trent_n itself_o call_v of_o purpose_n to_o end_v controversy_n so_o set_v down_o the_o knot_n of_o this_o controversy_n that_o your_o own_o romist_n be_v agree_v of_o it_o among_o themselves_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o main_a body_n of_o the_o papacy_n dote_v upon_o freewill_n according_a to_o their_o leader_n who_o as_o this_o author_n well_o affirm_v have_v many_o profitable_a doctrine_n

the_o point_n upon_o which_o so_o many_o other_o catholic_n doctrine_n depend_v i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o these_o word_n of_o the_o cavalier_n that_o upon_o the_o
