the_o three_o now_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o no_o lateran_n council_n can_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v any_o considerable_a authority_n in_o it_o especial_o not_o that_o which_o be_v

second_o this_o particular_a four_o lateran_n council_n be_v liable_a to_o more_o objection_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o some_o of_o they_o such_o as_o be_v so_o sharp_a and_o pungent_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o englishman_n that_o he_o can_v scarce_o hear_v they_o without_o disgust_n and_o hatred_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v that_o whatever_o credit_n and_o authority_n that_o council_n can_v give_v to_o transubstantiation_n abroad_o yet_o it_o can_v give_v little_a or_o none_o to_o it_o in_o england_n i._n no_o lateran_n council_n can_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v any_o considerable_a authority_n in_o it_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o these_o lateran_n council_n come_v too_o near_o to_o the_o indoctum_fw-la seculum_fw-la that_o be_v to_o
