constance_n and_o of_o basill_n which_o council_n we_o find_v to_o be_v a_o body_n representative_a of_o a_o church_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o pope_n and_o court_n of_o rome_n so_o that_o

in_o the_o true_a succession_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n must_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o see_v it_o can_v continue_v in_o they_o that_o have_v

this_o unity_n and_o be_v thereby_o prove_v to_o be_v one_o with_o the_o catholic_a church_n from_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v diverse_a truth_n do_v apparent_o ensue_v which_o i_o will_v brief_o open_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v but_o one_o in_o the_o father_n and_o their_o child_n be_v prove_v to_o stand_v in_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n i_o say_v in_o the_o fundamental_a point_n for_o diverse_a error_n be_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n before_o but_o these_o error_n be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o raze_v the_o foundation_n for_o a_o church_n may_v stand_v and_o be_v a_o true_a church_n though_o some_o error_n creep_v into_o it_o but_o if_o these_o error_n change_v the_o foundation_n as_o the_o error_n do_v which_o change_n the_o rule_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n then_o without_o doubt_n it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o church_n the_o error_n which_o before_o this_o time_n do_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n do_v not_o change_v the_o foundation_n because_o all_o man_n in_o the_o church_n hold_v the_o same_o old_a and_o true_a foundation_n in_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n till_o then_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n as_o man_n than_o understand_v it_o be_v general_o embrace_v but_o sure_o this_o be_v not_o a_o fundamental_a error_n for_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n be_v among_o they_o and_o save_v though_o they_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n in_o such_o a_o measure_n as_o saint_n bernard_n and_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n and_o of_o basill_n do_v acknowledge_v the_o same_o it_o appear_v hereby_o also_o 2_o 2_o that_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n as_o before_o i_o have_v declare_v do_v stand_v up_o in_o some_o ●ort_n until_o this_o time_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n for_o the_o ●rue_a church_n may_v be_v prove_v ●y_a the_o unity_n with_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o by_o the_o ●ule_n of_o faith_n which_o till_o then_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o church_n it_o appear_v likewise_o that_o 3_o 3_o the_o reform_a church_n be_v in_o the_o succession_n and_o continuation_n of_o that_o true_a ancient_a and_o only_a church_n which_o stand_v before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o shall_v endure_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o before_o that_o time_n there_o be_v as_o we_o may_v say_v two_o face_n of_o a_o church_n the_o one_o of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n the_o other_o of_o the_o church_n but_o in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n the_o court_n o●_n rome_n prevail_v therefore_o the_o church_n fall_v off_o and_o make_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n but_o the_o church_n though_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n continue_v still_o the_o same_o church_n because_o it_o hold_v still_o the_o same_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o forsake_v not_o the_o communion_n which_o before_o it_o have_v with_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n which_o now_o call_v itself_o the_o church_n and_o the_o only_a catholic_a church_n alter_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n it_o appear_v also_o that_o our_o 4_o 4_o father_n which_o before_o we_o live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v all_o necessary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n because_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n be_v hold_v then_o inviolable_a and_o albeit_o the_o friar_n the_o canonist_n and_o flatterer_n of_o the_o pope_n have_v corrupt_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o
