for_o so_o he_o call_v it_o which_o i_o follow_v unto_o this_o his_o long_a oration_n i_o make_v a_o sherte_n answer_v how_o that_o my_o memory_n be_v evil_a for_o to_o answer_v particular_o his_o

of_o long_a time_n have_v persecute_v it_o but_o by_o y_z e_z prophet_n &_o other_o good_a simple_a man_n which_o perchance_o be_v count_v for_o heretic_n with_o the_o church_n that_o be_v with_o

quoth_v i_o ●_o saint_n peter_n gyve_v a_o occasion_n when_o he_o say_v that_o as_o it_o go_v in_o y_z e_z church_n before_o christ_n come_n so_o shall_v it_o go_v in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o

of_o it_o ▪_o they_o do_v corrupt_a as_o i_o take_v it_o you_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o the_o persecution_n they_o stir_v up_o against_o the_o prophet_n &_o christ_n be_v not_o for_o the_o law_n but_o for_o the_o interpretation_n of_o it_o as_o you_o say_v now_o that_o we_o must_v have_v the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n at_o your_o hand_n but_o to_o make_v a_o end_n quoth_v i_o
