the_o church_n do_v trouble_v the_o empire_n of_o germany_n 1._o the_o anabaptist_n than_o be_v divide_v in_o many_o sect_n of_o who_o some_o maintain_v more_o error_n and_o some_o less_o but_o all_o of_o they_o do_v profess_v such_o doctrine_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v suffer_v and_o tolerate_v neither_o in_o the_o church_n nor_o in_o the_o state_n nor_o in_o the_o family_n 1._o these_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n which_o can_v not_o be_v tolerate_v in_o the_o church_n 1._o that_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v his_o flesh_n &_o blood_n from_o the_o virgin_n mary_n but_o bring_v they_o down_o from_o heaven_n 2._o that_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o true_a god_n but_o only_o that_o he_o be_v above_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o he_o do_v receive_v

and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o innocency_n have_v not_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n they_o be_v save_v without_o baptism_n of_o which_o baptism_n according_a to_o their_o opinion_n they_o have_v no_o
