not_o in_o any_o glass_n behold_v and_o know_v the_o groan_n and_o affliction_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a on_o earth_n and_o indeed_o that_o the_o saint_n depart_v be_v not_o privy_a to_o our_o

the_o true_a and_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n object_n the_o four_o note_n the_o papist_n say_v be_v unity_n and_o good_a agreement_n solut._n i_o answer_v consent_n and_o unity_n be_v but_o so_o far_o a_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n aug._n as_o the_o consent_n be_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n and_o not_o in_o evil_a and_o falsehood_n for_o such_o a_o agreement_n in_o evil_a and_o

there_o be_v great_a consent_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o howsoever_o after_o luther_n time_n there_o arise_v many_o church_n the_o devil_n be_v always_o busy_a to_o cast_v his_o plot_n against_o the_o

call_v the_o harmony_n of_o confession_n do_v testify_v wherein_o it_o be_v manifest_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v exceed_o great_a consent_n betwixt_o the_o church_n of_o france_n england_n scotland_n bohemia_n and_o those_o which_o be_v in_o germany_n near_o unto_o rhine_n and_o in_o other_o province_n for_o that_o disagreement_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o lutheran_n and_o the_o

romish_a church_n as_o they_o boast_v of_o for_o it_o can_v be_v easy_o show_v that_o the_o popish_a writer_n agree_v not_o in_o any_o one_o article_n among_o themselves_o as_o it_o do_v appear_v out_o of_o bellarmine_n who_o ordinary_o dispute_v against_o other_o papist_n and_o allege_v their_o opposition_n and_o contradiction_n to_o themselves_o this_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o joh._n

that_o bare_a or_o secondary_a propriety_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n this_o propriety_n do_v also_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v catholic_n &_o that_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o place_n 404._o not_o because_o it_o possess_v many_o kingdom_n but_o because_o it_o be_v scatter_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o not_o tie_v to_o any_o certain_a place_n to_o any_o determinate_a country_n or_o city_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n because_o it_o do_v consist_v of_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n of_o

be_v with_o you_o even_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n four_o in_o respect_n of_o unity_n because_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v at_o all_o time_n but_o one_o to_o wit_n in_o unity_n of_o doctrine_n &_o consent_v in_o that_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o much_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o church_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v examine_v and_o try_v the_o popish_a church_n by_o these_o propriety_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o pure_a church_n but_o be_v very_o corrupt_a even_o as_o a_o rot_a apple_n be_v a_o apple_n corrupt_v and_o no_o otherwise_o than_o a_o man_n that_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o plague_n be_v a_o man_n but_o no_o sound_a man_n and_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v not_o the_o pure_a church_n i_o will_v prove_v it_o by_o two_o manifest_a reason_n the_o first_o a_o idolatrous_a church_n be_v not_o the_o true_a &_o pure_a church_n but_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o popish_a church_n ergo_fw-la the_o proposition_n be_v
