whereunto_o we_o oppose_v these_o argument_n first_o there_o be_v no_o vicar_n but_o impli_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o principal_a regent_n or_o governor_n for_o therefore_o king_n have_v their_o

and_o we_o say_v that_o our_o church_n have_v always_o be_v and_o now_o also_o be_v catholic_a because_o that_o after_o the_o apostle_n have_v gather_v the_o church_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n there_o
