of_o alexander_n the_o friend_n of_o this_o azzolini_n do_v cry_v he_o up_o for_o a_o person_n of_o very_a great_a judgement_n and_o experience_n in_o politic_a affair_n but_o those_o that_o have_v

the_o pope_n of_o our_o day_n to_o go_v no_o further_o have_v in_o their_o creation_n of_o cardinal_n have_v more_o regard_n to_o the_o number_n than_o the_o qualification_n of_o they_o although_o
