_z man_n may_v see_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o i_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v elder_a than_o their_o law_n also_o in_o that_o same_o title_n the_o pope_n say_v we_o have_v understand_v that_o n._n bear_v and_o get_v in_o priesthode_n of_o a_o litteras_fw-la

yea_o and_o of_o they_o that_o be_v get_v in_o lawful_a marriage_n and_o not_o in_o fornication_n wherefore_o the_o pope_n suppose_v that_o priest_n may_v have_v a_o lawful_a matrimony_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o when_o man_n find_v in_o the_o law_n mention_v make_v of_o priest_n child_n they_o shall_v rather_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v get_v in_o matrimony_n then_o in_o

more_o with_o honesty_n of_o priesthode_n to_o grant_v that_o they_o have_v wyve_n rather_o than_o whore_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o the_o emperor_n eye_o law_n say_v to_o priest_n wyve_n we_o
