of_o general_a concernment_n to_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o how_o come_v my_o late_a book_n to_o be_v make_v a_o example_n as_o for_o instance_n say_v he_o i_o find_v in_o a_o book_n new_o

without_o a_o particular_a licence_n be_v that_o which_o i_o undertake_v to_o show_v can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o any_o catholic_n tradition_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o general_n consent_n of_o

after_o the_o moor_n come_v into_o spain_n 3._o that_o even_o after_o the_o primitive_a time_n christian_a prince_n and_o bishop_n do_v take_v care_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v read_v the_o
