if_o you_o admit_v of_o his_o argument_n you_o must_v admit_v all_o regulars_n even_o lie_v brother_n so_o they_o be_v perfect_a to_o be_v in_o the_o hierarchy_n of_o the_o church_n as_o high_a in_o rank_n as_o bishop_n for_o bishop_n be_v the_o chief_a order_n but_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o his_o argument_n be_v good_a it_o will_v conclude_v against_o s._n denys_n who_o as_o we_o have_v

saint_n have_v merit_v as_o great_a glory_n as_o angel_n other_o as_o archangel_n other_o as_o cherubin_n or_o seraphin_n have_v therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v assume_v to_o the_o order_n of_o angel_n archangel_n or_o other_o order_n and_o because_o it_o be_v not_o grace_n but_o the_o order_n state_n and_o office_n of_o purge_v illuminate_a and_o perfect_a which_o make_v one_o of_o the_o hierarchy_n a_o christian_a in_o this_o life_n may_v merit_v as_o great_a glory_n and_o attain_v at_o length_n unto_o as_o great_a glory_n as_o cherubin_n and_o seraphin_n have_v though_o he_o be_v not_o of_o any_o order_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a hierarchy_n and_o so_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v as_o m._n nicholas_n think_v that_o because_o man_n by_o grace_n and_o merit_n do_v attain_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o order_n of_o angel_n that_o therefore_o in_o this_o life_n they_o be_v of_o any_o order_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a hierarchy_n for_o that_o s._n benedict_n and_o s._n francis_n may_v by_o the_o great_a charity_n and_o grace_n they_o have_v here_o be_v assumpt_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o seraphin_n and_o yet_o here_o they_o be_v not_o priest_n and_o a_o lie_v

the_o kingdom_n that_o it_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v a_o hierarchy_n but_o do_v bear_v no_o office_n in_o it_o may_v be_v assumpt_v in_o glory_n to_o high_a order_n than_o many_o be_v who_o here_o be_v bishop_n patriarch_n yea_o pope_n otherwise_o according_a to_o m._n nicholas_n his_o doctrine_n because_o s._n francis_n in_o this_o life_n be_v in_o a_o state_n powerful_a for_o attain_v of_o grace_n and_o perfection_n here_o by_o which_o be_v merit_v great_a glory_n than_o a_o pope_n do_v and_o for_o which_o peradventure_o he_o be_v assumpt_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o seraphin_n he_o must_v in_o this_o life_n have_v have_v a_o high_a rank_n in_o the_o hierarchy_n than_o the_o pope_n have_v but_o as_o i_o have_v ●ould_n m._n nicholas_n it_o be_v not_o

to_o the_o state_n of_o regulars_n as_o he_o curry_v favour_n with_o the_o cardinal_n so_o he_o wrong_v m._n doctor_n in_o that_o he_o insinuate_v that_o he_o exclude_v they_o from_o the_o hierarchy_n whereas_o he_o in_o his_o ten_o chapter_n of_o his_o hierarchy_n have_v a_o great_a and_o long_a commendation_n of_o they_o their_o office_n and_o dignity_n and_o in_o his_o eight_o chapter_n move_v
