unity_n they_o show_v we_o universality_n as_o if_o there_o can_v not_o be_v unity_n in_o universality_n i_o wish_v this_o author_n will_v first_o learn_v grammar_n and_o logic_n or_o which_o i_o

and_o here_o the_o answerer_n spend_v several_a page_n in_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n must_v be_v one_o which_o no_o body_n that_o i_o know_v of_o deny_v and_o which_o he_o may_v find_v true_o state_v in_o answer_n to_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n seven_o note_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o discourser_n who_o be_v not_o concern_v to_o state_n this_o point_n he_o give_v such_o a_o definition_n of_o a_o church_n as_o belong_v to_o all_o true_a particular_a church_n as_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v who_o give_v the_o definition_n of_o a_o church_n for_o a_o particular_a church_n have_v the_o entire_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o a_o church_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a definition_n of_o a_o church_n but_o what_o belong_v to_o a_o particular_a church_n he_o say_v indeed_o that_o the_o universal_a church_n consist_v of_o all_o true_a particular_a church_n and_o so_o most_o certain_o it_o do_v no_o say_v the_o answerer_n all_o particular_a church_n be_v not_o at_o unity_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v the_o one_o catholic_n or_o universal_a church_n but_o suppose_v this_o be_v there_o any_o other_o notion_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o that_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o all_o true_a particular_a church_n which_o be_v all_o that_o the_o discourser_n assert_v without_o consider_v how_o all_o particular_a church_n must_v be_v unite_v to_o make_v the_o one_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v nothing_o to_o his_o purpose_n in_o such_o a_o divide_a state_n of_o christendom_n as_o this_o mere_a external_a unity_n and_o communion_n can_v be_v the_o mark_n of_o a_o true_a church_n because_o all_o church_n be_v divide_v from_o each_o other_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o unity_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n no_o more_o be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o unity_n with_o we_o and_o if_o mere_a unity_n be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n neither_o part_n of_o the_o division_n can_v pretend_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o either_o some_o church_n may_v be_v true_a church_n which_o be_v not_o at_o unity_n with_o all_o other_o or_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n in_o the_o world._n and_o therefore_o though_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n make_v unity_n the_o mark_n of_o a_o true_a church_n yet_o not_o the_o unity_n of_o all_o church_n with_o each_o other_o for_o he_o know_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o his_o day_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o fear_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v again_o in_o haste_n but_o the_o unity_n of_o church_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n who_o be_v the_o visible_a head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o thus_o the_o catholic_n church_n signify_v all_o those_o church_n which_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o the_o centre_n of_o unity_n but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o unity_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v nothing_o of_o and_o which_o protestant_n disow_v and_o which_o this_o answerer_n have_v not_o say_v one_o word_n to_o prove_v for_o this_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o subjection_n not_o the_o unity_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n so_o vehement_o press_v we_o to_o now_o if_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o subjection_n to_o a_o visible_a head_n and_o all_o other_o external_a communion_n be_v break_v and_o divide_v we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o to_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o make_v a_o particular_a national_a church_n a_o true_a sound_a and_o pure_a church_n for_o whatever_o division_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n every_o true_a

both_o as_o in_o such_o a_o divide_a state_n of_o christendom_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o hope_n he_o will._n but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o our_o author_n say_v be_v the_o catholic_n church_n it_o be_v only_o a_o comprehension_n of_o all_o those_o church_n which_o keep_v to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o persist_v in_o their_o first_o undivided_a estate_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o universal_a peace_n by_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n i_o hope_v he_o mean_v that_o one_o faith_n in_o which_o as_o he_o tell_v we_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n plant_v the_o church_n and_o then_o i_o doubt_v this_o will_v fall_v hard_a upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o reject_v all_o other_o church_n who_o do_v retain_v this_o one_o apostolic_a faith_n if_o they_o disow_v the_o new_a article_n of_o the_o trent_n creed_n and_o the_o first_o undivided_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n be_v settle_v in_o a_o equality_n and_o brotherly_n association_n of_o bishop_n and_o church_n not_o in_o the_o empire_n of_o one_o over_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o then_o this_o be_v more_o severe_a upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o protestant_n desire_n for_o she_o have_v destroy_v this_o first_o undivided_a state_n by_o challenge_v such_o a_o supremacy_n as_o enslave_v all_o other_o church_n to_o she_o and_o therefore_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o one_o catholic_n church_n that_o if_o this_o definition_n be_v true_a she_o be_v no_o part_n of_o it_o and_o as_o for_o the_o bond_n of_o universal_a peace_n what_o claim_v she_o can_v lay_v to_o that_o let_v the_o cruel_a persecution_n of_o those_o innocent_a christian_n who_o she_o call_v heretic_n the_o excommunication_n of_o whole_a church_n the_o depose_n of_o prince_n and_o all_o the_o blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v in_o christendom_n under_o the_o banner_n of_o holy_a church_n witness_n for_o she_o and_o thus_o we_o come_v to_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o note_n or_o mark_v which_o he_o say_v be_v clear_a by_o its_o definition_n page_n 3._o and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v give_v we_o such_o a_o definition_n as_o be_v self-evident_a or_o which_o all_o mankind_n agree_v in_o for_o a_o definition_n which_o the_o contend_a party_n do_v not_o agree_v in_o can_v clear_v nothing_o let_v we_o then_o hear_v his_o definition_n that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o sensible_a appearance_n in_o or_o about_o the_o subject_n inquire_v after_o whereby_o we_o be_v lead_v towards_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o present_a existence_n or_o essence_n of_o the_o say_v subject_a and_o from_o hence_o he_o conclude_v it_o be_v manifest_a then_o that_o a_o note_n of_o a_o thing_n must_v be_v extraessential_a of_o itself_o because_o by_o it_o and_o the_o light_n from_o thence_o we_o arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o essence_n and_o he_o add_v upon_o which_o ground_n you_o see_v the_o reasonable_a demand_n of_o those_o who_o challenge_n first_o that_o a_o distinctive_a mark_n or_o note_n must_v be_v more_o know_v than_o the_o thing_n notify_v second_o that_o a_o note_n must_v be_v in_o conjunction_n at_o least_o in_o some_o measure_n proper_a not_o common_a or_o indifferent_a to_o many_o singular_n much_o less_o to_o contrary_n now_o all_o that_o i_o can_v pick_v out_o of_o this_o be_v 1._o that_o the_o existence_n or_o essence_n of_o thing_n must_v be_v know_v by_o note_n 2._o that_o such_o note_n whereby_o we_o discover_v the_o existence_n or_o essence_n of_o thing_n must_v be_v extraessential_a or_o not_o belong_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o 3._o that_o these_o note_n must_v not_o be_v common_a but_o proper_a to_o the_o thing_n of_o which_o it_o be_v a_o note_n which_o be_v as_o pretty_a notion_n as_o a_o man_n shall_v ordinary_o meet_v with_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v brief_o examine_v they_o first_o that_o the_o existence_n or_o essence_n of_o thing_n must_v be_v know_v by_o note_n for_o if_o the_o existence_n and_o essence_n of_o thing_n may_v be_v know_v without_o note_n this_o dispute_n about_o note_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o yet_o how_o many_o thing_n be_v there_o who_o existence_n and_o essence_n be_v know_v without_o note_n who_o desire_v any_o note_n to_o know_v the_o sun_n by_o to_o know_v what_o light_n or_o taste_v or_o sound_v pain_n or_o pleasure_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o these_o object_n and_o the_o notice_n our_o sense_n give_v we_o of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n themselves_o be_v the_o only_a note_n of_o themselves_o the_o use_n of_o sign_n or_o note_n be_v only_o to_o discover_v the_o existence_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v absent_a visible_a or_o future_a but_o what_o be_v present_a and_o visible_a expose_v to_o the_o notice_n of_o sense_n or_o reason_n be_v best_a know_v by_o itself_o and_o can_v be_v right_o know_v no_o other_o way_n and_o therefore_o since_o all_o the_o dispute_n be_v about_o mark_v of_o the_o church_n he_o ought_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n be_v such_o a_o society_n as_o can_v be_v know_v only_o by_o note_n and_o then_o it_o must_v either_o be_v absent_a invisible_a or_o future_a for_o all_o other_o thing_n may_v be_v know_v by_o themselves_o without_o note_n second_o especial_o since_o he_o will_v allow_v nothing_o to_o be_v a_o note_n but_o what_o be_v extraessential_a or_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o very_a extraordinary_a way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o existence_n or_o essence_n of_o thing_n by_o such_o note_n as_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o their_o essence_n and_o then_o i_o think_v they_o can_v prove_v their_o existence_n for_o how_o can_v i_o find_v out_o any_o thing_n without_o know_v in_o some_o measure_n what_o it_o be_v i_o find_v or_o how_o can_v i_o know_v what_o the_o essence_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v by_o such_o note_n as_o be_v not_o essential_a there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o note_n or_o sign_n that_o i_o know_v of_o natural_a or_o institute_v and_o they_o both_o suppose_v that_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n and_o the_o note_n and_o sign_n of_o it_o before_o we_o can_v find_v it_o out_o by_o sign_n or_o note_n as_o for_o natural_a sign_n the_o most_o certain_a sign_n we_o have_v be_v cause_n and_o effect_n but_o we_o must_v know_v both_o the_o cause_n and_o effect_n before_o the_o one_o can_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o other_o thus_o smoke_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o fire_n but_o it_o be_v no_o sign_n of_o fire_n to_o any_o man_n who_o do_v not_o know_v what_o fire_n be_v and_o that_o it_o will_v cause_v a_o smoke_n when_o it_o seize_v on_o combustible_a matter_n and_o that_o nothing_o else_o can_v cause_v a_o smoke_n but_o fire_n thus_o in_o univocal_a effect_n the_o effect_n declare_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o cause_n as_o we_o know_v that_o a_o man_n have_v a_o man_n to_o his_o father_n but_o then_o we_o must_v first_o know_v what_o a_o man_n be_v and_o that_o a_o man_n beget_v in_o his_o own_o likeness_n but_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v not_o our_o author_n meaning_n that_o the_o note_n of_o the_o church_n be_v natural_a cause_n and_o effect_n or_o natural_a concomitant_n or_o adjunct_n because_o the_o church_n be_v not_o a_o natural_a but_o a_o mystical_a body_n and_o therefore_o can_v have_v no_o natural_a note_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v institute_v sign_n and_o they_o we_o grant_v must_v be_v extraessential_a but_o then_o there_o never_o be_v and_o never_o can_v be_v a_o institute_v sign_n to_o discover_v the_o essence_n and_o existence_n of_o what_o we_o do_v not_o know_v before_o the_o use_n of_o such_o sign_n be_v to_o distinguish_v place_n or_o person_n by_o different_a name_n or_o habit_n or_o colour_n etc._n etc._n or_o to_o serve_v instead_o of_o word_n as_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n or_o the_o beat_v of_o the_o drum_n or_o to_o be_v for_o legal_a contract_n and_o security_n and_o the_o like_a but_o institute_v sign_n be_v no_o sign_n till_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o which_o they_o be_v sign_n which_o show_v how_o ridiculous_a it_o be_v to_o talk_v of_o such_o extraessential_a note_n as_o shall_v discover_v the_o existence_n and_o essence_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v not_o before_o for_o if_o we_o must_v first_o know_v the_o church_n before_o we_o can_v find_v it_o out_o by_o note_n these_o extraessential_a note_n may_v be_v spare_v
