prebere_fw-la because_o they_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o augustine_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

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

therefore_o methinks_v it_o shall_v not_o now_o be_v question_v whether_o episcopacy_n be_v a_o romish_a relic_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v confirm_v as_o a_o evangelical_n ordinance_n
