no_o part_n of_o my_o meaning_n but_o i_o say_v that_o the_o true_a church_n can_v long_o want_v true_a bishope_n and_o teacher_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o romish_a church_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n have_v no_o bishop_n nor_o priest_n at_o all_o but_o in_o name_n and_o that_o i_o prove_v for_o that_o they_o want_v true_a priesthood_n and_o true_a ordination_n and_o be_v ordain_v and_o send_v by_o antichrist_n by_o heretic_n and_o simoniacal_a person_n and_o such_o as_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o ordain_v or_o send_v forth_o bishop_n and_o preeste_n he_o answer_v final_o that_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o carp_v at_o the_o romish_a clergy_n for_o their_o bad_a life_n and_o lack_v of_o learning_n see_v pag._n 96._o our_o church_n as_o he_o say_v admit_v most_o base_a lewd_a &_o unlearned_a artisan_n &_o this_o he_o indevour_v to_o prove_v by_o m._n parries_n word_n in_o his_o preface_n before_o vrsinus_n his_o catechism_n but_o he_o lie_v like_o a_o lewd_a and_o

for_o their_o call_n beside_o that_o he_o can_v conclude_v because_o that_o external_a calling_n be_v then_o think_v sufficient_a that_o now_o the_o popish_a church_n have_v a_o calling_n sufficient_a for_o albeit_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o worship_v baal_n have_v a_o external_a call_n which_o be_v not_o disable_v when_o they_o return_v to_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n yet_o

when_o they_o serve_v at_o their_o mass_a altar_n they_o worship_v strange_a god_n but_o when_o they_o leave_v their_o idolatry_n than_o their_o call_n take_v effect_v they_o do_v that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v principal_o call_v furthermore_o he_o can_v say_v because_o now_o all_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n be_v abandon_v we_o be_v the_o true_a church_n that_o the_o papist_n that_o retain_v still_o their_o superstition_n be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n be_v try_v by_o true_a faith_n true_a worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n &_o not_o by_o external_a rite_n and_o
