to_o make_v against_o this_o three_o note_n for_o that_o it_o be_v no_o good_a exception_n you_o may_v hereby_o perceive_v because_o the_o father_n make_v both_o note_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v wherefore_o the_o one_o destroy_v not_o the_o other_o but_o they_o stand_v both_o well_o together_o the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v this_o for_o that_o christian_n and_o catholic_n be_v both_o but_o one_o name_n and_o so_o of_o the_o father_n use_v and_o account_v who_o therefore_o common_o deny_v heretic_n to_o be_v christian_n because_o they_o be_v not_o catholic_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christian_n of_o all_o christendom_n but_o only_o of_o some_o piece_n the_o difference_n only_o be_v that_o the_o name_n catholic_a be_v plain_o in_o this_o case_n and_o invent_v to_o be_v join_v as_o a_o very_a singular_a epitheton_fw-la with_o christian_n so_o to_o put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n in_o say_v catholic_a christian_n for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o all_o one_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o say_v heretic_n christian_n which_o no_o man_n use_v to_o say_v and_o so_o have_v i_o by_o the_o very_a common_a name_n both_o of_o they_o and_o we_o make_v three_o most_o easy_a &_o most_o certain_a probation_n unpossible_a of_o they_o to_o be_v control_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o they_o out_o of_o the_o truth_n old_a heresy_n to_o proceed_v now_o to_o another_o like_a probation_n whatsoever_o be_v heresy_n in_o time_n past_a the_o same_o be_v heresy_n now_o also_o and_o the_o holder_n of_o it_o heretic_n as_o they_o be_v of_o old_a unless_o any_o man_n be_v so_o unfaithful_a

the_o same_o also_o for_o ever_o 13._o heb._n 13._o as_o certain_a therefore_o as_o this_o be_v that_o christ_n &_o truth_n change_v not_o so_o certain_o shall_v it_o be_v prove_v in_o this_o part_n
