the_o invalidity_n of_o those_o which_o be_v pretend_v by_o he_o to_o regard_v the_o church_n herself_o but_o as_o for_o such_o as_o regard_v the_o opinion_n or_o action_n of_o particular_a person_n

will_v have_v less_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o the_o body_n and_o design_n of_o his_o book_n will_v remain_v whole_o untouched_a in_o it_o he_o may_v indeed_o perhaps_o have_v some_o ill_a design_n

the_o body_n of_o his_o book_n that_o be_v whatsoever_o appear_v to_o i_o in_o it_o of_o consequence_n it_o be_v true_o a_o very_a slender_a dwarfish_a body_n be_v almost_o entire_o contain_v in_o a_o

of_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o by_o renounce_v entire_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o his_o principle_n all_o ecclesiastical_a or_o even_o civil_a authority_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o no_o church_n proceed_v logical_o in_o assert_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o religion_n but_o only_a catholic_n or_o single-independents_a the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o for_o any_o ecclesiastical_a

council_n which_o take_v great_a pain_n to_o procure_v unity_n transgress_v therein_o our_o saviour_n order_n 103._o but_o all_o protestant_n be_v not_o of_o the_o doctor_n mind_n for_o though_o they_o general_o make_v scripture_n not_o only_o the_o rule_n but_o judge_v also_o of_o faith_n when_o controvert_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o so_o neglect_v unity_n but_o that_o they_o profess_v a_o

that_o if_o the_o archbishop_n be_v alive_a none_o can_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o condemn_v they_o 104._o other_o protestant_n therefore_o refuse_v not_o submission_n to_o counsel_n as_o may_v
