very_a soul_n for_o that_o the_o conjunction_n be_v so_o near_o between_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o all_o the_o part_n &_o parcel_n thereof_o i_o mean_v particular_a church_n that_o whosoever_o do_v sever_v himself_o from_o any_o of_o these_o branch_n he_o be_v become_v thereby_o no_o branch_n of_o christ_n his_o church_n if_o you_o say_v that_o our_o english_a church_n be_v no_o church_n at_o all_o and_o so_o no_o part_n of_o christ_n his_o church_n and_o therefore_o that_o you_o may_v and_o must_v sever_v yourself_o therefrom_o it_o be_v soon_o say_v but_o hardly_o prove_v my_o good_a brethren_n neither_o can_v you_o ever_o prove_v it_o until_o you_o prove_v that_o this_o church_n maintain_v some_o pernicious_a doctrine_n which_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o faith_n or_o that_o it_o do_v so_o wicked_o abuse_v the_o sacrament_n or_o either_o of_o they_o that_o their_o force_n and_o efficacy_n be_v altogether_o weaken_a and_o become_v of_o no_o validity_n if_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v prove_v then_o may_v you_o peradventure_o justify_v your_o do_n but_o if_o all_o the_o world_n will_v join_v in_o one_o and_o bend_v themselves_o against_o we_o i_o know_v &_o therefore_o i_o speak_v it_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v prove_v no_o not_o by_o all_o the_o world_n be_v you_o not_o therefore_o obstinate_a neither_o hinder_v you_o your_o own_o

unto_o it_o sure_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v unto_o you_o that_o our_o life_n be_v not_o answerable_a unto_o our_o call_n &_o that_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a we_o have_v in_o many_o

of_o christ_n his_o body_n neither_o shall_v you_o doubt_v but_o that_o of_o those_o who_o the_o contagion_n of_o sin_n have_v mighty_o infect_v there_o be_v very_o many_o who_o be_v grieve_v with_o
