discourse_n we_o inquire_v after_o these_o two_o question_n 1_o whether_o the_o present_a romish_a church_n be_v the_o true_a church_n or_o not_o 2_o whether_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o present_a romish_a faith_n can_v be_v save_v or_o not_o these_o two_o do_v mutual_o imply_v each_o other_o so_o as_o we_o may_v true_o say_v if_o she_o be_v a_o church_n then_o be_v there_o salvation_n in_o she_o if_o salvation_n than_o a_o church_n and_o contrariwise_o wherefore_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o confirm_v the_o latter_a the_o party_n to_o the_o present_a disputation_n be_v our_o church_n and_o all_o her_o true_a and_o lawful_a child_n upon_o the_o one_o part_n and_o two_o of_o her_o unnatutall_a child_n make_v the_o other_o part_n which_o of_o they_o have_v the_o truth_n i_o hope_v by_o god_n grace_n open_o to_o discover_v before_o we_o end_v this_o treatise_n our_o church_n hold_v the_o negative_a in_o the_o first_o question_n and_o have_v set_v her_o sentence_n down_o in_o the_o second_o homily_n for_o whitsuntide_n in_o these_o word_n 1_o the_o state_n of_o the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v so_o far_o wide_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o true_a church_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o 2_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o their_o adherent_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n 3_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o at_o rome_n the_o first_o and_o second_o of_o the_o allege_a sentence_n be_v express_o find_v bare_o set_v down_o as_o i_o have_v allege_v they_o and_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o let_v we_o know_v the_o faith_n of_o our_o church_n in_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n the_o three_o be_v necessary_o employ_v by_o our_o church_n at_o these_o word_n if_o it_o be_v poss●ble_a for_o god_n spirit_n to_o be_v there_o where_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o then_o be_v it_o at_o rome_n in_o this_o latter_a sentence_n our_o church_n presume_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o at_o rome_n otherwise_o the_o inference_n will_v be_v fond_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o indeed_o the_o disputation_n in_o that_o place_n be_v frame_v according_a to_o art_n stand_v thus_o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v there_o be_v the_o true_a church_n but_o at_o rome_n there_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o at_o rome_n the_o proposition_n be_v pursue_v after_o the_o word_n last_o allege_v the_o assumption_n be_v confirm_v by_o argument_n go_v before_o thus_o our_o church_n by_o repeat_v the_o same_o conclusion_n often_o show_v we_o how_o serious_a she_o be_v in_o the_o matter_n and_o by_o often_o vary_v her_o manner_n of_o speak_v we_o clear_o understand_v her_o meaning_n the_o foresay_a two_o opponent_n do_v hold_v the_o affirmative_a against_o our_o church_n namely_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o she_o be_v at_o this_o present_a be_v a_o true_a church_n as_o page_n 30_o in_o the_o one_o and_z page_z 18._o in_o the_o other_o before_o we_o enter_v upon_o the_o discussion_n hereof_o we_o must_v first_o understand_v the_o term_n wherein_o this_o question_n be_v deliver_v by_o romish_a church_n we_o mean_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o their_o adherent_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o such_o both_o clergy_n and_o laiety_n which_o live_v in_o the_o romish_a religion_n and_o communicate_v in_o her_o faith_n and_o make_v up_o one_o society_n or_o body_n by_o true_a church_n we_o understand_v a_o society_n or_o congregation_n which_o have_v these_o essential_a quality_n that_o concur_v unto_o the_o being_n and_o form_n of_o a_o church_n and_o herein_o all_o side_n agree_v as_o the_o reader_n may_v find_v in_o the_o homily_n allege_v and_o in_o both_o our_o opponent_n in_o page_n 13_o of_o the_o one_o and_o page_n 15_o 17._o and_o 100_o of_o the_o other_o we_o must_v also_o further_o know_v that_o the_o r●mish_a faith_n consist_v either_o in_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o their_o learned_a or_o in_o the_o decree_n of_o their_o counsel_n or_o in_o both_o the_o first_o be_v their_o catholic_n the_o second_o be_v their_o divine_a faith_n so_o as_o he_o that_o profess_v their_o religion_n and_o communicate_v in_o their_o faith_n believe_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a hitherto_o i_o have_v allege_v the_o homily_n as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n and_o i_o presume_v none_o will_v reprove_v i_o for_o it_o because_o all_o that_o book_n be_v solemn_o confirm_v as_o such_o by_o our_o state_n it_o be_v to_o be_v read_v in_o all_o our_o church_n by_o public_a appointment_n and_o be_v subscribe_v unto_o by_o all_o our_o minister_n as_o contain_v doctrine_n godly_a wholesome_a and_o necessary_a i_o say_v it_o be_v so_o subscribe_v unto_o because_o the_o 36_o canon_n require_v that_o no_o person_n shall_v be_v receive_v into_o the_o ministry_n nor_o suffer_v to_o exercise_v any_o part_n of_o the_o ministerial_a function_n in_o any_o place_n within_o this_o realm_n except_o he_o shall_v first_o subscribe_v among_o other_o thing_n unto_o the_o 39_o article_n of_o religion_n agree_v upon_o by_o the_o whole_a clergy_n anno_fw-la 1562._o now_o the_o 36_o canon_n in_o command_a subscription_n to_o the_o say_v 39_o article_n do_v also_o consequent_o command_v subscription_n to_o the_o book_n of_o homily_n because_o the_o 35_o article_n do_v no_o more_o but_o ratify_v &_o confirm_v the_o former_a and_o second_o book_n of_o homily_n now_o if_o the_o present_a homily_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n than_o the_o sentence_n allege_v out_o of_o the_o same_o can_v be_v no_o less_o for_o they_o be_v such_o a_o main_a and_o principal_a part_n thereof_o that_o the_o homily_n can_v subsist_v without_o they_o and_o thus_o i_o hope_v every_o reader_n have_v direction_n enough_o touch_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n and_o the_o party_n to_o the_o disputation_n chap._n 2._o of_o our_o first_o argument_n for_o the_o main_a question_n and_o of_o their_o general_a answer_n thereunto_o our_o church_n in_o the_o homily_n already_o recite_v have_v a_o argument_n express_o thus_o the_o true_a church_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v the_o head_n corner_n stone_n but_o the_o present_a romish_a church_n be_v not_o build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n for_o they_o retain_v not_o the_o sound_n and_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n
