thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o the_o way_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o true_a church_n as_o a.s._n affirm_v and_o by_o his_o many_o argument_n

you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o abraham_n but_o now_o you_o go_v about_o to_o kill_v i_o thus_o do_v not_o abraham_n so_o say_v i_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o she_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o one_o invisible_a head_n christ_n as_o the_o true_a church_n be_v than_o she_o will_v have_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n who_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o

although_o that_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v one_o in_o subjection_n to_o the_o pope_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n because_o christ_n never_o ordain_v a_o

etc._n etc._n luk._n 9.56_o but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o wash_v from_o idolatry_n nor_o free_a from_o murder_n as_o her_o worship_v of_o idol_n or_o image_n do_v testify_v and_o as_o

first_o chapter_n viz._n every_o man_n as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v in_o christ_n and_o a_o member_n of_o his_o body_n be_v holy_a and_o a_o saint_n though_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o a_o sinner_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o all_o the_o sectary_n in_o the_o world_n will_v join_v with_o he_o in_o that_o particular_a therefore_o he_o need_v not_o so_o much_o ●ry_n against_o they_o but_o the_o true_a church_n will_v not_o own_o that_o doctrine_n neither_o can_v i_o own_o i●_n because_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n testify_v against_o it_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o be_v both_o a_o saint_n and_o a_o sinner_n at_o one_o season_n for_o if_o

the_o tare_n but_o elect_v and_o precious_a and_o all_o that_o be_v live_v or_o precious_a be_v the_o good_a therefore_o the_o true_a church_n be_v build_v of_o the_o good_a only_o three_o but_o if_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o a.s._n in_o his_o second_o page_n affirm_v be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a then_o according_a to_o his_o own_o

yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o land_n there_o be_v none_o compose_v or_o gather_v into_o the_o vessel_n but_o the_o good_a only_o and_o the_o bad_a be_v cast_v away_o matth._n 13.48_o therefore_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o of_o the_o good_a only_o five_o but_o if_o you_o object_n that_o the_o tare_n and_o wheat_n be_v both_o to_o grow_v together_o in_o the_o field_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v so_o until_o the_o harvest_n and_o the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n mat._n 13.39_o but_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o of_o the_o wo●ld_n joh._n 17.14_o

say_v that_o there_o be_v some_o in_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n that_o be_v false_a brethren_n and_o these_o be_v bad_a i_o answer_v though_o they_o be_v among_o they_o yet_o

of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v supreme_a head_n and_o governor_n i_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v infallible_a that_o i_o

without_o interruption_n a●_n a.s._n say_v she_o have_v than_o she_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n be_v interrupt_v since_o the_o resurrection_n and_o
