begin_v and_o therefore_o we_o will_v ask_v she_o first_o a_o sober_a question_n which_o if_o she_o do_v please_v be_v answer_v in_o the_o negative_a with_o ease_n and_o that_o be_v whether_o christ_n do_v ever_o make_v a_o pope_n of_o peter_n or_o he_o ever_o take_v upon_o he_o such_o a_o lordly_a pope_n to_o be_v that_o unto_o he_o man_n stoop_v and_o bow_v the_o knee_n or_o whether_o any_o man_n

at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o command_n lie_v down_o at_o peter_n foot_n their_o sceptre_n and_o their_o crown_n and_o such_o as_o please_v he_o they_o set_z up_o but_o those_o that_o do_v displease_v he_o curse_n and_o they_o depose_v and_o all_o such_o prince_n that_o refuse_v to_o bow_v unto_o his_o will_n or_o will_v he_o not_o allow_v their_o subject_n unto_o they_o such_o honour_n give_v under_o who_o government_n they_o then_o do_v live_v as_o he_o the_o church_n shall_v do_v do_v once_o command_v as_o in_o his_o letter_n they_o may_v understand_v if_o rome_n can_v answer_v this_o from_o scripture-proof_n in_o the_o affirmative_a i_o think_v she_o do_v more_o than_o her_o doctor_n ever_o do_v before_o ere_o since_o the_o spirit_n say_v she_o be_v a_o whore_n but_o peter_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v pope_n he_o be_v no_o lord_n i_o may_v conclude_v i_o hope_v if_o that_o be_v so_o as_o that_o it_o be_v than_o we_o believe_v the_o pope_n be_v young_a far_o than_o he_o for_o peter_n leave_v this_o charge_n with_o elder_n as_o peter_z himself_z a_o elder_a also_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v feed_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n that_o be_v among_o they_o and_o of_o they_o shall_v take_v the_o care_n both_o willing_o and_o of_o a_o ready_a mind_n no_o such_o in_o babylon_n a_o man_n shall_v find_v that_o neither_o by_o constraint_n do_v undertake_v the_o charge_n nor_o yet_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n sake_n no_o nor_o as_o lord_n for_o lord_n they_o must_v not_o be_v nor_o lord_n it_o over_o god_n heritage_n but_o see_v they_o good_a ensample_n be_v unto_o the_o flock_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o may_v lay_v up_o a_o stock_n in_o heaven_n above_o which_o christ_n to_o they_o will_v give_v at_o his_o appearance_n but_o such_o man_n must_v live_v in_o faith_n in_o love_n in_o peace_n and_o purity_n in_o godliness_n and_o in_o the_o verity_n in_o doctrine_n unreprovable_a that_o so_o those_o that_o unlearned_a be_v the_o truth_n may_v know_v not_o in_o the_o
