this_o may_v be_v confirm_v two_o way_n first_o because_o after_o the_o first_o 300._o year_n flourish_v pope_n gregory_n to_o who_o as_o to_o their_o head_n the_o whole_a christian_a world_n be_v

thou_o see_v good_a reader_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o caluinist_n church_n teach_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o primitive_a church_n another_o thing_n in_o matter_n of_o say_v caluin_n himself_o
