church_n to_o be_v more_o divide_v &_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n true_o catholic_a then_o they_o be_v themselves_o divide_v from_o the_o whole_a world_n divisos_fw-la toto_fw-la orbe_fw-la

they_o will_v themselves_o willing_o confess_v and_o the_o thing_n be_v most_o evident_a most_o notorious_a now_o whereas_o the_o roman_a church_n with_o the_o other_o aforesaid_a be_v true_o &_o
