they_o of_o the_o trinity_n incarnation_n passion_n say_v our_o saviour_n do_v strange_a thing_n in_o virtue_n of_o some_o constellation_n and_o deliver_v these_o thing_n so_o oratorical_o that_o

whether_o any_o error_n in_o sixteen_o age_n have_v creep_v in_o this_o very_a thing_n be_v above_o nature_n for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o excellency_n beyond_o the_o nature_n of_o corruptible_a

if_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o question_n be_v resolve_v that_o no_o error_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o hold_v her_o faith_n upon_o that_o tenure_n and_o true_o if_o the_o author_n

he_o shall_v find_v but_o two_o tradition_n and_o scripture_n and_o the_o catholic_a only_o to_o rely_v upon_o tradition_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n upon_o scripture_n and_o also_o shall_v he_o see_v that_o rely_v upon_o scripture_n can_v draw_v to_o a_o unity_n those_o who_o rely_v upon_o it_o and_o that_o more_o than_o one_o can_v rely_v upon_o tradition_n which_o when_o i_o have_v consider_v

that_o this_o be_v christ_n doctrine_n and_o that_o which_o his_o apostle_n teach_v and_o to_o disagree_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a since_o all_o their_o father_n hear_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o

in_o what_o those_o believe_v who_o have_v hear_v they_o and_o they_o who_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o that_o hear_v they_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a i_o say_v that_o the_o one_o part_n who_o seek_v for_o christian_a truth_n in_o learned_a discourse_n must_v needs_o forgo_v the_o most_o certain_a and_o easy_a way_n of_o attain_v unto_o what_o they_o aim_v at_o and_o likewise_o evident_a that_o who_o keep_v themselves_o due_o and_o careful_o unto_o this_o principle_n can_v possible_o in_o any_o continuance_n of_o time_n swerve_v from_o the_o truth_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o his_o church_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a difficulty_n be_v reduce_v unto_o this_o whether_o the_o church_n for_o so_o many_o age_n be_v perpetual_o preserve_v in_o this_o principle_n that_o what_o she_o receive_v from_o her_o forefather_n be_v that_o she_o must_v believe_v and_o deliver_v unto_o her_o posterity_n a_o thing_n so_o graft_v in_o nature_n which_o make_v we_o receive_v our_o

the_o manner_n explicate_v there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o his_o church_n to_o swerve_v from_o his_o truth_n but_o by_o swerve_v from_o the_o most_o plain_a the_o most_o natural_a and_o most_o evident_a and_o conclude_a rule_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o that_o but_o one_o and_o most_o easy_a so_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o from_o the_o present_a church_n we_o can_v draw_v the_o like_a forcible_a

have_v never_o so_o little_o cast_v they_o upon_o this_o present_a religion_n of_o christendom_n to_o wit_n that_o there_o be_v one_o congregation_n or_o church_n which_o lay_v claim_v to_o christ_n
