no_o formal_a proof_n annex_v to_o it_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o prove_v the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o article_n which_o can_v be_v the_o only_a case_n say_v you_o of_o a_o necessity_n of_o reformation_n of_o doctrine_n though_o we_o have_v see_v the_o contrary_a the_o doubtfulness_n of_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o article_n be_v only_o insist_v upon_o and_o whereas_o page_n 6._o after_o put_v into_o form_n their_o second_o argument_n you_o deny_v the_o major_a and_o insist_v on_o that_o only_a according_a to_o your_o frame_v the_o reason_n as_o that_o on_o which_o all_o the_o stress_n lie_v though_o it_o have_v no_o proof_n annex_v to_o it_o as_o you_o frame_v it_o and_o take_v it_o this_o methinks_v sir_n may_v have_v make_v you_o suspect_v that_o you_o apprehend_v they_o not_o aright_o since_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o they_o will_v be_v so_o impertinent_a and_o incoherent_a in_o their_o purpose_n as_o the_o way_n that_o you_o understand_v they_o will_v have_v make_v they_o to_o be_v and_o that_o in_o a_o address_n of_o that_o weight_n to_o no_o less_o and_o mean_a arbiter_n than_o a_o parliament_n of_o

that_o whatsoever_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o 39_o article_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o be_v in_o a_o necessity_n of_o reformation_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doctrine_n not_o contain_v in_o the_o article_n as_o i_o conceive_v say_v you_o they_o will_v confess_v there_o be_v that_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o clear_a from_o
