of_o protestant_n these_o two_o term_n true_a and_o visible_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o church_n do_v one_o destroy_v the_o other_o as_o these_o two_o true_a and_o paint_a exclude_v each_o other_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n for_o they_o imagine_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v a_o society_n in_o something_o that_o be_v invisible_a to_o wit_n in_o justification_n and_o predestination_n whereupon_o they_o deny_v any_o ill_a or_o reprobate_n christian_n to_o be_v of_o the_o true_a church_n wherefore_o as_o he_o shall_v speak_v fond_o who_o shall_v say_v a_o true_a paint_a man_n so_o according_a to_o their_o own_o opinion_n they_o speak_v as_o fond_o when_o they_o say_v the_o true_a visible_a church_n but_o as_o we_o can_v only_o say_v the_o true_a picture_n of_o a_o man_n attribute_v the_o word_n true_a to_o the_o picture_n not_o to_o the_o man_n so_o they_o shall_v only_o the_o true_a appearance_n or_o show_v of_o the_o church_n glue_v the_o word_n
