anger_n and_o malice_n and_o indignation_n for_o dispute_n alas_o continue_v not_o because_o truth_n be_v not_o visible_a but_o because_o man_n will_v not_o submit_v their_o sense_n to_o grace_n but_o strain_v it_o in_o stead_n of_o end_v dispute_n to_o keep_v they_o up_o and_o render_v invisible_a the_o most_o visible_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o our_o present_a case_n if_o his_o majesty_n in_o stead_n of_o as_o visible_a have_v say_v the_o church_n be_v more_o visible_a than_o scripture_n he_o will_v have_v have_v a_o very_a great_a man_n to_o take_v his_o part_n for_o which_o do_v

eye_n as_o good_a as_o they_o be_v do_v not_o see_v the_o scripture_n but_o by_o the_o catholic_a that_o be_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n for_o that_o the_o answerer_n know_v be_v the_o catholic_a church_n with_o which_o he_o communicate_v then_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o dispute_a will_v cease_v viz._n because_o none_o who_o dare_v believe_v what_o they_o see_v can_v call_v scripture_n be_v in_o print_n in_o question_n which_o by_o make_v nothing_o visible_a which_o can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n make_v it_o not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n for_o he_o know_v the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n all_o infidel_n and_o mahometan_n do_v actual_o call_v scripture_n in_o question_n at_o this_o day_n he_o know_v many_o christian_n have_v question_v divers_a part_n of_o it_o heretofore_o and_o he_o himself_o still_o question_n some_o as_o visible_o in_o print_n as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o to_o question_v whether_o the_o book_n in_o print_n be_v scripture_n be_v manifest_o to_o question_v whether_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n and_o so_o in_o one_o breath_n he_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o next_o it_o be_v not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n but_o we_o will_v not_o fall_v out_o about_o matter_n which_o import_v not_o but_o go_v he_o on_o what_o if_o the_o church_n who_o authority_n it_o be_v say_v they_o must_v submit_v to_o will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o believe_v what_o they_o see_v why_o then_o that_o church_n if_o he_o take_v believe_v strict_o agree_v with_o all_o mankind_n for_o as_o

to_o know_v our_o duty_n be_v not_o with_o he_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o do_v it_o we_o all_o know_v by_o the_o evangelist_n that_o christ_n leave_v commission_n to_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o

of_o christian_n which_o may_v still_o continue_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o instance_n the_o holy_a bishop_n and_o martyr_n who_o he_o say_v be_v excommunicate_v heretofore_o in_o

say_v that_o the_o roman_a be_v the_o catholic_a church_n but_o that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n be_v the_o one_o church_n of_o christ._n as_o roman_n alone_o may_v signify_v the_o diocese_n under_o

this_o roman_a catholic_n ever_o the_o less_o visible_o the_o one_o church_n of_o christ_n because_o a_o part_n be_v not_o a_o whole_a of_o what_o will_v he_o make_v that_o whole_a but_o of_o all_o

to_o talk_v of_o one_o church_n while_o his_o majesty_n talk_v of_o another_o upon_o the_o second_o head_n he_o ask_v if_o those_o who_o make_v the_o creed_n for_o our_o direction_n have_v intend_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n why_o be_v it_o not_o so_o express_v he_o may_v have_v answer_v himself_o for_o he_o know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o language_n always_o change_v with_o time_n as_o there_o be_v no_o such_o dream_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n when_o the_o creed_n be_v make_v as_o now_o it_o have_v be_v a_o very_a superfluous_a and_o a_o very_a

now_o there_o be_v who_o will_v have_v she_o some_o a_o corrupt_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n some_o none_o at_o all_o who_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o let_v people_n know_v they_o take_v she_o

limitation_n which_o be_v in_o this_o expression_n roman_a catholic_a church_n come_v not_o from_o roman_a but_o from_o church_n that_o word_n indeed_o always_o limit_n the_o expression_n to_o those_o who_o believe_v and_o sometime_o to_o those_o who_o practise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ._n roman_n neither_o make_v nor_o mar_v as_o to_o limitation_n but_o own_v the_o roman_n for_o such_o

visible_a as_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n shall_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o retort_v it_o upon_o she_o but_o very_o unlucky_o

church_n not_o except_v his_o own_o he_o say_v then_o in_o his_o three_o head_n that_o it_o be_v to_o he_o equal_o visible_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n itself_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o one_o catholic_a church_n mention_v in_o the_o two_o creed_n and_o this_o every_o body_n but_o he_o plain_o see_v it_o do_v and_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o argument_n because_o if_o it_o

they_o shall_v not_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v believe_v themselves_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o in_o not_o void_v the_o baptism_n of_o heretic_n they_o do_v as_o the_o primitive_a

make_v it_o good_a by_o this_o discourse_n as_o long_o as_o baptism_n do_v enter_v person_n into_o the_o catholic_a church_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o who_o have_v the_o true_a form_n of_o

baptise_a out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a but_o not_o of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n and_o therefore_o the_o catholic_a and_o roman_n catholic_n be_v

for_o he_o can_v not_o make_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a not_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n unless_o he_o suppose_v that_o those_o be_v two_o different_a church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a point_n in_o dispute_n which_o he_o shall_v prove_v and_o which_o he_o put_v for_o prove_v in_o his_o conclusion_n but_o we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o oversight_n i_o

as_o if_o they_o be_v different_a church_n that_o his_o argument_n may_v go_v on_o those_o person_n be_v not_o true_o member_n either_o of_o the_o catholic_a or_o roman_a catholic_a church_n but_o as_o far_o as_o baptism_n make_v member_n they_o be_v altogether_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n as_o of_o the_o catholic_a and_o he_o if_o he_o will_v recollect_v himself_o

dispute_n that_o they_o be_v not_o true_o member_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o contest_v be_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v member_n whether_o by_o a_o new_a

even_o to_o excommunication_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o answerer_n how_o those_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n who_o be_v in_o already_o again_o that_o they_o be_v nevertheless_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n though_o baptize_v out_o of_o its_o communion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o roman_a though_o baptize_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o baptism_n can_v make_v they_o he_o know_v too_o be_v carry_v against_o the_o rebaptisers_a by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n in_o who_o judgement_n the_o whole_a church_n ever_o since_o have_v acquiesce_v
