there_o be_v two_o thing_n of_o great_a weight_n against_o they_o first_o that_o the_o ancient_a bishop_n of_o rome_n claim_v no_o special_a authority_n peculiar_a to_o themselves_o but_o by_o other_o and_o inferior_a title_n and_o what_o be_v much_o less_o than_o they_o now_o claim_v second_o that_o there_o be_v very_o gross_a imposture_n and_o forgery_n use_v for_o the_o introduce_v and_o

this_o may_v easy_o be_v perceive_v by_o compare_v the_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n with_o the_o opposite_a corruption_n of_o popery_n and_o the_o tendency_n of_o each_o as_o
