rome_n to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n or_o true_o which_o be_v most_o absurd_a that_o christ_n have_v want_v and_o be_v deprive_v of_o his_o spouse_n now_o for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o

by_o the_o property_n of_o the_o same_o now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o peculiar_a office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o true_a church_n many_o reason_n may_v by_o deduce_v out_o of_o these_o but_o we_o will_v brief_o touch_v only_o the_o chief_a 2._o the_o first_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o those_o very_a sign_n which_o our_o adversary_n assign_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o true_a and_o sincere_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lawful_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v indeed_o office_n and_o not_o sign_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o but_o whether_o they_o be_v sign_n or_o office_n by_o they_o it_o be_v evident_o prove_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o no_o other_o be_v the_o true_a church_n

here_o we_o inquire_v after_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o such_o a_o profane_a and_o filthy_a church_n which_o calvin_n describe_v wherein_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v lie_v half_o

the_o which_o our_o adversary_n seem_v to_o establish_v for_o we_o have_v sufficient_o declare_v before_o that_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v always_o visible_a cont_n wherefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o show_v we_o some_o other_o visible_a beside_o the_o roman_a church_n wherein_o for_o a_o thou●and_o year_n past_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v public_o preach_v in_o the_o

we_o say_v somewhat_o of_o the_o ancient_a holy_a father_n and_o of_o their_o write_n both_o because_o they_o be_v in_o time_n past_o the_o chief_a member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o our_o adversary_n as_o also_o because_o in_o the_o particular_a controversy_n we_o shall_v often_o use_v the_o testimony_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a

this_o constant_o that_o the_o ancient_a holy_a father_n receive_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v never_o write_v any_o thing_n with_o a_o common_a and_o unanime_fw-la consent_n that_o be_v

at_o all_o for_o if_o they_o have_v all_o err_v in_o a_o necessary_a point_n of_o salvation_n the_o whole_a ancient_a church_n shall_v also_o have_v err_v cont_n the_o which_o even_o our_o adversary_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v false_a as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o 6._o second_o that_o promise_n of_o christ_n whereby_o he_o assecure_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v always_o present_a with_o his_o

preach_v to_o wit_n the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n 7._o three_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n in_o his_o church_n 14._o as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o we_o may_v continue_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n till_o we_o all_o meet_v with_o christ_n in_o the_o l●st_o

of_o faith_n always_o continue_v and_o in_o this_o manner_n god_n shall_v have_v provide_v very_o bad_o for_o his_o church_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o err_v 8._o final_o if_o all_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v teach_v any_o doctrine_n contrary_a to_o faith_n there_o shall_v no_o sincere_a and_o true_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n remain_v in_o the_o church_n see_v that_o only_a pastor_n and_o doctor_n be_v lawful_o call_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o god_n but_o without_o the_o sincere_a preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a 15._o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n shall_v consist_v as_o even_o our_o adversary_n confess_v and_o as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o 9_o second_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o auncientholy_a father_n as_o out_o of_o most_o faithful_a and_o true_a witness_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o in_o their_o time_n be_v preach_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o our_o adversary_n acknowledge_v that_o in_o their_o time_n the_o true_a and_o sincere_a faith_n of_o christ_n be_v preach_v we_o therefore_o allege_v they_o as_o witness_n of_o that_o faith_n for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o who_o live_v at_o that_o time_n who_o will_v we_o believe_v but_o they_o be_v both_o eye_n witness_n and_o nothing_o suspect_v of_o falsehood_n as_o s._n augustine_n declare_v very_o well_o dispute_v against_o the_o pelagian_n 10._o three_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n ult._n as_o out_o of_o those_o doctor_n who_o write_n have_v be_v receive_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o impugn_v and_o condenne_v those_o writer_n who_o write_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n lest_o their_o write_n may_v be_v hurtful_a to_o the_o future_a church_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o approve_v their_o write_n who_o teach_v the_o true_a faith_n there_o be_v y●t_o extant_a a_o decree_n of_o the_o roman_a council_n papae_fw-la set_v forth_o almost_o a_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o concern_v these_o write_n they_o therefore_o who_o have_v be_v

matter_n of_o faith_n 11._o four_o we_o take_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n as_o out_o of_o the_o most_o holy_a and_o learned_a man_n and_o bless_a saint_n of_o god_n for_o either_o they_o have_v the_o sincere_a true_a faith_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v embrace_v the_o same_o or_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o they_o be_v not_o saint_n of_o god_n nor_o can_v they_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o 6._o as_o the_o apostle_n testify_v 12._o by_o this_o very_a argument_n the_o catholic_n in_o time_n past_a overcome_v the_o arian_n eccles._n for_o they_o urge_v they_o to_o receive_v the_o holy_a father_n who_o write_v before_o arius_n his_o time_n or_o they_o shall_v excommunicate_v they_o as_o socrates_n and_o sozomenus_n do_v testify_v 13._o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n serve_v very_o fit_o those_o word_n of_o s._n augustine_n wherein_o he_o declare_v what_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n concern_v this_o matter_n ult._n for_o thus_o speak_v s._n augustine_n to_o the_o heretic_n of_o his_o time_n while_o he_o urge_v they_o with_o the_o testimony_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n who_o be_v
