and_o the_o other_o deliver_v by_o calvin_n peter_n martyr_n brentius_n and_o other_o who_o he_o call_v heretic_n viz._n that_o the_o pope_n as_o pope_n have_v not_o by_o divine_a right_o any_o

he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v this_o exorbitant_a power_n of_o the_o pope_n by_o reason_n all_o which_o be_v found_v in_o the_o subordination_n and_o subjection_n of_o the_o temporal_a to_o the_o
