which_o may_v manifest_o appear_v unto_o you_o see_v a_o man_n bring_v nobility_n from_o his_o mother_n womb_n but_o so_o can_v he_o not_o bring_v with_o he_o either_o the_o empire_n or_o popedom_n each_o of_o these_o degree_n be_v dispose_v by_o election_n and_o not_o by_o succession_n but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bear_v a_o marquis_n a_o duke_n or_o a_o king_n speak_v of_o such_o principality_n and_o kingdom_n as_o come_v by_o succession_n and_o though_o emperor_n go_v before_o king_n and_o the_o pope_n not_o only_o before_o king_n but_o also_o before_o the_o emperor_n himself_o of_o this_o nobility_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o their_o dignity_n the_o which_o note_v in_o those_o subject_n so_o great_a excellency_n of_o virtue_n as_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o supereminencie_n how_o can_v it_o be_v reply_v gualinguo_fw-la but_o if_o the_o emperor_n and_o pope_n have_v prerogative_n to_o distribute_v the_o great_a title_n of_o nobility_n consider_v they_o may_v make_v county_n marquess_n duke_n and_o king_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v noble_a yea_o and_o most_o noble_a themselves_n and_o varano_n i_o prove_v unto_o you_o by_o lively_a reason_n that_o no_o prince_n how_o mighty_a soever_o can_v give_v nobility_n although_o he_o may_v adorn_v and_o amplify_v it_o with_o title_n enfeosment_n and_o honour_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n not_o so_o much_o of_o nobility_n as_o virtue_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v grant_v you_o that_o the_o emperor_n or_o pope_n may_v make_v a_o other_o man_n noble_a yet_o can_v you_o not_o conclude_v for_o this_o that_o they_o

somewhat_o further_o whether_o in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o order_n of_o nobility_n there_o be_v degree_n of_o more_o and_o less_o or_o if_o all_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o self_n same_o degree_n and_o order_n be_v equal_o noble_a so_o that_o among_o they_o no_o precedence_n occur_v in_o that_o those_o noble_a of_o the_o selfsame_o order_n answer_v varano_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o can_v set_v all_o upon_o one_o seat_n nor_o be_v comprehend_v in_o one_o place_n &_o circuit_n be_v necessary_a that_o one_o must_v needs_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n another_z on_o
