the_o apostle_n who_o be_v the_o governor_n will_v never_o have_v suffer_v this_o which_o since_o they_o do_v i_o conceive_v it_o direct_o conclusive_a against_o your_o notion_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o

you_o here_o place_n both_o he_o and_o a_o schismatic_a in_o the_o same_o state_n of_o exclusion_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v a_o question_n whether_o by_o our_o unwary_a

you_o affirm_v that_o he_o who_o divide_v from_o one_o sound_a part_n divide_v from_o all_o be_v it_o not_o rather_o demonstrable_a that_o he_o who_o communicate_v with_o one_o sound_a part_n or_o

you_o have_v condemn_v yourself_o or_o the_o church_n in_o which_o you_o live_v of_o schism_n and_o divide_v from_o christ_n body_n you_o may_v thank_v yourself_o if_o it_o follow_v from_o the_o
