province_n do_v strain_v a_o point_n beyond_o their_o usual_a manner_n to_o this_o aught_o the_o confessor_n to_o have_v have_v some_o regard_n and_o by_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v thus_o strict_o

that_o when_o ambassador_n and_o their_o family_n as_o good_a author_n do_v maintain_v be_v not_o assubiect_v to_o prince_n where_o they_o reside_v but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v exempt_a

that_o be_v a_o alien_n to_o that_o country_n yea_o and_o serve_v such_o a_o prince_n as_o make_v war_n against_o it_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o such_o a_o one_o will_v try_v to_o do_v all_o

they_o can_v not_o live_v in_o the_o low_a country_n without_o sin_n as_o be_v to_o converse_v with_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n for_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o

that_o ever_o make_v any_o step_n and_o pretention_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o in_o the_o year_n 1595_o he_o publish_v a_o constitution_n that_o no_o italian_a shall_v or_o ought_v to_o go_v for_o any_o cause_n whatsoever_o no_o not_o for_o traffic_v and_o merchandise_n to_o any_o place_n where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o parochial_a priest_n and_o a_o public_a church_n wherein_o the_o roman_a

the_o cause_n why_o the_o confessor_n and_o he_o who_o manage_v he_o do_v deal_v so_o rough_o with_o their_o penitent_n but_o withal_o you_o must_v know_v that_o this_o papal_a constitution_n be_v
