rule_n of_o faith_n which_o prove_v that_o our_o father_n living_n and_o die_v in_o popery_n before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v the_o mean_n to_o be_v save_v which_o mean_n be_v now_o take_v

no_o church_n because_o we_o have_v not_o unity_n in_o the_o faith_n and_o these_o division_n show_v the_o breach_n of_o unity_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o disagreement_n in_o

because_o they_o hold_v one_o and_o the_o fame_n rule_n of_o faith_n with_o the_o catholic_a church_n with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n before_o the_o trent_n council_n but_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v some_o sect_n which_o do_v not_o full_o and_o entire_o hold_v this_o rule_n of_o faith_n then_o will_v we_o disclaim_v communion_n with_o they_o
