this_o present_a throughout_o all_o the_o romish_a church_n as_o it_o be_v say_v so_o as_o they_o have_v convert_v god_n the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n into_o a_o corporal_a and_o corruptible_a

for_o see_v we_o hold_v the_o chiese_n of_o all_o divinitye_n of_o who_o all_o divine_a thing_n depend_v we_o think_v it_o superfluous_a to_o seek_v to_o private_a person_n and_o a_o little_a after_o
