you_o our_o king_n will_v marry_v his_o son_n and_o ask_v the_o pope_n no_o leave_n if_o the_o other_o party_n will_v adventure_v it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o it_o be_v most_o intolerable_a that_o you_o

to_o wit_n in_o the_o main_a against_o the_o main_a precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n believe_v and_o repent_v for_o he_o can_v fall_v into_o impenitency_n and_o infidelity_n because_o the_o seed_n of_o

which_o the_o church_n utter_v not_o immediate_o from_o herself_o by_o the_o commission_n which_o christ_n give_v unto_o she_o but_o by_o her_o frail_a member_n suppose_v a_o synod_n and_o assembly_n of_o pastor_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o determine_v thing_n doubtful_a out_o of_o obscure_a place_n of_o scripture_n and_o to_o make_v they_o more_o plain_a than_o the_o scripture_n do_v upon_o which_o they_o build_v this_o voice_n may_v err_v and_o by_o it_o the_o church_n may_v be_v say_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o err_v in_o some_o part_n though_o not_o whole_o nor_o final_o nor_o

whole_a shall_v not_o err_v final_o this_o be_v my_o answer_n but_o because_o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o ground_n whereon_o to_o fasten_v that_o we_o may_v not_o spend_v time_n in_o question_n
