of_o the_o matter_n between_o we_o and_o rome_n they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v heretic_n we_o deny_v it_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o see_v we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n which_o be_v give_v by_o

that_o their_o critic_n spirit_n proceed_v more_o out_o of_o philosophical_a and_o mathematical_a than_o out_o of_o christian_a or_o thologicall_a ground_n in_o this_o their_o censure_n of_o my_o
