have_v obtain_v it_o what_o be_v more_o easy_a than_o to_o find_v a_o priest_n who_o may_v absolve_v we_o have_v we_o not_o great_a cause_n to_o be_v astonish_v and_o to_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n how_o have_v you_o be_v so_o liberal_a as_o to_o give_v this_o power_n to_o your_o church_n and_o to_o so_o many_o priest_n if_o you_o have_v give_v it_o but_o to_o the_o pope_n or_o to_o patriarch_n or_o
