to_o foresee_v by_o the_o degree_n the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n hold_v with_o those_o of_o his_o persuasion_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o he_o shall_v explain_v himself_o more_o

be_v less_o subject_a unto_o contestation_n and_o of_o more_o certain_a use_n the_o matter_n chief_o contend_v for_o herein_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n such_o as_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n do_v represent_v it_o in_o this_o second_o edition_n of_o his_o treatise_n do_v nevertheless_o always_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o salvation_n
