any_o fallacy_n to_o be_v in_o our_o reason_n he_o bid_v we_o see_v his_o answer_n above_o to_o our_o three_o exception_n also_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o two_o last_o reason_n of_o all_o well_o we_o have_v see_v they_o and_o find_v nothing_o there_o but_o against_o himself_o as_o there_o have_v be_v show_v so_o this_o reason_n then_o as_o the_o rest_n also_o still_o stand_v unanswered_a and_o strong_a against_o they_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o doubt_v but_o himself_o also_o see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o how_o soever_o he_o seem_v to_o plead_v to_o the_o contrary_a before_o therefore_o now_o he_o grant_v it_o and_o so_o yield_v we_o the_o cause_n both_o in_o express_a word_n and_o by_o not_o defend_v the_o 17._o point_n of_o false_a doctrine_n wherewith_o they_o be_v charge_v neither_o their_o own_o cannon_n article_n injunction_n etc._n etc._n allege_v against_o they_o in_o express_v word_n when_o he_o say_v they_o grant_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o hold_v

before_o not_o whole_o or_o absoluteiy_a and_o so_o say_v he_o the_o apostle_n 3.3_o apostle_n 1._o tim._n 3.3_o here_o mean_v well_o but_o let_v we_o here_o know_v what_o this_o man_n himself_o mean_v hereby_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o must_v not_o for_o their_o other_o defection_n forsake_v the_o truth_n which_o they_o hold_v we_o answer_v that_o we_o do_v it_o not_o as_o himself_o know_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o his_o meaning_n shall_v come_v nothing_o near_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n themselves_o say_v they_o have_v separate_v from_o the_o papist_n yet_o he_o neither_o

notwithstanding_o that_o they_o have_v make_v separation_n from_o they_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o because_o of_o the_o truth_n which_o they_o profess_v therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o separate_v from_o they_o then_o first_o he_o contradict_v himself_o have_v grant_v that_o we_o must_v separate_v from_o they_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o hold_v otherwise_o then_o truth_n second_o he_o

nothing_o near_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n thus_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a both_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fallacy_n in_o our_o reason_n but_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o forceable_a
