doctrine_n commit_v to_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n fail_v either_o in_o whole_a or_o part_n but_o be_v preserve_v inviolate_a and_o entire_a from_o all_o error_n

to_o salvation_n though_o many_o pastor_n and_o people_n repute_v for_o the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o church_n may_v err_v and_o sometime_o also_o persist_v in_o join_v mortal_a error_n with_o the_o

which_o point_n do_v not_o therefore_o lose_v their_o succession_n because_o many_o corruption_n be_v receive_v &_o teach_v with_o they_o much_o less_o do_v those_o corruption_n succeed_v with_o the_o
