will_v prove_v that_o their_o doctrine_n for_o which_o they_o separate_v from_o we_o and_o wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n the_o argument_n be_v in_o

fallible_a doctrine_n therefore_o protestancy_n as_o it_o be_v proper_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n that_o protestancy_n or_o the_o

all_o agree_v in_o the_o fundamental_a article_n as_o they_o unanimous_o confess_v we_o only_o differ_v in_o inferior_a truth_n wherein_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v err_v but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o point_n not_o fundamental_a and_o inferior_a truth_n be_v fallible_a doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v their_o constant_a doctrine_n also_o that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v it_o the_o catholic_n or_o protestant_n can_v err_v and_o be_v fallible_a in_o article_n not_o fundamental_a and_o inferior_a truth_n therefore_o all_o your_o protestancy_n be_v but_o fallible_a doctrine_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n i_o confess_v ingenuous_o i_o think_v this_o argument_n can_v be_v solid_o answer_v for_o be_v it_o not_o certain_a that_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o as_o you_o say_v only_o in_o not_o fundamental_a article_n be_v it_o not_o also_o your_o doctrine_n that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v fallible_a in_o article_n not_o fundamental_a how_o can_v it_o then_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o only_o in_o fallible_a doctrine_n the_o doctrine_n wherein_o you_o differ_v from_o we_o be_v protestancy_n and_o nothing_o else_o be_v proper_o

i_o infer_v that_o you_o can_v without_o blasphemy_n look_v for_o your_o doctrine_n in_o scripture_n no_o text_n or_o word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v allege_v for_o protestancy_n nor_o any_o other_o
