make_v common_a opinion_n to_o become_v article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o inquire_v in_o this_o case_n since_o the_o church_n pretend_v to_o no_o new_a

to_o their_o decree_n or_o to_o believe_v their_o declaration_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a by_o a_o know_a instance_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o several_a pope_n and_o council_n have_v declare_v the_o depose_v doctrine_n and_o yet_o our_o author_n say_v it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n with_o he_o why_o not_o since_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n have_v as_o evident_o deliver_v

may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o case_n and_o if_o it_o be_v i_o will_v know_v whether_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o will_v then_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o necessary_a

we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o receive_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o impossibility_n of_o innovation_n come_v in_o without_o notorious_a opposition_n i_o see_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o it_o where_o the_o alteration_n be_v not_o make_v at_o once_o but_o proceed_v gradual_o he_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o fall_v into_o a_o dropsy_n or_o a_o hectick-fever_n unless_o he_o can_v tell_v the_o punctual_a time_n when_o it_o begin_v and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v thus_o such_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o a_o fever_n upon_o a_o great_a debauch_n and_o the_o
