of_o discipline_n these_o be_v not_o to_o be_v require_v in_o a_o persecute_a church_n some_o be_v proper_a for_o a_o time_n and_o then_o cease_v as_o work_v of_o miracle_n and_o diverse_a other_o function_n of_o the_o spirit_n some_o be_v never_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n as_o succession_n of_o bishop_n uniformity_n in_o ceremony_n etc_n etc_n but_o of_o all_o these_o note_n there_o be_v not_o one_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o she_o have_v not_o always_o practise_v open_a preach_n and_o never_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n she_o have_v convert_v but_o few_o nation_n to_o her_o religion_n from_o gentility_n and_o they_o rather_o by_o war_n than_o by_o preach_v she_o never_o have_v sense_n she_o first_o arise_v the_o minister_a of_o sacrament_n according_a to_o christ_n his_o institution_n she_o have_v hard_a matter_n in_o controversy_n not_o for_o furtherance_n of_o justice_n but_o for_o love_n of_o money_n her_o judiciary_n power_n may_v be_v dispense_v withal_o for_o money_n she_o have_v have_v no_o orderly_a succession_n of_o bishop_n except_o a_o whore_n be_v a_o orderly_a bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o except_o so_o many_o schism_n as_o they_o write_v of_o be_v orderly_a succession_n she_o have_v not_o uniformity_n in_o all_o ceremony_n for_o diverse_a nation_n and_o diverse_a church_n in_o these_o nation_n have_v diverse_a ceremony_n as_o sarum_n york_n bangor_n etc_n etc_n in_o england_n she_o have_v not_o unity_n in_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o determine_v of_o one_o of_o the_o great_a article_n of_o popish_a faith_n whether_o the_o pope_n be_v above_o the_o church_n she_o have_v no_o holy_a function_n of_o god_n his_o spirit_n but_o profane_a usage_n of_o man_n invention_n she_o have_v no_o true_a miracle_n but_o the_o power_n of_o antichrist_n in_o lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n she_o have_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o god_n his_o word_n which_o submit_v the_o same_o to_o her_o own_o corrupt_a and_o changeable_a judgement_n she_o be_v not_o bewtify_v with_o estate_n commend_v in_o scripture_n as_o apostle_n evangelist_n prophet_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n but_o with_o pope_n cardinal_n monk_n canon_n friar_n etc_n etc_n in_o steed_n of_o virgin_n she_o have_v filthy_a strumpet_n her_o nun_n or_o else_o such_o foolish_a virgin_n as_o bring_v no_o oil_n in_o their_o lamp_n she_o have_v no_o martyr_n but_o obstinate_a traitor_n as_o becket_n fisher_n more_o etc_n etc_n she_o have_v no_o confessor_n of_o truth_n though_o she_o have_v ten_o thousand_o maintainer_n of_o salshood_n and_o lie_n wherefore_o if_o these_o be_v the_o note_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v that_o same_o 3_o prove_v unto_o i_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n or_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v this_o church_n and_o no_o other_o in_o all_o controversy_n and_o doubt_v raise_v

one_o of_o those_o note_n which_o you_o count_v to_o be_v mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n be_v proper_a to_o your_o church_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o truth_n neither_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v obey_v in_o any_o thing_n and_o as_o for_o doubt_n that_o arise_v by_o difficulty_n of_o scripture_n or_o contention_n of_o heresy_n must_v be_v resolve_v and_o determine_v as_o it_o be_v

scripture_n for_o there_o be_v never_o heresy_n but_o there_o be_v as_o great_a doubt_n of_o the_o church_n as_o of_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n only_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o stay_n of_o a_o
