that_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o true_a member_n thereof_o shall_v be_v invisible_a in_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n it_o be_v without_o question_n now_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o

have_v thus_o at_o large_a instruct_v m._n bishop_n what_o our_o doctrine_n be_v of_o the_o visibility_n of_o the_o church_n i_o will_v answer_v he_o brief_o as_o touch_v the_o other_o point_n of_o this_o cavil_n error_n the_o church_n subject_n to_o error_n that_o by_o the_o ancient_a monument_n of_o the_o church_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o many_o foul_a error_n enter_v into_o the_o church_n soon_o after_o the_o apostle_n time_n that_o while_o 13.25_o while_o matt._n 13.25_o the_o watchman_n and_o husbandman_n be_v sometime_o sleepy_a the_o enemy_n come_v and_o sow_v tare_n among_o the_o wheat_n that_o the_o builder_n build_v much_o 3.12_o much_o 1._o cor._n 3.12_o hay_n &_o wood_n and_o stubble_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o retain_v the_o only_a true_a foundation_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o that_o by_o the_o foundation_n they_o themselves_o be_v save_v but_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v consume_v that_o trash_n which_o they_o have_v build_v thereon_o i_o have_v 29._o have_v answer_v to_o the_o epistle_n sect_n 13._o ex_fw-la euseb_n hist._n eccles_n l._n 3._o c._n 29._o before_o show_v out_o of_o eusebius_n how_o

from_o they_o i_o have_v there_o show_v how_o the_o shift_n and_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n for_o corrupt_v of_o the_o truth_n which_o he_o begin_v to_o practice_v even_o in_o their_o day_n though_o they_o be_v then_o check_v by_o their_o authority_n yet_o prevail_v mighty_o when_o they_o be_v go_v the_o error_n which_o then_o be_v how_o far_o they_o extend_v and_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o other_o place_n the_o same_o that_o we_o find_v they_o to_o have_v be_v in_o some_o it_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o we_o but_o manifest_a it_o be_v that_o so_o cunning_o and_o effectual_o satan_n convey_v that_o poison_n into_o the_o church_n as_o that_o it_o have_v never_o since_o perfect_o recover_v those_o wound_n that_o it_o receive_v then_o yea_o antichrist_n the_o man_n of_o sin_n the_o master_n of_o abomination_n find_v many_o of_o those_o corruption_n in_o the_o church_n have_v bind_v they_o together_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o bundle_n and_o by_o his_o edict_n and_o law_n have_v obtrude_v and_o force_v they_o to_o be_v receive_v as_o article_n of_o true_a faith_n but_o this_o say_v m._n bishop_n do_v mighty_o blemish_v the_o inestimable_a price_n of_o the_o most_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ._n and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o it_o make_v it_o not_o to_o be_v of_o sufficient_a value_n to_o purchase_v unto_o he_o a_o everlasting_a inheritance_n free_a from_o all_o error_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o abound_v in_o all_o good_a work_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o christ_n purchase_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o not_o by_o

answer_v he_o brief_o out_o of_o his_o own_o word_n that_o as_o the_o church_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v do_v not_o so_o abound_v in_o all_o good_a work_n but_o that_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o sin_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o same_o church_n so_o abound_v in_o knowledge_n and_o truth_n but_o that_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o error_n christ_n intend_v not_o by_o his_o mediation_n to_o bring_v his_o church_n in_o this_o life_n to_o full_a perfection_n so_o long_o as_o she_o continue_v a_o pilgrim_n from_o her_o bridegroom_n and_o lord_n she_o shall_v still_o carry_v the_o mark_n of_o mortality_n and_o corruption_n the_o church_n in_o this_o world_n be_v like_a unto_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v never_o so_o clear_a but_o that_o some_o fret_v or_o spot_n of_o darkness_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o it_o and_o howsoever_o it_o seem_v bright_a in_o one_o part_n yet_o be_v obscure_v in_o another_o but_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o while_n to_o see_v to_o what_o issue_n m._n bishop_n will_v bring_v this_o conceit_n of_o he_o if_o he_o be_v urge_v to_o reveal_v the_o secret_a of_o it_o for_o let_v we_o question_v with_o he_o if_o the_o church_n can_v err_v how_o be_v it_o that_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n have_v err_v and_o quite_o fall_v away_o 20.28_o away_o act._n 20.28_o which_o god_n purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o of_o which_o it_o

say_v these_o particular_a church_n may_v err_v but_o the_o whole_a church_n universal_a can_v err_v but_o if_o every_o part_n of_o the_o church_n may_v err_v then_o sure_o the_o whole_a church_n
