church_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n nor_o be_v rome_n itself_o so_o but_o ever_o since_o their_o beginning_n they_o have_v be_v visible_a sometime_o obey_v the_o pope_n and_o

universal_a sovereignty_n 3._o that_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o own_o it_o at_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o whole_a may_v be_v denominate_v from_o the_o

no_o congregation_n of_o christian_n have_v be_v perpetual_o visible_a but_o that_o which_o acknowledge_v the_o patriarch_n in_o the_o empire_n at_o least_o heretofore_o ergo_fw-la no_o other_o be_v
