that_o then_o be_v pope_n and_o choose_v a_o other_o in_o his_o place_n and_o the_o same_o eugenius_n bold_v a_o council_n at_o farrary_a beléeve_v that_o he_o have_v authority_n to_o excommucate_v

of_o consecration_n i_o think_v your_o church_n be_v not_o yet_o agree_v whether_o the_o virtue_n ●hat_n turn_v the_o substance_n do_v lie_n in_o the_o verb_n est_fw-fr or_o in_o the_o syllable_n um_o

still_o be_v sore_o shake_v but_o i_o perceyve_v that_o which_o follow_v in_o this_o conclusion_n of_o this_o offer_n that_o the_o faith_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o be_v that_o faith_n or_o belief_n that_o you_o have_v in_o that_o church_n of_o you_o which_o you_o call_v catholic_a you_o never_o trouble_v yourself_o with_o the_o weight_a and_o examine_v of_o matter_n of_o belief_n for_o you_o

command_v you_o to_o believe_v although_o you_o know_v not_o what_o that_o church_n either_o have_v or_o shall_v determine_v thus_o your_o late_a prosilite_n friar_n john_n francis_n of_o nigeon_n in_o france_n do_v in_o his_o letter_n that_o he_o write_v to_o his_o mother_n instruct_v she_o to_o believe_v but_o here_o rise_v a_o doubt_n whether_o this_o church_n be_v the_o general_a council_n the_o college_n of_o cardinal_n or_o the_o pope_n holiness_n alone_o if_o it_o be_v the_o general_a council_n what_o shift_n will_v you_o have_v make_v when_o two_o general_a council_n be_v hold_v
