universal_a church_n consist_v of_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a whereupon_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o world_n make_v this_o universal_a church_n which_o can_v err_v whereof_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o head_n the_o pope_n be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n but_o not_o true_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o note_v the_o gloss_n upon_o the_o clementines_n which_o say_v very_o well_o that_o when_o the_o pope_n be_v dead_a the_o church_n want_v not_o then_o a_o head_n and_o this_o be_v that_o church_n which_o can_v err_v out_o of_o these_o word_n i_o

yield_v not_o any_o infallible_a judgement_n cap._n vii_o show_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o sole_a and_o only_o infallible_a rule_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o

of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v neither_o as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v i_o
