A18305	The second part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholicke VVherein the religion established in our Church of England (for the points here handled) is apparently iustified by authoritie of Scripture, and testimonie of the auncient Church, against the vaine cauillations collected by Doctor Bishop seminary priest, as out of other popish writers, so especially out of Bellarmine, and published vnder the name of The marrow and pith of many large volumes, for the oppugning thereof.

he_o may_v fulfil_v his_o promise_n and_o no_o more_o be_v permit_v to_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o than_o it_o be_v know_v to_o god_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v so_o that_o he_o be_v not_o
