as_o i_o think_v will_v hardly_o prove_v the_o roman_a bishop_n to_o have_v power_n over_o all_o for_o whereas_o papa_n or_o papas_n among_o the_o greek_n signify_v a_o father_n and_o be_v the_o

the_o christian_n in_o ancient_a time_n do_v use_v to_o call_v their_o spiritual_a father_n and_o bishop_n pape_n or_o pope_n so_o that_o the_o name_n of_o pape_n or_o pope_n be_v a_o common_a name_n to_o all_o bishop_n whereupon_o augustinum_n hierome_n write_v to_o augustine_n call_v he_o pope_n and_o write_v to_o the_o most_o honourable_a pope_n whereas_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o universal_a bishop_n but_o bishop_n of_o little_a hippo_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o name_n of_o pope_n do_v no_o way_n prove_v every_o one_o that_o be_v so_o call_v to_o be_v universal_a bishop_n but_o they_o say_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v name_v absolute_o pope_n and_o none_o other_o bishop_n &_o that_o whensoever_o the_o name_n of_o pope_n be_v use_v absolute_o without_o addition_n all_o

all_o but_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o we_o say_v that_o the_o roman_a bishop_n be_v never_o in_o ancient_a time_n name_v absolute_o the_o pape_n or_o pope_n without_o specification_n of_o his_o name_n or_o the_o place_n whereof_o he_o be_v pope_n but_o when_o by_o some_o other_o circumstance_n it_o may_v be_v know_v what_o pape_n or_o pope_n it_o be_v man_n speak_v of_o according_o as_o man_n be_v

in_o the_o council_n of_o 16._o chalcedon_n say_v the_o most_o bless_a and_o apostolic_a man_n the_o pope_n give_v they_o such_o direction_n as_o they_o there_o specify_v without_o add_v of_o rome_n
