that_o hold_v preach_v or_o defend_v the_o contrary_a this_o excommunication_n pope_n sixtus_n the_o four_o thunder_v out_o in_o his_o extravagant_a in_o the_o year_n 1474._o by_o which_o practical_a

for_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n second_o that_o they_o join_v formal_a succession_n with_o material_a until_o saint_n austin_n day_n and_o long_o after_o three_o that_o the_o

of_o truth_n theoph._n saint_n paul_n say_v plain_o that_o there_o must_v be_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n in_o the_o church_n until_o the_o world_n end_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v say_v the_o papist_n
