of_o our_o present_a discourse_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a of_o these_o question_n and_o which_o ought_v to_o serve_v as_o a_o foundation_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v that_o which_o concern_v the_o authority_n of_o council_n which_o have_v ever_o be_v most_o venerable_a among_o christian_n and_o which_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n and_o above_o the_o
