2._o next_o you_o must_v prove_v out_o of_o express_a scripture_n not_o only_o that_o scripture_n be_v our_o only_a rule_n but_o that_o we_o have_v no_o other_o guide_n to_o find_v out_o the_o sense_n

3._o that_o all_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o all_o protestant_n too_o be_v mistake_v when_o they_o say_v that_o schism_n to_o you_o the_o most_o innocent_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o

that_o all_o general_n council_n that_o presume_v to_o denounce_v anathema_n against_o the_o private_a spirit_n or_o enlighten_v reason_n have_v be_v most_o abhor_a conspiracy_n of_o tyrant_n over_o

have_v no_o quarrel_n against_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n he_o will_v admit_v tradition_n to_o be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o scripture_n only_o his_o controversiehumour_n will_v spend_v itself_o against_o the_o roman_a church_n pretention_n to_o the_o title_n of_o catholic_n and_o will_v maintain_v that_o the_o english_a state_n and_o clergy_n have_v authority_n enough_o to_o reform_v themselves_o without_o consult_v the_o roman_a or_o any_o other_o church_n indeed_o if_o the_o eastern_a church_n have_v still_o be_v in_o union_n with_o
