two_o head_n to_o one_o body_n we_o 16._o out_o of_o paul_n affirm_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a head_n of_o his_o church_n who_o use_v this_o demonstration_n he_o by_o who_o all_o the_o

same_o and_o none_o ever_o can_v take_v upon_o they_o just_o so_o to_o do_v to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o body_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n yet_o the_o adversary_n to_o the_o verity_n contend_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n who_o they_o call_v pope_n shall_v be_v add_v unto_o christ_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n lean_v unto_o this_o as_o to_o the_o special_a pillar_n and_o ground_n they_o build_v upon_o peter_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o pope_n be_v peter_n successor_n ergo_fw-la the_o pope_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o intent_n

be_v treat_v and_o discuss_v plain_o viz._n 1_o peter_n be_v never_o head_n of_o the_o church_n 2_o peter_n be_v never_o bishop_n of_o rome_n nor_o yet_o in_o rome_n 3_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o

precedent_n who_o shall_v either_o allow_v or_o disallow_v of_o their_o travel_n in_o their_o apostle_n ship_n etc._n etc._n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o never_o acknowledge_v peter_n head_n of_o the_o church_n nor_o of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n much_o less_o of_o they_o all_o yea_o christ_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n in_o who_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a 49._o and_o in_o
