and_o at_o this_o day_n the_o most_o part_n of_o europe_n be_v convert_v from_o idolatry_n heresy_n and_o antichristianitie_n unto_o the_o same_o true_a faith_n that_o we_o maintain_v as_o in_o

if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v god_n his_o book_n we_o believe_v you_o not_o because_o you_o say_v so_o but_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o if_o you_o bring_v out_o a_o false_a sense_n

because_o we_o know_v this_o sense_n be_v contrary_a to_o a_o other_o scripture_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god._n so_o when_o you_o say_v these_o word_n be_v the_o scripture_n of_o god_n this_o be_v my_o body_n we_o believe_v it_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o when_o you_o say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n this_o bread_n
