of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i._o in_o the_o first_o place_n when_o our_o adversary_n ground_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n upon_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n and_o will_v have_v the_o scripture_n receive_v and_o believe_v because_o the_o church_n do_v so_o ordain_v it_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o prefer_v tradition_n before_o scripture_n for_o they_o make_v scripture_n to_o depend_v upon_o tradition_n &_o esteem_v tradition_n of_o the_o church_n more_o worthy_a of_o belife_n then_o scripture_n and_o believe_v not_o the_o scripture_n but_o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v so_o command_v it_o ii_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o experience_n and_o we_o shall_v inform_v ourselves_o that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o people_n be_v a_o thousand_o
