ghost_n otherways_o distinguish_v but_o by_o generation_n and_o procession_n and_o if_o the_o son_n be_v the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o love_n of_o both_o he_o must_v doubtless_o proceed_v from_o the_o son_n because_o love_n proceed_v of_o knowledge_n 18_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v one_o church_n universal_a in_o respect_n

only_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o eminency_n dominion_n efficacy_n and_o perfection_n as_o containe_v all_o those_o grace_n of_o spiritual_a sense_n motion_n life_n and_o other_o good_a thing_n which_o he_o impart_v to_o his_o member_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o this_o catholic_n church_n but_o a_o misshape_a and_o lame_a member_n thereof_o and_o that_o neither_o her_o

bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o saint_n among_o themselves_o here_o on_o earth_n consist_v in_o their_o mutual_a love_n in_o impart_v spiritual_a gift_n and_o support_v each_o other_o with_o their_o mutual_a help_n as_o also_o with_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n they_o pray_v for_o we_o and_o we_o earnest_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o they_o and_o with_o christ_n also_o as_o the_o branch_n with_o the_o root_n builder_n with_o the_o foundation_n the_o wife_n with_o the_o husband_n the_o member_n with_o the_o head_n he_o impart_v to_o we_o his_o righteousness_n merit_n and_o prerogative_n and_o we_o impart_v again_o to_o he_o our_o sin_n punishment_n and_o infirmity_n 20_o we_o be_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n do_v forgive_v sin_n and_o that_o he_o alone_o have_v this_o power_n the_o minister_n only_o pronounce_v the_o pardon_n and_o that_o all_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a though_o not_o actual_o

rise_v in_o vain_a our_o faith_n be_v vain_a and_o we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a and_o this_o resurrection_n must_v be_v of_o all_o because_o all_o must_v be_v reward_v or_o punish_v but_o this_o resurrection_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o work_n of_o nature_n because_o natura_o from_o the_o privation_n to_o the_o habit_n there_o can_v be_v no_o regress_n and_o though_o there_o may_v
