the_o law_n of_o moses_n itself_o which_o be_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o prediction_n of_o the_o holy_a prophet_n institute_v one_o only_a law_n and_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o bitter_a passion_n establish_v one_o only_a church_n which_o only_o possess_v true_a religion_n and_o prescribe_v according_a to_o his_o institution_n the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o this_o i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o believe_v christian_a religion_n to_o be_v true_a will_v deny_v chapter_n 4._o that_o among_o christian_n they_o only_o that_o profess_v and_o embrace_v the_o catholic_a faith_n and_o religion_n be_v in_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o do_v true_o worship_v god_n in_o the_o chapter_n next_o before_o i_o have_v declare_v that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o true_a religion_n be_v only_o to_o be_v find_v among_o christian_n now_o i_o go_v further_o and_o affirm_v that_o all_o christian_n can_v true_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o these_o

christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o use_v not_o any_o argument_n take_v out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o they_o with_o one_o consent_n reject_v now_o i_o be_o to_o deal_v with_o heretic_n who_o
