the_o faith_n which_o all_o the_o apostle_n preach_v which_o all_o christian_a church_n receive_v and_o for_o which_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v here_o commend_v be_v make_v up_o of_o those_o

which_o whosoever_o believe_v be_v a_o right_a catholic_n and_o sound_a believer_n but_o to_o avoid_v prolixity_n i_o shall_v only_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o we_o meet_v with_o in_o irenaeus_n

the_o universal_a church_n be_v one_o because_o the_o faith_n of_o every_o church_n in_o the_o world_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o that_o none_o either_o teach_v more_o or_o believe_v less_o than_o that_o one_o faith_n do_v amount_v unto_o alas_o in_o those_o day_n the_o creed_n of_o all_o christian_n be_v a_o plain_a easy_a and_o short_a one_o for_o they_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v
