and_o key_n in_o a_o time_n ot_fw-mi universal_a defection_n shall_v resolve_v itself_o radical_o into_o the_o church_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o any_o church_n right_a for_o matter_n which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o essence_n this_o power_n can_v not_o resolve_v itself_o radical_o into_o a_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v any_o where_o on_o earth_n as_o doubtless_o it_o be_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o believer_n who_o join_v themselves_o together_o in_o assembly_n may_v stir_v up_o and_o take_v again_o that_o power_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o church_n and_o after_o cheat_v away_o by_o antichrist_n if_o idolatry_n will-worship_n false_a matter_n can_v un-church_n church_n then_o doubtless_o all_o the_o church_n so_o overshadow_a by_o a_o antichristian_a veil_n have_v cease_v to_o be_v church_n and_o if_o neither_o idolater_n will-worship_n nor_o false_a matter_n singular_o nor_o collective_o do_v unchurch_n church_n then_o the_o church_n under_o the_o papacy_n may_v perhaps_o be_v find_v to_o continue_v true_a church_n to_o this_o day_n who_o have_v have_v a_o successive_a though_o not_o of_o preach_v doctrine_n yet_o of_o person_n such_o as_o

of_o the_o two_o last_o branch_n 2_o we_o desire_v a_o set_n up_o of_o constitution_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n or_o in_o plain_a term_n to_o have_v a_o church_n describe_v by_o such_o note_n that_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o other_o society_n in_o the_o world_n the_o take_v away_o of_o one_o of_o which_o destroy_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o church_n that_o so_o god_n people_n may_v
