say_v he_o that_o this_o council_n be_v receive_v by_o the_o bishop_n but_o what_o man_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o the_o bishop_n have_v another_o faith_n and_o religion_n from_o that_o

for_o the_o huguenot_n may_v as_o well_o convert_v this_o reason_n to_o persuade_v the_o king_n to_o reform_v the_o church_n as_o the_o catholic_n use_v it_o to_o incline_v he_o to_o maintain_v the_o
