for_o it_o be_v that_o from_o which_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v 4._o pretend_v to_o receive_v all_o her_o doctrine_n nor_o have_v we_o any_o cause_n to_o decline_v it_o for_o the_o

can_v stand_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o doctrine_n we_o have_v all_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o they_o have_v in_o the_o french_a church_n why_o they_o reject_v it_o in_o matter_n of_o discipline_n that_o be_v if_o they_o deny_v it_o to_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o general_n council_n the_o english_a though_o of_o their_o

we_o can_v give_v infallibility_n to_o any_o but_o to_o they_o to_o who_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o that_o be_v if_o to_o any_o council_n to_o such_o a_o one_o as_o represent_v the_o whole_a

not_o to_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o such_o a_o council_n for_o the_o french_a church_n be_v represent_v at_o trent_n in_o some_o sort_n though_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o satisfy_v with_o it_o but_o we_o neither_o be_v represent_v nor_o can_v be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v neither_o after_o nor_o before_o the_o reformation_n and_o though_o as_o it_o be_v 132._o say_v the_o french_a have_v since_o receive_v the_o doctrinal_a decree_n of_o that_o council_n that_o be_v they_o have_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v antecedent_o true_a in_o those_o term_n in_o which_o the_o council_n define_v they_o though_o not_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o true_a for_o have_v be_v define_v in_o that_o council_n we_o can_v pretend_v that_o here_o in_o england_n it_o ever_o have_v so_o much_o as_o that_o low_a

not_o much_o more_o than_o half_a its_o session_n and_o though_o it_o be_v quote_v with_o respect_n by_o the_o synod_n of_o 9_o london_n in_o queen_n marys_n day_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v then_o any_o formal_a reception_n of_o the_o council_n nor_o if_o there_o have_v be_v can_v that_o have_v oblige_v aftercomer_n to_o receive_v whatsoever_o shall_v pass_v

to_o he_o that_o consider_v the_o case_n in_o these_o circumstance_n it_o can_v seem_v reasonable_a that_o king_n edward_n bishop_n shall_v have_v think_v themselves_o oblige_v by_o the_o synodical_a

with_o all_o the_o malignity_n of_o that_o which_o we_o call_v proper_o popery_n it_o be_v also_o against_o the_o ancient_a practice_n of_o christianity_n for_o the_o christian_n when_o they_o come_v

to_o roman_a catholic_n it_o have_v be_v always_o say_v that_o they_o suffer_v not_o for_o religion_n but_o treason_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a plain_a and_o satisfactory_a answer_n while_o those_o

that_o all_o the_o law_n here_o in_o england_n against_o roman_a catholic_n be_v severe_o and_o indifferent_o put_v in_o execution_n and_o i_o be_o as_o sure_a that_o nothing_o will_v trouble_v they_o

in_o it_o have_v plain_o show_v that_o even_o they_o dare_v not_o trust_v their_o own_o subtlety_n when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v practise_v nay_o the_o pope_n himself_o who_o have_v forbid_v they_o
