his_o collection_n from_o this_o question_n that_o every_o parish_n shall_v bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v very_o absurd_a because_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o church_n in_o

subtlety_n be_v beyond_o my_o comprehension_n 1_o for_o that_o charge_n of_o border_v nigh_o unto_o if_o not_o agree_v with_o that_o of_o bellarmine_n who_o affirm_v that_o repentance_n be_v a_o way_n to_o faith_n and_o justification_n in_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n if_o he_o understand_v it_o according_a to_o bellarmine_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o previous_a disposition_n i_o utter_o disclaim_v
