the_o apocryphal_a what_o be_v the_o first_o propriety_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 171._o the_o first_o propriety_n be_v that_o it_o derive_v all_o its_o authority_n from_o god_n alone_o not_o

the_o true_a and_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n object_n the_o four_o note_n the_o papist_n say_v be_v unity_n and_o good_a agreement_n solut._n i_o answer_v consent_n and_o unity_n be_v

out_o of_o bellarmine_n who_o ordinary_o dispute_v against_o other_o papist_n and_o allege_v their_o opposition_n and_o contradiction_n to_o themselves_o this_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o joh._n

that_o bare_a or_o secondary_a propriety_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n this_o propriety_n do_v also_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v catholic_n &_o that_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o place_n 404._o not_o because_o it_o possess_v many_o kingdom_n but_o because_o it_o be_v scatter_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o not_o tie_v to_o any_o certain_a place_n to_o any_o determinate_a country_n or_o city_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n because_o it_o do_v consist_v of_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n of_o all_o nation_n act._n 10._o three_o in_o respect_n of_o time_n because_o it_o shall_v continue_v all_o time_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v say_v mat._n 28._o i_o will_v be_v with_o you_o even_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n four_o in_o respect_n of_o unity_n because_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v at_o all_o time_n but_o one_o to_o wit_n in_o unity_n of_o

by_o these_o propriety_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o pure_a church_n but_o be_v very_o corrupt_a even_o as_o a_o rot_a apple_n be_v a_o apple_n corrupt_v and_o no_o otherwise_o than_o a_o
