participant_a each_o of_o other_o rather_o i_o conclude_v that_o see_v many_o of_o the_o best_a learned_a protestant_n do_v grant_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n though_o peradventure_o faulty_a in_o some_o thing_n and_o contrary_o not_o only_o the_o catholic_n but_o also_o the_o puritan_n anabaptist_n brownist_n etc._n etc._n do_v all_o deny_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v more_o safe_a and_o secure_a to_o become_v a_o roman_n catholic_n who_o have_v a_o true_a church_n by_o consent_n of_o both_o party_n than_o to_o remain_v a_o protestant_n who_o do_v alone_o plead_v their_o own_o cause_n have_v all_o the_o other_o against_o they_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o contrary_n also_o be_v much_o more_o sufficient_a and_o more_o certain_a than_o to_o justify_v ourselves_o alone_o yet_o i_o resist_v and_o stand_v out_o still_o and_o betake_v myself_o again_o to_o read_v over_o and_o examine_v the_o chief_a controversy_n especial_o those_o about_o the_o church_n which_o be_v cardo_n negotii_fw-la and_o herein_o because_o the_o bearer_n stay_v now_o a_o day_n or_o two_o long_a i_o will_v enlarge_v myself_o more_o than_o i_o purpose_v and_o so_o i_o will_v needs_o peruse_v the_o original_a quotation_n and_o text_n of_o the_o council_n father_n and_o doctor_n in_o the_o author_n themselves_o which_o be_v allege_v on_o both_o part_n to_o see_v if_o they_o be_v true_o cite_v and_o according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o author_n a_o labour_n of_o much_o labour_n and_o of_o travel_n sometime_o to_o find_v the_o book_n wherein_o i_o find_v much_o fraud_n commit_v by_o the_o protestant_n and_o that_o the_o catholic_n have_v far_o great_a and_o better_a army_n of_o evident_a witness_n on_o their_o side_n much_o more_o than_o the_o protestant_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o centurist_n be_v fain_o often_o to_o censure_v and_o reject_v the_o plain_a testimony_n of_o those_o ancient_n as_o if_o their_o new_a censure_n be_v sufficient_a to_o disauthorize_v the_o other_o ancient_a sentence_n and_o so_o i_o remember_v danaeus_n in_o commentariis_fw-la super_fw-la d._n augustin_n enchirid._n ad_fw-la laurentium_fw-la where_o s._n augustin_n plain_o avouch_v purgatory_n he_o reject_v s._n augustine_n opinion_n say_v hic_fw-la est_fw-la naevus_fw-la augustini_fw-la but_o i_o have_v rather_o follow_v s._n augustine_n opinion_n than_o his_o censure_n for_o who_o be_v they_o to_o control_v the_o father_n there_o be_v indeed_o some_o few_o place_n in_o author_n which_o prima_n fancy_n seem_v to_o favour_v protestant_n as_o many_o heretic_n allege_v some_o text_n of_o scripture_n who_o sound_n of_o word_n seem_v to_o make_v for_o their_o opinion_n but_o be_v well_o examine_v and_o interpret_v according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n and_o according_a to_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o author_n where_o they_o do_v more_o full_o explain_v their_o opinion_n so_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v wrest_v and_o from_o the_o purpose_n in_o fine_a i_o find_v myself_o evident_o convince_v both_o by_o many_o authority_n and_o by_o many_o argument_n which_o now_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v all_o nor_o can_v here_o repeat_v those_o which_o i_o do_v remember_v but_o only_o some_o few_o argument_n i_o will_v relate_v unto_o you_o which_o prevail_v most_o with_o i_o beside_o those_o aforemention_v first_o therefore_o i_o can_v never_o approve_v the_o protestant_n evasion_n by_o invisibility_n of_o their_o church_n for_o though_o sometime_o it_o may_v be_v diminish_v and_o obscure_v yet_o the_o catholic_n church_n must_v ever_o be_v visible_a set_v on_o a_o hill_n and_o not_o as_o light_v hide_v under_o

shall_v any_o find_v the_o sacrament_n if_o invisible_a also_o the_o true_a church_n in_o all_o place_n and_o all_o age_n ever_o hold_v one_o uniformity_n and_o concord_n in_o all_o matter_n of_o
