to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v leave_v mean_n in_o his_o church_n when_o matter_n of_o our_o common_a faith_n shall_v become_v disputable_a to_o end_n and_o decide_v they_o she_o that_o

the_o second_o that_o if_o she_o be_v not_o infallible_a in_o her_o decision_n than_o they_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o examination_n of_o every_o private_a man_n and_o be_v so_o any_o one_o may_v find_v fault_n with_o they_o and_o so_o away_o be_v open_a for_o the_o introduce_v as_o many_o religion_n as_o man_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o clear_v the_o truth_n another_o to_o answer_v a_o objection_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o this_o objection_n yet_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v clear_v will_v
