both_o by_o catholic_a and_o protestant_a authority_n that_o both_o christ_n our_o saviour_n institute_v this_o holy_a sacrifice_n and_o sacrificinge_v priesthood_n and_o his_o apostle_n receavinge_v they_o from_o he_o do_v all_o in_o general_a both_o exercise_n and_o deliver_v the_o same_o unto_o the_o church_n there_o can_v be_v no_o christian_a desirous_a to_o retain_v that_o name_n that_o

s._n paul_n who_o have_v commit_v these_o christian_a holy_a secret_n to_o holy_a write_n i_o will_v show_v how_o both_o in_o these_o their_o sacred_a scripture_n they_o teach_v and_o allow_v the_o

question_n that_o this_o be_v and_o be_v their_o meaning_n in_o those_o holy_a scripture_n i_o will_v prove_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o true_a mass_v priest_n and_o actual_o do_v offer_v and_o celebrate_v the_o most_o honourable_a sacrifice_n of_o mass_n in_o essential_a thing_n as_o the_o holy_a catholic_a mass_v priest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o do_v and_o have_v ever_o most_o religious_o do_v in_o all_o age_n the_o same_o i_o will_v likewise_o prove_v of_o all_o the_o other_o apostle_n in_o their_o order_n only_o i_o will_v crave_v leave_n of_o s._n peter_n the_o first_o and_o chief_a to_o remember_v he_o last_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v at_o large_a in_o other_o place_n as_o among_o the_o apostle_n he_o be_v the_o first_o and_o allmoste_o only_a apostle_n which_o plant_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n in_o these_o part_n of_o the_o world_n so_o we_o in_o brittany_n do_v first_o receive_v from_o he_o our_o holy_a mass_v and_o sacrificinge_v priest_n and_o priesthood_n never_o hitherto_o altogether_o discontinue_v or_o interrupt_v but_o by_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n in_o the_o apostolic_a sea_n of_o rome_n
