anger_n and_o malice_n and_o indignation_n for_o dispute_n alas_o continue_v not_o because_o truth_n be_v not_o visible_a but_o because_o man_n will_v not_o submit_v their_o sense_n to_o grace_n but_o

eye_n as_o good_a as_o they_o be_v do_v not_o see_v the_o scripture_n but_o by_o the_o catholic_a that_o be_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n for_o that_o the_o answerer_n know_v be_v the_o

scripture_n be_v in_o print_n in_o question_n which_o by_o make_v nothing_o visible_a which_o can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n make_v it_o not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n for_o

in_o print_n be_v scripture_n be_v manifest_o to_o question_v whether_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n and_o so_o in_o one_o breath_n he_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o next_o it_o be_v not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n but_o we_o will_v not_o fall_v out_o about_o matter_n which_o import_v not_o but_o go_v he_o on_o what_o if_o the_o church_n who_o authority_n it_o be_v say_v

of_o christian_n which_o may_v still_o continue_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o instance_n the_o holy_a bishop_n and_o martyr_n who_o he_o say_v be_v excommunicate_v heretofore_o in_o

to_o talk_v of_o one_o church_n while_o his_o majesty_n talk_v of_o another_o upon_o the_o second_o head_n he_o ask_v if_o those_o who_o make_v the_o creed_n for_o our_o direction_n have_v intend_v
