of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v most_o preposterous_a and_o also_o in_o case_n no_o such_o head_n grow_v up_o for_o that_o either_o the_o body_n must_v remain_v without_o a_o head_n which_o will_v

the_o spiritual_a man_n to_o the_o throne_n before_o any_o and_o it_o be_v this_o the_o first_o adam_n upon_o his_o fall_n do_v forfeit_v all_o the_o domini_fw-la and_o title_n which_o the_o lord_n

whereas_o the_o donation_n of_o universal_a dominion_n have_v no_o such_o condition_n annex_v unto_o it_o four_o have_v adam_n apprehend_v that_o superiority_n and_o dominion_n shall_v upon_o his_o

that_o it_o shall_v not_o profit_v the_o jew_n for_o that_o they_o have_v abraham_n to_o their_o father_n he_o tell_v we_o also_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n by_o his_o prophet_n that_o a_o ungodly_a

no_o cause_n show_v why_o some_o bishop_n of_o rome_n must_v needs_o be_v he_o for_o first_o if_o holiness_n of_o life_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o successor_n so_o every_o christian_n may_v be_v peter_n successor_n as_o well_o as_o any_o bishop_n of_o rome_n second_o if_o beside_o holiness_n of_o life_n there_o must_v also_o concur_v soundness_n of_o doctrine_n yet_o so_o also_o any_o pastor_n may_v as_o well_o be_v his_o successor_n or_o if_o yet_o further_o such_o a_o quantity_n of_o charge_n as_o peter_n have_v be_v requisite_a unto_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o successor_n yet_o so_o also_o every_o ordinary_a diocesan_n be_v able_a to_o be_v his_o successor_n or_o if_o yet_o further_o the_o four_o fold_n qualification_n apostolical_a namely_o immediate_a call_n generality_n of_o commission_n infallibility_n of_o judgement_n and_o universality_n of_o language_n must_v concur_v to_o make_v such_o a_o successor_n yet_o as_o the_o first_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o where_o avouch_v to_o be_v thus_o qualify_v more_o than_o other_o if_o so_o much_o especial_o if_o they_o know_v no_o language_n but_o the_o latin_a and_o come_v to_o their_o place_n by_o

unto_o who_o such_o fourfold_a qualification_n be_v common_a wherein_o then_o shall_v consist_v the_o marrow_n and_o quiddity_n which_o make_v the_o roman_a bishop_n the_o peculiar_a successor_n of_o
