progress_n in_o virtue_n final_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o church_n be_v such_o that_o even_o simple_a protestant_n when_o they_o see_v any_o catholic_a do_v a_o thing_n amiss_o will_v ordinary_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o do_v thus_o or_o a_o man_n of_o your_o profession_n shall_v do_v otherwise_o so_o that_o those_o which_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v in_o any_o sort_n

although_o there_o be_v some_o sinful_a man_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n yet_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v holy_a because_o the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o believe_v and_o profess_v of_o it_o own_o
