brag_n that_o this_o right_n remain_v only_o for_o he_o as_o be_v peter_n successor_n and_o so_o common_o his_o subject_n believe_v but_o this_o be_v a_o impudent_a lie_n fit_a for_o antichrist_n

he_o lose_v and_o judge_v worthy_a of_o heaven_n who_o god_n bind_v and_o shut_v out_o of_o heaven_n and_o contrary_o he_o exclude_v from_o heaven_n who_o god_n think_v worthy_a of_o heaven_n so_o

to_o guide_v the_o family_n of_o christ_n church_n that_o therefore_o now_o they_o be_v still_o unfit_a although_o they_o be_v restore_v to_o their_o wit_n and_o albeit_o that_o god_n have_v honour_v
