that_o what_o man_n soever_o hould_v any_o erroneous_a opinion_n touch_v faith_n and_o be_v advertise_v thereof_o by_o god_n church_n and_o not_o yield_n his_o judgement_n in_o all_o humility_n thereto_o be_v thereby_o become_v a_o heretic_n and_o such_o be_v the_o state_n of_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n since_o the_o one_o do_v ever_o reciprocal_o charge_v and_o condemn_v the_o other_o with_o false_a doctrine_n &_o therefore_o see_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v with_o one_o of_o they_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o other_o not_o submit_v their_o judgment_n to_o it_o be_v

be_v condemn_v by_o the_o church_n whereas_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o after_o its_o condemnation_n be_v become_v heretic_n according_a to_o that_o of_o vincentius_n lyrinensis_n in_o his_o worthy_a
