that_o he_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o excuse_v they_o the_o writing_n contain_v five_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o church_n will_v never_o find_v any_o repose_n in_o her_o

church_n to_o increase_v the_o number_n of_o extravagant_n there_o the_o four_o that_o the_o cardinal_n can_v not_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n suffer_v the_o dissipation_n of_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o prodigality_n of_o the_o nephew_n and_o that_o they_o be_v oblige_v therefore_o as_o his_o holiness_n assistant_n to_o endeavour_v to_o remedy_v it_o and_o in_o the_o

the_o chair_n will_v be_v the_o most_o convenient_a because_o if_o a_o new_a pope_n be_v once_o create_v and_o a_o new_a nepotism_n set_v up_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o compass_v their_o
