A73183	Qvi non credit condemnabitvr Marc. 16. Or A discourse prouing, that a man who beleeueth in the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Passion &c. & yet beleeueth not all other inferiour articles of Christian fayth, cannot be saued And consequently, that both the Catholike, and the Protestant (seeing the one necessarily wanteth true fayth) cannot be saued.

take_v from_o the_o former_a definition_n of_o faith_n as_o that_o the_o apostle_n himself_o present_o after_o the_o former_a word_n begin_v to_o instance_n in_o the_o several_a object_n of_o faith_n among_o diverse_a other_o example_n set_v down_o that_o to_o believe_v noas_n flood_n or_o the_o deluge_n of_o the_o world_n by_o water_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o thus_o he_o

wonderful_a that_o the_o apostle_n undertake_v to_o set_v down_o the_o true_a definition_n of_o a_o available_a faith_n and_o exemplify_a it_o in_o several_a object_n shall_v whole_o and_o silent_o

mysterye_n of_o the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n etc._n etc._n must_v believe_v diverse_a other_o dogmatic_a article_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o therefore_o answearable_o heerto_o we_o

the_o same_o to_o their_o disciple_n thus_o according_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o ephesian_n say_v be_v you_o 4._o you_o ephe_n 4._o careful_a to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o

and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o disparity_n be_v because_o it_o be_v god_n good_a pleasure_n and_o wisdom_n not_o to_o reveal_v to_o his_o church_n all_o article_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o at_o one_o time_n but_o at_o several_a time_n and_o upon_o several_a occasion_n as_o to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n best_o seem_v expedient_a thus_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v
