the_o gloss_n of_o the_o decretal_n and_o out_o of_o this_o we_o have_v to_o note_v two_o principal_a point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a church_n have_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o she_o can_v not_o only_o change_v the_o bread_n into_o flesh_n but_o be_v able_a to_o make_v of_o a_o stone_n a_o head_n &_o as_o well_o transubstantiate_a the_o word_n as_o the_o bread_n the_o
