earth_n the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o most_o corrupt_a state_n so_o that_o beside_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n there_o be_v very_o few_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n yea_o

we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v catholic_a in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o the_o word_n be_v use_v in_o the_o creed_n as_o afterward_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v plain_a and_o we_o say_v that_o our_o church_n have_v always_o be_v and_o now_o also_o be_v catholic_a because_o that_o after_o the_o apostle_n have_v gather_v the_o church_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n there_o do_v always_o from_o time_n to_o time_n remain_v some_o relic_n of_o the_o true_a church_n in_o all_o nation_n although_o those_o relic_n be_v hide_v and_o obscure_v as_o that_o book_n catalogus_fw-la testium_fw-la veritatis_fw-la which_o we_o have_v a_o little_a before_o cite_v do_v testify_v that_o in_o the_o very_a time_n of_o popery_n there_o be_v always_o in_o greece_n italy_n spain_n

there_o be_v no_o protestant_a preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o yet_o but_o all_o papist_n and_o especial_o jesuite_n labour_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o people_n i_o answer_v they_o first_o that_o the_o pharisy_n also_o do_v run_v about_o both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o draw_v man_n unto_o their_o faith_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o their_o religion_n be_v not_o true_a second_o i_o say_v that_o the_o papist_n have_v slay_v more_o in_o the_o indies_n than_o they_o have_v convert_v as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o a_o place_n which_o i_o have_v cite_v in_o my_o politic_n l._n 1._o

inasmuch_o as_o caluin_n send_v thither_o two_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n from_o geneva_n the_o one_o whereof_o be_v joannes_n lerius_fw-la who_o commit_v that_o story_n to_o writing_n and_o at_o

of_o the_o low-countrye_n and_o doubtless_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n the_o true_a religion_n shall_v be_v in_o america_n as_o god_n now_o be_v prepare_v the_o way_n for_o it_o by_o
