see_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n with_o the_o deliver_a faith_n if_o you_o say_v so_o you_o desert_v your_o virtue_n of_o prophesy_v and_o come_v over_o to_o our_o school_n which_o you_o so_o

it_o be_v to_o much_o purpose_n to_o talk_v of_o the_o force_n of_o the_o word_n anathema_n while_o you_o have_v not_o settle_v a_o matter_n in_o which_o the_o church_n have_v a_o power_n to_o

for_o i_o can_v discover_v even_o your_o error_n without_o discover_v too_o the_o vanity_n of_o that_o school_n which_o you_o nickname_v the_o church_n and_o confident_o take_v upon_o you_o to_o be_v one_o of_o her_o master_n i_o doubt_v not_o if_o you_o attentive_o consider_v your_o eminent_a scholar_n you_o will_v find_v many_o of_o they_o speak_v indeed_o glorious_o of_o council_n but_o unless_o i_o be_v strange_o deceive_v they_o give_v they_o less_o of_o inward_a and_o real_a authority_n than_o i_o while_o they_o make_v they_o in_o effect_n but_o cipher_n to_o the_o pope_n without_o who_o they_o signify_v nothing_o though_o add_v perhaps_o to_o he_o they_o increase_v his_o signification_n yet_o sure_o not_o very_o much_o since_o in_o many_o of_o those_o master_n

the_o meaning_n of_o tradition_n which_o be_v no_o hide_a thing_n but_o the_o public_a and_o settle_a belief_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v impossible_a a_o pope_n or_o
