herein_o the_o first_o consideration_n be_v one_o that_o the_o church_n be_v only_o one_o though_o different_a in_o time_n as_o far_o as_o from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n

be_v say_v before_o it_o be_v the_o society_n or_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a of_o all_o age_n this_o voity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v note_v in_o the_o one_o ark_n of_o noah_n 6._o in_o

this_o consideration_n do_v second_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o do_v evident_o evince_v and_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o be_v unite_v to_o

dispute_v 16._o the_o body_n be_v not_o one_o member_n but_o many_o be_v the_o foot_n not_o of_o the_o body_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o ear_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o eye_n so_o we_o may_v true_o say_v be_v this_o or_o that_o national_n or_o provincial_a church_n no_o church_n because_o it_o be_v not_o dependent_a upon_o rome_n be_v they_o that_o be_v baptize_v

and_o reconcile_v to_o rome_n if_o the_o body_n though_o it_o be_v bu●_n one_o yet_o be_v not_o one_o member_n but_o many_o then_o reason_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o every_o member_n have_v his_o proportionable_a nutriment_n life_n and_o motion_n from_o the_o head_n without_o any_o dependence_n one_o upon_o another_o catholic_a the_o second_o consideration_n be_v that_o it_o be_v catholic_a or_o universal_a and_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o time_n place_n and_o person_n because_o there_o be_v ever_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o ever_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n a_o company_n more_o or_o less_o of_o true_a believer_n because_o the_o church_n be_v not_o confine_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o any_o one_o country_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o be_v spread_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o because_o it_o consist_v of_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n of_o man_n 7.9_o of_o all_o nation_n kindred_n people_n and_o tongue_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o revelation_n so_o that_o to_o be_v of_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v to_o hold_v and_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n ever_o do_v and_o constant_o do_v hold_v and_o believe_v therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n when_o heresy_n and_o schism_n spring_v up_o those_o that_o do_v clea●e_v to_o the_o truth_n 48._o have_v give_v unto_o

and_o nature_n of_o the_o word_n catholic_a 2._o the_o three_o consideration_n be_v that_o the_o church_n be_v visible_a and_o that_o in_o all_o age_n but_o it_o must_v be_v know_v how_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v always_o visible_a according_a to_o the_o romish_a tenet_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v visible_a and_o palpable_a as_o some_o eminent_a state_n
