consistent_a with_o the_o romish_a faith_n not_o a_o misrepresentation_n of_o it_o for_o will_v a_o church_n so_o strict_a and_o severe_a in_o its_o discipline_n and_o so_o jealous_a of_o heresy_n which_o censure_v all_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o expunge_n out_o of_o their_o write_n every_o passage_n which_o in_o the_o least_o savour_v of_o heresy_n which_o will_v not_o entrust_v the_o

no_o doctrine_n but_o what_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o that_o church_n as_o all_o those_o doctrine_n be_v which_o be_v allow_v by_o public_a authority_n to_o be_v print_v and_o read_v in_o

must_v not_o indeed_o charge_v all_o papist_n with_o believe_v such_o doctrine_n because_o all_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o decree_n and_o definition_n of_o their_o council_n but_o we_o may_v say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n because_o all_o papist_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v they_o who_o will_v for_o i_o presume_v all_o man_n be_v allow_v to_o believe_v that_o which_o any_o man_n among_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o teach_v however_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v some_o excuse_n to_o the_o

themselves_o say_v and_o resolve_v all_o into_o the_o credit_n and_o authority_n of_o his_o author_n and_o i_o can_v think_v it_o a_o great_a fault_n in_o a_o protestant_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o such_o pernicious_a doctrine_n and_o opinion_n as_o be_v own_v by_o some_o of_o their_o own_o writer_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v publish_v
