by_o she_o own_o confession_n for_o if_o she_o be_v universal_a as_o she_o pretend_v she_o be_v than_o protestant_n greek_n arminian_o muscovite_n coftians_n and_o all_o other_o christian_n in_o the_o

contrary_a former_o they_o believe_v baptism_n be_v sufficient_o perform_v only_o with_o water_n now_o not_o without_o water_n salt_n oil_n and_o spital_n former_o they_o believe_v the_o eucharist_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o infant_n now_o no_o such_o thing_n thus_o in_o every_o age_n they_o have_v either_o change_v add_v to_o or_o substract_v from_o their_o faith_n and_o opinion_n whereas_o a_o church_n at_o unity_n in_o itself_o always_o believe_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o two_o for_o their_o practice_n i_o find_v therein_o no_o unity_n at_o all_o for_o some_o follow_v the_o

some_o again_o will_v have_v that_o our_o lady_n be_v immaculate_o conceive_v and_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v infallible_a othersome_a will_v admit_v of_o neither_o but_o perhaps_o the_o papist_n will_v say_v all_z these_o together_o with_o the_o other_o beforementioned_a be_v and_o be_v matter_n of_o practice_n and_o not_o of_o faith_n but_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o faith_n say_v they_o we_o agree_v but_o the_o plain_a truth_n of_o it_o be_v they_o define_v all_o matter_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v those_o wherein_o they_o agree_v so_o that_o to_o say_v the_o roman_a church_n do_v agree_v in_o all_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v but_o to_o say_v they_o agree_v in_o those_o thing_n they_o do_v agree_v in_o and_o so_o do_v all_o other_o church_n 6thly_a as_o for_o miracle_n i_o consider_v they_o be_v not_o only_o pretend_v to_o be_v wrought_v by_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o also_o by_o the_o turk_n heathen_n and_o present_a jew_n and_o since_o i_o can_v see_v no_o
