by_o all_o sure_o the_o catholic_n church_n itself_o must_v be_v this_o which_o be_v everywhere_o always_o and_o be_v or_o will_v be_v find_v among_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n by_o reason_n

without_o a_o contradiction_n universal_a except_o one_o will_v grant_v unto_o a_o hand_n or_o a_o foot_n the_o name_n of_o a_o whole_a body_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o roman_a

that_o the_o roman_a church_n may_v be_v call_v a_o church_n although_o not_o in_o the_o moral_n yet_o in_o the_o physical_a sense_n just_a as_o a_o adultress_n do_v not_o lose_v the_o name_n of_o a_o
