of_o the_o matter_n between_o we_o and_o rome_n they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v heretic_n we_o deny_v it_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o see_v we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n which_o be_v give_v by_o

that_o gather_v 30._o not_o with_o i_o scatter_v abroad_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o mediocrity_n here_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o as_o the_o apostle_n aver_v there_o be_v but_o one_o 5_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o formal_a object_n god_n write_v word_n the_o authority_n whereof_o be_v from_o the_o author_n god_n himself_o and_o so_o be_v divine_a and_o what_o be_v contradictory_n to_o it_o be_v not_o divine_a nor_o to_o be_v believe_v to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o no_o meeting_n nor_o try_v with_o rome_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o papist_n

i_o answer_v that_o they_o have_v a_o material_a faith_n as_o turk_n and_o jew_n likewise_o have_v but_o not_o a_o formal_a faith_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n reveal_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n only_o and_o no_o other_o faith_n can_v be_v profitable_a for_o salvation_n the_o second_o branch_n of_o this_o politic_a objection_n be_v their_o doubt_n of_o my_o out_o come_v

that_o their_o critic_n spirit_n proceed_v more_o out_o of_o philosophical_a and_o mathematical_a than_o out_o of_o christian_a or_o thologicall_a ground_n in_o this_o their_o censure_n of_o my_o
