be_v very_o doubtful_a if_o those_o decretal_n which_o be_v frame_v in_o the_o pope_n absence_n will_v be_v infallible_a and_o bind_v the_o conscience_n for_o if_o all_o the_o decretal_n be_v of_o

hence_o than_o every_o one_o that_o have_v not_o a_o face_n of_o a_o wizell_n may_v see_v how_o the_o papist_n make_v their_o business_n to_o catch_v a_o shadow_n and_o affirm_v their_o church_n to_o

that_o a_o bad_a governor_n or_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n may_v send_v good_a labourer_n into_o the_o vineyard_n of_o christ_n as_o i_o will_v show_v by_o a_o instance_n in_o answer_n upon_o the_o next_o follow_v argument_n a_o papist_n once_o discourse_v with_o i_o about_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o protestant_n that_o namely_o they_o be_v unlawful_a because_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o they_o that_o fall_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o become_v heretic_n frame_v this_o argument_n against_o i_o viz._n that_o antichrist_n can_v send_v no_o servant_n for_o christ_n but_o the_o roman_a pope_n as_o the_o protestant_n say_v be_v a_o antichrist_n and_o he_o can_v send_v any_o servant_n for_o christ_n it_o seem_v unto_o i_o a_o very_a strong_a argument_n at_o the_o first_o till_o at_o last_o after_o a_o little_a while_o i_o answer_v he_o thus_o that_o antichrist_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o christ_n in_o he_o can_v send_v servant_n for_o christ_n i_o allow_v but_o the_o roman_a pope_n be_v such_o a_o antichrist_n i_o deny_v and_o so_o do_v the_o protestant_n because_o they_o do_v not_o affirm_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v quite_o without_o christ_n or_o else_o he_o be_v not_o a_o open_a antichrist_n but_o a_o hide_a one_o under_o a_o cloak_n of_o a_o vicar_n of_o christ_n who_o distribute_v the_o office_n of_o his_o temporal_a and_o earthly_a court._n and_o that_o such_o a_o one_o may_v send_v good_a man_n and_o willing_a to_o serve_v christ_n i_o have_v show_v it_o by_o a_o instance_n which_o be_v this_o when_o christ_n be_v upon_o earth_n and_o the_o
