and_o these_o scripture_n themselves_o we_o see_v do_v not_o point_v at_o the_o papist_n alone_o as_o if_o they_o only_o be_v culpable_a herein_o but_o they_o concern_v all_o other_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o come_v within_o compass_v of_o these_o rule_n now_o to_o show_v in_o particular_n how_o the_o papist_n offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n deny_v that_o in_o deed_n concern_v christ_n
