to_o own_o any_o number_n or_o association_n of_o man_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n catholic_a and_o yet_o not_o to_o resort_v to_o the_o same_o religious_a office_n amount_v not_o to_o

and_o office_n of_o another_o church_n if_o so_o be_v he_o do_v it_o not_o upon_o a_o religious_a account_n nor_o devout_o join_v therewith_o thus_o when_o elijah_n be_v present_a at_o the_o

worship_n and_o bear_v up_o her_o train_n but_o do_v not_o join_v in_o the_o mahometan_a service_n thus_o the_o protestant_a divine_n as_o sleidan_n 52._o and_o the_o history_n of_o the_o council_n

3._o three_o that_o the_o grand_a occasion_n of_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n and_o the_o papist_n be_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v assume_v a_o
