or_o sacrament_n peculiar_a to_o themselves_o or_o that_o may_v be_v call_v they_o but_o only_o to_o the_o doctrine_n &_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n receive_v in_o the_o catholic_n church_n if_o the_o

to_o administer_v seven_o sacrament_n and_o administer_v only_o two_o as_o mr._n m._n say_v than_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o doubt_v their_o authority_n to_o minister_v those_o two_o whereas_o they_o be_v rather_o accountable_a for_o their_o not_o hold_v and_o administer_a the_o other_o five_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o receive_v in_o their_o ordination_n power_n from_o
