his_o allegation_n to_o have_v be_v any_o crime_n in_o dioscorus_n as_o this_o author_n will_v make_v you_o believe_v 2._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o monk_n of_o syria_n call_v hormisda_v the_o

church_n no_o bishop_n be_v to_o receive_v any_o man_n into_o his_o communion_n that_o have_v be_v just_o excommunicate_v by_o another_o so_o that_o when_o the_o council_n of_o constantinople_n

faith_n be_v undoubted_o true_a and_o primitive_a in_o all_o its_o particular_n because_o otherwise_o the_o church_n as_o they_o conceive_v must_v have_v fail_v and_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n touch_v his_o preserve_n and_o assist_v his_o church_n to_o the_o world_n end_n must_v have_v come_v to_o nothing_o upon_o which_o false_a supposition_n they_o run_v away_o at_o all_o rate_n with_o

see_v then_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o be_v so_o wide_a either_o they_o or_o we_o must_v necessary_o be_v under_o a_o very_a great_a mistake_n and_o therefore_o in_o compliance_n with_o your_o

you_o how_o the_o doctrine_n we_o profess_v be_v general_o profess_v and_o own_a from_o age_n to_o age_n in_o those_o church_n which_o be_v near_a home_n 2._o that_o at_o the_o reformation_n and_o before_o the_o faith_n of_o those_o church_n which_o be_v more_o remote_a and_o distant_a from_o we_o be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o in_o most_o of_o those_o material_a point_n which_o lie_v now_o

discharge_v the_o protestant_a religion_n from_o those_o imputation_n which_o be_v common_o but_o unjust_o cast_v upon_o it_o 1._o first_o let_v we_o look_v into_o the_o condition_n of_o religion_n from_o the_o primitive_a age_n to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o see_v if_o those_o doctrine_n which_o we_o protestant_n profess_v be_v not_o profess_v and_o own_a from_o age_n to_o

effectual_a way_n therefore_o will_v be_v to_o observe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_n in_o their_o disputation_n and_o controversy_n with_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o either_o when_o they_o purposely_o write_v against_o some_o know_a error_n and_o general_o use_v the_o same_o argument_n as_o so_o many_o receive_a principle_n or_o when_o they_o meet_v together_o
