holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o fundamental_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o at_o the_o very_a same_o instant_n she_o do_v teach_v another_o article_n which_o

the_o same_o time_n she_o call_v upon_o the_o saint_n which_o be_v a_o religious_a worship_n by_o their_o own_o confession_n and_o according_a to_o we_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n or_o part_n of_o that_o

suppose_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o pure_a and_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o creed_n we_o pretend_v that_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o in_o jesus_n

upon_o earth_n though_o in_o a_o invisible_a state_n and_o different_a from_o that_o estate_n he_o be_v in_o in_o heaven_n here_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v that_o in_o effect_n all_o these_o doctrine_n
