A18305	The second part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholicke VVherein the religion established in our Church of England (for the points here handled) is apparently iustified by authoritie of Scripture, and testimonie of the auncient Church, against the vaine cauillations collected by Doctor Bishop seminary priest, as out of other popish writers, so especially out of Bellarmine, and published vnder the name of The marrow and pith of many large volumes, for the oppugning thereof.

seat_v in_o the_o dark_a corner_n of_o the_o will_n and_o a_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v in_o himself_o so_o then_o because_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n be_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o strength_n and_o m._n bishop_n do_v not_o know_v whether_o he_o love_v god_n or_o not_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v he_o do_v but_o lie_v
