the_o chair_n be_v vacant_a to_o promote_v their_o own_o advantage_n and_o endeavour_v to_o introduce_v a_o custom_n of_o choose_v a_o pope_n after_o their_o own_o mode_n and_o to_o their_o own_o fancy_n mar._n i_o have_v now_o understand_v many_o particular_n in_o this_o business_n which_o tend_v to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o stir_v up_o a_o desire_n in_o i_o of_o know_v every_o the_o small_a punctilio_fw-la so_o that_o you_o by_o acquaint_v i_o with_o what_o you_o know_v and_o i_o you_o with_o what_o i_o apprehend_v we_o shall_v mutual_o satisfy_v one_o another_o by_o our_o argue_v for_o the_o future_a upon_o those_o matter_n which_o deserve_v most_o to_o be_v publish_v as_o we_o think_v convenient_a pasq_fw-la the_o subject_n in_o truth_n be_v very_o proper_a to_o raise_v a_o argument_n it_o be_v a_o novelty_n and_o never_o heretofore_o hear_v of_o that_o the_o whore_n do_v pretend_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o election_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o that_o which_o increase_v the_o wonder_n be_v that_o their_o pretence_n be_v not_o so_o vain_a and_o airy_a as_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v for_o they_o appear_v to_o i_o as_o ground_v upon_o the_o solid_a

rather_o ridiculous_a then_o substantial_a and_o indeed_o to_o speak_v rational_o what_o a_o devil_n have_v the_o courtesan_n to_o do_v with_o the_o election_n of_o the_o pope_n pas_n and_o to_o answer_v you_o in_o reason_n what_o a_o devil_n have_v the_o pope_n to_o do_v to_o draw_v so_o much_o money_n from_o the_o whore_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o his_o nephew_n pride_n to_o oblige_v the_o whore_n to_o give_v great_a store_n of_o contribution-money_n to_o force_v they_o to_o pay_v so_o many_o gabel_n and_o tax_n this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o permission_n for_o they_o to_o sin_n after_o their_o own_o mode_n to_o sell_v their_o own_o flesh_n at_o cheap_a rate_n then_o that_o which_o be_v vend_v at_o the_o shambles_n and_o to_o leave_v no_o stone_n unturned_a to_o make_v even_o those_o great_a ravenous_a bird_n of_o prey_n the_o friar_n to_o be_v take_v by_o the_o lime-twig_n and_o when_o they_o be_v once_o catch_v they_o leave_v all_o their_o feather_n behind_o they_o and_o some_o of_o they_o break_v their_o neck_n by_o struggle_v to_o get_v their_o liberty_n now_o this_o theologian_n will_v say_v that_o be_v no_o less_o sin_n to_o grant_v the_o whore_n the_o power_n of_o choose_v the_o pope_n than_o the_o pope_n liberty_n to_o oblige_v the_o whore_n to_o play_v the_o whore_n to_o pay_v off_o those_o tax_n which_o the_o nephew_n impose_v upon_o their_o way_n of_o livelihood_n the_o reason_n which_o move_v the_o whore_n to_o such_o pretence_n be_v many_o first_o the_o courtesan_n say_v why_o shall_v not_o we_o choose_v that_o pope_n that_o must_v be_v maintain_v by_o we_o why_o shall_v not_o we_o pay_v money_n to_o one_o that_o be_v elect_v to_o please_v another_o humour_n why_o shall_v other_o set_v up_o a_o pope_n and_o we_o empty_v our_o own_o purse_n to_o fill_v his_o coffer_n we_o do_v not_o refuse_v the_o payment_n of_o those_o contribution_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o but_o very_o well_o may_v we_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v our_o pope_n who_o be_v not_o we_o mar._n if_o they_o be_v furnish_v with_o no_o better_a reason_n then_o these_o they_o will_v never_o bring_v their_o pretend_a desi●…_n of_o have_v power_n to_o elect_v a_o pope_n to_o a_o period_n pas_n these_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n inconsiderable_a they_o have_v a_o far_o great_a number_n but_o the_o business_n be_v this_o in_o rome_n it_o be_v not_o reason_n but_o the_o interest_n of_o those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o powerful_a that_o prevail_v in_o the_o pope_n election_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o whore_n shall_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o conclave_n and_o have_v a_o free_a vote_n as_o well_o as_o the_o cardinal_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o pope_n they_o will_v do_v no_o good_a because_o the_o ingle_n who_o be_v more_o esteem_v will_v procure_v all_o the_o vote_n in_o favour_n of_o they_o and_o so_o will_v set_v up_o a_o pope_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fancy_n in_o despite_n of_o all_o the_o whore_n not_o in_o rome_n only_o but_o the_o whole_a world_n mar._n do_v you_o know_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o sodomy_n make_v not_o such_o a_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n as_o that_o of_o wench_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o most_o conselentious_a prelate_n and_o those_o cardinal_n that_o be_v the_o near_a pretender_n to_o the_o papacy_n turn_v away_o their_o face_n when_o they_o spy_v a_o pretty_a little_a poor_a whore_n go_v to_o mass_n or_o a_o most_o excellent_a courtesan_n to_o ride_v for_o her_o recreation_n in_o some_o ambassador_n coach_n as_o if_o they_o see_v the_o devil_n with_o his_o horn_n cross_v themselves_o often_o time_n with_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o yet_o afterward_o take_v a_o pride_n in_o spend_v whole_a day_n and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o night_n in_o their_o chamber_n with_o some_o little_a sodomitical_a boy_n or_o filthy_a ingle_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o whore_n of_o rome_n do_v but_o once_o touch_v the_o pontificial_a glove_n of_o any_o prelate_n they_o grow_v so_o proud_a that_o the_o roman_a lord_n can_v scarce_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o touch_v their_o toe_n and_o so_o much_o the_o worse_o if_o it_o be_v a_o cardinal_n then_o they_o go_v about_o to_o every_o bawdy-house_n proud_o mount_v on_o their_o chioapin_n boast_v that_o they_o serve_v as_o a_o mare_n to_o his_o most_o illustrious_a lordship_n and_o as_o a_o hackney_n to_o his_o eminency_n for_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o whore_n to_o discover_v all_o she_o do_v and_o the_o boy_n be_v to_o keep_v secret_a whatever_o be_v do_v to_o he_o therefore_o the_o prelate_n and_o cardinal_n to_o preserve_v the_o reputation_n of_o the_o purple_a and_o episcopal_a robe_n think_v it_o well_o do_v to_o slight_v the_o lady_n that_o they_o may_v avoid_v all_o occasion_n of_o scandal_n to_o christian_n and_o spend_v their_o time_n with_o sodomitical_a boy_n be_v with_o who_o friendship_n be_v a_o

another_o course_n whilst_o they_o that_o diet_n themselves_o with_o the_o ordinary_a food_n of_o the_o bullcalf_n do_v not_o altogether_o refrain_v from_o take_v some_o small_a morsel_n of_o the_o
