deny_v of_o the_o read_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o people_n and_o other_o and_o will_v you_o yet_o brag_v of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o your_o religion_n 3._o these_o doctrine_n wherein_o we_o

it_o do_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o your_o church_n be_v new_a also_o for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n nay_o even_o your_o own_o church_n of_o
