do_v not_o the_o cathedral_n and_o collegiate_n church_n do_v not_o million_o of_o the_o people_n public_o own_o and_o profess_v it_o under_o the_o hatch_n than_o it_o be_v not_o at_o least_o not_o

the_o crime_n general_o charge_v upon_o the_o church_n be_v incompetible_a to_o she_o as_o he_o have_v prove_v in_o his_o vindication_n of_o she_o for_o herein_o he_o must_v suppose_v our_o church_n

the_o sport_n still_o be_v that_o he_o refer_v we_o not_o to_o his_o mystery_n which_o be_v the_o sole_a subject_n of_o our_o controversy_n but_o to_o his_o vindication_n publish_v divers_a year_n

the_o division_n of_o the_o church_n of_o which_o he_o discourse_v second_o to_o make_v all_o clear_a yet_o by_o his_o subsequent_a word_n in_o the_o 8_o section_n of_o that_o 17_o chapter_n we_o
