these_o argument_n draw_v from_o your_o own_o assertion_n 1._o true_a doctrine_n be_v the_o church_n inseparable_a mate_n p._n 40._o but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v her_o inseparable_a mate_n if_o it_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o she_o and_o bring_v into_o society_n with_o a_o schismatical_a church_n 2._o christ_n have_v entrust_v his_o church_n with_o truth_n and_o ordain_v her_o keeper_n and_o

teach_v in_o scripture_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o both_o augustine_n and_o hierom_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o schism_n which_o do_v not_o
both_o to_o pray_v with_o he_o and_o to_o anoint_v he_o which_o be_v far_o from_o the_o ceremony_n of_o extreme_a unction_n thus_o far_o cajetan_n 3._o saint_n james_n unction_n be_v no_o sacrament_n

popish_a unction_n assume_v to_o itself_o this_o name_n and_o that_o in_o a_o proper_a acception_n against_o both_o scripture_n and_o antiquity_n scripture_n mention_v only_a christ_n institution_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n and_o antiquity_n when_o it_o speak_v of_o proper_a sacrament_n do_v no_o more_o rabanus_n maurus_n who_o live_v about_o 800_o year_n ago_o acknowledge_v no_o
