and_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o question_n as_o far_o off_o as_o when_o mr._n knutton_n begin_v to_o resolve_v they_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o his_o answer_n so_o that_o the_o truth_n in_o the_o

first_o part_n of_o the_o answer_n nothing_o be_v say_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n except_o it_o be_v in_o way_n of_o denial_n to_o which_o there_o need_v be_v little_a reply_n to_o it_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o answer_n be_v a_o positive_a affirmation_n it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n yea_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n but_o upon_o what_o ground_n proof_n or_o reason_n he_o be_v too_o short_a to_o demonstrate_v they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v give_v as_o positive_a a_o affirmation_n that_o their_o church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n yea_o the_o spouse_n of_o

because_o it_o deny_v all_o visible_a apostolical_a church_n as_o they_o be_v plant_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o primative_a time_n which_o may_v appear_v as_o follow_v first_o it_o grant_v what_o it_o affirm_v may_v be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n thus_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n he_o express_v to_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o a_o church_n be_v there_o the_o matter_n

be_v one_o of_o the_o cause_n that_o have_v this_o property_n it_o be_v passive_a so_o be_v man_n by_o rature_n in_o the_o internal_a and_o real_a work_n of_o grace_n in_o conversion_n so_o be_v it_o with_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o rome_n and_o in_o all_o the_o world_n it_o have_v also_o the_o form_n of_o a_o church_n which_o form_n he_o thus_o explain_v the_o form_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o
