anger_n and_o malice_n and_o indignation_n for_o dispute_n alas_o continue_v not_o because_o truth_n be_v not_o visible_a but_o because_o man_n will_v not_o submit_v their_o sense_n to_o grace_n but_o strain_v it_o in_o stead_n of_o end_v dispute_n to_o keep_v they_o up_o and_o render_v invisible_a the_o most_o visible_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o our_o present_a case_n if_o his_o majesty_n in_o stead_n of_o as_o visible_a have_v say_v the_o church_n be_v more_o visible_a than_o scripture_n he_o will_v have_v have_v a_o very_a great_a man_n to_o take_v his_o part_n for_o which_o do_v the_o answerer_n think_v be_v the_o more_o visible_a of_o the_o two_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v or_o that_o by_o which_o it_o be_v see_v and_o he_o know_v who_o say_v v._n i_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n unless_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n have_v move_v i_o and_o this_o be_v in_o truth_n the_o case_n of_o every_o body_n but_o evident_o s._n augustin_n eye_n as_o good_a as_o they_o be_v do_v not_o see_v the_o scripture_n but_o by_o the_o catholic_a that_o be_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n for_o that_o the_o answerer_n know_v be_v the_o catholic_a church_n with_o which_o he_o communicate_v then_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o dispute_a will_v cease_v viz._n because_o none_o who_o dare_v believe_v what_o they_o see_v can_v call_v scripture_n be_v in_o print_n in_o question_n which_o by_o make_v nothing_o visible_a which_o can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n make_v it_o not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n for_o he_o know_v the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n all_o infidel_n and_o mahometan_n do_v actual_o call_v scripture_n in_o question_n at_o this_o day_n he_o know_v many_o christian_n have_v question_v divers_a part_n of_o it_o heretofore_o and_o he_o himself_o still_o question_n some_o as_o visible_o in_o print_n as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o to_o question_v whether_o the_o book_n in_o print_n be_v scripture_n be_v manifest_o to_o question_v whether_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n and_o so_o in_o one_o breath_n he_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o next_o it_o be_v not_o visible_a that_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n but_o we_o will_v not_o fall_v out_o about_o matter_n which_o import_v not_o but_o go_v he_o on_o what_o if_o the_o church_n who_o authority_n it_o be_v say_v they_o must_v submit_v to_o will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o believe_v what_o they_o see_v why_o then_o that_o church_n if_o he_o take_v believe_v strict_o agree_v with_o all_o mankind_n for_o as_o every_o body_n know_v that_o faith_n be_v of_o thing_n not_o see_v none_o can_v allow_v we_o proper_o believe_v 〈◊〉_d we_o see_v 〈…〉_z but_o if_o he_o take_v the_o word_n large_o i_o know_v of_o no_o

this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o believe_v the_o church_n because_o it_o be_v as_o visible_a as_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n i_o be_o sorry_a that_o to_o know_v our_o duty_n be_v not_o with_o he_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o do_v it_o we_o all_o know_v by_o the_o evangelist_n that_o christ_n leave_v commission_n to_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o by_o the_o apostle_n that_o there_o be_v pastor_n and_o doctor_n appoint_v to_o build_v we_o up_o into_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n and_o prevent_v our_o be_v circumvent_v by_o error_n and_o whatever_o he_o do_v i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o learn_v of_o those_o who_o be_v appoint_v and_o have_v commission_n from_o christ_n to_o teach_v when_o it_o be_v visible_a who_o they_o

think_v to_o pass_v in_o earnest_n be_v 1._o that_o a_o part_n be_v not_o the_o whole_a and_o the_o roman_a he_o take_v to_o be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n 2._o that_o roman_a catholic_n be_v a_o expression_n find_v neither_o in_o the_o creed_n nor_o office_n of_o baptism_n even_o at_o present_a 3._o that_o the_o roman_a do_v not_o herself_o believe_v she_o be_v the_o

of_o christian_n which_o may_v still_o continue_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o instance_n the_o holy_a bishop_n and_o martyr_n who_o he_o say_v be_v excommunicate_v heretofore_o in_o

say_v that_o the_o roman_a be_v the_o catholic_a church_n but_o that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n be_v the_o one_o church_n of_o christ._n as_o roman_n alone_o may_v signify_v the_o diocese_n under_o the_o immediate_a government_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n which_o never_o do_v nor_o can_v more_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n than_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n or_o

believe_v as_o her_o communion_n believe_v whether_o they_o be_v join_v in_o external_n communion_n or_o no._n for_o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o his_o majesty_n talk_v all_o along_o of_o matter_n of_o

this_o roman_a catholic_n ever_o the_o less_o visible_o the_o one_o church_n of_o christ_n because_o a_o part_n be_v not_o a_o whole_a of_o what_o will_v he_o make_v that_o whole_a but_o of_o all_o the_o part_n and_o do_v not_o catholic_n signify_v all_o the_o part_n or_o be_v it_o the_o less_o catholic_n be_v any_o part_n take_v out_o because_o the_o particular_a roman_a be_v put_v in_o by_o the_o way_n because_o he_o often_o mention_n the_o roman_a church_n without_o add_v catholic_n let_v i_o here_o to_o avoid_v repetition_n declare_v once_o for_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v understand_v he_o of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n wherever_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n determine_v not_o the_o sense_n to_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o rome_n for_o he_o mean_v not_o i_o suppose_v to_o talk_v of_o one_o church_n while_o his_o majesty_n talk_v of_o another_o upon_o the_o second_o head_n he_o ask_v if_o those_o who_o make_v the_o creed_n for_o our_o direction_n have_v intend_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n why_o be_v it_o not_o so_o express_v he_o may_v have_v answer_v himself_o for_o he_o know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o language_n always_o change_v with_o time_n as_o there_o be_v no_o such_o dream_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n when_o the_o creed_n be_v make_v as_o now_o it_o have_v be_v a_o very_a superfluous_a and_o a_o very_a unaccountable_a piece_n of_o care_n to_o have_v say_v roman_a in_o a_o word_n by_o itself_o which_o be_v already_o say_v by_o the_o word_n catholic_n and_o so_o by_o all_o the_o world_n understand_v now_o there_o be_v who_o will_v have_v she_o some_o a_o corrupt_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n some_o none_o at_o all_o who_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o let_v people_n know_v they_o take_v she_o for_o a_o part_n and_o a_o sound_n and_o the_o principal_a part_n and_o yet_o will_v save_v word_n have_v light_n on_o a_o thrifty_a way_n of_o say_v all_o in_o short_a by_o roman-catholic_a he_o say_v beside_o that_o this_o limitation_n as_o he_o call_v it_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o christ_n catholic_a church_n to_o the_o roman_a be_v never_o put_v to_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a in_o any_o

not_o in_o the_o office_n of_o baptism_n that_o it_o be_v require_v that_o they_o believe_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n as_o if_o the_o roman_a baptism_n by_o require_v belief_n of_o the_o catholic_a do_v not_o require_v belief_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n if_o he_o think_v in_o earnest_n that_o it_o do_v not_o let_v he_o present_v a_o man_n to_o this_o baptism_n who_o profess_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n and_o try_v whether_o his_o profess_v to_o believe_v the_o catholic_a church_n will_v obtain_v it_o he_o reflect_v not_o that_o the_o limitation_n which_o be_v in_o this_o expression_n roman_a catholic_a church_n come_v not_o from_o roman_a but_o from_o church_n that_o word_n indeed_o always_o limit_n the_o expression_n to_o those_o who_o believe_v and_o sometime_o to_o those_o who_o practise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ._n roman_n neither_o make_v nor_o mar_v as_o to_o limitation_n but_o own_v the_o roman_n for_o such_o christian_n take_v in_o those_o who_o injustice_n will_v keep_v out_o be_v it_o seem_v limitation_n in_o his_o language_n as_o it_o grieve_v he_o in_o likelihood_n that_o this_o expression_n as_o visible_a as_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n shall_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o retort_v it_o upon_o she_o but_o very_o unlucky_o choose_v to_o do_v it_o in_o a_o assertion_n contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o himself_o and_o by_o a_o argument_n contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n not_o except_v his_o own_o he_o say_v then_o in_o his_o three_o head_n that_o it_o be_v to_o he_o equal_o visible_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n itself_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o one_o catholic_a church_n mention_v in_o the_o two_o creed_n and_o this_o every_o body_n but_o he_o plain_o see_v it_o do_v and_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o argument_n because_o if_o it_o do_v it_o must_v void_a all_o baptism_n out_o of_o its_o communion_n which_o it_o have_v never_o yet_o do_v when_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o all_o the_o church_n agree_v it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v

truth_n be_v to_o say_v in_o one_o breath_n that_o the_o donatist_n be_v not_o catholic_o because_o they_o rebaptise_v and_o in_o the_o next_o that_o roman_a catholic_o can_v believe_v themselves_o catholic_o because_o they_o do_v not_o be_v a_o cross_a piece_n of_o business_n and_o much_o too_o hard_a for_o i_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v understand_v the_o very_a reason_n he_o give_v why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v believe_v themselves_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o in_o not_o void_v the_o baptism_n of_o heretic_n they_o do_v as_o the_o primitive_a catholic_a church_n do_v and_o have_v i_o make_v such_o a_o argument_n for_o a_o friend_n i_o be_o afraid_a he_o will_v have_v think_v i_o play_v booty_n the_o answerer_n nevertheless_o strive_v to_o make_v it_o good_a by_o this_o discourse_n as_o long_o as_o baptism_n do_v enter_v person_n into_o the_o catholic_a church_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o who_o have_v the_o true_a form_n of_o baptism_n though_o out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n shall_v be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o yet_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o roman_a and_o catholic_a be_v all_o one_o as_o it_o must_v be_v if_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v the_o catholic_a and_o apostolic_a church_n profess_v in_o the_o creed_n this_o if_o i_o understand_v it_o be_v in_o short_a person_n baptise_a out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_a but_o not_o of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n and_o therefore_o the_o catholic_a and_o roman_n catholic_n be_v not_o the_o same_o church_n he_o be_v not_o i_o perceive_v aware_a that_o he_o suppose_v what_o he_o shall_v prove_v and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v prove_v it_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o supposition_n for_o he_o can_v not_o make_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a not_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n unless_o he_o suppose_v that_o those_o be_v two_o different_a church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a point_n in_o dispute_n which_o he_o shall_v prove_v and_o which_o he_o put_v for_o prove_v in_o his_o conclusion_n but_o we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o oversight_n i_o wonder_v more_o how_o it_o can_v escape_v he_o that_o the_o baptise_a person_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v as_o much_o member_n of_o both_o church_n as_o of_o either_o i_o speak_v in_o his_o language_n as_o if_o they_o be_v different_a church_n that_o his_o argument_n may_v go_v on_o those_o person_n be_v not_o true_o member_n either_o of_o the_o catholic_a or_o roman_a catholic_a church_n but_o as_o far_o as_o baptism_n make_v member_n they_o be_v altogether_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n as_o of_o the_o catholic_a and_o he_o if_o he_o will_v recollect_v himself_o know_v very_o well_o that_o both_o point_n have_v be_v long_o since_o determine_v and_o that_o by_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n the_o old_a contest_v about_o rebaptisation_n put_v it_o past_a dispute_n that_o they_o be_v not_o true_o member_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o contest_v be_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v member_n whether_o by_o a_o new_a

even_o to_o excommunication_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o answerer_n how_o those_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n who_o be_v in_o already_o again_o that_o they_o be_v nevertheless_o as_o much_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n though_o baptize_v out_o of_o its_o communion_n and_o so_o of_o the_o roman_a though_o baptize_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o baptism_n can_v make_v they_o he_o know_v too_o be_v carry_v against_o the_o rebaptisers_a by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n in_o who_o judgement_n the_o whole_a church_n ever_o since_o have_v acquiesce_v
