see_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n what_o assurance_n can_v i_o have_v of_o my_o salvation_n if_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o catholic_a church_n how_o can_v i_o believe_v myself_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o body_n which_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v to_o be_v for_o this_o holy_a catholic_a church_n be_v the_o number_n of_o all_o those_o who_o god_n have_v predestinate_v and_o elect_v and_o though_o the_o catholic_a church_n may_v have_v in_o it_o error_n and_o perhaps_o heresy_n yet_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n can_v have_v none_o in_o it_o but_o orthodox_n and_o true_a believer_n for_o it_o be_v as_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n to_o save_v all_o that_o believe_v the_o come_n of_o the_o flood_n but_o unbeliever_n be_v all_o exclude_v from_o enter_v into_o it_o it_o be_v as_o the_o corporation_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n in_o which_o who_o name_n be_v not_o enrol_v and_o none_o be_v enrol_v that_o believe_v not_o they_o can_v be_v no_o partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a privilege_n of_o which_o salvation_n be_v the_o chief_a if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o holy_a catholic_a church_n then_o christ_n shall_v be_v a_o shepherd_n without_o a_o flock_n then_o god_n the_o father_n shall_v be_v a_o king_n without_o a_o people_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v a_o guide_n and_o have_v none_o to_o lead_v but_o the_o two_o first_o of_o these_o be_v assure_v we_o by_o christ_n where_o he_o say_v fear_v not_o little_a flock_n for_o it_o be_v your_o father_n pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n and_o the_o last_o where_o he_o say_v he_o will_v send_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a catholic_a church_n which_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v not_o of_o it_o and_o not_o be_v of_o it_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o it_o to_o be_v holy_a and_o catholic_a be_v indeed_o the_o proper_a character_n of_o a_o christian_a church_n the_o first_o representation_n whereof_o be_v then_o when_o at_o pentecost_n there_o meet_v at_o jerusalem_n of_o all_o nation_n under_o heaven_n parthian_n and_o mede_n and_o elamites_n and_o the_o dweller_n in_o mesopotamia_n and_o judea_n in_o cappadocia_n pontus_n and_o asia_n phrygia_n and_o pamphylia_n in_o egypt_n and_o in_o the_o part_n of_o

apparent_a by_o plurality_n of_o nation_n to_o be_v catholic_a and_o by_o visible_a grace_n to_o be_v holy_a this_o church_n therefore_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v holy_a yet_o not_o holy_a in_o perfection_n but_o tend_v to_o perfection_n and_o just_o call_v holy_a for_o its_o inchoation_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v catholic_a but_o catholic_a in_o doctrine_n not_o in_o discipline_n and_o therefore_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o as_o concern_v doctrine_n be_v this_o quod_fw-la ab_fw-la omnibus_fw-la quod_fw-la ubique_fw-la quod_fw-la semper_fw-la for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o ab_fw-la omnibus_fw-la it_o be_v not_o catholic_a in_o person_n if_o not_o ubique_fw-la not_o catholic_a in_o place_n if_o not_o semper_fw-la not_o catholic_a in_o time_n and_o all_o these_o must_v concur_v to_o make_v the_o church_n be_v catholic_a in_o doctrine_n in_o discipline_n not_o so_o for_o there_o neither_o ab_fw-la omnibus_fw-la nor_o ubique_fw-la nor_o semper_fw-la be_v require_v but_o it_o may_v be_v various_a and_o diverse_a according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o time_n and_o place_n and_o yet_o in_o doctrine_n be_v the_o catholic_a church_n for_o discipline_n be_v but_o only_o ecclesiastical_a where_o doctrine_n be_v divine_a this_o article_n bind_v my_o belief_n to_o no_o particular_a church_n as_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a for_o take_v it_o by_o itself_o without_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o it_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o a_o church_n as_o a_o conventicle_n which_o though_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a at_o least_o in_o a_o moral_a holiness_n yet_o i_o can_v deny_v that_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v holy_a because_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o believe_v no_o true_a holiness_n to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n this_o catholic_a church_n be_v a_o school_n of_o instruction_n to_o teach_v we_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o know_v and_o a_o rule_n of_o direction_n to_o inform_v we_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v if_o it_o be_v but_o only_o what_o saint_n thomas_n say_v this_o may_v make_v we_o doubt_v of_o christ_n resurrection_n or_o if_o it_o be_v but_o only_o what_o saint_n peter_n say_v this_o may_v make_v we_o incline_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o jew_n but_o when_o it_o be_v that_o which_o all_o the_o apostle_n with_o one_o consent_n say_v this_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o can_v never_o make_v we_o to_o go_v astray_o and_o therefore_o to_o this_o church_n i_o submit_v all_o my_o faculty_n both_o my_o understanding_n to_o her_o decree_n and_o my_o will_n to_o her_o counsel_n and_o make_v account_n that_o if_o i_o know_v any_o thing_n and_o not_o of_o her_o instruction_n it_o will_v prove_v but_o falsehood_n if_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o not_o by_o her_o direction_n it_o will_v prove_v but_o folly_n for_o this_o that_o spouse_n of_o christ_n of_o which_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o be_v all_o fair_a and_o there_o be_v no_o spot_n in_o thou_o oh_o then_o let_v not_o i_o begin_v to_o make_v any_o spot_n in_o the_o face_n of_o thy_o spouse_n o_o lord_n but_o so_o purge_v i_o with_o hyssop_n that_o though_o i_o be_v not_o pure_a yet_o i_o may_v be_v clean_o at_o least_o not_o so_o foul_a to_o defile_v other_o nor_o deserve_v with_o miriam_n to_o be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o camp_n of_o thy_o militant_a church_n but_o may_v come_v to_o thy_o triumphant_a as_o therefore_o this_o article_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v to_o believe_v so_o let_v it_o have_v the_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o the_o first_o and_o have_v the_o high_a place_n in_o our_o belief_n for_o indeed_o all_o the_o article_n that_o follow_v be_v but_o as_o flower_n that_o grow_v in_o the_o garden_n of_o this_o catholic_a church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n as_o the_o flower_n of_o charity_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o flower_n of_o faith_n the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o flower_n of_o hope_n and_o the_o life_n everlasting_a as_o the_o flower_n of_o reward_n if_o i_o may_v not_o rather_o say_v as_o the_o whole_a nosegay_n of_o all_o the_o other_o flower_n together_o see_v in_o this_o they_o have_v all_o their_o smell_n unite_v into_o one_o fragrant_a odour_n charity_n raise_v to_o

mention_n at_o all_o make_v of_o the_o scripture_n for_o see_v we_o be_v command_v to_o search_v the_o scripture_n no_o doubt_n it_o be_v require_v we_o shall_v believe_v the_o scripture_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v believe_v they_o why_o be_v they_o leave_v out_o in_o the_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n be_v it_o not_o that_o these_o be_v article_n of_o belief_n for_o a_o christian_a man_n before_o any_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v write_v and_o how_o then_o can_v they_o have_v any_o place_n in_o the_o creed_n when_o they_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o any_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o life_n
