aught_o to_o be_v believe_v as_o firm_o as_o he_o himself_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o assertion_n be_v that_o their_o doctrine_n though_o deliver_v by_o secondary_a mouth_n yet_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o same_o fountain_n which_o be_v god_n himself_o the_o prime_a verity_n that_o can_v deceive_v nor_o be_v deceive_v but_o all_o the_o difficulty_n herein_o be_v to_o know_v who_o have_v

that_o must_v necessary_o infer_v god_n himself_o co_fw-la operate_v with_o they_o to_o justify_v what_o they_o say_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o doctrine_n not_o their_o own_o but_o receive_v from_o christ_n must_v be_v true_a and_o divine_a this_o faith_n thus_o teach_v by_o christ_n and_o propagate_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o necessary_a to_o mankind_n to_o believe_v depend_v

creep_v in_o that_o be_v to_o say_v no_o false_a proposition_n whatsoever_o can_v ever_o be_v receive_v and_o embrace_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n
as_o a_o proposition_n of_o faith_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o church_n believe_v as_o a_o proposition_n of_o faith_n be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o christ_n teach_v it_o as_o such_o unto_o the_o church_n he_o plant_v himself_o and_o so_o leave_v it_o in_o trust_n to_o be_v by_o it_o deliver_v over_o to_o the_o next_o age_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o present_a church_n believe_v any_o proposition_n to_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v because_o the_o immediate_a precede_a church_n of_o the_o age_n before_o deliver_v it_o as_o such_o and_o so_o you_o may_v derive_v it_o on_o from_o age_n to_o age_n until_o you_o come_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o christ_n for_o to_o have_v any_o false_a proposition_n of_o faith_n admit_v into_o the_o church_n in_o any_o age_n do_v suppose_v that_o all_o they_o of_o that_o age_n must_v unanimous_o conspire_v to_o deceive_v their_o child_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v teach_v by_o their_o father_n to_o believe_v as_o of_o faith_n some_o

end_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o deceive_v other_o whence_o i_o come_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n depend_v on_o these_o two_o proposition_n first_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n say_v be_v true_a next_o
