stand_v by_o and_o look_v on_o but_o we_o must_v absolute_o engage_v on_o one_o side_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o desperate_a shift_n of_o such_o protestant_n as_o think_v that_o because_o they_o see_v not_o a_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o the_o church_n infallibility_n in_o the_o severe_a importance_n of_o that_o word_n they_o may_v therefore_o safe_o continue_v in_o their_o schism_n

as_o protestant_n do_v and_o will_v persist_v in_o a_o wilful_a mistake_n of_o its_o sense_n and_o notion_n and_o that_o this_o be_v my_o meaning_n and_o no_o thought_n of_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o word_n infallibility_n itself_o which_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v as_o fit_v a_o word_n to_o express_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n by_o as_o can_v be_v find_v in_o one_o single_a

to_o say_v for_o themselves_o when_o they_o be_v press_v unnecessary_o with_o it_o and_o the_o occasion_n of_o their_o mistake_n it_o not_o take_v away_o for_o they_o will_v run_v into_o endless_a

they_o be_v when_o they_o be_v invite_v to_o combat_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o infallibility_n so_o that_o that_o notion_n be_v first_o clear_v and_o warn_v

that_o be_v that_o infallibility_n be_v a_o unfortunate_a word_n not_o to_o i_o only_o but_o to_o mr._n chillingworth_n likewise_o and_o to_o my_o lord_n falkland_n and_o to_o i._o p._n himself_o and_o indeed_o to_o all_o protestant_n since_o they_o will_v needs_o to_o their_o own_o great_a disadvantage_n make_v advantage_n of_o it_o to_o embroil_v controversy_n to_o multiply_v objection_n
