no_o but_o this_o gentleman_n must_v own_o that_o he_o do_v when_o i_o have_v tell_v he_o only_o that_o by_o bare_a antiquity_n his_o adversary_n understand_v antiquity_n abstract_v from_o the_o

it_o seem_v to_o do_v then_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a to_o i_o that_o he_o present_o grow_v weary_a of_o his_o note_n which_o he_o can_v not_o manage_v without_o blending_a and_o confound_a it_o with_o another_o more_o proper_a and_o pertinent_a to_o his_o business_n though_o beside_o his_o design_n the_o three_o inconsistency_n which_o he_o think_v he_o have_v find_v in_o the_o confuter_n of_o bellarmin_n be_v this_o that_o have_v prove_v antiquity_n not_o to_o be_v a_o proper_a note_n of_o the_o church_n because_o it_o do_v not_o always_o belong_v to_o it_o as_o a_o proper_a
