be_v call_v catholic_n the_o other_o be_v of_o those_o sect_n of_o christian_n each_o one_o of_o which_o do_v a_o part_n &_o separat_o by_o himself_o consult_v the_o holy_a ghost_n out_o of_o the_o

all_o these_o forename_a christian_n consent_n in_o this_o opinion_n that_o they_o make_v it_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o faith_n to_o consult_v the_o holy_a ghost_n out_o of_o the_o bible_n consist_v of_o the_o old_a &_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o will_v hereafter_o to_o include_v they_o all_o grace_v they_o with_o the_o title_n of_o biblists_n the_o catholic_n distinguish_v the_o church_n

the_o catholic_a church_n be_v subordinate_v for_o many_o bishop_n be_v under_o one_o archbishop_n many_o archbishop_n under_o one_o patriarch_n among_o who_o the_o bishop_n of_o room_n bear_v the_o

general_a council_n or_o a_o general_a council_n confirm_v by_o the_o bishop_n of_o room_n have_v two_o prerogative_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v infallible_o assist_v the_o
