now_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o be_v the_o protestant_a church_n proper_o it_o believe_v many_o article_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o fundamental_a article_n that_o the_o catholic_n believe_v so_o far_o they_o be_v not_o proper_o protestant_n but_o their_o proper_a notion_n be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o those_o tenet_n wherein_o they_o differ_v so_o that_o protestancy_n proper_o and_o as_o

protestant_a church_n as_o it_o be_v proper_o the_o protestant_n church_n condistinct_a from_o the_o catholic_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o do_v not_o teach_v the_o

will_v prove_v that_o their_o doctrine_n for_o which_o they_o separate_v from_o we_o and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n the_o argument_n be_v in_o ferio_n thus_o no_o fallible_a doctrine_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n for_o who_o will_v be_v so_o blasphemous_a as_o to_o say_v that_o what_o christ_n have_v teach_v be_v fallible_a doctrine_n but_o protestancy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o the_o doctrine_n wherein_o protestant_n differr_v from_o catholic_n and_o for_o which_o they_o separate_v from_o we_o be_v altogether_o fallible_a doctrine_n therefore_o protestancy_n as_o it_o be_v proper_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n that_o protestancy_n or_o the_o doctrine_n wherein_o we_o differ_v be_v all_o fallible_a doctrine_n its_o manifest_a for_o protestancy_n or_o doctrine_n wherein_o we_o differ_v be_v altogether_o of_o point_n not_o fundamental_a we_o all_o agree_v in_o the_o fundamental_a article_n as_o they_o unanimous_o confess_v we_o only_o differ_v in_o inferior_a truth_n wherein_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v err_v but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o point_n not_o fundamental_a and_o inferior_a truth_n be_v fallible_a doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v their_o constant_a doctrine_n also_o that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v it_o the_o catholic_n or_o protestant_n can_v err_v and_o be_v fallible_a in_o article_n not_o fundamental_a and_o inferior_a truth_n therefore_o all_o your_o protestancy_n be_v but_o fallible_a doctrine_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n i_o confess_v ingenuous_o i_o think_v this_o argument_n can_v be_v solid_o answer_v for_o be_v it_o not_o certain_a that_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o as_o you_o say_v only_o in_o not_o fundamental_a article_n be_v it_o not_o also_o your_o doctrine_n that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v fallible_a in_o article_n not_o fundamental_a how_o can_v it_o then_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o only_o in_o fallible_a doctrine_n the_o doctrine_n wherein_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o be_v protestancy_n and_o nothing_o else_o be_v proper_o protestancy_n but_o that_o for_o which_o you_o depart_v from_o we_o therefore_o your_o protestancy_n be_v but_o fallible_a doctrine_n and_o consequent_o not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n hence_o i_o infer_v that_o you_o can_v without_o blasphemy_n look_v for_o your_o doctrine_n in_o scripture_n no_o text_n or_o word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v allege_v for_o protestancy_n nor_o any_o other_o

scripture_n which_o contain_v nothing_o but_o god_n infallible_a word_n observe_v how_o vain_o the_o protestant_n do_v boast_v their_o religion_n and_o
difference_n from_o we_o to_o be_v bottom_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o their_o figurative_a presence_n be_v clear_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o will_v prove_v the_o pretend_a error_n for_o which_o they_o forsake_v we_o by_o scripture_n they_o amuse_v the_o poor_a people_n with_o the_o specious_a pretext_n of_o scripture_n no_o rule_n of_o faith_n but_o scripture_n no_o judge_n of_o controversy_n but_o scripture_n no_o warrant_n for_o divin_v worship_n but_o scripture_n and_o after_o all_o its_o manifest_a by_o my_o former_a discourse_n that_o no_o article_n of_o protestancy_n as_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a doctrine_n distinct_a from_o catholecism_n can_v without_o sacrilege_n be_v seek_v for_o in_o scripture_n if_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o it_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o but_o now_o i_o propose_v for_o that_o no_o article_n of_o protestancy_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v all_o but_o fallible_a doctrine_n if_o they_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n because_o they_o believe_v the_o chief_a and_o fundamental_a article_n wherein_o they_o agree_v with_o we_o and_o that_o be_v ridiculous_a because_o in_o so_o much_o they_o be_v not_o protestant_n it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o article_n that_o they_o depart_v from_o we_o and_o set_v up_o a_o distinct_a church_n this_o be_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v pretend_v to_o be_v of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n and_o if_o they_o may_v be_v call_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n for_o that_o reason_n pelagian_n eutychian_o and_o other_o heretic_n congregation_n may_v be_v call_v so_o also_o and_o thus_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n instead_o of_o be_v the_o house_n of_o peace_n and_o union_n be_v a_o house_n of_o confusion_n out_o of_o this_o discourse_n also_o we_o may_v understand_v how_o vain_a be_v the_o
