to_o any_o private_a person_n whatsoever_o so_o that_o if_o he_o will_v have_v publish_v anathema_n with_o authority_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v print_v those_o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n viz._n

the_o question_n now_o be_v whether_o such_o a_o supposition_n in_o the_o sacrament_n do_v justify_v that_o adoration_n our_o author_n say_v he_o account_v it_o most_o damnable_a to_o worship_n or_o
