will_v all_o not_o only_o say_v but_o swear_v also_o that_o they_o have_v omit_v no_o endeavour_n of_o diligence_n or_o pious_a mean_n they_o be_v all_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n sure_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o that_o those_o who_o differ_v from_o they_o be_v delude_v blind_v with_o passion_n byase_v by_o interest_n or_o the_o like_a give_v i_o sir_n a_o infallible_a rule_n whereby_o i_o may_v know_v which_o of_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o contrary_a phil._n i_o tell_v you_o once_o again_o let_v god_n judge_v they_o i_o meddle_v with_o none_o of_o they_o it_o be_v not_o my_o affair_n i_o be_o certain_a i_o be_o in_o the_o right_n eu._n under_o favour_n sir_n i_o think_v this_o a_o demonstration_n that_o every_o protestant_a church_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n according_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n both_o in_o the_o true_a church_n and_o out_o of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o consequent_o neither_o in_o nor_o out_o which_o be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n i_o thus_o prove_v my_o assertion_n every_o protestant_a church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n because_o her_o member_n of_o sound_a judgement_n be_v fit_a judge_n in_o controversy_n of_o faith_n by_o scripture_n which_o alone_o they_o follow_v and_o which_o be_v clear_a in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n every_o protestant_a church_n be_v also_o a_o false_a church_n because_o those_o church_n which_o be_v by_o member_n of_o sound_a judgement_n govern_v themselves_o by_o scripture_n judge_v heretical_a blasphemer_n anti-christian_n and_o diabolical_a must_v needs_o be_v false_a church_n but_o as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a protestant_n church_n which_o have_v not_o by_o some_o other_o particular_a protestant_a church_n be_v so_o call_v represent_v and_o believe_v therefore_o every_o protestant_a church_n be_v false_a thus_o be_v every_o protestant_a church_n both_o true_a and_o false_a and_o consequent_o church_n and_o no_o church_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n phil._n hold_v sir_n not_o so_o fast_o i_o have_v let_v you_o ramble_v long_o enough_o it_o be_v now_o time_n to_o take_v you_o

of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o believe_v it_o with_o divine_a faith_n that_o be_v it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v none_o of_o the_o essential_o or_o fundamental_o of_o
