the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v and_o tho_o protestant_n never_o refuse_v to_o yield_v assent_n to_o all_o such_o doctrine_n as_o the_o church_n true_o catholic_n have_v in_o all_o age_n teach_v yet_o

be_v the_o same_o they_o all_o feed_v on_o yet_o the_o relish_n be_v as_o different_a as_o their_o temper_n and_o palate_n do_v you_o therefore_o see_v that_o man_n will_v never_o be_v of_o one_o

for_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o many_o cardinal_n who_o have_v differ_v from_o his_o holiness_n and_o among_o themselves_o too_o about_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v it_o not_o then_o as_o plain_a

be_v utter_o abolish_v let_v not_o any_o man_n interpret_v this_o to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o learning_n since_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o the_o learned_a have_v vast_a
