this_o against_o we_o can_v that_o be_v a_o true_a church_n or_o a_o safe_a religion_n or_o way_n to_o walk_v in_o which_o be_v fallible_a but_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v such_o according_a

not_o absolute_o infallible_a but_o last_o here_o they_o object_v a_o passage_n of_o august_n who_o in_o his_o epist_n 162._o say_v that_o in_o romana_fw-la ecclesia_fw-la semper_fw-la viguit_fw-la
