the_o r._n church_n there_o have_v appear_v public_o and_o visible_o to_o whole_a nation_n man_n of_o such_o sanctity_n of_o life_n with_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n that_o after_o their_o decease_n their_o life_n and_o miracle_n do_v both_o afore_o and_o after_o their_o death_n have_v be_v first_o severe_o examine_v and_o discuse_v and_o then_o approve_v they_o be_v after_o this_o examination_n

of_o christ_n so_o he_o deny_v also_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n lay_v then_o aside_o divine_a revelation_n have_v man_n at_o that_o time_n more_o humane_a authority_n to_o believe_v christ_n miracle_n than_o we_o have_v now_o to_o believe_v the_o approve_a miracle_n of_o our_o saint_n from_o all_o i_o have_v say_v i_o infer_v first_o if_o the_o r._n church_n

visible_a mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n than_o these_o i_o have_v bring_v second_o i_o infer_v that_o if_o the_o jew_n see_v some_o prophet_n sanctity_n of_o life_n and_o miracle_n be_v most_o reasonable_o persuade_v and_o convince_v that_o god_n direct_v they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o speak_v by_o their_o mouth_n to_o other_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n believe_v that_o the_o roman_a

prophet_n you_o will_v find_v it_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n now_o to_o make_v use_n of_o our_o rational_a faculty_n in_o order_n to_o see_v if_o you_o have_v any_o appearance_n of_o a_o church_n among_o you_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o you_o to_o say_v that_o the_o protestant_a church_n have_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n you_o must_v

what_o motive_n you_o can_v persuade_v i_o that_o luther_n and_o calvin_n your_o first_o reformer_n be_v move_v and_o direct_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o all_o their_o opposition_n to_o the_o
