of_o lay_v man_n but_o far_o worse_a for_o we_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o antichristianitie_n heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o we_o receive_v none_o of_o they_o to_o

therefore_o upon_o this_o presumption_n that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o admit_v our_o minister_a of_o sacrament_n but_o also_o the_o lawful_a order_n of_o the_o minister_n for_o the_o same_o if_o

therefore_o that_o the_o christian_a man_n of_o these_o day_n be_v charge_v to_o believe_v any_o other_o church_n than_o that_o which_o teach_v they_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n and_o

lose_v but_o hide_v from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o if_o the_o people_n that_o where_o teach_v that_o article_n to_o believe_v the_o catholic_a church_n and_o be_v baptize_v to_o your_o church_n understand_v that_o this_o church_n be_v not_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o be_v so_o common_o call_v but_o that_o god_n have_v a_o secret_a congregation_n which_o be_v in_o

for_o as_o every_o heretic_n challenge_v unto_o himself_o the_o truth_n of_o opinion_n so_o also_o do_v he_o challenge_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o church_n so_o that_o the_o church_n be_v always_o in_o as_o great_a question_n as_o the_o doctrine_n and_o then_o be_v it_o to_o be_v seek_v out_o and_o try_v only_o by_o the_o scripture_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v at_o large_a in_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o 4._o article_n 2._o demand_n second_o whereas_o you_o demand_n whether_o she_o can_v be_v so_o hide_v or_o close_o that_o no_o man_n can_v find_v she_o because_o i_o have_v answer_v to_o

that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o decay_n of_o god_n spirit_n truth_n and_o church_n and_o i_o recant_v the_o church_n have_v never_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v her_o office_n towards_o her_o child_n
