this_o testimony_n be_v full_a enough_o to_o evince_v that_o neither_o st._n augustine_n nor_o the_o age_n wherein_o he_o live_v acknowledge_v the_o roman_a church_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o

all_o controversy_n and_o why_o may_v not_o heresy_n still_o be_v suppress_v that_o way_n now_o for_o the_o general_n council_n which_o this_o author_n name_v too_o as_o favourer_n of_o this_o

whereby_o the_o thing_n in_o contestation_n may_v be_v find_v out_o and_o so_o say_v he_o cap._n 28._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n by_o the_o very_a same_o

pray_v if_o that_o mark_v agree_v upon_o on_o both_o side_n be_v of_o force_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n be_v it_o of_o none_o to_o prove_v the_o church_n
