prove_v independent_o already_o to_o be_v worse_o than_o jew_n turk_n or_o infidel_n let_v we_o now_o see_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o and_o papist_n papist_n say_v that_o the_o

be_v to_o be_v try_v by_o their_o spirit_n and_o not_o their_o spirit_n by_o the_o scripture_n be_v contrary_a to_o saint_n john_n rule_n 4.1_o 1_o joh._n 4.1_o which_o advise_v we_o not_o to_o

the_o pope_n he_o say_v he_o can_v sin_v only_o out_o of_o peter_n chair_n he_o confess_v he_o may_v err_v but_o our_o adversary_n plain_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o can_v sin_v at_o all_o and_o why_o
