you_o may_v perceive_v that_o which_o of_o late_o we_o do_v speak_v of_o namely_o sin_n that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 8._o have_v purge_v but_o only_o our_o original_a

of_o the_o decretal_n and_o out_o of_o this_o we_o have_v to_o note_v two_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a church_n have_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o she_o can_v not_o only_o change_v the_o bread_n into_o flesh_n but_o be_v able_a to_o make_v of_o a_o stone_n a_o head_n &_o as_o well_o transubstantiate_a the_o word_n as_o the_o bread_n the_o second_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o good_a similitude_n or_o parable_n upon_o the_o nearness_n of_o name_n in_o speech_n which_o in_o pronunciation_n do_v sound_v one_o like_o another_o as_o the_o
