A15093 The way to the true church wherein the principall motiues perswading according to Romanisme and questions touching the nature and authoritie of the church and scriptures, are familiarly disputed, and driuen to their issues, where, this day they sticke betweene the Papists and vs: contriued into an answer to a popish discourse concerning the rule of faith and the marks of the church. And published to admonish such as decline to papistrie of the weake and vncertaine grounds, whereupon they haue ventured their soules.

with_o a_o eternal_a night_n yet_o nothing_o will_v stay_v our_o adversary_n from_o boast_v of_o their_o monk_n for_o all_o this_o but_o their_o holiness_n at_o every_o turn_n must_v be_v cast_v in_o

their_o spiritual_a disease_n and_o prescribe_v to_o every_o one_o fit_a exercise_n for_o their_o practice_n and_o progress_n in_o virtue_n final_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o church_n be_v such_o that_o even_o simple_a protestant_n when_o they_o see_v a_o catholic_a do_v any_o thing_n amiss_o will_v ordinary_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o do_v thus_o so_o that_o these_o that_o sin_n in_o this_o

to_o be_v dead_a and_o not_o alive_a the_o answer_n 1_o here_o you_o see_v this_o jesuit_n prefer_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o church_n before_o we_o because_o it_o flow_v from_o their_o doctrine_n which_o we_o he_o say_v do_v not_o wherein_o i_o blame_v his_o memory_n that_o 24._o that_o §._o 24._o have_v before_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n to_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n and_o make_v

forget_v himself_o much_a for_o if_o he_o can_v prove_v his_o holiness_n nor_o distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o holiness_n of_o a_o false_a church_n as_o he_o conceit_v we_o to_o be_v but_o by_o the_o
