man_n law_n have_v such_o a_o chair_n of_o virtue_n as_o this_o pope_n chair_n be_v to_o sit_v in_o than_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o take_v such_o pain_n in_o study_v night_n and_o day_n as_o

rather_o peter_n deny_v christ_n his_o master_n therefore_o the_o pope_n deny_v or_o forsake_v christ_n i_o think_v this_o be_v the_o more_o likely_a and_o true_a argument_n for_o if_o conjurer_n

the_o pope_n doctrine_n be_v to_o refuse_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n and_o so_o not_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n therefore_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o pope_n

as_o thief_n hate_v the_o light_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v spy_v so_o the_o pope_n because_o he_o be_v a_o spiritual_a thief_n hate_v the_o light_n
