of_o damnation_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o bread_n and_o no_o wine_n when_o all_o the_o sound_a sense_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n do_v perceive_v bread_n and_o wine_n by_o

often_o put_v i_o to_o a_o doubt_n whether_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o any_o mortal_a man_n unfeigned_o and_o full_o to_o believe_v it_o and_o whether_o there_o be_v real_o any_o such_o papist_n in_o the_o world_n or_o whether_o most_o do_v not_o for_o carnal_a respect_n take_v on_o they_o to_o believe_v it_o when_o they_o do_v not_o or_o rather_o the_o vulgar_a understand_v their_o word_n as_o not_o real_o exclude_v the_o true_a be_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o the_o rest_n only_o somewhat_o overaw_v their_o own_o reason_n with_o a_o reverence_n of_o their_o church_n so_o far_o as_o

be_v to_o be_v by_o they_o believe_v with_o it_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o man_n that_o understand_v they_o can_v possible_o believe_v they_o all_o and_o all_o this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o miracle_n stupendous_a miracle_n daily_a or_o common_a miracle_n which_o every_o priest_n can_v do_v at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o never_o fail_v sober_a or_o drunken_a great_a than_o raise_v a_o man_n from_o

all_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n and_o claim_v the_o government_n of_o it_o vi_o reason_n the_o say_a papacy_n hold_v their_o claim_n of_o supreme_a government_n as_o by_o god_n appointment_n though_o they_o confess_v as_o before_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fide_fw-la that_o the_o pope_n succee_v peter_n by_o divine_a right_n and_o this_o notorious_o contrary_a to_o the_o
