how_o ever_o the_o end_n meet_v perchance_o there_o be_v some_o great_a cause_n that_o move_v or_o provoke_v the_o two_o house_n to_o this_o sell_v yes_o and_o the_o cause_n be_v express_v for_o this_o late_a war_n be_v promote_v by_o the_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n and_o in_o favour_n of_o they_o or_o their_o adherent_n and_o dependent_n i_o confess_v it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o

this_o you_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o yet_o why_o not_o some_o other_o way_n to_o be_v find_v which_o lawful_o may_v be_v take_v rather_o than_o run_v this_o course_n which_o as_o prove_v be_v against_o god_n and_o man_n law_n i_o remember_v paris_n mat._n paris_n it_o be_v story_v that_o the_o pope_n require_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n from_o the_o clergy_n at_o which_o they_o repine_v the_o pope_n answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o it_o yet_o upon_o examination_n in_o a_o council_n in_o france_n it_o be_v discover_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v make_v or_o bring_v on_o the_o necessity_n and_o partly_o to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v fleece_v the_o clergy_n which_o that_o just_a council_n well_o weigh_v put_v the_o holy_a pope_n beside_o his_o plot_n and_o make_v he_o find_v some_o other_o tricksom_a way_n to_o salve_v his_o necessity_n to_o answer_v therefore_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o just_a real_a debt_n just_o it_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v

by_o find_v the_o true_a proper_a cause_n of_o this_o mischief_n and_o necessity_n or_o by_o levy_v the_o money_n by_o some_o general_a tax_n on_o the_o whole_a land_n who_o so_o much_o groan_n under_o the_o present_a calamity_n and_o oppression_n that_o i_o persuade_v myself_o they_o will_v rather_o pay_v that_o debt_n then_o long_o bear_v this_o burden_n but_o suppose_v you_o can_v or_o will_v not_o find_v out_o any_o course_n whereby_o to_o discharge_v the_o public_a debt_n but_o this_o then_o confider_v how_o just_a and_o agreeable_a to_o god_n word_n this_o course_n be_v and_o unless_o you_o can_v show_v by_o god_n law_n that_o you_o may_v sell_v these_o land_n then_o i_o dare_v affirm_v that_o be_v the_o necessity_n never_o so_o real_a never_o so_o great_a you_o may_v not_o sell_v they_o to_o any_o end_n in_o which_o case_n saint_n paul_n be_v bold_a and_o peremptory_a when_o he_o say_v some_o affirm_v 3.8_o rom._n 3.8_o that_o we_o say_v let_v we_o do_v evil_a
