church_n of_o god_n what_o mean_v he_o by_o the_o church_n the_o priest_n or_o the_o people_n ta._n perhaps_o he_o mean_v they_o both_o aswell_o the_o people_n as_o the_o priest_n pa._n can_v you_o

for_o your_o better_a satisfaction_n and_o to_o give_v you_o true_a weeting_n of_o peter_n seat_n what_o it_o be_v you_o that_o be_v so_o full_a of_o scripture_n can_v be_v ignorant_a where_o christ_n in_o the_o 23._o of_o mathewe_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n do_v sit_v on_o moses_n chair_n &_o will_v they_o therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o place_n both_o

it_o be_v in_o any_o other_o place_n where_o he_o have_v former_o teach_v and_o preach_v you_o say_v protestant_n be_v blind_v but_o if_o papisteswere_v not_o both_o blind_a and_o out_o of_o their_o
