the_o lord_n call_v the_o child_n which_o be_v bear_v unto_o they_o his_o son_n ezech._n 16._o which_v nothing_o at_o all_o pertein_v unto_o he_o but_o by_o a_o special_a blessing_n so_o when_o he_o

the_o church_n shall_v utter_o perish_v and_o as_o oftentimes_o building_n be_v so_o pull_v down_o that_o the_o foundation_n and_o ruin_n remain_v so_o he_o have_v not_o suffer_v his_o church_n to_o

therefore_o we_o will_v not_o simple_o grant_v to_o the_o papist_n the_o title_n of_o the_o church_n we_o do_v not_o therefore_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v church_n among_o they_o but_o only_o we_o
