that_o there_o be_v no_o innovation_n in_o religion_n but_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o this_o mean_n shall_v a_o true_a peace_n concord_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v

proceed_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o all_o the_o church_n who_o have_v fall_v from_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n do_v not_o
