&_o not_o they_o who_o have_v take_v it_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n be_v not_o schismatic_n although_o they_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o scribe_n &_o pharisee_n &_o cut_v

amidst_o the_o church_n &_o we_o shall_v prove_v in_o his_o proper_a place_n that_z the_o self_n same_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o our_o time_n of_o those_o which_o have_v

the_o author_n of_o schism_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o rend_v themselves_o from_o charity_n &_o so_o by_o consequence_n from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o dathan_n core_n &_o abiram_n cut_v themselves_o asmuch_o as_n in_o they_o lie_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n concern_v the_o other_o we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o flock_n of_o christ_n but_o evil_a

although_o it_o be_v a_o separation_n yet_o proper_o it_o be_v not_o a_o schism_n and_o even_o as_o in_o faction_n which_o be_v make_v in_o a_o kingdom_n against_o the_o common_a wealth_n a_o good_a

of_o the_o prelate_n &_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o their_o subtle_a counsel_n this_o be_v simple_o speak_v of_o the_o schismatical_a church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o have_v no_o notable_a
