learned_a person_n of_o the_o latin_a communion_n now_o agree_v in_o that_o doctrine_n if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o her_o first_o reform_v ritual_n give_v as_o clear_v a_o assignation_n

about_o or_o intend_v not_o to_o do_v what_o the_o church_n intend_v the_o ordain_v remain_v still_o without_o either_o character_n or_o power_n by_o which_o mean_v if_o one_o bishop_n have_v but_o
