3._o but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o reform_v and_o special_o to_o the_o reform_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sound_a argument_n to_o convince_v the_o reform_a of_o

do_v argue_v they_o to_o be_v schismatical_a because_o they_o have_v separate_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n answer_v to_o the_o jesuit_n and_o refutation_n of_o their_o argument_n 1._o a_o very_o good_a argument_n indeed_o and_o augustine_n observe_v the_o same_o course_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v

sarah_n abraham_n wife_n who_o in_o the_o difference_n concern_v hagar_n although_o she_o be_v the_o weak_a and_o have_v the_o wrong_n on_o her_o side_n yet_o she_o do_v rise_v against_o abraham_n

arise_v touch_v circumcision_n be_v to_o meet_v in_o council_n for_o to_o consider_v of_o this_o matter_n 2._o which_o be_v a_o commendable_a way_n and_o most_o fit_a to_o compose_v difference_n and_o contention_n when_o some_o be_v happen_v in_o the_o church_n 3._o and_o therefore_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o way_n that_o the_o prince_n and_o supreme_a magistrate_n most_o use_v when_o some_o happen_v in_o the_o church_n of_o his_o state_n and_o dominion_n then_o he_o must_v assemble_v a_o synod_n or_o council_n as_o he_o call_v a_o parliament_n to_o compose_v the_o civil_a difference_n and_o to_o order_v the_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o state_n 4._o so_o do_v the_o apostle_n as_o have_v be_v say_v so_o do_v afterward_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o so_o do_v the_o ancient_a emperor_n who_o do_v desire_v the_o union_n of_o the_o church_n which_o do_v succeed_v very_o well_o unto_o they_o for_o as_o by_o the_o council_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v decide_v and_o compose_v the_o difference_n concern_v circumcision_n and_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n act_v 15._o so_o the_o first_o council_n of_o nice_a do_v condemn_v the_o heretic_n arius_n who_o deny_v the_o
