a_o new_a invent_v and_o upstart_n church_n which_o with_o christ_n primitive_a church_n have_v no_o agreans_n like_a as_o it_o shall_v most_o plain_o appear_v unto_o you_o by_o these_o profess_v

for_o if_o a_o papist_n may_v not_o become_v a_o protestant_n because_o he_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o popish_a church_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o protestant_a must_n not_o become_v a_o papist_n
