the_o rest_n as_o do_v the_o commonwealth_n of_o venice_n geneva_n holland_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o visible_a unity_n among_o they_o either_o of_o coordination_n or_o

here_o lay_v it_o will_v appear_v as_o clear_a to_o you_o as_o i_o profess_v it_o do_v to_o i_o that_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n on_o earth_n which_o in_o the_o creed_n be_v call_v the_o

to_o the_o attain_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o without_o dispute_v any_o more_o than_o they_o will_v have_v dispute_v the_o decree_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n be_v they_o now_o live_v upon_o earth_n consequent_o that_o this_o authority_n be_v infallible_a it_o will_v only_o remain_v that_o we_o consider_v which_o among_o all_o those_o congregation_n now_o on_o earth_n which_o pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v this_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v real_o and_o true_o this_o holy_a church_n and_o spouse_n of_o christ_n for_o have_v once_o find_v she_o and_o know_v that_o she_o be_v so_o assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o she_o can_v teach_v we_o a_o error_n instead_o of_o a_o truth_n we_o shall_v no_o more_o dispute_v the_o verity_n of_o her_o doctrine_n than_o we_o shall_v have_v question_v the_o article_n of_o faith_n teach_v by_o the_o holy_a apostle_n or_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o wherefore_o if_o this_o church_n this_o infallible_a guide_n shall_v teach_v we_o that_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v that_o it_o be_v as_o lawful_a to_o desire_v the_o saint_n depart_v to_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o to_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o those_o who_o be_v live_v on_o our_o behalf_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n be_v real_o and_o true_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n or_o the_o lord_n supper_n or_o any_o the_o like_a article_n of_o faith_n we_o shall_v no_o more_o doubt_n of_o it_o then_o the_o first_o christian_n do_v dispute_v the_o verity_n of_o what_o the_o apostle_n teach_v they_o when_o they_o inform_v they_o that_o they_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n who_o they_o have_v see_v as_o man_n be_v true_a and_o very_a god_n that_o a_o virgin_n still_o remain_v a_o virgin_n may_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v forth_o a_o child_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n spirituallize_v may_v pass_v through_o a_o door_n the_o door_n be_v shut_v that_o three_o can_v be_v one_o and_o one_o three_o for_o who_o shall_v dare_v to_o question_v what_o god_n shall_v tell_v he_o to_o be_v true_a and_o if_o god_n now_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o present_a

wherefore_o as_o to_o this_o last_o question_n which_o be_v now_o this_o present_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o infallible_a guide_n and_o judge_v appoint_v by_o god_n for_o our_o direction_n and_o to_o who_o we_o be_v to_o submit_v as_o aforesaid_a i_o shall_v in_o brief_a give_v you_o that_o answer_n which_o i_o profess_v give_v i_o a_o full_a and_o clear_a satisfaction_n and_o it_o be_v short_o this_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o england_n and_o all_o other_o church_n different_a from_o the_o roman_a do_v judge_n and_o declare_v and_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v fallible_a even_o according_a to_o the_o infallible_a word_n of_o god_n if_o then_o the_o say_a protestant_n church_n of_o england_n or_o any_o other_o church_n different_a from_o the_o roman_a be_v infallible_a in_o all_o that_o they_o judge_v and_o in_o that_o they_o declare_v and_o profess_v to_o be_v true_a according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o doubtless_o be_v then_o infallible_a and_o speak_v then_o the_o infallible_a truth_n when_o they_o judge_v declare_v and_o profess_v that_o even_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v fallible_a therefore_o infallible_o they_o be_v fallible_a hence_o again_o it_o be_v thus_o prove_v that_o no_o church_n different_a from_o that_o roman_a be_v infallible_a and_o it_o be_v before_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v some_o church_n upon_o earth_n to_o be_v our_o infallible_a judge_n it_o demonstrative_o follow_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n must_v needs_o be_v this_o infallible_a judge_n because_o no_o church_n different_a from_o it_o that_o be_v none_o but_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v be_v this_o infallible_a church_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v not_o mistake_v this_o argument_n as_o some_o have_v please_v to_o do_v who_o think_v the_o force_n of_o it_o to_o lie_v thus_o viz._n the_o roman_a church_n claim_v infallibility_n therefore_o she_o be_v infallible_a this_o be_v nothing_o like_o the_o argument_n which_o i_o put_v the_o force_n of_o which_o lie_v thus_o that_o the_o church_n true_o appoint_v by_o god_n for_o this_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n can_v possible_o be_v any_o of_o those_o church_n which_o teach_v themselves_o not_o to_o be_v this_o infallible_a judge_n because_o they_o teach_v themselves_o to_o be_v fallible_a if_o then_o they_o be_v infallible_a in_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v they_o be_v infallible_a when_o they_o teach_v themselves_o to_o be_v fallible_a therefore_o infallible_o they_o be_v fallible_a now_o the_o church_n which_o be_v true_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v this_o infallible_a judge_n must_v needs_o have_v this_o condition_n that_o she_o do_v own_o her_o infallibility_n but_o
