the_o empire_n thus_o divide_v into_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a the_o freedom_n of_o philosophy_n be_v to_o the_o power_n spiritual_n very_o dangerous_a and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o behove_v the_o pope_n to_o get_v school_n set_v up_o not_o only_o for_o divinity_n but_o also_o for_o other_o science_n especial_o for_o natural_a philosophy_n which_o when_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o
