must_v be_v either_o infallible_a or_o not_o that_o thing_n into_o which_o their_o faith_n can_v beresolved_a for_o albeit_o such_o a_o anappealable_a authority_n may_v in_o some_o sort_n provide_v

with_o for_o want_v of_o that_o pretend_a infallibility_n viz._n that_o man_n be_v so_o leave_v to_o their_o own_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v not_o without_o it_o sufficient_a mean_n for_o peace_n

command_v something_o for_o religious_a worship_n as_o adoration_n of_o sacrament_n or_o image_n that_o must_v needs_o discover_v and_o show_v itself_o in_o outward_a practice_n the_o unappealable_a authority_n can_v secure_v the_o external_a submission_n or_o compliance_n in_o civil_a affair_n indeed_o vnappealable_a authority_n may_v absolute_o require_v external_a submission_n because_o by_o submit_v to_o the_o wrong_a judgement_n or_o sentence_n of_o such_o authority_n the_o thing_n we_o recede_v from_o for_o peace_n sake_n be_v but_o temporal_n and_o in_o our_o own_o power_n to_o
