for_o indeed_o conceive_v if_o you_o can_v how_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v ordain_v by_o subscription_n a_o man_n may_v subscribe_v his_o consent_n to_o a_o election_n and_o give_v his_o voice_n which_o

which_o may_v have_v the_o authority_n to_o persuade_v any_o reasonable_a man_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o canon_n to_o enforce_v three_o bishop_n to_o the_o

the_o pope_n may_v dispense_v with_o it_o and_o allow_v two_o or_o one_o to_o do_v it_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o austin_n the_o monk_n when_o he_o come_v into_o england_n but_o afterward_o the_o
