and_o palpable_o false_a and_o absurd_a that_o their_o falsehood_n and_o absurdity_n appear_v at_o first_o view_n and_o therefore_o require_v no_o long_a time_n or_o previous_a deliberation_n to_o detect_v they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o detect_v i_o hope_v it_o be_v no_o argument_n of_o rashness_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o such_o be_v the_o proposition_n censure_v in_o the_o decree_n which_o be_v direct_o repugnant_a to_o the_o common_a faith_n and_o universal_o receive_v doctrine_n of_o all_o sound_a christian_n tend_v plain_o to_o overthrow_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o all_o religion_n whether_o natural_a or_o reveal_v but_o if_o these_o proposition_n be_v not_o so_o gross_o and_o palpable_o absurd_a yet_o the_o condemnation_n of_o they_o can_v not_o be_v account_v injudicious_a because_o the_o head_n who_o be_v concern_v in_o that_o censure_n herein_o follow_v and_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o father_n and_o council_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a suppose_v any_o one_o now_o shall_v assert_v that_o there_o be_v two_o person_n or_o but_o one_o nature_n in_o christ_n and_o thereby_o revive_v the_o heresy_n of_o nestorius_n or_o eutyches_n will_v it_o require_v any_o long_a time_n and_o previous_a consultation_n to_o censure_v those_o position_n or_o can_v such_o a_o censure_n so_o pass_v be_v accuse_v of_o rashness_n i_o say_v no_o because_o we_o have_v the_o example_n and_o authority_n of_o two_o general_a council_n to_o justify_v such_o a_o condemnation_n which_o can_v be_v impeach_v of_o imprudence_n without_o reflect_v upon_o the_o wisdom_n and_o integrity_n not_o only_o of_o the_o father_n who_o compose_v those_o august_n assembly_n but_o likewise_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o have_v confirm_v their_o sentence_n by_o reject_v those_o error_n which_o they_o condemn_v he_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v just_o to_o be_v account_v rash_a and_o arrogant_a who_o presume_v to_o oppose_v his_o own_o single_a opinion_n to_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o father_n and_o council_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n endeavour_v fixa_fw-la refigere_fw-la to_o shake_v and_o unsettle_v those_o doctrine_n and_o those_o word_n in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v convey_v down_o to_o we_o and_o which_o be_v now_o universal_o establish_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o short_a therefore_o to_o censure_v any_o position_n which_o have_v already_o be_v condemn_v by_o any_o general_n council_n do_v not_o require_v any_o slow_a or_o tedious_a consultation_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o declare_v they_o impious_a and_o scandalous_a because_o they_o have_v be_v so_o adjudge_v former_o

who_o determination_n have_v be_v receive_v with_o respect_n and_o reverence_n by_o all_o good_a christian_n and_o make_v up_o at_o this_o day_n part_n of_o the_o establish_a doctrine_n of_o all_o
