if_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v in_o those_o day_n presume_v to_o have_v break_v down_o all_o the_o ancient_a mound_n and_o boundary_n of_o jurisdiction_n the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

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

that_o look_v a_o little_a towards_o a_o design_n of_o put_v a_o trick_n upon_o his_o reader_n 2_o that_o we_o be_v here_o shrewd_o direct_v to_o find_v out_o the_o catholic_n church_n by_o find_v

the_o better_a logic_n of_o his_o master_n bellarmin_n will_v not_o probable_o have_v suffer_v he_o to_o have_v do_v and_o last_o after_o all_o that_o he_o unlucky_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o

that_o if_o bellarmin_n by_o antiquity_n mean_v such_o as_o his_o confuter_n explain_v p._n 45._o as_o be_v pretend_v than_o he_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n a_o agreement_n in_o doctrine_n with_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
