do_v you_o forget_v what_o you_o confess_v in_o the_o symbol_n of_o your_o belief_n when_o you_o say_v i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n which_o be_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n

will_v propound_v a_o similitude_n we_o be_v in_o this_o life_n as_o in_o a_o city_n which_o of_o right_n belong_v to_o some_o good_a prince_n but_o this_o city_n be_v usurp_v and_o oppress_v by_o a_o
