church_n and_o choose_v be_v as_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v infinite_a and_o everlasting_a if_o these_o or_o the_o like_a argument_n make_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o

wherefore_o all_o the_o former_a argument_n if_o they_o conclude_v any_o infallible_a authority_n in_o the_o present_a romish_a church_n they_o conclude_v much_o more_o for_o the_o like_a

most_o obnoxious_a to_o corruption_n vanish_v by_o little_a and_o little_a as_o this_o sacrifice_n do_v approach_v near_o and_o near_o as_o darkness_n do_v before_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n rather_o that_o consummation_n wrought_v upon_o the_o cross_n do_v swallow_v they_o up_o at_o once_o as_o virility_n do_v youth_n youth_n childhood_n childhood_n infancy_n see_v then_o our_o

before_o the_o other_o be_v quite_o abolish_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o most_o of_o they_o hold_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n in_o our_o saviour_n time_n be_v absolute_o infallible_a in_o their_o

of_o the_o high-priest_n and_o elder_n not_o the_o catholic_a representative_a jewish_a church_n 8._o for_o say_v he_o as_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a the_o pope_n vicar_n shall_v be_v inerrable_a when_o the_o pope_n himself_o do_v guide_v the_o church_n and_o defend_v it_o from_o error_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o the_o jewish_a high_a priest_n shall_v not_o err_v when_o
