that_o be_v to_o say_v mere_a fantome_n without_o any_o thing_n of_o reality_n l._n 4._o c._n 34_o &_o 57_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o find_v he_o assert_v lib._n 5._o c._n 33._o that_o what_o jesus_n christ_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o cup_n be_v the_o generation_n or_o product_n of_o the_o vine_n 15._o we_o see_v clear_o from_o what_o eusebius_n have_v preserve_v of_o st._n irenaeus_n that_o the_o variety_n in_o observe_v a_o fast_a before_o easter_n be_v very_o great_a and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o of_o jesus_n christ_n injoin_v it_o every_o one_o use_v it_o according_a to_o his_o own_o free_a will_n and_o devotion_n we_o find_v also_o that_o whatsoever_o respect_n st._n irenaeus_n have_v for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n he_o be_v no_o more_o incline_v to_o be_v lead_v by_o her_o sole_a authority_n than_o st._n polycarp_n be_v who_o he_o much_o commend_v and_o if_o he_o consider_v she_o as_o a_o apostolic_a church_n yet_o he_o never_o attribute_v to_o her_o any_o authority_n over_o the_o other_o flock_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o dissemble_v that_o st._n irenaeus_n seem_v somewhat_o at_o a_o loss_n about_o the_o state_n of_o believer_n after_o death_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o say_v 1._o that_o we_o find_v in_o st._n irenaeus_n a_o abridgement_n of_o the_o faith_n almost_o in_o the_o same_o form_n that_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n as_o it_o be_v call_v 2._o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o all_o the_o opinion_n of_o st._n irenaeus_n about_o the_o state_n of_o soul_n after_o death_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v at_o least_o reject_v as_o many_o article_n as_o we_o do_v yea_o and_o more_o too_o from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v we_o may_v however_o perceive_v what_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o gaul_n a_o little_a after_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o second_o century_n which_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o st._n irenaeus_n live_v and_o flourish_v i_o wish_v i_o can_v produce_v for_o the_o follow_a century_n as_o authentic_a a_o witness_n concern_v the_o state_n of_o
