p._n 44._o now_o this_o i_o can_v but_o say_v be_v not_o only_o extreme_o false_a but_o likewise_o a_o very_a scandalous_a suggestion_n because_o it_o must_v not_o only_o affect_v our_o own_o time_n and_o nation_n but_o likewise_o bring_v all_o other_o church_n ancient_a and_o modern_a eastern_a and_o western_a roman_n and_o reform_v under_o the_o same_o suspicion_n for_o all_o these_o be_v at_o perfect_a agreement_n both_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o express_v their_o faith_n which_o be_v by_o the_o profession_n of_o three_o person_n and_o one_o nature_n or_o substance_n so_o that_o if_o by_o retain_v the_o old_a word_n there_o be_v danger_n of_o lose_v the_o catholic_n faith_n it_o must_v be_v lose_v out_o of_o the_o

to_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o as_o to_o what_o may_v concern_v this_o church_n i_o believe_v if_o all_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n in_o it_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v any_o danger_n it_o be_v from_o another_o quarter_n i_o mean_v from_o the_o revival_n of_o the_o heresy_n of_o arius_n pelagius_n and_o socinus_n which_o some_o evil_a man_n with_o great_a industry_n and_o with_o no_o small_a
