schism_n among_o you_o that_o you_o may_v with_o one_o mind_n and_o one_o mouth_n glorify_v god_n 1_o cor._n 1.10_o rom._n 15.6_o in_o fine_a let_v the_o reader_n compare_v that_o devotion_n which_o catholic_n pay_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n with_o that_o which_o most_o protestant_n show_v to_o the_o common-prayer_n and_o then_o see_v how_o much_o better_o we_o be_v by_o reform_v the_o mass_n into_o english_a as_o for_o st._n paul_n 14_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n i_o humble_o think_v it_o not_o well_o understand_v by_o protestant_n if_o

he_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o one_o holy_a catholic_n church_n how_o he_o will_v justify_v his_o reformation_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n i_o can_v imagine_v in_o this_o paper_n therefore_o i_o presume_v not_o to_o assert_v my_o own_o reason_n which_o i_o confess_v to_o be_v as_o weak_a as_o any_o body_n else_o can_v think_v it_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n against_o the_o arrogance_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n this_o difference_n i_o understand_v betwixt_o the_o spirit_n of_o catholic_n and_o of_o heretic_n the_o former_a make_v use_v of_o their_o
