in_o the_o disquisition_n and_o search_n of_o the_o great_a dissension_n between_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n touch_v faith_n and_o belief_n only_o i_o will_v reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o

construction_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n and_o consequent_o see_v the_o sense_n and_o not_o the_o word_n make_v the_o creed_n that_o they_o both_o do_v not_o believe_v one_o and_o the_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 by_o supposition_n they_o do_v believe_v the_o creed_n &_o the_o sense_n thereof_o with_o a_o unanimous_a consent_n yet_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a other_o article_n not_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 the_o catholic_n but_o disclaim_v from_o and_o abandon_v by_o protestant_n as_o main_n error_n and_o false_a doctrine_n that_o therefore_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 11._o therefore_o from_o all_o the_o former_a premise_n i_o do_v aver_v that_o he_o who_o
