to_o herself_o the_o great_a foundation_n of_o their_o doctrine_n be_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o speak_a judge_n to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n now_o they_o have_v no_o such_o judge_n for_o

before_o i_o will_v descend_v to_o particular_n there_o be_v one_o general_a prejudice_n that_o work_v most_o universal_o on_o weak_a mind_n to_o be_v remove_v which_o be_v that_o the_o true_a church_n can_v err_v if_o then_o it_o be_v make_v appear_v unanswerable_o that_o the_o true_a church_n may_v err_v and_o that_o in_o a_o most_o weighty_a point_n all_o these_o argument_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o our_o saviour_n day_n be_v the_o true_a church_n can_v be_v deny_v for_o our_o saviour_n own_v it_o to_o be_v such_o he_o join_v with_o
