make_v we_o heretic_n worthy_o to_o be_v avoid_v and_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o that_o there_o be_v no_o heresy_n in_o the_o catholic_a roman_a church_n and_o the_o king_n majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o many_o learned_a man_n in_o that_o kingdom_n have_v confess_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v

firm_o believe_v therefore_o it_o maintain_v no_o article_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o catholic_a faith_n and_o since_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n but_o contain_v the_o true_a faith_n they_o can_v minister_v a_o just_a cause_n to_o begin_v a_o schism_n but_o protestant_n say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v separate_v and_o divide_v we_o from_o she_o because_o we_o respect_v those_o article_n but_o i_o be_o sorry_a and_o lament_v that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o most_o foul_a and_o gross_a schism_n before_o any_o thing_n be_v speak_v of_o concern_v these_o

forbid_v by_o the_o diviue_v natural_a law_n which_o prohibit_v the_o adoration_n of_o latria_n towards_o image_n but_o only_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n positive_a for_o a_o time_n and_o

in_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o calf_n but_o i_o will_v never_o grant_v that_o the_o calf_n do_v only_o represent_v unto_o they_o the_o true_a god_n and_o it_o be_v most_o false_a and_o against_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o israelite_n do_v adore_v the_o true_a god_n in_o that_o calf_n they_o adore_v the_o golden_a calf_n itself_o and_o err_v
