fall_n so_o that_o if_o this_o text_n and_o prayer_n reach_v to_o your_o pope_n it_o shall_v rather_o secure_v they_o from_o damnable_a apostasy_n in_o practice_n which_o you_o confess_v many_o of_o

which_o be_v sufficient_a if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o and_o that_o be_v from_o god_n providence_n it_o be_v unbecoming_a the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o leave_v his_o church_n without_o a_o guide_n or_o infallible_a judge_n by_o which_o mean_v there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n of_o controversy_n and_o since_o you_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o have_v any_o such_o in_o your_o church_n it_o must_v be_v in_o we_o or_o else_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n prot._n i_o have_v think_v you_o will_v have_v only_o teach_v i_o but_o now_o it_o seem_v you_o will_v teach_v god_n how_o to_o govern_v the_o world_n it_o shall_v seem_v to_o i_o that_o god_n be_v not_o of_o your_o mind_n he_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o end_v all_o controversy_n but_o to_o permit_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v

person_n where_o people_n shall_v have_v find_v this_o infallibility_n be_v it_o ever_o know_v since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o any_o prince_n constitute_v judge_n in_o his_o kingdom_n not_o so_o much_o as_o give_v notice_n to_o his_o people_n who_o they_o be_v to_o who_o they_o must_v resort_v for_o justice_n this_o god_n have_v not_o do_v for_o you_o do_v not_o pretend_v a_o particular_a place_n which_o settle_v this_o infallible_a judge_n at_o rome_n but_o only_o some_o general_n and_o fallacious_a argument_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o beside_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v evident_a that_o yourselves_o be_v not_o agree_v about_o it_o but_o some_o seek_v for_o this_o infallible_a judgement_n in_o the_o pope_n other_o in_o a_o general_n council_n and_o these_o do_v as_o fierce_o dispute_v one_o against_o another_o in_o this_o point_n as_o you_o do_v against_o we_o in_o many_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v much_o more_o rational_a for_o i_o to_o conclude_v thus_o god_n have_v not_o nominate_v and_o appoint_v such_o a_o infallible_a judge_n in_o the_o church_n therefore_o there_o be_v none_o and_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a there_o shall_v be_v one_o than_o saucy_o to_o undertake_v to_o be_v the_o counsellor_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o to_o tell_v he_o what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o then_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v do_v in_o

they_o end_v nor_o will_v they_o be_v much_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o church_n if_o man_n will_v learn_v to_o give_v any_o allowance_n for_o the_o infirmity_n
