with_o all_o our_o power_n we_o humble_o and_o earnest_o beg_v of_o christian_a king_n and_o emperor_n that_o a_o free_a christian_n and_o lawful_a council_n may_v be_v conu●ked_v in_o which_o the_o

they_o provide_v for_o themselves_o will_v not_o permit_v any_o point_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o catholic_n bishop_n alone_o but_o every_o minister_n yea_o layman_n must_v have_v vote_n in_o they_o
