which_o orthodoxus_n return_v this_o answer_n thou_o be_v catch_v in_o thy_o own_o net_n because_o the_o mystical_a symbol_n after_o consecration_n do_v not_o pass_v out_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n

but_o this_o if_o a_o pope_n and_o council_n shall_v define_v a_o new_a thing_n and_o declare_v they_o ground_n themselves_o on_o new_a light_n as_o do_v their_o first_o reformer_n in_o england_n

but_o what_o mean_v the_o man_n of_o reason_n that_o they_o make_v no_o new_a definition_n sure_o not_o for_o than_o what_o do_v they_o meet_v for_o and_o what_o mean_v their_o decree_n but_o he_o

that_o we_o must_v believe_v his_o bare_a word_n but_o we_o not_o only_o say_v but_o prove_v that_o even_o their_o last_o council_n have_v define_v many_o thing_n which_o never_o be_v deliver_v by_o

which_o you_o miscall_v the_o catholic_n but_o be_v more_o true_o know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o piece_n of_o mr._n s_n sagacity_n to_o be_v take_v
