show_v before_o not_o only_o chief_a dignity_n upon_o earth_n but_o also_o great_a in_o heaven_n purgatory_n and_o hell_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o franciscane_a no_o doubt_n according_a to_o

not_o abide_v that_o for_o the_o high_a dignity_n of_o their_o name_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o bartolus_n be_v wont_v in_o hard_a question_n to_o admonish_v his_o hearer_n to_o bethink_v themselves_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n without_o any_o prejudice_n of_o the_o truth_n will_v leave_v to_o this_o pope_n that_o same_o place_n which_o gregory_n the_o great_a give_v he_o which_o what_o manner_n one_o it_o be_v we_o shall_v set_v down_o short_o after_o where_o we_o shall_v make_v mention_n of_o lucifer_n come_v to_o hell_n of_o the_o crime_n of_o corrupt_a religion_n

of_o corrupt_a religion_n for_o when_o as_o the_o pope_n take_v upon_o he_o that_o chief_a lordship_n over_o christian_a religion_n he_o then_o determine_v as_o it_o be_v by_o his_o own_o right_a to_o
