which_o the_o power_n of_o his_o wit_n and_o learning_n be_v not_o able_a to_o uphold_v nay_o he_o have_v in_o this_o controversy_n take_v a_o head_n and_o single_v himself_o from_o the_o common_a

to_o be_v hold_v by_o the_o church_n yet_o the_o former_a distinction_n be_v further_o enrich_v with_o this_o clause_n take_v out_o of_o canus_n that_o god_n permit_v not_o that_o decree_n for_o the_o whole_a church_n as_o if_o by_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n the_o church_n like_a to_o the_o moon_n may_v be_v for_o the_o great_a part_n thereof_o darken_a and_o seduce_v by_o such_o heretical_a

the_o abomination_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o carry_v headlong_o into_o heresy_n by_o any_o sentence_n or_o decree_v papal_a six_o there_o be_v yet_o include_v and_o reserve_v in_o this_o distinction_n one_o question_n more_o as_o conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n but_o not_o express_v in_o plain_a term_n which_o at_o time_n of_o exigent_n when_o they_o be_v press_v they_o forget_v not_o to_o cleave_v unto_o which_o be_v that_o the_o church_n here_o mention_v be_v and_o must_v be_v the_o catholic_a romish_a church_n as_o if_o that_o particular_a of_o rome_n be_v the_o general_a of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o romish_a alone_o have_v this_o eminent_a exception_n above_o all_o other_o church_n that_o the_o member_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conclude_v or_o enthrall_v by_o every_o decree_n of_o their_o head_n i_o can_v yet_o have_v do_v with_o this_o seaven-headed_n subtle_a serpet_n this_o deceitful_a distinction_n allow_v it_o in_o his_o perfect_a shape_n and_o close_o it_o together_o in_o all_o his_o joint_n god_n permit_v not_o the_o pope_n as_o pope_n to_o decree_v heretical_a doctrine_n to_o be_v hold_v by_o the_o church_n and_o for_o the_o whole_a church_n what_o have_v all_o this_o more_o than_o a_o equivalence_n to_o this_o say_n god_n permit_v not_o the_o devil_n to_o have_v power_n to_o destroy_v the_o elect_a and_o faithful_a and_o as_o when_o the_o
