as_o any_o for_o it_o confound_v fancy_n and_o tradition_n whereas_o the_o one_o be_v public_a to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o the_o other_o be_v private_a his_o next_o paragraph_n adulterate_v the_o

to_o find_v out_o his_o guide_n yet_o after_o that_o it_o be_v authority_n not_o reason_n that_o move_v we_o and_o the_o previous_a motive_n induce_v we_o to_o embrace_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o

where_o now_o it_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o from_o whence_o all_o other_o pretend_a church_n go_v out_o she_o never_o depart_a from_o any_o church_n that_o be_v elder_a than_o herself_o if_o

and_o that_o all_o the_o prophet_n though_o infallible_a in_o deliver_v such_o truth_n as_o god_n put_v into_o their_o mouth_n yet_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o sin_n the_o miraculous_a surprise_n will_v cease_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o infallibility_n be_v necessary_a and_o not_o impeccability_n be_v manifest_a because_o without_o the_o first_o the_o church_n can_v not_o subsist_v for_o if_o once_o

a_o vindication_n of_o the_o king_n against_o three_o of_o his_o paragraph_n the_o king_n have_v put_v the_o question_n by_o what_o authority_n man_n separate_v themselves_o from_o that_o church_n he_o reply_v that_o they_o have_v not_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o catholic_n and_o apostolic_a church_n but_o be_v disjoin_v from_o the_o roman_a church_n that_o we_o may_v keep_v up_o the_o strict_a union_n with_o the_o true_o catholic_n and_o apostolic_a church_n but_o if_o the_o english_a church_n repute_v itself_o a_o member_n of_o the_o chatholick_a church_n because_o she_o profess_v to_o stand_v to_o the_o three_o creed_n and_o four_o first_o general_a council_n then_o certain_o the_o arian_n nestorian_n eutichian_o and_o the_o eastern_a church_n abovementioned_a can_v be_v part_n of_o the_o catholic_n apostolic_a church_n because_o they_o hold_v not_o the_o apostolic_a doctrine_n contain_v in_o those_o creed_n and_o council_n but_o beside_o those_o church_n there_o be_v no_o other_o in_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o separation_n but_o those_o church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n consequent_o the_o church_n of_o england_n go_v out_o from_o they_o separated_z herself_o from_o the_o catholic_n apostolic_a church_n and_o therefore_o unless_o he_o can_v prove_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o have_v desert_v any_o other_o elder_a church_n than_o herself_o by_o usurpation_n or_o otherwise_o his_o story_n of_o a_o usurper_n will_v be_v but_o a_o shift_n and_o may_v authorise_v all_o rebellion_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n the_o last_o paragraph_n be_v since_o protestant_n do_v charge_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o imposition_n of_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n the_o king_n desire_v to_o know_v who_o be_v to_o be_v judge_n of_o that_o whether_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o succession_n whereof_o have_v continue_v to_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n or_o particular_a man_n who_o have_v raise_v schism_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n the_o roman_a church_n have_v be_v in_o possession_n of_o all_o those_o truth_n now_o question_v by_o the_o man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o unreasonable_a than_o to_o divest_v she_o of_o her_o just_a possession_n and_o to_o require_v she_o to_o fall_v a_o prove_v whereas_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o

universal_a tradition_n whoever_o question_n the_o title_n must_v convince_v she_o of_o that_o pretend_a usurpation_n and_o then_o as_o it_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o the_o king_n who_o shall_v be_v
