i_o do_v not_o gain_v say_v it_o hillarius_n afterward_o do_v you_o not_o confess_v that_o god_n which_o make_v that_o law_n can_v dispense_v with_o it_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o that_o where_o there_o be_v dispensation_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o more_o law_n theophilus_n i_o also_o agree_v unto_o thou_o in_o that_o hillarius_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n as_o saint_n paul_n 15_o witness_v there_o be_v no_o transgression_n nor_o sin_n theophilus_n i_o do_v now_o perceive_v where_o unto_o thou_o will_v come_v i_o well_o perceive_v that_o you_o mind_n to_o conclude_v that_o

i_o will_v bring_v forth_o yet_o another_o consequence_n by_o the_o which_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o he_o which_o do_v against_o the_o law_n of_o that_o pope_n which_o have_v no_o foundation_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v not_o sin_n but_o against_o y_fw-fr pope_n &_o not_o against_o god_n for_o god._n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n against_o god_n but_o in_o that_o whereof_o there_o
