A64146 An answer to a book entituled An account of the Church Catholike where it was before the Reformation; and whether Rome were or be the Church Catholike.

the_o ancient_a catholic_a faith_n so_o that_o in_o k._n edw._n vi_o day_n the_o nation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v heretical_a but_o the_o church_n be_v even_o at_o that_o time_n catholic_a
