their_o meaning_n i_o demand_v second_o a_o catalogue_n and_o precise_a number_n of_o the_o fundamental_a error_n in_o faith_n that_o be_v how_o many_o and_o which_o be_v those_o error_n in_o faith_n which_o destroy_v salvation_n for_o what_o help_v it_o a_o christian_n to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v such_o destructive_a and_o damnable_a error_n unless_o he_o know_v whether_o he_o hold_v any_o such_o error_n himself_o or_o no_o and_o how_o can_v he_o ever_o be_v certain_a of_o that_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v ignorant_a which_o be_v fundamental_a error_n which_o not_o if_o this_o catalogue_n be_v refuse_v i_o demand_v at_o least_o some_o evident_a mean_n or_o mark_n to_o distinguish_v error_n in_o faith_n destructive_a of_o salvation_n or_o damnable_a from_o other_o consistent_a with_o salvation_n or_o venial_a which_o be_v neither_o to_o deny_v any_o of_o the_o article_n contain_v in_o the_o three_o creed_n as_o some_o protestant_n have_v think_v for_o one_o

error_n unless_o they_o affirm_v the_o grecian_a church_n to_o err_v fundamental_o and_o so_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v quite_o against_o the_o say_a protestant_n see_v they_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a nor_o be_v the_o creed_n of_o the_o apostle_n alone_o a_o sufficient_a rule_n to_o determine_v full_o which_o be_v fundamental_a point_n which_o not_o both_o because_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o it_o which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o lightness_n of_o the_o matter_n they_o contain_v come_v not_o by_o far_o so_o near_o the_o radical_a and_o

of_o all_o that_o be_v true_a scripture_n from_o which_o only_o they_o say_v the_o true_a point_n of_o faith_n be_v draw_v must_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o so_o a_o fundamental_a point_n
