of_o a_o proof_n that_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n he_o refer_v we_o to_o a_o testy_a say_n of_o scaliger_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o the_o

he_o think_v he_o have_v give_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n a_o terrible_a blow_n the_o first_o be_v that_o to_o give_v a_o inferior_a sort_n of_o cult_a or_o respect_n to_o the_o element_n be_v to_o

that_o for_o a_o priest_n to_o operate_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o church-of_a england_n minister_n pretend_v to_o do_v after_o their_o fashion_n be_v

presence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o also_o to_o occasion_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o vindicator_n of_o luther_n in_o the_o divinity_n or_o logic_n school_n will_v make_v he_o a_o vindicator_n of_o luther_n which_o be_v utter_o impossible_a 5._o to_o luther_n reject_v council_n the_o vindicator_n write_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v 1._o that_o he_o
