it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o philosophy_n that_o formadat_fw-la nomen_fw-la &_o esse_fw-la the_o form_n of_o every_o thing_n give_v it_o name_n and_o nature_n nay_o rather_o it_o be_v the_o very_a

that_o the_o form_n which_o give_v both_o alike_o continue_v still_o the_o same_o look_v the_o statute_n and_o you_o shall_v ever_o find_v they_o call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n which_o they_o have_v

to_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o monastery_n be_v all_o dissolve_a and_o lay_v waist_n and_o the_o impropriation_n sell_v away_o into_o layman_n hand_n yet_o be_v the_o tithe_n unto_o they_o like_o

of_o 32._o hen._n 8._o lay_v man_n be_v enable_v to_o sue_v for_o tithe_n in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court._n by_o which_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o these_o tithe_n retain_v still_o the_o nature_n
