be_v the_o true_a mark_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o that_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n be_v necessary_a to_o these_o insomuch_o that_o your_o own_o confession_n of_o faith_n tell_v we_o that_o

of_o christ._n you_o see_v then_o from_o the_o declaration_n of_o your_o own_o party_n that_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n be_v require_v to_o the_o due_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o without_o such_o administration_n there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a church_n and_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o due_o baptise_a be_v not_o yet_o a_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n though_o he_o may_v belong_v to_o it_o from_o these_o it_o be_v easy_a if_o one_o will_v imitate_v mr._n b_n way_n of_o reason_v to_o draw_v the_o same_o consequence_n as_o he_o do_v from_o my_o

every_o church_n be_v as_o uncertain_a of_o she_o be_v a_o true_a church_n as_o of_o the_o lawful_a call_v of_o her_o minister_n and_o all_o those_o question_n mr._n b._n start_v concern_v the_o lawful_a call_v of_o minister_n and_o governor_n will_v come_v in_o here_o as_o proper_o as_o he_o bring_v they_o against_o i_o but_o whoever_o shall_v draw_v such_o consequence_n from_o these_o

of_o those_o who_o out_o of_o the_o sincerity_n and_o simplicity_n of_o their_o heart_n receive_v it_o from_o such_o as_o they_o suppose_v lawful_o call_v minister_n but_o be_v not_o neither_o do_v

augustint_n word_n quote_v at_o large_a in_o the_o six_o page_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o mr._n manby_n of_o which_o mr._n b._n never_o take_v any_o notice_n when_o he_o make_v all_o his_o consequence_n
