blaspheme_v the_o church_n disperse_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n except_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o some_o few_o of_o the_o west_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o his_o judgement_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o catholic_a church_n because_o vrbicus_n who_o blaspheme_v the_o catholic_a church_n commend_v and_o follow_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n many_o thing_n may_v be_v bring_v for_o this_o purpose_n but_o i_o strive_v for_o brevity_n this_o may_v suffice_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o ancient_a father_n do_v not_o hold_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n in_o this_o church_n there_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o saint_n which_o communion_n the_o papist_n devise_v to_o be_v between_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n and_o they_o that_o be_v in_o purgatory_n these_o be_v vain_a conceit_n without_o any_o ground_n for_o the_o church_n have_v this_o communion_n with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o among_o themselves_o as_o saint_n john_n teach_v 3_o 1._o joh._n 1._o 3_o our_o communion_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o declare_v this_o communion_n which_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n have_v one_o with_o another_o he_o say_v if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o 7._o 1_o joh._n 1._o 3_o 7._o be_v in_o the_o light_n we_o have_v communion_n one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n in_o which_o word_n he_o declare_v who_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o communion_n and_o consequent_o who_o be_v member_n of_o this_o church_n for_o we_o have_v communion_n one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n then_o they_o have_v this_o communion_n who_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o be_v in_o purgatory_n can_v have_v no_o part_n of_o this_o communion_n because_o they_o be_v not_o cleanse_v from_o all_o their_o sin_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n this_o communion_n than_o be_v a_o communion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o the_o redeem_v have_v among_o themselves_o these_o be_v they_o who_o sing_v that_o new_a song_n thou_o be_v worthy_a 9_o apoc._n 5._o 9_o to_o take_v the_o book_n and_o to_o open_v the_o seal_n thereof_o for_o thou_o be_v slay_v and_o have_v redeem_v we_o to_o god_n by_o thy_o blood_n out_o of_o every_o kindred_n and_o tongue_n and_o people_n and_o nation_n this_o be_v the_o communion_n that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o redeem_v have_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n that_o be_v of_o such_o as_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o this_o communion_n be_v not_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o communion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v such_o a_o communion_n which_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n be_v hold_v among_o such_o man_n as_o have_v no_o inward_a grace_n but_o only_o the_o external_a profession_n of_o religion_n this_o be_v their_o own_o confession_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n be_v not_o among_o they_o for_o saint_n have_v no_o communion_n with_o wicked_a who_o have_v no_o inward_a grace_n who_o be_v the_o member_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o of_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o between_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o member_n of_o the_o devil_n there_o can_v be_v no_o communion_n as_o s_n paul_n proove_v for_o what_o fellowship_n 6._o 2._o cor._n 6._o have_v righteousness_n with_o unrighteousness_n or_o what_o communion_n have_v light_a with_o darkness_n or_o what_o concord_n have_v christ_n with_o

catholic_a church_n because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v neither_o holy_a nor_o catholic_a neither_o in_o it_o be_v find_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n then_o they_o who_o boast_v so_o much_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n the_o catholic_a church_n suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v blind_v by_o cozen_a companion_n who_o know_v not_o the_o truth_n for_o they_o think_v to_o hold_v the_o
