and_o when_o she_o be_v call_v pure_a that_o be_v either_o in_o respect_n of_o her_o head_n or_o in_o regard_n of_o a_o part_n thereof_o which_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o heaven_n which_o they_o

only_o to_o the_o eye_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o blind_a world_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o church_n militant_a have_v ever_o retain_v that_o measure_n of_o purity_n which_o the_o holy_a

this_o either_o to_o be_v lose_v or_o scatter_v as_o well_o appear_v in_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o ely_n the_o prophet_n where_o there_o be_v a_o church_n of_o seven_o

prove_v it_o the_o church_n that_o may_v altogether_o be_v compound_v of_o unfaithful_a person_n wicked_a and_o reprobate_n can_v have_v neither_o purity_n in_o her_o faith_n nor_o in_o her_o life_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n so_o describe_v by_o bellarmine_n may_v be_v whole_o compose_v of_o such_o people_n therefore_o she_o can_v have_v no_o kind_n of_o purity_n the_o

according_a to_o the_o which_o some_o be_v of_o the_o body_n &_o not_o of_o the_o soul_n thereof_o have_v no_o internal_a virtue_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hair_n the_o nail_n and_o corrupt_a humour_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o of_o such_o sort_n be_v the_o infidel_n wicked_a and_o reprobate_n as_o bellarmine_n himself_o express_v they_o who_o may_v make_v external_a profession_n of_o faith_n communicate_v to_o the_o sacrament_n &_o subject_v themselves_o to_o the_o pope_n which_o be_v the_o 3._o essential_a condition_n and_o only_a necessary_n according_a to_o this_o cardinal_n for_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n by_o the_o same_o author_n i_o will_v argue_v again_o after_o another_o manner_n that_o which_o may_v be_v destitute_a of_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n can_v remain_v in_o purity_n yea_o rather_o may_v lose_v all_o but_o the_o church_n according_a to_o bellarmine_n may_v be_v void_a of_o all_o those_o quality_n therefore_o she_o may_v lose_v all_o her_o purity_n but_o if_o any_o shall_v reply_v that_o bellarmine_n adjoin_v that_o the_o say_v virtue_n be_v to_o be_v find_v nevertheless_o in_o the_o church_n i_o ask_v whether_o they_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o church_n or_o not_o if_o the_o first_o wherefore_o say_v he_o in_o his_o definition_n that_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a but_o if_o the_o second_o how_o can_v a_o church_n without_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n be_v think_v pure_a learn_v then_o sir_n by_o these_o two_o argument_n as_o by_o two_o mark_n or_o rather_o ensign_n the_o purity_n of_o the_o place_n where_o those_o people_n will_v lodge_v you_o nevertheless_o this_o be_v that_o 5._o church_n which_o cardinal_n baronius_n maintain_v and_o defend_v to_o have_v neither_o spot_n nor_o
