the_o mistake_n then_o that_o these_o man_n who_o confute_v popery_n be_v not_o protestant_n but_o papist_n methinks_v their_o confute_v popery_n be_v no_o great_a sign_n of_o their_o be_v papist_n especial_o when_o papist_n be_v not_o able_a to_o defend_v their_o religion_n against_o they_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o their_o argument_n will_v keep_v man_n from_o turn_v papist_n they_o be_v notable_a

more_o just_a cause_n to_o suspect_v that_o our_o late_a popish_a writer_n be_v protestant_n than_o that_o our_o protestant_a writer_n be_v papist_n when_o they_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v their_o

because_o the_o council_n of_o constantinople_n affirm_v that_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n body_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n teach_v so_o i_o be_o

according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v no_o representative_a object_n of_o worship_n and_o therefore_o we_o neither_o bow_n to_o nor_o before_o nor_o in_o presence_n

so_o we_o do_v but_o maintain_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n i_o think_v the_o supremacy_n a_o intolerable_a usurpation_n on_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o i_o

for_o though_o i_o may_v be_v content_v to_o be_v oppress_v in_o my_o christian_a liberty_n i_o can_v never_o be_v content_v to_o be_v damn_v which_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o submit_v to_o

which_o be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a mystery_n for_o a_o priest_n to_o transubstantiate_v the_o element_n into_o the_o natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o
