all_o consent_n in_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o same_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v bold_o pronounce_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v this_o holy_a church_n the_o veray_fw-fr espouse_v and_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o veray_fw-fr kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o veray_fw-fr temple_n of_o god_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o these_o particular_a church_n in_o what_o place_n of_o the_o world_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v congregat_v be_v the_o very_a part_n portion_n or_o membre_n of_o this_o catholyque_a and_o

with_o one_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o rome_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n nor_o can_v not_o worthy_o be_v call_v the_o catholyque_a church_n but_o only_o a_o partycular_a member_n thereof_o and_o can_v not_o challenge_v or_o vendicate_v of_o right_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v heed_n of_o this_o

all_o free_a from_o any_o subjection_n unto_o the_o say_a church_n of_o rome_n or_o unto_o the_o mynyster_n or_o bishop_n of_o the_o same_o and_o i_o believe_v also_o that_o the_o say_a church_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o other_o partycular_a church_n in_o the_o world_n compact_v and_o unyte_v together_o do_v make_v and_o constitute_v but_o one_o catholyque_a church_n or_o body_n and_o that_o like_v
