a_o lease_n etc._n etc._n which_o in_o itself_o have_v be_v simony_n then_o upon_o such_o a_o plea_n peradventure_o it_o may_v have_v appear_v to_o have_v be_v simony_n and_o then_o it_o may_v have_v be_v a_o question_n whether_o the_o bond_n have_v be_v good_a or_o no_o but_o upon_o this_o demur_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v there_o be_v any_o simoniacal_a contract_n and_o such_o a_o bond_n may_v be_v make_v upon_o a_o good_a and_o lawful_a design_n as_o the_o preferment_n of_o a_o son_n as_o in_o jone_n and_o laurence_n case_n before_o to_o avoid_v nonresidence_n plurality_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o it_o appear_v by_o both_o these_o case_n that_o bond_n take_v upon_o prudent_a and_o just_a end_n to_o resign_v be_v non-simoniacal_a but_o where_o such_o bond_n be_v take_v upon_o

what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o a_o bond_n express_o to_o pay_v money_n and_o a_o bond_n to_o resign_v which_o be_v to_o pay_v money_n if_o the_o patron_n say_v either_o pay_v i_o so_o
