according_a to_o her_o principle_n i_o must_v not_o believe_v in_o god_n but_o only_o upon_o the_o faith_n and_o credit_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n that_o be_v she_o treat_v the_o true_a god_n as_o

for_o she_o will_v be_v believe_v upon_o her_o word_n but_o allow_v not_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v believe_v upon_o he_o so_o that_o instead_o of_o those_o word_n which_o so_o emphatical_o preface_n many_o passage_n in_o the_o prophet_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n we_o must_v put_v thus_o say_v the_o church_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n believe_v in_o
