matter_n stand_v in_o this_o point_n with_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n 9_o we_o roman_a catholic_o i_o do_v willing_o acknowledge_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o public_a service_n

they_o change_v the_o language_n of_o god_n public_a service_n entire_o the_o greek_n now_o use_v the_o ancient_a mass_n of_o st._n chrysostom_n write_v in_o pure_a greek_a as_o much_o differ_v from_o

because_o though_o the_o latin_a be_v not_o now_o in_o any_o place_n a_o vulgar_a language_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o language_n so_o universal_o understand_v in_o europe_n as_o that_o and_o a_o
