yet_o it_o do_v not_o absolute_o follow_v that_o she_o must_v have_v always_o remain_v without_o interruption_n unto_o this_o day_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o true_a church_n be_v

for_o she_o concern_v which_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v more_o full_o short_o 3._o but_o a.s._n say_v that_o no_o other_o church_n on_o earth_n have_v remain_v unto_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n beside_o the_o roman_a pontificial_a and_o therefore_o she_o be_v the_o true_a church_n i_o answer_v no_o she_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o
