A17261	Truth and falshood, or, A comparison betweene the truth now taught in England, and the doctrine of the Romish church: with a briefe confutation of that popish doctrine. Hereunto is added an answere to such reasons as the popish recusants alledge, why they will not come to our churches.

thing_n yet_o master_n bellarmine_n will_v not_o think_v it_o sufficient_a that_o a_o bishop_n shall_v be_v chaste_a because_o he_o know_v that_o saint_n augustine_n and_o other_o of_o the_o father_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v chastity_n in_o marriage_n but_o he_o will_v doubtless_o spy_v some_o great_a virtue_n in_o continency_n then_o in_o chastity_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v a_o

of_o short_a continuance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v but_o a_o abstinence_n for_o a_o time_n and_o chastity_n be_v a_o virtue_n that_o endure_v and_o the_o example_n bring_v by_o master_n bellarmine_n

he_o have_v speak_v of_o a_o bishop_n that_o he_o may_v have_v one_o wife_n lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o permit_v incontinency_n to_o they_o add_v this_o and_o with_o hierom_n agree_v primasius_n
