although_o it_o be_v not_o controvert_v betuene_n catholic_n and_o protestant_n or_o any_o other_o nomynated_a christian_n whether_o god_n have_v any_o word_n write_v which_o be_v infallible_a usual_o

their_o claim_n to_o the_o inestimable_a reward_n allot_v for_o their_o vow_n of_o chastity_n as_o easy_o we_o may_v believe_v that_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o idol_n dagon_n may_v be_v place_v together_o but_o indeed_o though_o you_o have_v the_o roman_a church_n warrant_v that_o those_o book_n that_o you_o admit_v as_o canonical_a to_o be_v divyne_n yet_o never_o do_v the_o roman_a

that_o the_o great_a assurance_n you_o have_v be_v the_o authority_n of_o your_o own_o church_n which_o confess_o be_v liable_a to_o error_n what_o infallible_a assurance_n have_v protestant_n of_o
