in_o many_o book_n which_o treat_v of_o this_o church_n a_o accusation_n against_o it_o that_o it_o admit_v but_o of_o one_o person_n and_o one_o nature_n in_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o eutyches_n of_o which_o i_o myself_o be_v once_o of_o opinion_n until_o i_o read_v and_o well_o consider_v of_o the_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n they_o believe_v that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n and_o that_o he_o free_v the_o soul_n of_o all_o the_o damn_a from_o thence_o by_o the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o his_o glorious_a presence_n but_o not_o for_o ever_o or_o

that_o we_o may_v take_v a_o more_o clear_a view_n of_o their_o faith_n i_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o represent_v that_o which_o they_o call_v their_o tavananck_n or_o symbolum_n different_a from_o the_o apostle_n and_o nicene_n creed_n which_o for_o those_o word_n follw_v viz._n where_o the_o deity_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o humanity_n without_o spot_n seem_v to_o be_v calculate_v for_o

unto_o no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o greek_n declare_v in_o the_o anatolian_a confession_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o true_a not_o a_o fantastic_a body_n that_o it_o be_v form_v in_o
