private_a person_n church_n may_v err_v in_o fundamental_o if_o they_o list_v for_o they_o may_v be_v heretical_a for_o church_n may_v be_v wicked_a they_o may_v be_v idolater_n and_o why_o then_o

our_o saviour_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n be_v but_o out_o of_o mistake_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n and_o indeed_o i_o have_v often_o muse_v how_o so_o plain_a a_o place_n can_v so_o long_o and_o so_o general_o be_v misconstrue_v to_o secure_v you_o therefore_o that_o you_o be_v not_o abuse_v with_o these_o word_n hereafter_o for_o they_o be_v often_o quote_v to_o prove_v the_o church_n infallibility_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o they_o for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v a_o hebraisme_n for_o in_o the_o hebrew_n expression_n the_o gate_n of_o a_o thing_n signify_v the_o thing_n itself_o as_o the_o gate_n of_o zion_n zion_n itself_o

take_v the_o word_n in_o that_o meaning_n for_o what_o great_a mean_n can_v we_o have_v to_o warrant_v the_o signification_n of_o a_o scripture_n word_n than_o the_o general_a meaning_n of_o it_o in_o

the_o truth_n he_o make_v a_o promise_n of_o victory_n against_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o what_o he_o there_o say_v sounds_z to_z no_o other_o purpose_n but_o this_o that_o those_o who_o shall_v
