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

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
