of_o lay_v man_n but_o far_o worse_a for_o we_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o antichristianitie_n heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o we_o receive_v none_o of_o they_o to_o

therefore_o upon_o this_o presumption_n that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o admit_v our_o minister_a of_o sacrament_n but_o also_o the_o lawful_a order_n of_o the_o minister_n for_o the_o same_o if_o
