turris_n to_o go_v 156●_n hist._n council_n trid._n lib._n 7_o ●_o d._n 156●_n because_o he_o have_v be_v too_o free_a in_o declare_v his_o opinion_n for_o the_o jus_fw-la divinum_fw-la of_o the_o

grave_a comical_a and_o tragical_a accusation_n of_o the_o simony_n of_o the_o pope_n for_o divers_a age_n together_o and_o since_o no_o man_n can_v certain_o know_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o

to_o be_v call_v as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o and_o this_o uncertainty_n be_v manifest_a in_o a_o instance_n that_o can_v never_o be_v wipe_v off_o for_o when_o liberius_n have_v subscribe_v

of_o christendom_n 4._o there_o be_v one_o pope_n who_o be_v make_v head_n of_o the_o church_n before_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n it_o be_v constantine_n the_o second_o who_o certain_o succeed_v not_o

shall_v then_o be_v a_o note_n of_o the_o church_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v from_o some_o of_o the_o roman_a lawyer_n for_o the_o divine_n know_v it_o not_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v this_o account_n with_o any_o question_n about_o the_o female-head_n of_o their_o church_n i_o need_v not_o seek_v for_o matter_n i_o be_o press_v with_o too_o much_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v omit_v very_o many_o other_o consideration_n about_o the_o nullity_n and_o insufficiency_n and_o impiety_n and_o irregularity_n of_o many_o pope_n and_o consider_v their_o other_o note_n of_o the_o church_n to_o try_v if_o they_o can_v fix_v this_o inquiry_n upon_o any_o certainty_n bellarmine_n reckon_v fifteen_o note_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o mighty_a hue_n and_o cry_n after_o a_o thing_n that_o he_o

church_n and_o the_o greek_n give_v the_o same_o title_n to_o their_o church_n nay_o all_o convention_n of_o heretic_n ancient_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v quit_v bellarmine_n of_o this_o

most_o learned_o but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v a_o church_n in_o paradise_n be_v as_o good_a a_o argument_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n as_o for_o rome_n for_o we_o derive_v from_o they_o as_o certain_o as_o do_v the_o italian_n and_o have_v as_o much_o of_o adam_n religion_n as_o they_o have_v but_o a_o church_n may_v have_v be_v very_o ancient_a and_o yet_o become_v no_o church_n and_o without_o separate_n from_o a_o great_a church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o great_a example_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n unless_o she_o take_v

respect_v the_o time_n past_a or_o the_o time_n to_o come_v if_o the_o time_n past_a than_o the_o church_n of_o britain_n be_v christian_n before_o rome_n be_v and_o bless_v be_v god_n be_v so_o at_o

of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o we_o may_v possible_o come_v to_o know_v it_o by_o this_o sign_n many_o age_n after_o we_o be_v dead_a because_o she_o will_v last_v always_o but_o this_o sign_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v it_o will_v prove_v our_o church_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o

all_o may_v so_o continue_v long_o 4._o amplitude_n be_v no_o note_n of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o world_n be_v arian_n and_o be_v as_o little_a now_o because_o that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o europe_n be_v papal_a 5._o succession_n of_o bishop_n be_v a_o excellent_a conservatory_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n but_o it_o be_v as_o notorious_a in_o the_o greek_a church_n as_o in_o the_o roman_a and_o therefore_o can_v signify_v which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n unless_o they_o be_v both_o true_a and_o then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v claim_v by_o this_o tenure_n as_o have_v since_o her_o being_n christian_n a_o succession_n of_o bishop_n never_o interrupt_v but_o as_o all_o other_o have_v be_v in_o persecution_n 6._o consent_v in_o doctrine_n with_o the_o ancient_a church_n may_v be_v a_o good_a sign_n or_o a_o bad_a as_o it_o happen_v but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v not_o and_o never_o can_v prove_v the_o pure_a and_o prime_a antiquity_n to_o be_v of_o her_o side_n 7._o union_n of_o member_n among_o themselves_o and_o with_o their_o head_n be_v very_o good_a if_o the_o member_n be_v unite_v in_o truth_n for_o else_o it_o may_v be_v a_o conspiracy_n and_o if_o by_o head_n be_v mean_v jesus_n christ_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o only_a true_a sign_n of_o the_o church_n but_o if_o by_o head_n be_v mean_v the_o roman_a pope_n it_o may_v be_v ecclesia_fw-la malignantium_fw-la and_o antichrist_n may_v sit_v in_o the_o chair_n but_o the_o uncertainty_n
