his_o method_n and_o representation_n without_o digresson_n or_o provoke_a reflection_n ii_o but_o i_o must_v declare_v myself_o very_o much_o unsatisfied_a with_o the_o method_n he_o have_v take_v to_o clear_v his_o party_n from_o these_o misrepresentation_n for_o 1._o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o draw_v a_o double_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o one_o he_o pretend_v to_o

where_o it_o be_v never_o receive_v but_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v why_o our_o representation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o church_n as_o they_o from_o the_o council_n of_o

and_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o his_o representation_n rather_o than_o to_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n he_o say_v the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o
