moreover_o the_o religion_n which_o you_o call_v papistry_n be_v now_o spread_v over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o almost_o all_o nation_n and_o be_v confess_o the_o general_a religion_n of_o

they_o have_v not_o be_v continual_o in_o our_o communion_n all_o this_o time_n yet_o in_o this_o time_n they_o have_v be_v in_o our_o communion_n and_o so_o have_v the_o armenian_n and_o other_o too_o which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v and_o sufficient_a for_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o our_o communion_n have_v be_v catholic_a in_o the_o time_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o if_o you_o will_v plead_v for_o they_o that_o also_o their_o schism_n have_v be_v sometime_o thus_o catholic_a i_o answer_v as_o before_o that_o grecisme_n be_v never_o general_o the_o faith_n of_o christendom_n nor_o any_o other_o faith_n whatsoever_o but_o that_o only_a which_o we_o profess_v not_o the_o grecian_a i_o say_v not_o the_o aethiopian_a not_o the_o armenian_a not_o the_o berengarian_a the_o

that_o mahomet_n have_v seduce_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o restrain_v the_o latitude_n which_o we_o pretend_v whereunto_o i_o answer_v first_o notwithstanding_o mahomete_n and_o his_o company_n that_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o christian_n world_n have_v be_v with_o we_o and_o with_o no_o other_o which_o be_v all_o i_o desire_v i_o answer_v second_o that_o our_o community_n have_v gain_v more_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n than_o ever_o the_o pagan_a take_v away_o by_o a_o infinite_a increase_n both_o in_o this_o old_a and_o also_o in_o the_o new_a world_n witness_v all_o

may_v find_v it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v find_v it_o we_o will_v inquire_v then_o whether_o it_o have_v err_v or_o no._n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n be_v evident_a because_o no_o other_o be_v or_o have_v be_v in_o the_o general_a communion_n of_o nation_n but_o only_o this_o nor_o ever_o any_o for_o the_o latitude_n of_o communion_n equal_a to_o it_o 16._o i_o go_v now_o
