church_n i_o beseech_v you_o be_v please_v to_o make_v your_o own_o application_n over_o and_o above_o all_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o only_o incapable_a of_o error_n

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o be_v never_o to_o forsake_v she_o 14._o joh._n 14._o and_o first_o our_o saviour_n promise_v that_o be_v will_v ask_v the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v send_v another_o

which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o pillar_n &_o ground_n of_o truth_n how_o then_o can_v it_o possible_o err_v then_o s._n john_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o he_o have_v

the_o same_o s._n john_n in_o his_o epistle_n general_n tell_v we_o 2.20_o 1_o john_n 2.20_o that_o we_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o holy_a one_o and_o that_o we_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o

1.10_o 1_o cor._n 1.10_o paul_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o he_o no_o

those_o of_o you_o will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n here_o be_v only_o two_o thing_n now_o as_o i_o conceive_v leave_v to_o be_v clear_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o prelate_n and_o principal_a person_n of_o christ_n church_n assemble_v together_o do_v make_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v that_o universal_a church_n disperse_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v sufficient_o clear_a by_o many_o such_o scripture_n as_o these_o and_o he_o stand_v and_o bless_v all_o the_o congregation_n of_o israel_n with_o a_o loud_a voice_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o king_n and_o all_o israel_n with_o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n before_o the_o lord_n now_o that_o this_o must_v be_v only_o mean_v of_o the_o body_n representative_a of_o israel_n be_v plain_a to_o sense_n and_o particular_o express_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n then_o solomon_n assemble_v the_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o tribe_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n unto_o king_n solomon_n in_o jerusalem_n 8.58.62.1_o 1_o king_n 8.58.62.1_o thus_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n assemble_v represent_v the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n then_o as_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o next_o point_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o a_o great_a mistake_n among_o you_o for_o you_o common_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n take_v it_o only_o for_o the_o particular_a church_n which_o former_o be_v and_o still_o be_v there_o and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o more_o indeed_o than_o particular_a but_o if_o you_o take_v it_o for_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n do_v in_o old_a day_n always_o adhere_v and_o still_o do_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n so_o it_o be_v call_v catholic_n or_o universal_a because_o diffuse_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o it_o be_v call_v
four_o mark_v you_o make_v be_v to_o exalt_v and_o oppose_v himself_o to_o and_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n and_o that_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v when_o he_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a power_n here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o moses_n be_v above_o all_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a power_n and_o yet_o in_o that_o he_o be_v not_o exalt_v above_o god_n thus_o four_o mark_n of_o antichrist_n you_o be_v please_v to_o take_v out_o of_o the_o epistle_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o your_o five_o mark_n follow_v out_o of_o s._n john_n that_o he_o must_v deny_v jesus_n christ_n which_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o concern_v the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n and_o introduce_v of_o new_a mediator_n but_o that_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o corruption_n of_o you_o as_o you_o will_v see_v in_o my_o last_o paper_n the_o six_o mark_n again_o you_o make_v to_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o worker_n of_o false_a miracle_n so_o you_o say_v the_o pope_n do_v at_o loretto_n and_o other_o place_n i_o wonder_v your_o understanding_n be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o think_v that_o we_o think_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v the_o loretto_n miracle_n but_o god_n if_o you_o will_v prove_v any_o thing_n as_o to_o this_o point_n you_o shall_v prove_v indeed_o that_o the_o pope_n do_v those_o very_a miracle_n which_o the_o scripture_n foretell_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v do_v 13.13.15_o revel_v 13.13.15_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n on_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n then_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v the_o image_n of_o a_o beast_n to_o speak_v etc._n etc._n neither_o of_o these_o miracle_n as_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o have_v be_v attempt_v yet_o by_o any_o pope_n the_o seven_o and_o last_o mark_v you_o give_v be_v that_o he_o cause_v all_o both_o small_a and_o great_a rich_a and_o poor_a free_a and_o bond_n to_o receive_v a_o mark_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o pope_n you_o say_v plain_o do_v that_o 14.9_o revel_v 16.13_o &_o ch_z 14.9_o when_o he_o impose_v his_o character_n upon_o some_o and_o mark_n upon_o all_o as_o by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n wherein_o he_o use_v the_o unction_n of_o his_o chrism_n to_o sign_v the_o forehead_n etc._n etc._n here_o be_v clear_o three_o condition_n require_v by_o the_o text_n to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o mark_n first_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v common_a to_o all_o great_a and_o little_a rich_a and_o poor_a bond_n and_o free_a second_o that_o he_o shall_v impose_v his_o character_n either_o in_o their_o forehead_n or_o right_a hand_n three_o that_o none_o but_o he_o that_o have_v his_o mark_n or_o character_n shall_v be_v privilege_v to_o buy_v or_o sell_v now_o let_v any_o man_n show_v that_o those_o condition_n do_v at_o all_o suit_n with_o the_o unction_n of_o chrism_n and_o isle_n rest_v full_o satisfy_v otherwise_o this_o argument_n which_o you_o so_o fond_o boast_v of_o have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o so_o according_a to_o my_o former_a method_n i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o reply_v and_o to_o conclude_v your_o trouble_n and_o mina_fw-la upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n can_v possible_o err_v and_o that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v that_o church_n disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n i_o prove_v by_o most_o express_a scripture_n thus_o how_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v clear_a by_o many_o scripture_n what_o probability_n then_o nay_o what_o possibility_n be_v there_o that_o a_o thing_n so_o near_o relate_v to_o he_o and_o in_o so_o high_a dear_a and_o honourable_a relation_n shall_v be_v forsake_v by_o he_o first_o that_o the_o church_n be_v his_o body_n be_v plain_a out_o of_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v we_o 4._o eph._n 4._o that_o god_n lay_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o give_v he_o to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o he_o who_o fill_v all_o
