every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n as_o doubtless_o every_o one_o be_v then_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o church_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v at_o all_o time_n visible_a to_o all_o man_n for_o never_o any_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o no_o nor_o all_o of_o they_o as_o i_o say_v before_o many_o

at_o any_o time_n can_v not_o be_v know_v of_o man_n in_o this_o sense_n if_o i_o shall_v grant_v your_o whole_a fyllogisme_n yet_o will_v the_o point_n in_o question_n remain_v still_o unprove_v for_o the_o church_n may_v be_v ordain_v for_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o a_o rule_n or_o mean_n whereby_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n may_v come_v to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n and_o yet_o at_o no_o time_n be_v visible_a to_o every_o particular_a man_n to_o speak_v more_o plain_a your_o proposition_n may_v be_v understand_v two_o several_a way_n first_o thus_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v take_v in_o the_o one_o part_n of_o it_o namely_o in_o the_o antecedent_n or_o former_a part_n for_o every_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o other_o for_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n if_o it_o

may_v also_o thus_o understand_v it_o that_o christ_n appear_v to_o be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o wisdom_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o last_o
