participant_a each_o of_o other_o rather_o i_o conclude_v that_o see_v many_o of_o the_o best_a learned_a protestant_n do_v grant_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n though_o peradventure_o faulty_a in_o some_o thing_n and_o contrary_o not_o only_o the_o catholic_n but_o also_o the_o puritan_n anabaptist_n brownist_n etc._n etc._n do_v all_o deny_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v more_o safe_a and_o secure_a to_o become_v a_o roman_n catholic_n who_o have_v a_o true_a church_n by_o consent_n of_o both_o party_n than_o to_o remain_v a_o protestant_n who_o do_v alone_o plead_v their_o own_o cause_n have_v all_o the_o other_o against_o they_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o

the_o plain_a testimony_n of_o those_o ancient_n as_o if_o their_o new_a censure_n be_v sufficient_a to_o disauthorize_v the_o other_o ancient_a sentence_n and_o so_o i_o remember_v danaeus_n in_o

some_o few_o place_n in_o author_n which_o prima_n fancy_n seem_v to_o favour_v protestant_n as_o many_o heretic_n allege_v some_o text_n of_o scripture_n who_o sound_n of_o word_n seem_v to_o make_v for_o their_o opinion_n but_o be_v well_o examine_v and_o interpret_v according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n and_o according_a to_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o author_n where_o they_o do_v more_o full_o explain_v their_o opinion_n so_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v wrest_v and_o from_o the_o purpose_n in_o fine_a i_o find_v myself_o evident_o convince_v both_o by_o many_o
