respect_n which_o heresy_n have_v to_o the_o church_n be_v only_o from_o the_o respect_n which_o the_o church_n have_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o to_o find_v out_o what_o heresy_n be_v we_o must_v

she_o can_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n because_o she_o be_v the_o first_o church_n and_o none_o be_v prior_n to_o she_o and_o we_o also_o shall_v be_v quit_v of_o that_o blame_n if_o we_o

to_o the_o definition_n of_o our_o author_n it_o must_v be_v a_o former_a church_n which_o the_o departure_n must_v be_v from_o to_o make_v it_o schism_n we_o may_v indeed_o say_v that_o schism_n be_v when_o the_o band_n or_o communion_n hold_v with_o any_o church_n be_v without_o just_a reason_n break_a and_o dissolve_v because_o all_o christian_a church_n ought_v to_o maintain_v communion_n
