clerkship_n as_o have_v so_o many_o burden_n annex_v to_o it_o by_o the_o positive_a canon_n of_o the_o church_n only_o although_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v in_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o belong_v

minister_n of_o the_o church_n second_o because_o we_o know_v and_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a age_n of_o christianity_n when_o establish_v by_o law_n as_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o empire_n such_o have_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o clerkship_n who_o the_o emperor_n prohibit_v or_o by_o their_o law_n incapacitate_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v from_o that_o course_n of_o life_n for_o hence_o
