the_o catholic_a faith_n which_o be_v once_o deliver_v unto_o the_o saint_n and_o have_v lay_v aside_o that_o hay_n and_o stubble_n and_o trash_n which_o have_v be_v pile_v upon_o this_o foundation_n and_o if_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o ancient_a faith_n be_v heresy_n if_o the_o cleanse_n of_o our_o church_n from_o litter_n be_v innovation_n and_o if_o the_o profess_v and_o practise_v of_o those_o

they_o have_v miracle_n to_o speak_v on_o their_o side_n we_o have_v beside_o the_o cannon_n of_o h._n scripture_n the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a father_n to_o speak_v on_o our_o behalf_n and_o the_o

the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n if_o the_o call_n for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n or_o the_o fetch_n of_o it_o from_o hell_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o christian_a if_o our_o
