against_o god_n church_n shall_v be_v damn_v but_o here_o i_o will_v stay_v myself_o wade_v no_o further_a in_o the_o disquisition_n and_o search_v of_o the_o great_a dissension_n between_o catholic_n

creed_n that_o they_o both_o do_v not_o believe_v one_o and_o the_o same_o creed_n but_o have_v to_o themselves_o several_a creed_n from_o which_o point_n be_v sufficient_o discover_v the_o want_n

contain_v in_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v indifferent_o believe_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n both_o by_o catholic_a and_o protestant_n three_o see_v also_o there_o be_v sundry_a controversy_n in_o religion_n as_o be_v above_o exemplify_v which_o immediate_o concern_v salvation_n be_v houlden_v as_o necessary_a mean_n thereof_o by_o catholic_n but_o disclaim_v from_o and_o abandon_v by_o
