catholic_a yea_o many_o not_o a_o christian_n his_o majesty_n at_o the_o first_o think_v the_o strife_n about_o those_o name_v not_o to_o be_v material_a while_o he_o hold_v that_o which_o be_v mean_v

in_o his_o religion_n you_o have_v make_v choice_n especial_o of_o those_o which_o concern_v matter_n of_o church_n assembly_n and_o divine_a service_n for_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o faithful_a

godly_a man_n have_v observe_v so_o many_o thing_n manifest_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o ancient_a catholic_a faith_n which_o thing_n nevertheless_o the_o pope_n have_v

the_o hearer_n wherefore_o the_o father_n provide_v the_o translation_n of_o scripture_n into_o all_o language_n and_o as_o epiphanius_n note_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o three_o book_n they_o have_v
