submit_v to_o austin_n will_n for_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o quarrel_n as_o our_o writer_n say_v this_o their_o refusal_n to_o yield_v to_o austin_n the_o monk_n i_o produce_v as_o a_o proof_n that_o the_o christian_n which_o he_o find_v here_o hold_v in_o many_o thing_n with_o the_o eastern_a church_n as_o have_v their_o doctrine_n from_o jerusalem_n and_o zion_n whence_o the_o gospel_n

with_o gift_n for_o the_o work_n command_v this_o further_a appear_v by_o that_o resolute_a answer_n which_o the_o abbot_n of_o bangor_n give_v to_o austin_n the_o monk_n anno_fw-la 601._o viz._n that_o he_o and_o his_o acknowledge_v no_o superiority_n in_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n over_o they_o nor_o any_o superior_a but_o their_o own_o archbishop_n caer-leonis_n or_o as_o some_o have_v

of_o church_n and_o as_o a_o call_v appoint_v by_o the_o apostle_n what_o more_o have_v we_o for_o baptism_n of_o infant_n what_o more_o for_o our_o sunday_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o convince_a deduction_n from_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n successive_o to_o this_o very_a day_n yet_o
