that_o you_o come_v of_o courtesy_n to_o see_v i_o i_o must_v thank_v you_o and_o be_o right_o sorry_a my_o leisure_n do_v not_o serve_v i_o to_o have_v further_a speech_n with_o you_o you_o deliver_v unto_o i_o two_o proposition_n as_o the_o grounde-worke_n of_o your_o opinion_n the_o one_o that_o the_o principle_n of_o your_o doctrine_n be_v ground_v firm_o upon_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o antiquity_n universality_n and_o consent_n do_v plain_o make_v manifest_a unto_o you_o the_o other_o that_o the_o sign_n give_v of_o a_o true_a church_n by_o they_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o sincere_a preach_n of_o the_o word_n the_o right_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n religious_a prayer_n &_o wholesome_a discipline_n be_v no_o true_a sign_n of_o a_o true_a church_n but_o so_o to_o affirm_v they_o be_v a_o error_n in_o logic_n for_o that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o they_o and_o not_o they_o of_o the_o church_n for_o your_o first_o proposition_n that_o the_o error_n thereof_o may_v better_o appear_v i_o will_v brief_o handle_v these_o 3._o point_n first_o that_o neither_o the_o catholic_a church_n nor_o the_o doctrine_n

first_o that_o of_o a_o particular_a church_n no_o better_a judgement_n can_v be_v give_v whether_o it_o be_v sound_o or_o unsound_a or_o of_o two_o particular_a church_n which_o be_v the_o sound_a

be_v impure_a and_o corrupte_v that_o church_n be_v to_o be_v judge_v the_o impure_a and_o corrupte_v member_n &_o where_o these_o be_v not_o at_o all_o there_o be_v to_o be_v account_v no_o visible_a church_n to_o be_v at_o all_o thus_o to_o affirm_v be_v a_o error_n in_o logic_n but_o a_o truth_n in_o divinity_n second_o that_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o right_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o sincerity_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o godly_a exercise_n of_o the_o discipline_n in_o any_o church_n the_o only_o perfect_v
