first_o author_n of_o this_o error_n who_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n die_v together_o with_o the_o body_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v both_o of_o they_o rise_v again_o at_o the_o judgement_n day_n

his_o church_n now_o then_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n his_o holy_a spirit_n i_o intend_v to_o dispute_v hereof_o without_o bitterness_n of_o mind_n without_o tie_v myself_o to_o any_o man_n particular_o and_o also_o without_o desire_n to_o scoff_n and_o slander_n so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a in_o truth_n to_o complain_v that_o i_o have_v hurt_v he_o or_o yet_o by_o any_o

and_o upon_o christ_n neither_o yet_o allow_v we_o of_o any_o other_o charity_n then_o of_o that_o whereof_o he_o be_v the_o bond_n so_o that_o the_o principal_a point_n and_o beginning_n to_o
