as_o i_o have_v in_o the_o first_o place_n reckon_v up_o these_o several_a sort_n of_o christian_n before_o name_v so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n my_o purpose_n be_v to_o set_v down_o what_o manner_n of_o christian_n these_o be_v both_o for_o soundness_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n for_o the_o first_o these_o christian_n be_v all_o baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o receive_v the_o holy_a eucharist_n in_o both_o kind_n according_a to_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n institution_n they_o believe_v the_o creed_n retain_v the_o canonical_a scripture_n yea_o from_o some_o of_o these_o church_n both_o we_o and_o the_o roman_a catholic_n have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o holy_a scripture_n see_v then_o that_o these_o christian_n use_v the_o same_o sacrament_n as_o we_o do_v see_v they_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o profess_v to_o fight_v under_o the_o banner_n of_o christ_n crucify_a and_o rejoice_v in_o their_o suffering_n for_o his_o sake_n far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o ever_o to_o think_v these_o christian_n to_o be_v cast_v away_o and_o reject_v from_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n of_o these_o christian_n brocard_n the_o monk_n testify_v moreover_o those_o who_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v damn_v heretic_n as_o the_o nestorian_n jacobit_n maronites_n and_o

particular_a objection_n make_v by_o some_o roman_a catholic_a against_o these_o church_n and_o first_o for_o the_o greek_a christian_n greek_n who_o some_o roman_a catholic_n account_v erroneous_a in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o they_o affirm_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n now_o they_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o father_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n and_o in_o the_o 16._o gospel_n he_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n now_o see_v it_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n then_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n they_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o judgement_n though_o they_o differ_v in_o word_n so_o say_v lombard_n thomas_n a_o jesu_n and_o also_o cardinal_n tolet_n affirm_v the_o understanding_n greek_n say_v 25._o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v by_o the_o son_n signify_v thereby_o nothing_o but_o that_o which_o we_o ourselves_o profess_v but_o for_o full_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o
