of_o faith_n uncorrupt_a i_o remember_v then_o to_o have_v ask_v of_o your_o reverence_n where_o this_o catholic_a church_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o you_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v disperse_v all_o over_o the_o christian_a world_n i_o be_v trouble_v that_o your_o answer_n be_v so_o wide_a however_o i_o resolve_v to_o search_v and_o first_o i_o inquire_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n indeed_o they_o assure_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v there_o find_v what_o i_o look_v for_o it_o be_v true_a i_o find_v they_o all_o of_o one_o mind_n in_o necessary_n but_o when_o i_o examine_v their_o doctrine_n i_o perceive_v as_o you_o have_v often_o declare_v that_o if_o you_o be_v true_a there_o be_v be_v much_o corrupt_a or_o if_o they_o dissemble_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v under_o as_o great_a a_o condemnation_n among_o they_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n then_o i_o go_v into_o the_o greek_a church_n but_o find_v there_o also_o the_o same_o
