this_o boniface_n be_v the_o vicar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o first_o you_o have_v no_o warrant_n or_o testimony_n for_o it_o from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n again_o you_o know_v well_o that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o spirit_n be_v always_o present_a with_o his_o church_n so_o that_o he_o can_v well_o rule_v and_o govern_v it_o himself_o three_o if_o he_o

the_o pope_n know_v not_o what_o to_o answer_v but_o be_v very_o angry_a bid_v he_o depart_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n the_o 23._o apologue_n by_o which_o be_v discover_v the_o foolish_a presumption_n
