it_o viz._n the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n etc._n etc._n as_o erroneous_a too_o now_o though_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o agree_v among_o they_o nor_o ever_o likely_a to_o be_v where_o the_o suppose_a infallibility_n of_o their_o church_n be_v seat_v yet_o since_o all_o manner_n of_o authority_n have_v conspire_v to_o establish_v these_o thing_n pope_n have_v decree_v they_o council_n define_v they_o and_o both_o pope_n and_o council_n anathematise_v all_o those_o that_o shall_v presume_v to_o doubt_v of_o they_o it_o be_v evident_a either_o these_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v the_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a as_o be_v pretend_v or_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o roman_a to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o modern_a phrase_n indeed_o the_o

reason_n they_o can_v press_v we_o with_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o church_n in_o these_o matter_n when_o such_o eminent_a person_n of_o their_o own_o communion_n and_o who_o certain_o be_v much_o more_o oblige_v to_o it_o than_o we_o can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v yet_o do_v not_o esteem_v it_o sufficient_a to_o enslave_v their_o belief_n it_o be_v a_o reproach_n general_o cast_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o set_v up_o a_o private_a spirit_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o think_v ourselves_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v in_o

all_o we_o say_v be_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o act_v rational_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o concern_v to_o employ_v his_o understanding_n with_o the_o utmost_a

therefore_o if_o the_o one_o at_o any_o time_n contradict_v the_o other_o we_o resolve_v as_o be_v most_o fit_a not_o that_o our_o own_o but_o god_n authority_n reveal_v to_o we_o in_o his_o word_n
