against_o god_n church_n shall_v be_v damn_v but_o here_o i_o will_v stay_v myself_o wade_v no_o further_a in_o the_o disquisition_n and_o search_v of_o the_o great_a dissension_n between_o catholic_n

creed_n that_o they_o both_o do_v not_o believe_v one_o and_o the_o same_o creed_n but_o have_v to_o themselves_o several_a creed_n from_o which_o point_n be_v sufficient_o discover_v the_o want_n of_o unity_n in_o faith_n among_o they_o both_o which_o unity_n be_v so_o necessary_o require_v to_o man_n salvation_n as_o in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n be_v demonstrate_v second_o that_o though_o

contain_v in_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v indifferent_o believe_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n both_o by_o catholic_a and_o protestant_n three_o see_v also_o there_o be_v sundry_a controversy_n in_o religion_n as_o be_v above_o exemplify_v which_o immediate_o concern_v salvation_n be_v houlden_v as_o necessary_a mean_n thereof_o by_o catholic_n but_o disclaim_v from_o and_o abandon_v by_o the_o protestant_n as_o main_n error_n and_o false_a doctrine_n therefore_o from_o all_o the_o former_a premise_n i_o do_v aver_v that_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a error_n to_o make_v the_o creed_n the_o sole_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o he_o who_o maintain_v that_o both_o the_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n notwithstanding_o their_o great_a disparity_n of_o belief_n and_o faith_n the_o
