of_o these_o three_o thing_n that_o you_o can_v prove_v by_o scripture_n especial_o the_o second_o &_o the_o thyrd_o as_o you_o youre selfe_o do_v confess_v wherefore_o i_o can_v not_o see_v with_o what_o face_n you_o can_v bear_v down_o so_o manifest_a a_o lie_n then_o master_n pseudologus_n say_v we_o know_v that_o our_o bishop_n be_v pope_n &_o that_o with_o a_o fullness_n of_o power_n &_o we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v receive_v this_o authority_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o s._n peter_n and_o not_o of_o man_n wherefore_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v pope_n by_o the_o law_n of_o

before_o rehearse_v can_v be_v prove_v by_o thauthoritie_n of_o holy_a scripture_n then_o say_v thimbassadour_n because_o we_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o the_o foundation_n and_o chief_a principle_n of_o our_o religion_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o they_o appear_v most_o plain_o by_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v set_v fire_n and_o torment_n before_o

that_o thing_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n furthermore_o he_o will_v have_v it_o be_v beleve_v that_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o holy_a scripture_n that_o our_o byshoppe_n
