they_o will_v none_o of_o these_o nor_o own_v he_o for_o archbishop_n to_o which_o i_o say_v answer_v why_o fabian_z do_v not_o mistake_v bede_n and_o why_o that_o it_o do_v appear_v from_o his_o

this_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o their_o refuse_v to_o baptise_v child_n first_o because_o as_o to_o the_o baptise_v the_o adult_n they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o
