A00797	True relations of sundry conferences had between certaine Protestant doctours and a Iesuite called M. Fisher (then prisoner in London for the Catholique fayth:) togeather with defences of the same. In which is shewed, that there hath alwayes beene, since Christ, a visible church, and in it a visible succession of doctours & pastours, teaching the vnchanged doctrine of fayth, left by Christ and his apostles, in all points necessary to saluation and that not Protestants, but only Roman Catholiques haue had, and can shew such a visible church, and in it such a succesion of pastours and doctours, of whome men may securely learne what pointe of fayth are necessary to saluation. / By A.C.

principal_a and_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n 2._o m._n fisher_n may_v have_v ask_v whether_o only_o the_o word_n of_o the_o creed_n be_v needful_a to_o be_v hold_v as_o a_o sufficient_a

for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o schism_n or_o separation_n of_o one_o self_n from_o church-vnity_n be_v a_o most_o damnable_a sin_n which_o can_v be_v make_v lawful_a

neither_o can_v there_o be_v show_v any_o other_o reason_n why_o protestant_n do_v make_v and_o continue_v this_o their_o separation_n than_o be_v or_o may_v have_v be_v allege_v by_o heretic_n and_o
