their_o meaning_n be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v because_o christ_n be_v head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v under_o he_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a but_o may_v well_o be_v of_o some_o particular_a church_n as_o king_n henry_n be_v and_o the_o queen_n majesty_n now_o be_v then_o demand_v of_o they_o what_o reason_n they_o have_v to_o lead_v they_o to_o say_v that_o a_o particular_a

member_n may_v have_v two_o head_n more_o than_o one_o body_n final_o if_o at_o that_o time_n they_o flatter_v the_o king_n and_o give_v he_o that_o which_o neither_o they_o can_v give_v nor_o he_o
