that_o know_v not_o the_o only_a true_a and_o live_a god_n nor_o jesus_n christ_n who_o he_o have_v send_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n i_o say_v my_o friend_n these_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a

for_o the_o lord_n through_o all_o suffering_n if_o it_o be_v death_n itself_o know_v the_o reward_n thereof_o to_o be_v so_o exceed_o great_a and_o have_v this_o confidence_n in_o ourselves_o that_o

although_o the_o true_a church_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v in_o visible_a head_n be_v one_o yet_o the_o oneness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o wherein_o do_v her_o oneness_n consist_v far_o than_o in_o idolatry_n superstition_n murder_n and_o such_o like_a abomination_n of_o which_o much_o may_v be_v mention_v which_o be_v never_o practise_v by_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n but_o in_o these_o thing_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v one_o witness_v her_o worship_a idol_n

as_o she_o have_v do_v for_o many_o hundred_o year_n past_a as_o the_o whole_a christendom_n full_a well_o know_v therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n second_o and_o consider_v be_v not_o the_o company_n of_o priest_n one_o in_o hosea_n day_n who_o murder_v in_o the_o way_n by_o consent_n who_o the_o prophet_n compare_v to_o troop_n of_o robber_n hos_fw-la 6.9_o

pope_n the_o true_a successor_n of_o peter_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o she_o be_v the_o true_a church_n answ_n 1._o i_o answer_v that_o she_o be_v perfect_o unite_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n i_o utter_o deny_v witness_v the_o history_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o trent_n which_o copious_o relate_v the_o division_n and_o contradiction_n among_o they_o there_o about_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o admit_v that_o it_o be_v so_o that_o she_o be_v one_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o do_v not_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n unless_o she_o can_v prove_v her_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n by_o which_o righteousness_n be_v wrought_v heb._n 11.13_o and_o which_o be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n james_n 2.22_o but_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n as_o her_o work_n of_o unrighteousness_n before_o mention_v clear_o make_v manifest_a therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n second_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v govern_v by_o one_o invisible_a head_n christ_n that_o i_o also_o deny_v and_o her_o fruit_n before_o mention_v and_o that_o which_o i_o

now_o you_o go_v about_o to_o kill_v i_o thus_o do_v not_o abraham_n so_o say_v i_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o she_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o one_o invisible_a head_n christ_n as_o the_o true_a church_n be_v than_o she_o will_v have_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n who_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o as_o the_o true_a church_n have_v 1_o corinth_n 2.16_o but_o she_o have_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n witness_v she_o destroy_v the_o life_n of_o many_o not_o only_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v not_o but_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v therefore_o she_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o the_o invisible_a head_n christ_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o whore_n that_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n three_o but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v govern_v by_o her_o visible_a head_n the_o pope_n i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o to_o contradict_v for_o although_o that_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v one_o in_o subjection_n to_o the_o pope_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n because_o christ_n never_o ordain_v a_o visible_a head_n to_o his_o church_n but_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o true_a successor_n of_o peter_n as_o a._n s._n affirm_v that_o i_o do_v deny_v and_o it_o remain_v for_o he_o to_o prove_v it_o or_o for_o some_o of_o his_o servant_n to_o do_v

of_o which_o the_o pope_n be_v visible_a head_n be_v not_o holy_a nor_o the_o spotless_a body_n of_o christ_n 1._o for_o the_o spotless_a body_n of_o christ_n the_o true_a church_n be_v baptize_v

the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o wash_v from_o idolatry_n nor_o free_a from_o murder_n as_o her_o worship_v of_o idol_n or_o image_n do_v testify_v and_o as_o her_o kill_n and_o destroy_v about_o

they_o be_v persuade_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o you_o can_v give_v a_o account_n unto_o god_n for_o they_o if_o they_o do_v

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o you_o yourselves_o will_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v prohibit_v from_o or_o deny_v of_o this_o liberty_n but_o i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v look_v upon_o it_o to_o
