doctrine_n comprehend_v very_o brief_o in_o few_o word_n the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v teach_v amongst_o we_o whereby_o you_o may_v easy_o learn_v what_o have_v be_v amend_v in_o ecclesiastical_a doctrine_n now_o we_o will_v proceed_v to_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v either_o change_v or_o quite_o take_v away_o in_o ceremony_n but_o first_o we_o will_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o bishop_n of_o rome_n all_o man_n well_o nigh_o heretofore_o do_v believe_v as_o their_o rome_n creed_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v by_o god_n law_n head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o we_o after_o the_o judgement_n of_o s._n paul_n do_v affirm_v that_o christ_n alone_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o place_n out_o of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n and_o 18._o of_o the_o colossian_n be_v well_o know_v we_o deny_v not_o this_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n may_v by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o other_o bishop_n be_v appoint_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a rome_n superintendent_n or_o overseer_n of_o the_o church_n and_o a_o precedent_n of_o the_o christian_a common_a weal_n &_o that_o he_o may_v both_o be_v and_o also_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o censor_n of_o man_n manner_n &_o a_o master_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n if_o so_o be_v he_o will_v use_v his_o authority_n grant_v not_o to_o get_v any_o lordship_n or_o sovereignty_n over_o other_o but_o to_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o church_n not_o to_o bring_v in_o superstition_n but_o to_o establish_v true_a religion_n and_o if_o he_o will_v thorough_o do_v the_o duty_n belong_v to_o the_o function_n take_v in_o hand_n final_o if_o he_o will_v be_v bind_v to_o certain_a law_n of_o government_n neither_o will_v permit_v as_o he_o have_v do_v heretofore_o that_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o licence_n shall_v stand_v for_o a_o law_n our_o man_n very_o hitherto_o have_v make_v war_n pope_n only_o with_o the_o pope_n kingdom_n and_o with_o the_o romish_a ruledome_n and_o with_o that_o power_n which_o will_v advance_v itself_o both_o above_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o church_n and_o almost_o above_o god_n himself_o neither_o seem_v they_o to_o grant_n unto_o any_o mortal_a man_n whatsoever_o as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v help_v it_o to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n otherwise_o i_o know_v full_a well_o they_o will_v not_o refuse_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n if_o he_o will_v take_v pain_n to_o see_v that_o christian_a religion_n be_v instaur_v that_o superstition_n be_v take_v

the_o authority_n of_o make_v law_n concern_v the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o change_v of_o the_o sacrament_n concern_v ecclesiastical_a doctrine_n that_o he_o do_v think_v

backward_o into_o their_o former_a darkness_n of_o ignorance_n &_o error_n for_o certain_a man_n have_v now_o begin_v with_o no_o little_a care_n and_o cunning_a to_o set_v a_o fair_a glass_n upon_o
