divine_a truth_n and_o therein_o stubborn_o contradict_v the_o teach_v of_o the_o church_n he_o debar_v god_n from_o cooperate_a with_o his_o grace_n and_o from_o draw_v people_n to_o believe_v with_o divine_a faith_n the_o doctrine_n so_o mix_v and_o propose_v it_o appear_v how_o just_a cause_n all_o protestant_n have_v to_o return_v with_o speed_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o which_o they_o may_v assure_o be_v save_v even_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a among_o they_o because_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o the_o protestant_a profession_n be_v not_o a_o

weighty_a point_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o have_v before_o note_a and_o 4._o because_o protestant_n hold_v that_o all_o church_n be_v subject_a to_o err_a yea_o and_o have_v err_v in_o their_o doctrine_n

for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n i_o demand_v of_o protestant_n if_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v err_v as_o they_o say_v in_o her_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n from_o whence_o proceed_v this_o her_o err_a do_v this_o happen_v because_o christ_n can_v not_o keep_v she_o from_o err_a or_o because_o he_o will_v not_o if_o he_o can_v not_o how_o be_v he_o god_n how_o be_v he_o

over_o the_o world_n without_o danger_n of_o err_a and_o of_o delude_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n why_o can_v not_o he_o also_o enable_v their_o successor_n the_o ordinary_a doctor_n and_o

direct_v man_n to_o write_v his_o holy_a scripture_n without_o danger_n of_o err_a why_o can_v he_o not_o direct_v man_n to_o explicate_v the_o same_o holy_a scripture_n in_o all_o age_n without_o danger_n of_o err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n well_o then_o protestant_n must_v say_v that_o christ_n can_v have_v preserve_v his_o church_n in_o all_o age_n from_o danger_n of_o err_v in_o her_o

not_o be_v it_o then_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n that_o invite_v christ_n to_o constitute_v a_o err_a church_n true_o no._n for_o no_o good_a can_v come_v to_o man_n by_o such_o a_o church_n but_o

of_o god_n or_o the_o good_a of_o man_n that_o christ_n shall_v find_v a_o err_v church_n it_o be_v very_o gross_a error_n to_o hold_v that_o he_o do_v and_o those_o who_o so_o think_v do_v great_o
