of_o all_o which_o indeed_o magnify_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n very_o much_o but_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o credit_n of_o all_o the_o general_a council_n before_o it_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n ground_n many_o of_o her_o definition_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o general_n council_n that_o go_v before_o i_o conceive_v that_o all_o who_o live_v three_o

they_o tell_v we_o before_o the_o council_n sit_v for_o any_o thing_n far_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v excuse_v and_o how_o can_v that_o council_n be_v general_n enough_o to_o be_v infallible_a which_o
