know_v ecclesiastical_a history_n and_o shall_v consider_v the_o great_a extent_n of_o jurisdiction_n that_o pope_n sylvester_n take_v to_o himself_o in_o that_o instrument_n ii_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o armenian_n be_v of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o monophysite_n who_o acknowledge_v but_o one_o nature_n in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o as_o we_o have_v already_o observe_v when_o we_o treat_v of_o the_o jacobite_n that_o be_v but_o a_o imaginary_a heresy_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o word_n and_o yet_o it_o occasion_n great_a dispute_n at_o this_o day_n among_o the_o

and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n galanus_n who_o mention_n some_o of_o their_o synod_n and_o the_o dispute_v they_o have_v have_v with_o the_o greek_n take_v no_o notice_n at_o all_o of_o that_o but_o only_o that_o they_o mingle_v no_o water_n with_o the_o wine_n in_o celebrate_v the_o liturgy_n and_o that_o they_o consecrate_v in_o unleavened_a bread_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o latin_n what_o the_o same_o brerewood_n affirm_v concern_v purgatory_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o what_o we_o have_v mention_v before_o of_o the_o greek_n and_o other_o oriental_n and_o it_o

it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o enlarge_v upon_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o armenian_n who_o be_v not_o latinize_v since_o there_o have_v be_v enough_o say_v of_o that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o

of_o the_o face_n once_o and_o the_o arm_n up_o to_o the_o elbow_n to_o wash_v the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o head_n and_o the_o foot_n once_o and_o the_o tradition_n of_o mahomet_n ordain_v the_o
