that_o what_o man_n soever_o hould_v any_o erroneous_a opinion_n touch_v faith_n and_o be_v advertise_v thereof_o by_o god_n church_n and_o not_o yield_n his_o judgement_n in_o all_o humility_n

with_o false_a doctrine_n &_o therefore_o see_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v with_o one_o of_o they_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o other_o not_o submit_v their_o judgment_n to_o it_o be_v
