be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v than_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o council_n know_v not_o when_o they_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o canon_n and_o father_n and_o hear_v tradition_n but_o that_o they_o

a_o far_o hard_a matter_n to_o understand_v a_o sentence_n or_o book_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o council_n when_o you_o read_v or_o hear_v it_o then_o to_o know_v bread_n when_o you_o see_v and_o feel_v
