club_n together_o over_o the_o pot_n he_o speak_v of_o in_o his_o introduction_n for_o the_o confutation_n of_o bellarmin_n and_o to_o instance_n no_o far_o in_o this_o fulsome_a kind_n what_o else_o

two_o he_o be_v mighty_o out_o in_o his_o computation_n unless_o the_o old_a blunder_n of_o the_o roman_a be_v the_o catholic_n church_n run_v still_o in_o his_o head_n if_o he_o think_v all_o those_o doctrine_n of_o they_o which_o we_o charge_v with_o the_o want_n of_o true_a antiquity_n be_v ever_o universal_o receive_v over_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n as_o he_o flourish_v to_o exaggerate_v the_o matter_n what_o think_v he_o of_o one_o of_o the_o confuter_n instance_n the_o papal_a authority_n to_o go_v no_o further_o but_o i_o hope_v his_o better_a knowledge_n in_o this_o point_n will_v supersede_n i_o the_o labour_n of_o enlarge_n upon_o so_o copious_a a_o argument_n three_o i_o must_v tell_v the_o adviser_n that_o the_o doctrine_n we_o complain_v of_o be_v general_o

hear_v not_o of_o so_o much_o bustle_n and_o noise_n about_o they_o in_o the_o western_a world_n as_o we_o may_v otherwise_o have_v expect_v and_o if_o he_o ask_v i_o as_o he_o be_v good_a at_o such_o

presume_v to_o ask_v his_o wisdom_n again_o where_o she_o be_v under_o the_o late_a reign_n of_o cromwell_n and_o why_o she_o do_v not_o preach_v and_o make_v law_n against_o he_o and_o his_o abetter_n why_o true_o she_o be_v in_o both_o case_n under_o the_o invincible_a tyranny_n of_o a_o usurper_n and_o therefore_o methinks_v the_o general_a answer_n of_o the_o housholder_n to_o his_o
