answer_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o true_a church_n at_o rome_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n but_o that_o the_o church_n now_o at_o rome_n be_v therefore_o the_o true_a church_n that_o do_v not_o follow_v for_o as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v far_o different_a both_o in_o discipline_n and_o practice_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o now_o be_v but_o then_o a.s._n say_v if_o the_o roman_a pontificial_a do_v fall_v what_o church_n do_v she_o fall_v from_o if_o she_o do_v fail_v when_o &_o c_o i_o answer_v paul_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n speak_v of_o some_o who_o when_o they_o know_v god_n do_v not_o glorify_v he_o as_o god_n but_o become_v vain_a in_o their_o imagination_n and_o change_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o incorruptible_a god_n into_o a_o image_n make_v like_a to_o corruptible_a man_n and_o so_o not_o like_v to_o retain_v god_n in_o their_o knowledge_n god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n and_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o unrighteousness_n fornication_n and_o wickedness_n covetousness_n envy_n murder_n etc._n etc._n rom._n 1.21.23.28_o 29._o and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o very_a state_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o this_o day_n be_v she_o not_o now_o fill_v with_o these_o thing_n sure_o yes_o thousand_o of_o thousand_o must_v acknowledge_v it_o if_o they_o consider_v it_o and_o speak_v the_o truth_n oh_o the_o murder_n act_v by_o she_o and_o the_o blood_n she_o have_v drink_v as_o before_o

be_v indeed_o fall_v and_o deep_o revolt_v from_o that_o pure_a spirit_n in_o which_o the_o true_a church_n stand_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n thence_o she_o be_v fall_v and_o the_o time_n when_o she_o fall_v be_v when_o she_o begin_v to_o enter_v into_o these_o aforesaid_a abomination_n that_o be_v now_o find_v in_o she_o well_o 2._o but_o then_o a.s._n say_v that_o if_o the_o true_a church_n be_v infallible_a she_o must_v have_v always_o remain_v without_o interruption_n since_o christ_n time_n to_o this_o day_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v although_o the_o true_a church_n be_v infallible_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o absolute_o follow_v that_o she_o must_v have_v always_o remain_v without_o interruption_n unto_o this_o day_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o true_a church_n be_v interrupt_v by_o the_o dragon_n and_o be_v persecute_v into_o the_o wilderness_n but_o she_o do_v not_o fail_v but_o remain_v there_o and_o have_v a_o be_v there_o a_o place_n prepare_v of_o god_n for_o she_o concern_v which_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v more_o full_o short_o 3._o but_o a.s._n say_v that_o no_o other_o church_n on_o earth_n have_v remain_v unto_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n beside_o the_o roman_a pontificial_a and_o therefore_o she_o be_v the_o true_a church_n i_o answer_v no_o she_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o whore_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o true_a church_n be_v interrupt_v and_o yet_o remain_v 4._o but_o than_o say_v a.s._n if_o any_o can_v say_v that_o there_o have_v remain_v any_o other_o church_n on_o earth_n since_o christ_n time_n unto_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n and_o error_n let_v he_o tell_v what_o be_v she_o or_o what_o be_v she_o where_o be_v she_o or_o

then_o say_v he_o to_o these_o and_o such_o like_a interrogatory_n all_o the_o schismatic_n sectary_n and_o heretic_n in_o the_o world_n can_v answer_v answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v although_o all_o the_o sectary_n in_o the_o world_n can_v answer_v those_o question_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n not_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o can_v answer_v they_o and_o first_o i_o say_v there_o have_v remain_v another_o church_n since_o christ_n time_n to_o this_o day_n beside_o the_o roman_a pontificial_a tha●_n now_o be_v though_o not_o without_o interruption_n yet_o the_o true_a church_n as_o before_o prove_v be_v interrupt_v and_o as_o to_o those_o question_n viz._n what_o be_v she_o or_o what_o be_v she_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v she_o be_v in_o john_n day_n a_o wonder_n in_o heaven_n a_o woman_n clothe_v

unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o do_v the_o apostle_n then_o what_o need_v then_o be_v there_o of_o erect_v academy_n for_o people_n can_v attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o natural_a learning_n 1_o cor._n 1.21_o nor_o thereby_o be_v make_v true_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o i_o be_o not_o against_o have_v a_o outward_a school_n house_n or_o some_o convenient_a place_n for_o the_o educate_v or_o bring_v up_o of_o child_n in_o natural_a learning_n which_o be_v good_a in_o its_o place_n but_o that_o any_o can_v thereby_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n or_o make_v true_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o i_o can_v own_v neither_o be_v this_o way_n of_o make_v minister_n by_o natural_a learning_n or_o set_v of_o they_o up_o by_o man_n in_o be_v until_o people_n have_v forsake_v the_o right_a way_n and_o go_v into_o cain_n way_n and_o balaam_n and_o then_o the_o envy_n and_o murder_n begin_v among_o the_o profess_a christian_n and_o then_o they_o can_v not_o endure_v sound_a doctrine_n but_o heap_v up_o to_o themselves_o teacher_n according_a to_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n who_o know_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o know_v natural_o as_o bruit_v beast_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n paul_n foresee_v and_o write_v of_o to_o timothy_n 2_o tim._n 4.3_o and_o peter_n prophesy_v of_o they_o also_o 2_o pet._n 2._o and_o john_n and_o judas_n see_v they_o come_v 1_o john_n 2.18_o judas_n 10.11_o so_o that_o by_o natural_a learning_n and_o ordination_n of_o man_n no_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n be_v ever_o make_v or_o send_v forth_o but_o contrariwise_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v make_v a_o minister_n viz._n not_o of_o man_n nor_o by_o man_n nor_o yet_o by_o natural_a learning_n but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n gal._n 1.1_o so_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n they_o do_v erect_v academy_n or_o that_o they_o have_v any_o need_n of_o they_o and_o indeed_o i_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o ignorant_a question_n to_o be_v propose_v by_o a._n s._n upon_o this_o account_n but_o to_o his_o next_o query_n viz._n what_o church_n and_o monastery_n do_v she_o build_v answ_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v as_o ignorant_a a_o question_n as_o the_o former_a and_o great_a

holy_a faith_n judas_n 20._o and_o as_o for_o monastery_n or_o monk_n house_n we_o hear_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n neither_o do_v we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o they_o for_o we_o do_v not_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o ever_o the_o true_a church_n in_o any_o generation_n build_v such_o place_n but_o we_o know_v that_o many_o such_o place_n have_v be_v erect_v and_o build_v within_o the_o border_n of_o the_o great_a city_n babylon_n since_o the_o apostasy_n begin_v and_o since_o the_o right_a way_n be_v

determine_v to_o throw_v down_o and_o when_o the_o desolation_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n come_v and_o the_o seven_o mountain_n upon_o which_o the_o whore_n sit_v come_v to_o be_v lay_v waste_n according_a as_o have_v be_v prophesy_v in_o age_n past_a isa_n 42.15_o and_o when_o the_o great_a whore_n come_v to_o drink_v the_o cup_n of_o god_n fury_n which_o be_v already_o fill_v into_o the_o

another_o clear_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n to_o try_v all_o church_n by_o the_o true_a catechism_n and_o see_v which_o of_o they_o all_o say_v it_o true_o believe_v

to_o the_o principle_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v indeed_o a_o way_n that_o i_o do_v very_o well_o approve_v of_o and_o if_o all_o

without_o interruption_n a●_n a.s._n say_v she_o have_v than_o she_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n be_v interrupt_v since_o the_o resurrection_n and_o
