by_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n must_v affirm_v that_o go_v out_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o a_o church_n determine_v to_o such_o a_o place_n or_o succession_n be_v not_o always_o a_o go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n for_o that_o church_n may_v happy_o usurp_v a_o jurisdiction_n and_o require_v a_o unlawful_a subjection_n and_o pervert_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o a_o church_n continue_v the_o same_o for_o place_n and_o succession_n may_v yet_o go_v out_o from_o itself_o i._n e._n from_o what_o it_o be_v ancient_o by_o take_v to_o itself_o a_o new_a unwarrantable_a power_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o forsake_v the_o doctrine_n it_o ancient_o profess_v 12._o for_o a_o church_n to_o go_v out_o of_o itself_o and_o return_v to_o itself_o need_v not_o seem_v any_o strange_a thing_n or_o phrase_n it_o be_v what_o we_o see_v in_o every_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o read_v of_o that_o unthrifty_a son_n s._n luk._n 15.17_o that_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o himself_o before_o but_o to_o clear_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o church_n by_o instance_n when_o the_o arrian_n possess_v all_o the_o bishop_n see_v and_o rule_v the_o whole_a church_n as_o to_o the_o more_o visible_a state_n of_o it_o the_o true_a catholic_n drive_v into_o corner_n and_o so_o few_o or_o so_o little_a see_v that_o the_o emperor_n constantius_n think_v he_o have_v cause_n to_o say_v the_o whole_a christian_a world_n be_v against_o athanasius_n what_o can_v be_v judge_v of_o heresy_n &_o schism_n then_o according_a to_o this_o argument_n without_o take_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n for_o first_o champny_n will_v not_o say_v that_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o arrian_n church_n be_v bind_v to_o continue_v in_o it_o nor_o will_v he_o judge_v they_o heretic_n or_o schismatic_n for_o go_v out_o of_o it_o if_o he_o say_v they_o can_v show_v the_o arrian_n church_n go_v out_o of_o a_o more_o ancient_a it_o be_v very_o true_a but_o they_o can_v not_o show_v this_o by_o local_a succession_n but_o by_o forsake_v of_o ancient_a doctrine_n for_o the_o same_o bishop_n for_o the_o most_o part_n which_o before_o be_v catholic_n do_v with_o their_o flock_n turn_v arrian_n and_o so_o the_o place_n and_o person_n be_v the_o same_o only_o the_o doctrine_n or_o faith_n be_v change_v by_o reason_n of_o which_o they_o may_v true_o be_v say_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o more_o ancient_a church_n not_o by_o change_n of_o place_n and_o person_n in_o regard_n of_o which_o the_o face_n and_o visible_a communion_n of_o the_o arrian_n church_n be_v still_o the_o same_o but_o of_o christian_a faith_n and_o doctrine_n it_o be_v elegant_o say_v of_o nazianzen_n orat._n 21._o in_o the_o case_n of_o athanasius_n that_o he_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d agree_v both_o in_o seat_n and_o doctrine_n with_o the_o catholic_a bishop_n that_o go_v before_o he_o but_o not_o so_o with_o the_o arrian_n bishop_n who_o though_o no_o intruder_n as_o those_o that_o of_o catholic_n turn_v arrian_n hold_v the_o same_o seat_n with_o those_o that_o sit_v before_o they_o but_o not_o the_o same_o doctrine_n 13._o rome_n of_o our_o go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o premise_a it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v i._o that_o although_o we_o receive_v baptism_n and_o christianity_n at_o first_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o time_n of_o gregory_n the_o great_a which_o we_o thankful_o acknowledge_v yet_o be_v we_o not_o therefore_o bind_v to_o receive_v or_o continue_v in_o the_o accrue_v error_n of_o that_o church_n and_o although_o cranmer_n and_o those_o of_o his_o time_n be_v baptise_a in_o the_o communion_n of_o that_o church_n yet_o not_o bind_v therefore_o to_o continue_v in_o it_o as_o neither_o be_v they_o who_o the_o arrian_n eutychian_o or_o monothelite_n convert_v and_o baptise_a bind_v to_o continue_v in_o those_o prevail_a heresy_n when_o once_o bring_v to_o a_o knowledge_n of_o they_o ii_o that_o our_o go_v out_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o go_v out_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o papal_a jurisdiction_n from_o under_o a_o yoke_n and_o tyranny_n which_o that_o church_n have_v usurp_v over_o this_o nation_n great_a and_o heavy_a than_o any_o of_o the_o former_a heretic_n lay_v upon_o christian_a people_n over_o who_o they_o prevail_v &_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o go_v out_o of_o that_o church_n no_o otherwise_o then_o we_o go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o i.e._n out_o of_o our_o error_n in_o which_o we_o be_v before_o a_o go_v out_o of_o that_o church_n so_o far_o as_o it_o have_v go_v out_o from_o itself_o what_o ancient_o it_o be_v by_o error_n and_o superstition_n in_o the_o belief_n and_o worship_n which_o it_o require_v of_o all_o within_o her_o communion_n 14._o and_o thus_o cranmer_n show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v so_o go_v out_o when_o for_o three_o day_n together_o he_o bold_o and_o learned_o argue_v before_o the_o whole_a parliament_n against_o the_o six_o article_n to_o the_o admiration_n but_o grief_n of_o his_o adversary_n show_v plain_o how_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n half_a communion_n priest_n marriage_n image-worship_n be_v depart_v or_o go_v out_o of_o

by_o scripture_n father_n counsel_n reason_n here_o be_v all_o the_o difference_n that_o when_o the_o arrian_n or_o eutychian_a heresy_n prevail_v it_o be_v more_o clear_a and_o notorious_a because_o it_o be_v a_o change_n of_o doctrine_n by_o one_o singular_a heresy_n whereas_o the_o romish_a change_n of_o doctrine_n be_v not_o by_o one_o or_o so_o immediate_a to_o the_o foundation_n or_o at_o

long_o but_o man_n can_v remember_v it_o have_v be_v otherwise_o whereas_o the_o error_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v have_v the_o happiness_n or_o unluckiness_n rather_o in_o these_o

by_o etc._n etc._n answer_v not_o how_o we_o may_v prove_v our_o christianity_n by_o the_o romish_a church_n how_o not_o for_o a_o man_n or_o nation_n to_o prove_v their_o christianity_n by_o another_o church_n for_o example_n the_o roman_a may_v be_v take_v in_o several_a respect_n either_o because_o such_o a_o man_n or_o nation_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n or_o

prove_v they_o receive_v the_o christian_a faith_n or_o baptism_n or_o ordination_n in_o any_o other_o church_n than_o the_o roman_a but_o we_o say_v the_o proposition_n be_v false_a and_o do_v not_o
