example_n of_o such_o like_a sophism_n whatsoever_o nation_n be_v the_o true_a kingdom_n of_o spain_n be_v proud_a and_o cruel_a against_o protestant_n but_o there_o be_v no_o protection_n there_o

whatsoever_o congregation_n of_o christian_n be_v now_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n do_v hold_v the_o canticle_n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o philemon_n to_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n and_o

who_o lesser_a corrupt_a part_n acknowledge_v the_o pope_n sovereignty_n i_o grant_v it_o for_o beside_o the_o whole_n contain_v all_o christian_n as_o the_o part_n there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o
