part_n of_o it_o if_o some_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a than_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o church_n be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a but_o some_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a therefore_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a lest_o any_o man_n shall_v hasty_o except_v against_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o proposition_n as_o if_o i_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o whole_a by_o the_o part_n which_o may_v not_o be_v i_o must_v entreat_v he_o to_o remember_v that_o as_o i_o note_v before_o in_o this_o question_n we_o take_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o one_o entire_a thing_n because_o of_o that_o one_o bond_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o pope_n by_o which_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o be_v so_o join_v together_o that_o they_o all_o make_v but_o one_o body_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o bond_n he_o that_o refuse_v any_o one_o part_n reject_v the_o whole_a for_o by_o that_o his_o refusal_n he_o accuse_v their_o church_n of_o error_n and_o fail_v in_o determine_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o overthrow_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o their_o faith_n beside_o the_o deny_v of_o any_o one_o such_o article_n let_v it_o be_v in_o itself_o of_o never_o so_o small_a importance_n draw_v upon_o the_o denier_n that_o anathema_n or_o curse_n which_o seize_v on_o all_o they_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n
