the_o holy_a gooste_n they_o be_v to_o be_v account_v and_o repute_v here_o in_o this_o world_n to_o be_v in_o the_o nombre_fw-fr of_o the_o say_v veray_v membre_n of_o christis_fw-la mystical_a

or_o restrain_v within_o the_o limit_n or_o bond_n of_o any_o one_o town_n city_n province_n region_n or_o country_n but_o that_o it_o be_v disperse_v and_o spread_v unyversal_o through_o out_o all_o

all_o consent_n in_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o same_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v bold_o pronounce_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v this_o holy_a church_n the_o veray_fw-fr espouse_v and_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o veray_fw-fr kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o veray_fw-fr temple_n of_o god_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o these_o particular_a church_n in_o what_o place_n of_o the_o world_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v congregat_v be_v the_o very_a part_n portion_n or_o membre_n of_o this_o catholyque_a and_o unyversall_a church_n and_o that_o between_o they_o there_o be_v in_o deed_n no_o dyfference_n in_o superiority_n preeminence_n or_o authority_n neither_o that_o any_o one_o of_o they_o be_v heed_n or_o soveraygne_a over_o the_o other_o but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o equal_a in_o power_n and_o dygnitie_n and_o be_v all_o ground_a and_o build_v upon_o one_o foundation_n and_o be_v all_o call_v

with_o one_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o rome_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n nor_o can_v not_o worthy_o be_v call_v the_o catholyque_a church_n but_o only_o a_o partycular_a member_n thereof_o and_o can_v not_o challenge_v or_o vendicate_v of_o right_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v heed_n of_o this_o unyversall_a church_n or_o to_o have_v any_o superiority_n over_o other_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v in_o england_n france_n espayne_n or_o in_o any_o other_o realm_n but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o free_a from_o any_o subjection_n unto_o the_o say_a church_n of_o rome_n or_o unto_o the_o mynyster_n or_o bishop_n of_o the_o same_o and_o i_o believe_v also_o that_o the_o say_a church_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o other_o partycular_a church_n in_o the_o world_n compact_v and_o unyte_v together_o do_v make_v and_o constitute_v but_o one_o catholyque_a church_n or_o body_n and_o that_o like_v as_o our_o savyour_fw-mi christ_n be_v one_o person_n and_o the_o only_a heed_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n so_o this_o hole_n catholyke_a church_n christis_fw-la mystical_a body_n be_v but_o one_o

consi_a in_o the_o point_n before_o rehearse_v that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o christis_fw-la faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n and_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o right_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o unity_n and_o unyforme_v use_v of_o the_o sacrament_n consonant_a unto_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o say_v partycular_a church_n and_o the_o membre_n of_o the_o same_o do_v moche_n dyfferre_fw-la and_o be_v discrepant_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o not_o only_o in_o the_o dyversite_a of_o nation_n and_o country_n and_o in_o the_o

and_o i_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o particular_a church_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v membre_n of_o this_o catholyque_a church_n may_v all_o be_v call_v apostolical_a church_n aswell_o as_o
