do_v avowed_o cast_v off_o the_o care_n of_o their_o flock_n shall_v i_o here_o tell_v of_o the_o relaxation_n of_o all_o the_o ancient_a rule_n about_o the_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o churchman_n which_o these_o latter_a age_n have_v invent_v and_o mention_v how_o child_n be_v make_v bishop_n how_o they_o allow_v of_o plurality_n non-residencies_a union_n commendam_n gratia_n expectativa'_v with_o a_o great_a many_o more_o corruption_n which_o be_v every_o day_n authorize_v and_o grant_v at_o rome_n and_o so_o zealous_a be_v they_o for_o these_o that_o they_o struggle_v hard_o against_o

of_o s._n gyran_n with_o their_o follower_n have_v meet_v with_o and_o thus_o whatever_o individual_v that_o church_n may_v have_v produce_v yet_o the_o corruption_n i_o have_v hint_v be_v notorious_o public_o and_o general_o practise_v in_o it_o and_o no_o where_o so_o avowed_o as_o at_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n but_o to_o compen_v this_o defect_n of_o the_o superior_a clergy_n they_o have_v
