i_o proceed_v yet_o a_o little_a far_o and_o consider_v that_o we_o protestant_n can_v not_o possible_o assign_v so_o much_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o any_o one_o man_n our_o henrician_n and_o

please_v i_o in_o deny_v purgatory_n yet_o he_o do_v displease_v i_o also_o by_o some_o odious_a and_o hateful_a opinion_n wherewith_o he_o be_v infect_v and_o then_o i_o can_v not_o find_v out_o

the_o essence_n and_o existency_n of_o our_o church_n 8._o the_o conclusion_n which_o yield_v itself_o unto_o i_o out_o of_o the_o former_a consideration_n be_v this_o whereas_o there_o have_v be_v no_o visible_a church_n nor_o member_n thereof_o for_o many_o hundred_o year_n which_o be_v not_o heretical_a in_o a_o high_a degree_n as_o our_o doctrine_n do_v clear_o import_v it_o follow_v
