that_o be_v if_o she_o proceed_v as_o a_o church_n if_o he_o wonder_v at_o this_o i_o shall_v increase_v his_o admiration_n by_o let_v he_o know_v my_o mind_n that_o i_o see_v it_o not_o possible_a how_o even_o the_o pretend_a protestant_n church_n of_o england_n can_v it_o without_o self_n condemnation_n have_v own_v the_o immediate_a delivery_n of_o fore_a father_n and_o only_o proceed_v &_o

now_o and_o the_o child_n without_o look_v far_o believe_v their_o father_n and_o teach_v their_o child_n as_o they_o believe_v and_o so_o successive_o it_o follow_v in_o term_n that_o the_o posterity_n remote_a a_o thousand_o generation_n will_v still_o believe_v as_o their_o father_n do_v now_o but_o as_o their_o religion_n build_v on_o reformation_n that_o be_v not_o immediate_a tradition_n will_v not_o let_v they_o own_o immediate_a tradition_n for_o their_o rule_n of_o faith_n so_o neither_o do_v they_o own_v it_o can_v their_o certainty_n arrive_v to_o that_o of_o our_o church_n strengthen_v by_o so_o many_o superadd_v assistance_n his_o second_o principle_n be_v that_o all_o error_n be_v not_o essential_a or_o fundamental_a i_o answer_v that_o if_o by_o error_n he_o

all_o one_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v error_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n than_o every_o such_o error_n be_v fundamental_a and_o to_o answer_v this_o three_o principle_n with_o the_o same_o labour_n

only_a rule_n of_o faith_n this_o be_v a_o flat_a contradiction_n again_o since_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v both_o certain_a and_o plain_a without_o which_o property_n be_v no_o rule_n it_o follow_v that_o a_o error_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n argue_v a_o erroneousnes_n in_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n which_o essential_o and_o fundamental_o concern_v the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n
