as_o for_o the_o sincere_a preach_v of_o the_o truth_n or_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n this_o be_v common_a to_o all_o sect_n at_o least_o in_o their_o own_o opinion_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o sacrament_n all_o sect_n and_o profession_n of_o christian_n either_o have_v the_o true_a faith_n and_o sacrament_n or_o at_o least_o think_v that_o they_o have_v so_o and_o therefore_o these_o mark_n can_v visible_o distinguish_v the_o true_a church_n from_o any_o other_o sect_n of_o

christian_n now_o i_o must_v confess_v these_o note_n as_o he_o well_o observe_v be_v common_a to_o all_o christian_a church_n and_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v so_o and_o if_o this_o do_v not_o answer_v his_o design_n we_o can_v help_v it_o the_o protestant_a church_n do_v not_o desire_v to_o confine_v the_o note_n of_o the_o church_n to_o their_o own_o private_a communion_n but_o be_v very_o glad_a

as_o he_o who_o will_v describe_v a_o man_n must_v describe_v he_o by_o such_o character_n as_o fit_v all_o mankind_n so_o he_o who_o give_v the_o essential_a character_n of_o a_o church_n must_v give_v such_o note_n as_o fit_v all_o true_a church_n in_o the_o world._n this_o indeed_o do_v not_o fit_a the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o make_v it_o the_o only_a catholic_n and_o the_o only_a true_a

though_o these_o note_n be_v common_a indeed_o to_o all_o true_a christian_a church_n yet_o they_o be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o a_o true_a christian_a church_n as_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o a_o man_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n but_o proper_a to_o mankind_n and_o this_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v they_o true_a note_n for_o such_o note_n of_o a_o true_a church_n as_o do_v not_o

that_o undertake_v to_o show_v the_o use_n and_o great_a moment_n of_o the_o note_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n after_o other_o have_v 1._o

for_o say_v he_o they_o seem_v to_o a_o single_a not_o malignant_a eye_n even_o triumphant_a note_n of_o the_o militant_a church_n and_o then_o he_o lead_v they_o out_o in_o great_a state_n 4._o pag._n 4._o as_o he_o think_v as_o first_o let_v i_o have_v leave_n to_o reckon_v they_o ay_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n well_o then_o the_o name_n catholic_n how_o sacred_a to_o all_o those_o who_o

show_v they_o all_o in_o good_a order_n till_o he_o come_v to_o the_o three_o last_o and_o there_o he_o draw_v the_o curtain_n as_o if_o he_o be_v afraid_a any_o body_n shall_v see_v their_o

which_o he_o do_v but_o just_a give_v we_o a_o little_a glimpse_n of_o and_o then_o pop_v they_o away_o present_o out_o of_o sight_n but_o poor_a temporal_a felicity_n be_v serve_v worst_a of_o all_o it_o have_v not_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o name_v he_o have_v not_o bestow_v one_o syllable_n upon_o it_o though_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v as_o triumphant_a a_o note_n as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v cunning_o do_v to_o drop_v it_o for_o he_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v aware_a that_o the_o heretic_n may_v sometime_o pretend_v to_o a_o share_n of_o it_o now_o when_o he_o have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o view_n of_o the_o majestic_a train_n as_o he_o think_v fit_a he_o conclude_v the_o paragraph_n with_o a_o artificial_a epiphonema_n adorn_v with_o a_o very_a pathetical_a ingemination_n these_o these_o be_v the_o note_n which_o like_o a_o bill_n in_o parliament_n deserve_v what_o a_o second_o read_v partur_fw-la montes_n o_o the_o
