and_o i_o judge_v not_o but_o i_o do_v perceive_v this_o that_o it_o have_v expose_v he_o much_o and_o that_o not_o only_o to_o such_o a_o saucy_a man_n as_o mr._n alsop_n to_o style_v he_o this_o

there_o be_v no_o such_o head_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o his_o cause_n be_v lose_v i_o will_v sum_v up_o my_o answer_n again_o the_o doctor_n be_v determination_n be_v we_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o any_o such_o regent_n part._n for_o a_o national_a consent_n be_v as_o sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o national_a church_n as_o a_o universal_a

he_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v it_o of_o the_o former_a consent_n because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o consent_n as_o that_o imaginable_a in_o regard_n to_o the_o catholic_n church_n there_o can_v be_v no_o come_n together_o possible_o of_o the_o community_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n to_o agree_v to_o such_o a_o constitution_n the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o

the_o catholic_n church_n visible_a in_o its_o nature_n can_v never_o be_v organical_a it_o have_v a_o head_n and_o all_o the_o particular_a church_n in_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o part_n of_o it_o nay_o there_o be_v at_o first_o universal_a officer_n gift_v with_o proper_a gift_n as_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o office_n but_o these_o be_v only_o to_o gather_v

such_o constitution_n as_o this_o by_o consent_n imaginable_a which_o i_o shall_v say_v principal_o as_o to_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o true_a head_n of_o this_o church_n be_v not_o choose_v by_o man_n consent_n and_o the_o false_a head_n i_o hope_v we_o be_v never_o like_a to_o choose_v but_o because_o upon_o supposition_n that_o the_o doctor_n consent_n some_o way_n or_o other_o as_o
