that_o the_o heresy_n object_v be_v in_o deed_n such_o as_o be_v account_v and_o condemn_v for_o a_o heresy_n in_o the_o primative_a church_n and_o not_o only_o that_o a_o heretic_n hold_v it_o for_o heretic_n do_v hold_v diverse_a truth_n always_o together_o with_o falsehood_n and_o for_o lack_v of_o this_o condition_n do_v our_o adversary_n often_o abuse_v the_o simple_a people_n as_o m._n fulke_o oftentimes_o say_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o heresy_n because_o the_o montanist_n which_o be_v heretic_n hold_v it_o but_o let_v he_o prove_v that_o ever_o this_o be_v account_v

here_o say_v again_o that_o let_v he_o and_o all_o the_o protestant_n in_o the_o world_n prove_v that_o we_o do_v hold_v in_o deed_n but_o any_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v account_v a_o heresy_n in_o
