this_o church_n though_o he_o may_v look_v on_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o part_v of_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o reason_n i_o give_v against_o it_o be_v that_o every_o true_a member_n of_o this_o church_n must_v own_v the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o contain_v in_o the_o article_n and_o homily_n which_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o such_o error_n and_o unlawful_a practice_n as_o no_o man_n who_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v such_o can_v continue_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o that_o church_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v believe_v a_o necessity_n of_o the_o forsake_v of_o one_o

what_o a_o talon_n he_o have_v at_o ergoteer_v if_o this_o be_v true_a say_v he_o then_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n one_o must_v assert_v that_o either_o both_o church_n be_v not_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n or_o that_o they_o be_v so_o part_n that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o go_v from_o one_o to_o another_o he_o will_v be_v a_o strange_a member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o shall_v hold_v that_o both_o church_n be_v not_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n for_o than_o he_o must_v deny_v that_o part_n be_v part_n for_o eu●ry_o true_a church_n be_v so_o far_o a_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n therefore_o i_o say_v he_o must_v hold_v though_o it_o be_v in_o some_o respect_v a_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n yet_o it_o may_v have_v so_o many_o error_n and_o corruption_n mix_v with_o it_o as_o may_v make_v it_o necessary_a for_o salvation_n to_o leave_v it_o the_o second_o he_o say_v be_v nonsense_n how_o nonsense_n he_o do_v well_o to_o hope_v that_o man_n may_v be_v save_v that_o do_v not_o understand_v controversy_n nor_o approach_v heaven_n in_o mood_n and_o figure_n a_o necessity_n of_o a_o change_n say_v he_o consist_v not_o with_o their_o be_v part_n for_o part_n constitute_v one_o whole_a and_o leave_v not_o one_o and_o another_o to_o go_v to_o or_o from_o we_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o part_n leave_v one_o another_o but_o of_o a_o person_n leave_v one_o part_n to_o go_v to_o another_o suppose_v a_o pestilential_a disease_n rage_n in_o one_o part_n of_o the_o city_n and_o not_o in_o

to_o the_o other_o but_o he_o say_v with_o great_a assurance_n that_o necessity_n of_o change_n make_v it_o absolute_o impossible_a for_o both_o church_n to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_n which_o plain_o show_v he_o never_o understand_v the_o term_n of_o communion_n with_o both_o church_n for_o no_o church_n in_o the_o world_n can_v lay_v on_o obligation_n upon_o a_o man_n to_o be_v dishonest_a i._n e._n to_o profess_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o do_v another_o which_o be_v dissimulation_n and_o hypocrisy_n and_o no_o church_n can_v oblige_v a_o man_n to_o believe_v what_o be_v false_a or_o to_o do_v what_o be_v unlawful_a and_o rather_o than_o do_v either_o he_o must_v forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o that_o church_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a taste_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o reason_v of_o this_o gentleman_n as_o to_o the_o main_a design_n of_o the_o three_o paper_n i_o declare_v that_o i_o consider_v it_o as_o it_o be_v suppose_v to_o
a_o usurpation_n as_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n be_v and_o the_o main_a point_n in_o order_n to_o a_o reformation_n be_v cast_v off_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o a_o encroachment_n upon_o the_o ancient_n and_o canonical_a privilege_n of_o the_o western_a church_n which_o be_v do_v here_o by_o a_o general_n consent_n even_o of_o those_o bishop_n who_o hold_v in_o communion_n with_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o far_o as_o those_o can_v do_v who_o reject_v the_o head_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o fundamental_a point_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o schism_n if_o the_o pope_n as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n do_v influence_n catholic_n communion_n so_o far_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o live_v in_o subjection_n to_o he_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o justify_v separation_n from_o that_o body_n whereof_o he_o be_v the_o visible_a head._n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n no_o council_n no_o universal_a tradition_n for_o this_o as_o the_o roman_n catholic_n bishop_n here_o declare_v in_o the_o time_n of_o h._n 8._o then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o schism_n in_o act_v without_o authority_n from_o he_o or_o against_o his_o authority_n and_o whether_o any_o other_o church_n join_v with_o we_o or_o not_o be_v no_o more_o material_a to_o the_o justification_n of_o the_o reformation_n than_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o any_o one_o county_n act_v for_o the_o royal_a family_n in_o the_o late_a time_n of_o usurpation_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o concurrence_n of_o other_o with_o it_o what_o more_o common_o talk_v of_o and_o magnify_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o monastic_a order_n and_o some_o of_o the_o person●_n have_v be_v canonize_v who_o have_v do_v it_o but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o governor_n of_o a_o monastic_a order_n proceed_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o order_n do_v a_o very_a justifiable_a thing_n though_o never_o another_o monastery_n join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o because_o he_o only_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o proceed_v by_o the_o rule_n which_o be_v receive_v by_o the_o whole_a order_n this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o reform_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o if_o other_o join_v so_o much_o the_o better_o if_o not_o the_o act_n justify_v itself_o and_o need_v not_o the_o concurrence_n of_o other_o to_o make_v it_o good_a 2._o the_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o voluntary_a separation_n and_o that_o which_o be_v unavoidable_a in_o case_n unreasonable_a condition_n of_o communion_n be_v require_v the_o defender_n pretend_v he_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n understand_v this_o unavoidable_a 39_o separation_n because_o though_o man_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o a_o church_n yet_o they_o may_v continue_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n if_o they_o please_v but_o if_o they_o have_v another_o faith_n they_o separate_v themselves_o even_o suppose_v usurpation_n or_o whatever_o i_o will_v have_v now_o this_o seem_v very_o strange_a to_o i_o from_o a_o person_n who_o know_v the_o term_n of_o

etc._n etc._n be_v he_o not_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o that_o church_n require_v to_o believe_v all_o that_o the_o roman_a church_n believe_v but_o suppose_v man_n do_v not_o and_o can_v for_o their_o heart_n believe_v as_o that_o church_n believe_v can_v they_o notwithstanding_o be_v member_n of_o it_o no_o he_o confess_v a_o different_a faith_n unavoidable_o cast_v they_o out_o but_o then_o to_o believe_v otherwise_o than_o the_o roman_a church_n believe_v cast_v they_o out_o unavoidable_o the_o question_n now_o be_v who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o cast_v out_o those_o who_o can_v believe_v those_o doctrine_n or_o those_o who_o require_v the_o belief_n of_o they_o in_o order_n to_o communion_n if_o these_o doctrine_n be_v evident_a in_o scripture_n or_o be_v define_v by_o the_o four_o general_a council_n or_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o ancient_a creed_n or_o can_v be_v clear_o prove_v by_o universal_a tradition_n than_o we_o confess_v the_o blame_n fall_v on_o those_o

the_o usurper_n voluntary_a impose_v such_o a_o penalty_n on_o those_o who_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v just_a the_o defender_n do_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o make_v such_o term_n of_o
