A09876	A discourse, of the true and visible markes of the Catholique Churche vvritten by M. Theod. Beza. Vezelius; De veris et visibilibus Ecclesiae Catholicae notis. English	Bèze, Théodore de, 1519-1605.; T. W. (Thomas Wilcox), 1549?-1608.	1582 (1582)	STC 2014; ESTC S101560	55,907	134

some_o particular_a church_n may_v err_v even_o in_o some_o chief_a head_n or_o article_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o yet_o it_o cease_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n wherefore_o shall_v not_o a_o man_n say_v the_o same_o of_o all_o particular_a church_n not_o consider_v one_o by_o one_o but_o universal_o for_o this_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n true_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o there_o live_v then_o any_o man_n when_o christ_n rise_v again_o better_a or_o more_o perfect_o instruct_v in_o true_a faith_n than_o those_o twelve_o disciple_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v this_o whole_a congregation_n for_o a_o time_n as_o i_o even_o now_o say_v so_o to_o have_v doubt_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n that_o for_o that_o cause_n as_o luke_n write_v christ_n remain_v with_o they_o forty_o day_n after_o the_o resurrection_n 1.3_o act_n 1.3_o that_o he_o may_v full_o assure_v they_o of_o his_o resurrection_n wherefore_o this_o thing_n we_o conclude_v that_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n aught_o of_o necessity_n to_o remain_v sound_a in_o the_o catholic_a church_n that_o it_o may_v be_v call_v catholic_n but_o there_o may_v some_o time_n fall_v in_o some_o cloud_n special_o through_o the_o negligence_n of_o the_o pastor_n which_o may_v some_o time_n darken_v one_o while_o this_o a_o other_o while_o that_o article_n which_o never_o the_o less_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appear_v straight_a way_n vanish_v away_o therefore_o catholic_n be_v not_o as_o the_o unlearned_a imagine_n always_o and_o with_o out_o exception_n the_o same_o that_o right_a or_o sound_n be_v see_v that_o even_o some_o universal_a error_n may_v continue_v for_o a_o time_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v and_o aught_o much_o more_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o particular_a congregation_n of_o this_o universallitie_n and_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a even_o in_o the_o very_a ground_n of_o our_o religion_n how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o think_v the_o same_o to_o be_v true_a as_o often_o as_o error_n creep_v in_o by_o which_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o overthrow_v and_o this_o be_v the_o stubble_n or_o chaff_n which_o sometime_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v 3.12_o 1._o cor._n 3.12_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o at_o the_o length_n shall_v vanish_v away_o when_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n appear_v but_o this_o day_n show_v itself_o sometime_o soon_o sometime_o late_a so_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v all_o the_o bishop_n of_o africa_n think_v with_o cyprian_a that_o baptism_n administer_v by_o heretic_n be_v of_o no_o force_n which_o thing_n although_o it_o be_v false_a may_v nevertheless_o so_o long_o as_o the_o sum_n of_o faith_n remain_v sound_a and_o unhurt_a be_v wrongful_o teach_v and_o beléeve_v but_o this_o error_n continue_v not_o long_o there_o be_v a_o like_a consideration_n to_o be_v have_v of_o many_o tradition_n which_o for_o that_o cause_n begin_v at_o the_o length_n false_o to_o be_v call_v and_o to_o be_v deem_v apostolical_a because_o that_o be_v once_o confirm_v by_o continual_a use_n they_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v come_v even_o from_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o which_o tradition_n also_o by_o reason_n thereof_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o have_v again_o in_o our_o time_n shine_v forth_o can_v now_o abolish_v with_o out_o very_o great_a contention_n be_v it_o therefore_o far_o from_o any_o to_o think_v that_o for_o such_o manner_n of_o blemish_n some_o congregation_n shall_v be_v think_v not_o to_o belong_v to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n canker_n that_o blemish_n at_o the_o first_o sometime_o tolerable_a cease_v to_o be_v blemish_n and_o grow_v to_o be_v canker_n although_o godly_a and_o diligent_a pastor_n shall_v give_v very_o great_a diligence_n that_o these_o spot_v also_o shall_v be_v wipe_v away_o with_o the_o sponge_n of_o god_n word_n but_o this_o thing_n first_o of_o all_o must_v here_o be_v mark_v that_o these_o blemish_n and_o as_o it_o be_v bile_n or_o swell_n do_v some_o time_n so_o far_o increase_v that_o they_o grow_v to_o a_o canker_n and_o that_o they_o pull_v away_o the_o very_a member_n from_o the_o body_n which_o thing_n the_o most_o shameful_a example_n both_o of_o ancient_a time_n and_o also_o of_o our_o time_n declare_v to_o
