that_o i_o mean_v not_o the_o roman_a diocese_n or_o province_n but_o all_o the_o church_n which_o live_v in_o communion_n with_o and_o subjection_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o look_v on_o it_o as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n so_o to_o do_v and_o this_o i_o still_o assert_v to_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o a_o corrupt_a one_o too_o the_o author_n of_o the_o defence_n say_v all_o this_o riddle_n of_o part_n and_o â—_o whole_o come_v from_o my_o inadvertence_n how_o so_o because_o i_o confound_v the_o roman_a diocese_n

be_v the_o one_o catholic_n church_n do_v not_o catholic_n signify_v all_o the_o part_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o but_o i_o say_v it_o do_v not_o when_o roman_a be_v join_v to_o

the_o add_v german_a to_o it_o restrain_v the_o sense_n of_o ocean_n to_o it_o within_o certain_a bound_n and_o exclude_v many_o part_n of_o the_o great_a ocean_n which_o be_v without_o those_o

they_o think_v fit_a with_o such_o indeed_o he_o say_v it_o be_v to_o little_a purpose_n to_o dispute_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o no_o doubt_n he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a for_o the_o rule_n must_v

be_v make_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v must_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n and_o heresy_n be_v a_o obstinate_a oppose_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n there_o can_v be_v no_o heresy_n

and_o in_o this_o case_n there_o may_v be_v a_o erroneous_a opinion_n in_o faith_n without_o heresy_n so_o that_o a_o erroneous_a opinion_n lie_v in_o not_o attend_v to_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o opinion_n as_o against_o faith_n and_o not_o maintain_v it_o obstinate_o but_o he_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o declare_v such_o a_o opinion_n to_o be_v against_o
