if_o this_o authority_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n than_o it_o be_v not_o any_o other_o than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o king_n for_o without_o the_o head_n the_o church_n be_v mute_a the_o authority_n therefore_o be_v in_o the_o king_n which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o contend_v for_o in_o this_o point_n as_o to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gentile_n concern_v religion_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o the_o church_n i_o confess_v they_o be_v contrary_a to_o christian_n faith_n but_o none_o of_o their_o law_n nor_o terror_n
