that_o no_o salvation_n can_v be_v have_v out_o of_o this_o church_n and_o that_o every_o heresy_n or_o schism_n be_v sufficient_a to_o deprive_v any_o soul_n thereof_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o to_o

be_v hard_o to_o find_v out_o this_o author_n order_n and_o way_n his_o end_n or_o drift_n we_o know_v but_o the_o way_n by_o which_o he_o will_v come_v to_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o be_v see_v i_o be_o

he_o be_v still_o on_o his_o threshold_n for_o first_o though_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o one_o and_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o no_o salvation_n can_v be_v have_v out_o of_o that_o one_o church_n this_o as_o have_v be_v note_v be_v no_o degree_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o papist_n uncharitableness_n in_o damn_v protestant_n again_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o every_o heresy_n in_o

sufficient_a to_o deprive_v any_o soul_n thereof_o and_o so_o protestant_n may_v still_o suffer_v a_o false_a charge_n of_o heresy_n to_o be_v lay_v on_o they_o by_o romist_n and_o yet_o be_v sure_a

for_o these_o two_o point_n that_o out_o of_o the_o church_n be_v no_o salvation_n and_o that_o heresy_n and_o schism_n do_v put_v man_n out_o of_o the_o church_n these_o be_v prove_v no_o way_n

ii_o the_o allegation_n of_o scripture_n and_o father_n make_v by_o the_o cavalier_n be_v more_o forcible_a to_o exclude_v the_o papist_n out_o of_o the_o church_n than_o the_o protestant_n against_o

without_o controversy_n for_o the_o text_n say_v if_o thy_o brother_n sin_n or_o trespass_n against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o his_o fault_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o a_o fault_n

but_o to_o witness_v and_o condemn_v the_o contumacy_n of_o the_o party_n in_o deny_v satisfaction_n and_o reconciliation_n after_o a_o evident_a fault_n and_o when_o the_o offend_a brother_n will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n thus_o admonish_v persuade_v and_o enjoin_v he_o satisfaction_n and_o reconciliation_n than_o he_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o that_o church_n which_o he_o have_v thus_o contumacious_o disobey_v agreeable_a to_o that_o of_o s._n paul_n if_o any_o man_n obey_v not_o our_o word_n have_v no_o company_n with_o he_o 3.14_o but_o be_v it_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n this_o also_o may_v be_v true_a in_o russian_a aethiopian_a and_o protestant_a church_n and_o so_o the_o church_n may_v judge_v controversy_n though_o there_o be_v

the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o current_n of_o the_o place_n seem_v to_o he_o that_o way_n according_a to_o proportion_n for_o first_o the_o offend_a brother_n alone_o be_v to_o admonish_v his_o

the_o question_n of_o inerrability_n if_o the_o prelate_n be_v mean_v by_o the_o church_n which_o lorca_n say_v be_v the_o most_o usual_a opinion_n among_o romist_n yet_o do_v not_o this_o place_n

at_o once_o and_o so_o to_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v his_o own_o prelate_n of_o who_o he_o must_v ask_v do_v this_o place_n promise_v that_o no_o prelate_n shall_v err_v in_o judgeing_a of_o controversy_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n which_o be_v undeniable_o the_o true_a church_n before_o christ_n priest_n do_v not_o judge_v controversy_n without_o

corrupt_v the_o covenant_n of_o levi._n according_o we_o find_v in_o the_o prophet_n a_o continual_a outcry_n upon_o the_o priest_n for_o mis-leading_a the_o people_n yea_o the_o priest_n be_v chief_a in_o false_a judgement_n 26.8_o and_o injury_n of_o the_o true_a prophet_n according_o pashar_n both_o prophesy_v lie_n 6._o and_o do_v cast_v jeremy_n into_o the_o stock_n for_o prophesy_a truth_n

for_o the_o humble_v of_o the_o body_n but_o because_o they_o thus_o understand_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o author_n be_v plain_o tell_v by_o s._n augustine_n that_o it_o be_v the_o falsify_v of_o divine_a testimony_n even_o the_o allege_a place_n of_o scripture_n that_o give_v their_o error_n the_o name_n of_o a_o heresy_n and_o it_o be_v pity_n to_o put_v

not_o believe_v god_n truth_n he_o can_v believe_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o promise_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o because_o such_o lesser_a error_n be_v sometime_o plain_o at_o least_o as_o some_o holy_a man_n think_v convince_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n therefore_o these_o error_n by_o they_o may_v perchance_o be_v call_v heresy_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v certain_o affirm_v by_o
