reformation_n other_o note_n i_o observe_v be_v not_o proper_o note_n of_o the_o true_a church_n any_o otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o common_a christianity_n

let_v he_o read_v the_o examination_n of_o the_o 9th_o note_n for_o this_o but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n do_v convert_v more_o to_o the_o christian_a faith_n than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o christian_n as_o the_o spaniard_n convert_v the_o poor_a indian_n this_o follow_v undeniable_o that_o they_o believe_v they_o be_v more_o bind_v to_o spread_v the_o

but_o he_o say_v the_o pharisee_n compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v a_o proselyte_n prove_v they_o to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o zealous_a of_o all_o the_o jewish_a party_n though_o

church_n be_v part_n of_o christ_n one_o catholic_n church_n and_o whatever_o unity_n there_o be_v among_o other_o church_n if_o they_o be_v not_o true_a church_n they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o christ_n
