and_o become_v necessary_a mean_n thereof_o then_o can_v the_o protestant_n as_o reject_v all_o such_o doctrine_n and_o such_o mean_n both_o in_o belief_n &_o practice_n be_v save_v but_o if_o by_o a_o supposal_n they_o be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n but_o false_a in_o themselves_o and_o the_o contrary_a doctrine_n true_a then_o can_v the_o catholic_n as_o believe_v false_a doctrine_n

that_o both_o the_o catholics_n and_o the_o protestant_n the_o one_o part_n believe_v the_o other_o part_v not_o believe_v the_o foresay_a doctrine_n shall_v both_o be_v save_v for_o who_o neglect_v necessary_a mean_n shall_v never_o attain_v to_o the_o design_a end_n of_o the_o say_a mean_n second_o i_o urge_v that_o a_o false_a belief_n not_o only_o in_o these_o article_n but_o also_o in_o any_o other_o controversye_n between_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v plain_a heresy_n and_o this_o because_o every_o false_a belief_n be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o definition_n

either_o the_o catholic_n or_o protestant_n for_o their_o persist_v in_o this_o false_a belief_n or_o heresy_n shall_v be_v damn_v 10._o 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_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 premise_n of_o the_o two_o last_o chapter_n and_o here_o since_o it_o be_v make_v most_o evident_a first_o that_o the_o protestant_n and_o catholic_n do_v main_o differ_v in_o the_o sense_n and_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

be_v this_o these_o newtralist_n in_o religion_n do_v not_o agree_v even_o in_o the_o general_a ground_n of_o christian_a faith_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o article_n of_o one_o god_n of_o the_o trinity_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n with_o any_o other_o christian_n this_o be_v prove_v because_o as_o all_o other_o christian_n do_v believe_v in_o these_o general_a head_n so_o do_v each_o of_o they_o

work_v nothing_o in_o vain_a now_o to_o apply_v this_o we_o find_v both_o by_o history_n and_o by_o experience_n that_o diverse_a zealous_a and_o fervent_a professor_n of_o all_o religion_n
