ignorant_a of_o the_o altitude_n of_o the_o beast_n or_o not_o obstinate_o wed_v thereunto_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n but_o i_o say_v of_o such_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o popish_a church_n though_o not_o of_o the_o popish_a church_n and_o that_o they_o suck_v only_o the_o good_a which_o be_v in_o that_o church_n but_o have_v a_o reluctancy_n against_o the_o error_n and_o

for_o that_o in_o that_o church_n there_o be_v the_o creed_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v church_n how_o salvation_n may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o popish_a church_n also_o the_o

to_o embrace_v so_o much_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o the_o true_a sense_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o as_o for_o practice_v most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o diverse_a in_o
