a_o infallibility_n or_o actual_a security_n of_o never_o err_a in_o necessary_n make_v to_o the_o church_n catholic_n in_o general_n and_o see_v they_o do_v gather_v this_o from_o those_o text_n

clergy_n from_o a_o church_n then_o grant_v never_o fail_v or_o err_v and_o that_o be_v infallible_a in_o necessary_n i_o say_v it_o follow_v most_o rational_o that_o there_o must_v be_v always_o a_o
