have_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n different_a rite_n and_o manner_n the_o bishop_n of_o such_o city_n or_o diocese_n shall_v provide_v fit_a man_n to_o celebrate_v divine_a service_n

some_o restrain_v the_o word_n of_o innocentius_n to_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a tongue_n only_o as_o if_o he_o have_v only_o allow_v the_o have_v of_o the_o service_n in_o different_a tongue_n in_o those_o city_n and_o place_n where_o greek_o and_o latin_n meet_v same_o but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o these_o word_n shall_v be_v thus_o restrain_v see_v there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o this_o

i_o know_v not_o wherefore_o to_o grow_v to_o a_o conclusion_n it_o appear_v that_o ancient_o all_o church_n &_o that_o ever_o most_o of_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v their_o service_n in_o a_o
