do_v not_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o doctor_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o can_v judge_v so_o well_o as_o himself_o than_o he_o may_v put_v away_o his_o queen_n and_o marry_v another_o and_o then_o the_o pope_n will_v confirm_v all_o for_o the_o crafty_a pope_n think_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o he_o to_o confirm_v it_o when_o it_o be_v once_o do_v than_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o do_v it_o and_o in_o short_a the_o pope_n make_v the_o king_n still_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o till_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o bring_v the_o emperor_n to_o grant_v he_o all_o he_o

of_o write_v in_o so_o trifle_v a_o manner_n as_o mr._n varillas_n represent_v the_o matter_n for_o what_o man_n of_o sense_n can_v say_v that_o the_o highpriest_n under_o the_o jewish_a religion_n

have_v marry_v the_o widow_n by_o the_o dispensation_n that_o the_o law_n give_v and_o not_o by_o a_o dispensation_n of_o the_o highpriest_n and_o for_o the_o end_n that_o he_o pretend_v of_o those_o
