i_o may_v make_v a_o like_a reason_n or_o argument_n and_o prove_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v christ_n thus_o he_o that_o baptyse_v as_o saint_n johan_n say_v in_o the_o water_n and_o gyve_v the_o

there_o in_o the_o sacrament_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v remyt_n sin_v and_o geve_v the_o holy_a goost_n by_o cause_n that_o god_n workyth_v the_o forgevenes_n of_o sin_n and_o geve_v the_o holy_a

wash_v the_o soul_n of_o he_o who_o the_o priest_n baptyzyth_v why_o then_o you_o will_v say_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o necessary_a since_o god_n do_v al._n yet_o remember_v

priest_n by_o the_o myghtyfull_a power_n of_o his_o word_n speak_v by_o the_o priest_n make_v of_o bread_n the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o ought_v we_o to_o believe_v be_v it_o never_o so_o much_o against_o nature_n and_o never_o so_o far_o above_o reason_n for_o unto_o
he_o that_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o lord_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o can_v alter_v nature_n when_o he_o please_v and_o do_v wonderful_a thing_n innumerable_a that_o infynyte_o
