that_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o true_a member_n thereof_o shall_v be_v invisible_a in_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n it_o be_v without_o question_n now_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o

this_o cavil_n error_n the_o church_n subject_n to_o error_n that_o by_o the_o ancient_a monument_n of_o the_o church_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o many_o foul_a error_n enter_v into_o the_o church_n

to_o many_o sin_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o same_o church_n so_o abound_v in_o knowledge_n and_o truth_n but_o that_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o error_n christ_n intend_v not_o by_o his_o
