that_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o this_o proposition_n we_o prove_v the_o second_o by_o enumeration_n if_o they_o do_v not_o so_o separate_v themselves_o let_v that_o church_n be_v nominate_v among_o the_o forementioned_a from_o which_o they_o do_v not_o voluntary_o separate_v themselves_o it_o be_v not_o confess_o the_o roman_a for_o they_o all_o profess_v themselves_o not_o to_o be_v of_o her_o

to_o they_o must_v also_o separate_v with_o they_o and_o thereby_o become_v schismatic_n the_o second_o proposition_n we_o prove_v whosoever_o adhere_v to_o those_o who_o be_v successive_o ordain_v by_o such_o schismatical_a pastor_n maintain_v the_o same_o cause_n which_o they_o begin_v adhere_v to_o schismatical_a pastor_n as_o schismatical_a be_v understand_v in_o our_o definition_n but_o
