manifest_a than_o this_o therefore_o all_o catholic_n as_o m._n bellarmine_n affirm_v do_v not_o affirm_v peter_n to_o be_v the_o rock_n whereupon_o the_o church_n be_v build_v or_o if_o they_o do_v

against_o which_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o his_o enemy_n can_v be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o by_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n build_v not_o his_o church_n upon_o peter_n as_o a_o

of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n among_o who_o he_o reckon_v peter_n and_o last_o he_o conclude_v that_o principal_o or_o chief_o christ_n be_v the_o rock_n upon_o which_o the_o whole_a church_n
