as_o the_o bishop_n say_v the_o scripture_n make_v purgatory_n know_v to_o the_o church_n but_o unperfectlie_o yet_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o if_o god_n make_v purgatory_n know_v by_o the_o

again_o to_o retract_v his_o opinion_n or_o else_o will_v he_o will_v he_o condemn_v the_o pope_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o a_o most_o plain_a and_o evident_a

as_o my_o lord_n of_o rochester_n can_v do_v right_a well_o upon_o these_o observation_n than_o i_o infer_v first_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n not_o know_v purgatory_n for_o many_o year_n
