to_o want_v any_o proof_n or_o further_a amplification_n it_o appear_v therefore_o out_o of_o the_o premise_n that_o the_o britannic_a church_n constitute_v in_o this_o as_o i_o may_v say_v her_o passive_a state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v whole_o free_a from_o all_o blemish_n of_o schism_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o all_o bishop_n of_o

all_o these_o add_v what_o in_o conclusion_n be_v principal_o necessary_a to_o wit_n that_o the_o britannic_a church_n after_o the_o very_a sacred_a canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n such_o as_o be_v
