end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o church_n cleve_v only_o to_o he_o honour_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n that_o the_o same_o worship_v he_o not_o in_o element_n or_o corruptible_a thing_n

free_o for_o our_o merit_n must_v come_v to_o and_o so_o our_o salvation_n thereby_o be_v make_v perfect_a and_o therefore_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a they_o impugn_v and_o persecute_v this_o

more_o catholikly_a and_o to_o frame_v our_o talk_n in_o this_o wise_a namely_o that_o man_n have_v their_o sin_n in_o deed_n forgive_v through_o christ_n but_o not_o without_o the_o key_n grant_v unto_o the_o priest_n which_o be_v lawful_o employ_v in_o confession_n that_o man_n sin_n be_v indeed_o pardon_v as_o touch_v the_o fault_n but_o not_o as_o touch_v the_o pain_n which_o pain_n say_v they_o be_v take_v away_o or_o minister_v by_o satisfaction_n or_o by_o the_o pope_n pardon_n and_o the_o beléever_n be_v save_v indeed_o but_o yet_o their_o soul_n must_v first_o be_v well_o sodden_a and_o purge_v with_o fire_n and_o holy_a water_n they_o add_v moreover_o that_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o good_a life_n but_o not_o altogether_o perfect_a but_o that_o the_o want_v thereof_o be_v patch_v up_o with_o lively_a tradition_n and_o by_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o counsel_n and_o father_n that_o the_o rule_n of_o munks_n be_v most_o allowable_a and_o most_o perfect_a because_o forsooth_o they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o perfection_n that_o christ_n in_o deed_n be_v the_o high_a head_n in_o heaven_n but_o that_o he_o in_o earth_n have_v place_v in_o his-sted_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n with_o fullness_n of_o power_n to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n so_o that_o they_o which_o do_v not_o

that_o christ_n be_v in_o deed_n in_o heaven_n with_o his_o father_n a_o intercessor_n and_o mediator_n for_o the_o faithful_a yet_o they_o add_v by_o and_o by_o but_o he_o be_v not_o a_o mediator_n

mercy_n unto_o sinner_n call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o saint_n so_o they_o grant_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n &_o truth_n but_o yet_o they_o affirm_v that_o he_o
