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

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

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

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

other_o they_o be_v receive_v into_o it_o and_o to_o think_v they_o do_v not_o agree_v in_o this_o be_v to_o make_v very_o wise_a man_n of_o they_o man_n who_o fall_v out_o with_o one_o another_o 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 and_o he_o stand_v single_a against_o that_o judgement_n when_o he_o think_v a_o man_n baptize_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v not_o a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o much_o as_o baptism_n make_v a_o member_n and_o as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o be_v baptize_v in_o her_o communion_n in_o truth_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o dispute_v of_o but_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o baptism_n enter_v the_o baptise_a into_o the_o catholic_a church_n if_o he_o mean_v that_o those_o who_o be_v due_o baptize_v by_o man_n who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n need_v no_o other_o baptism_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o catholic_a church_n he_o say_v very_o true_a and_o no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o whole_a church_n have_v long_o since_o say_v before_o he_o neither_o do_v they_o need_v any_o other_o baptism_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o roman_a and_o if_o he_o will_v have_v this_o call_v a_o entry_n and_o the_o baptise_a call_v member_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n for_o i_o think_v it_o time_n lose_v to_o quarrel_v about_o the_o name_n of_o thing_n when_o we_o know_v what_o they_o signify_v but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o

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

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

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

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
