the_o unite_n and_o rule_v of_o they_o which_o be_v so_o much_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o flat_a impossibility_n it_o be_v not_o moral_o possible_a to_o bring_v all_o the_o christian_a world_n to_o be_v of_o the_o popish_a opinion_n herein_o it_o be_v a_o point_n that_o be_v so_o void_a of_o cogent_a evidence_n from_o scripture_n and_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v both_o against_o it_o it_o be_v natural_o impossible_a for_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o faithful_a governor_n of_o all_o the_o world_n if_o they_o will_v consent_v how_o many_o year_n must_v they_o be_v travel_v or_o sail_v to_o rome_n from_o the_o antipode_n or_o other_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n most_o of_o they_o that_o have_v cause_n of_o appeal_n to_o the_o pope_n will_v either_o be_v drown_v at_o

again_o so_o many_o thousand_o mile_n and_o when_o all_o the_o prince_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v usual_o in_o war_n will_v they_o give_v their_o subject_n leave_v to_o travail_v so_o far_o and_o that_o where_o the_o prince_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o christianity_n as_o the_o turk_n be_v or_o will_v the_o prince_n that_o he_o be_v in_o war_n with_o give_v leave_n to_o his_o
