a_o book_n that_o mistake_v the_o subject_n to_o be_v discourse_v on_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v say_v the_o great_a question_n about_o etc._n etc._n but_o two_o question_n the_o one_o a_o great_a

for_o that_o court._n and_o when_o you_o have_v say_v this_o in_o all_o reason_n have_v a_o design_n to_o triumph_v over_o roman_a catholic_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v say_v a_o word_n about_o this_o little_a trifle_a unconcern_v question_n but_o have_v bend_v all_o your_o force_n against_o that_o great_a one_o which_o be_v only_o to_o the_o purpose_n 3._o but_o you_o very_o wise_o have_v

which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v no_o catholic_n be_v oblige_v to_o maintain_v and_o consequent_o no_o protestant_n needs_o trouble_v himself_o about_o it_o nay_o moreover_o you_o say_v the_o

above_o the_o pope_n which_o therefore_o may_v reverse_v his_o decision_n and_o actual_o condemn_v a_o pope_n of_o heresy_n you_o may_v have_v add_v the_o seven_o and_o eight_o general_n council_n
