have_v be_v diverse_a time_n toss_v and_o handle_v for_o the_o open_n and_o unfolding_n whereof_o we_o must_v first_o strive_v to_o know_v after_o what_o manner_n or_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o word_n

controversy_n be_v not_o in_o my_o judgement_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o we_o all_o agree_v herein_o that_o she_o can_v err_v as_o touch_v faith_n and_o indeed_o how_o shall_v she_o err_v see_v that_o follow_a jesus_n christ_n her_o head_n and_o her_o husband_n she_o walk_v not_o in_o darkness_n but_o in_o the_o light_n of_o life_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o faithful_a people_n universal_o even_o from_o the_o first_o unto_o the_o last_o shall_v fall_v into_o error_n for_o there_o have_v be_v always_o some_o preserve_v through_o the_o

which_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o hear_v the_o judgement_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o romishe_a catholic_n upon_o this_o that_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o

to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n the_o romishe_a catholic_n think_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v although_o she_o do_v and_o appoint_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n she_o may_v go_v and_o walk_v without_o the_o order_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n and_o although_o she_o go_v and_o walk_v yet_o she_o can_v err_v or_o go_v astray_o but_o they_o separate_v that_o which_o ought_v always_o to_o remain_v &_o abide_v join_v together_o for_o if_o the_o church_n follow_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o keep_v she_o from_o error_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o she_o follow_v it_o therein_o she_o do_v well_o and_o can_v err_v the_o reason_n whereby_o they_o will_v persuade_v man_n that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v be_v these_o follow_v the_o first_o be_v this_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n forsake_v his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o spouse_n or_o wife_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o can_v err_v i_o answer_v by_o a_o distinction_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o church_n follow_v jesus_n christ_n it_o can_v be_v forsake_v of_o he_o and_o can_v err_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o live_v in_o the_o world_n do_v stray_v from_o christ_n and_o go_v aside_o from_o god_n commandment_n it_o be_v forsake_v of_o he_o and_o do_v err_v the_o second_o reason_n
