you_o poor_a heretic_n say_v he_o how_o can_v you_o be_v of_o a_o true_a belief_n if_o you_o do_v not_o first_o accept_v the_o twelve_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o how_o shall_v you_o accept_v

of_o the_o decretal_n and_o out_o of_o this_o we_o have_v to_o note_v two_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a church_n have_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o she_o can_v not_o only_o change_v the_o bread_n into_o flesh_n but_o be_v able_a to_o make_v of_o a_o stone_n a_o head_n &_o as_o well_o transubstantiate_a the_o word_n as_o the_o bread_n the_o second_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o good_a similitude_n or_o parable_n upon_o the_o nearness_n of_o name_n in_o speech_n which_o in_o pronunciation_n do_v sound_v one_o like_o another_o as_o the_o

fall_v out_o so_o for_o than_o may_v the_o heretic_n conclude_v out_o of_o the_o same_o that_o curate_n be_v cur_n the_o spiritualty_n spite_n faulty_a bishop_n very_a bitesheepe_n cardinal_n
