will_v undertake_v the_o question_n against_o such_o opposition_n as_o i_o can_v find_v elsewhere_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o excommunicate_a man_n be_v a_o visible_a member_n of_o christ_n visible_a church_n i_o put_v the_o term_n as_o strict_a as_o i_o can_v because_o i_o will_v avoid_v all_o future_a cavil_v and_o i_o answer_v affirmative_o he_o be_v he_o bring_v no_o proof_n to_o

will_v prevail_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v examine_v it_o by_o reason_n and_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v satisfy_v the_o objection_n make_v by_o some_o jesuit_n against_o it_o to_o understand_v this_o consider_v that_o any_o part_n continue_v so_o long_a a_o member_n of_o its_o body_n as_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o it_o and_o so_o long_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o it_o as_o it_o can_v receive_v
