we_o to_o follow_v they_o do_v demolish_v the_o fence_n and_o bullwarcke_n of_o the_o same_o christianity_n and_o good_a life_n but_o all_o they_o who_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o heretic_n do_v agree_v to_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n with_o corruption_n and_o adultery_n and_o do_v deny_v in_o she_o both_o infallibility_n to_o know_v christ_n doctrine_n and_o power_n to_o govern_v and_o consequent_o they_o destroy_v external_a unity_n and_o the_o essence_n of_o it_o which_o as_o it_o be_v not_o formal_o to_o ruin_v good_a life_n so_o it_o be_v more_o than_o to_o break_v down_o her_o outwork_n since_o it_o entrench_v upon_o the_o very_a substance_n in_o common_a and_o leave_v no_o mean_n but_o mere_a chance_n and_o hazard_n to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n law_n and_o consequent_o to_o eternal_a salvation_n whence_o we_o may_v understand_v what_o this_o name_n popery_n signyfy_v to_o wit_n a_o affection_n or_o resolution_n to_o maintain_v faith_n and_o good_a life_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o conserve_n they_o there_o be_v divers_a other_o point_n controvert_v between_o catholic_n and_o sectary_n but_o they_o be_v such_o as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n require_v no_o explication_n but_o a_o flat_a denial_n as_o when_o they_o accuse_v we_o to_o have_v deprive_v the_o laity_n of_o half_a the_o communion_n we_o deny_v it_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o christian_n have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n to_o give_v the_o sacrament_n sometime_o in_o one_o kind_n sometimes_o in_o both_o the_o church_n have_v always_o believe_v that_o the_o entire_a communion_n be_v perfect_o administer_v in_o either_o we_o likewise_o deny_v that_o ever_o the_o church_n hold_v the_o necessity_n of_o communicate_v infant_n the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n that_o indulgence_n can_v draw_v soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n that_o prayer_n ought_v of_o necessity_n be_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n to_o though_o we_o may_v think_v

or_o the_o art_n of_o discourse_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n between_o those_o who_o profess_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v complete_a unless_o as_o aristotle_n make_v a_o book_n of_o fallacy_n to_o avoid_v cavil_v in_o his_o organ_n or_o instrument_n of_o science_n so_o we_o also_o discover_v the_o common_a fallacy_n use_v in_o controversy_n not_o all_o but_o the_o chief_a and_o most_o ordinary_o in_o this_o business_n this_o then_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o my_o present_a work_n for_o which_o the_o first_o note_n i_o make_v be_v that_o ower_z ancient_n have_v teach_v we_o

it_o be_v falsehood_n game_n to_o vest_n itself_o like_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n in_o the_o skin_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o to_o seem_v to_o wear_v the_o robe_n of_o truth_n i_o mean_v by_o word_n like_o those_o of_o the_o catholic_n party_n to_o delude_v the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o welwishing_a people_n and_o now_o must_v it_o be_v our_o theme_n to_o unveil_v their_o shuffle_n the_o first_o shuffle_v of_o the_o word_n scripture_n and_o first_o if_o we_o ask_v they_o what_o they_o rely_v upon_o they_o brag_o answer_v on_o god_n word_n upbraid_v catholic_n to_o
