&_o crookedness_n be_v without_o number_n again_o there_o be_v many_o kind_n &_o degree_n of_o impure_a church_n notwithstanding_o we_o can_v say_v in_o one_o word_n that_o all_o those_o church_n be_v

of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o because_o that_o the_o whole_a gospel_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o faith_n and_o charity_n and_o whole_a christ_n nothing_o but_o head_n and_o body_n we_o may_v make_v

as_o there_o be_v no_o true_a faith_n nor_o charity_n nor_o christ_n so_o also_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o seek_v any_o salvation_n but_o in_o she_o and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v speak_v
