of_o a_o symbol_n as_o we_o have_v almost_o take_v the_o clergy_n for_o the_o only_a church_n even_o now_o i_o shall_v therefore_o spend_v a_o word_n or_o two_o in_o inquire_v what_o it_o may_v import_v i_o find_v that_o it_o mean_v a_o sign_n or_o badge_n to_o know_v one_o by_o from_o another_o such_o as_o the_o colour_n which_o soldier_n wear_v in_o their_o hat_n or_o the_o white_a

because_o it_o be_v a_o composure_n worthy_a of_o such_o author_n or_o the_o number_n of_o its_o article_n be_v just_a twelve_o as_o they_o be_v therefore_o in_o the_o latin_a call_v symbolum_n

from_o another_o man_n now_o sir_n i_o shall_v go_v on_o and_o begin_v where_o i_o end_v at_o the_o 9th_o error_n it_o scil_n communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v the_o symbol_n of_o the_o

of_o england_n of_o which_o many_o know_v nothing_o of_o a_o symbol_n at_o all_o but_o of_o christian_n in_o this_o kingdom_n or_o elsewhere_o any_o thing_n acquaint_v with_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n i_o believe_v our_o author_n error_n will_v prove_v a_o truth_n in_o the_o common_a opinion_n we_o can_v bring_v it_o to_o the_o poll_n and_o therefore_o be_v bring_v thus_o far_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n judgement_n but_o if_o any_o differ_v from_o i_o or_o the_o truth_n either_o in_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o worthy_a to_o be_v score_v up_o in_o
