the_o very_a act_n of_o belief_n and_o these_o not_o liable_a t●_n error_n can_v never_o operate_v but_o when_o the_o divine_a revelation_n real_o be_v grant_v all_o thi●_n to_o be_v true_a yet_o what_o do_v this_o prove_v concern_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o external_a infallible_a proponent_n such_o as_o the_o church_n be_v all_o that_o ca●_n hence_o follow_v be_v that_o those_o who_o the_o

where_o the_o church_n first_o infallible_o propose_v no_o this_o
can_v have_v any_o unquestionable_a assurance_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o person_n as_o christ_n in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o wrought_v such_o great_a miracle_n for_o confirmation_n of_o his_o

and_o all_o other_o divine_a verity_n contain_v therein_o let_v the_o reader_n now_o judge_v whether_o the_o objection_n or_o the_o answer_n savour_v of_o more_o ignorance_n and_o folly_n but_o it_o
