the_o gospel_n for_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o all_o the_o church_n who_o have_v fall_v from_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n do_v not_o only_o want_v

i_o call_v those_o thing_n a_o man_n own_o not_o so_o much_o which_o every_o man_n have_v invent_v as_o those_o beside_o which_o every_o man_n choose_v to_o himself_o receive_v retain_v and_o pursue_v though_o they_o be_v invent_v to_o his_o hand_n by_o other_o but_o if_o there_o be_v also_o annex_v the_o example_n of_o other_o man_n they_o be_v more_o and_o more_o harden_v in_o they_o and_o be_v
