those_o ceremony_n to_o be_v brief_a the_o first_o catholic_n church_n do_v acknowledge_v none_o to_o be_v her_o universal_a head_n but_o christ_n i●sus_n only_o and_o she_o submit_v herself_o to_o

the_o like_a yea_o he_o must_v have_v power_n to_o depose_v all_o such_o prince_n as_o will_v not_o bow_v to_o he_o and_o be_v his_o executioner_n in_o execute_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n upon_o all_o
