he_o upon_o christian_a religion_n be_v false_a and_o consequent_o that_o what_o ever_o

he_o produce_v in_o proof_n thereof_o be_v void_a and_o to_o demonstrate_v this_o unto_o he_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o such_o a_o charge_n do_v contradict_v a_o principle_n viz._n the_o soundness_n of_o christian_a religion_n true_a in_o itself_o and_o assent_v unto_o by_o both_o party_n this_o be_v just_a our_o case_n with_o dr._n st._n for_o as_o that_o jew_n do_v

roman_a church_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o yet_o idolatrous_a as_o we_o have_v prove_v and_o he_o now_o admit_v and_o as_o it_o will_v doubtless_o be_v a_o sufficient_a way_n of_o answer_v that_o jew_n to_o prove_v unto_o he_o that_o the_o charge_n of_o idolatry_n he_o lay_v upon_o christian_a religion_n be_v false_a as_o contradict_v a_o principle_n true_a in_o itself_o and_o assent_v unto_o by_o both_o party_n so_o the_o way_n we_o have_v take_v to_o answer_v dr._n st._n be_v the_o very_a same_o must_v needs_o be_v sufficient_a and_o final_o the_o quibble_n dr._n st._n make_v at_o
