consequence_n but_o let_v he_o answer_v for_o the_o fault_n of_o it_o who_o conseqeunce_n it_o be_v the_o consequence_n then_o be_v to_o himself_o and_o let_v the_o proposition_n be_v the_o preacher_n that_o all_o other_o without_o some_o of_o his_o assistance_n can_v but_o err_v this_o be_v absolute_o false_a say_v our_o author_n and_o so_o say_v i_o too_o but_o it_o be_v true_a popery_n let_v their_o catechism_n decide_v the_o case_n 1676._o to_o that_o i_o appeal_v which_o thus_o deliver_v the_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n upon_o it_o but_o as_o this_o one_o church_n which_o the_o

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n now_o here_o be_v the_o whole_a calummy_a at_o large_a if_o man_n submit_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o be_v in_o his_o church_n they_o have_v the_o benefit_n and_o assistance_n of_o his_o infallibility_n and_o be_v under_o the_o guidance_n of_o it_o as_o secure_v as_o in_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n but_o if_o they_o leave_v it_o they_o be_v drown_v in_o error_n
