catholic_a church_n have_v hold_v &_o which_o be_v not_o institute_v by_o counsel_n but_o ever_o keep_v in_o the_o church_n that_o be_v most_o right_o believe_v to_o be_v a_o apostolical_a tradition_n

upon_o the_o continue_a general_a tradition_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n of_o christ_n from_o age_n to_o age_n we_o reject_v and_o detest_v particular_a tradition_n of_o any_o present_a
