much_o for_o the_o pope_n as_z for_o the_o archbishop_n for_o although_o they_o be_v two_o head_n yet_o they_o stand_v upon_o one_o neck_n and_o therefore_o the_o reform_a church_n which_o cut_v

you_o must_v be_v drive_v to_o expound_v this_o word_n church_n province_n the_o papist_n which_o cite_v this_o place_n for_o the_o pope_n as_o you_o do_v for_o the_o archbishop_n expound_v the_o
