slackness_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v over_o rule_v we_o or_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o they_o that_o have_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n in_o their_o hand_n i_o will_v not_o now_o say_v

for_o the_o reformation_n of_o they_o it_o be_v not_o a_o cap_n tippet_n or_o surples_n only_o which_o be_v but_o small_a matter_n and_o the_o small_a of_o many_o matter_n which_o be_v to_o be_v

of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n under_o christ_n it_o stand_v we_o great_o upon_o earnest_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n long_o to_o establish_v this_o pillar_n amongst_o us._n 3.10_o for_o if_o the_o

truth_n we_o be_v the_o church_n therefore_o we_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n but_o this_o reason_n i_o will_v return_v upon_o they_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n now_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o pillar_n upholder_n &_o mainteners_n of_o truth_n then_o must_v we_o and_o will_v we_o grant_v they_o to_o be_v the_o church_n but_o if_o they_o be_v the_o piler_n of_o damnable_a doctrine_n contrary_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n howsoever_o they_o brag_n themselves_o to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o synagogue_n

minister_v and_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n due_o execute_v there_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n now_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v prove_v that_o in_o there_o church_n true_a doctrine_n ground_v upon_o god_n word_n have_v be_v preach_v that_o the_o sacrament_n have_v be_v use_v &_o minister_v according_a to_o christ_n institution_n and_o that_o discipline_n have_v be_v right_o execute_v then_o will_v we_o recant_v and_o revoke_v whatsoever_o we_o have_v mainetain_v or_o preach_v then_o will_v we_o join_v hand_n with_o they_o but_o this_o they_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v
