to_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a argument_n that_o this_o right_n belong_v unto_o it_o be_v

that_o it_o be_v evident_o false_a that_o the_o pope_n have_v authority_n and_o rule_n over_o king_n and_o prince_n it_o be_v certain_a even_o by_o this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n and_o
