as_o immediate_o from_o christ_n or_o from_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o saint_n peter_n do_v though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o measure_n but_o the_o

pastor_n in_o the_o church_n can_v be_v frame_v or_o fashion_v to_o be_v true_a stone_n in_o this_o build_n but_o no_o man_n which_o absolute_o believe_v the_o present_a romish_a church_n can_v have_v any_o absolute_a belief_n that_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n or_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v infallible_o true_a or_o contain_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o best_a belief_n that_o any_o romanist_n can_v have_v be_v but_o conditional_a and_o the_o condition_n be_v this_o if_o the_o present_a romish_a church_n to_o wit_n the_o pope_n and_o such_o as_o rely_v upon_o his_o authority_n be_v absolute_o infallible_a and_o can_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o it_o will_v be_v reply_v in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o roman_a catholic_n take_v it_o as_o a_o principle_n most_o unquestionable_a that_o their_o church_n can_v err_v they_o for_o this_o reason_n must_v believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n concern_v christ_n to_o be_v infallible_a and_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n to_o contain_v the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o the_o church_n their_o mother_n which_o they_o firm_o believe_v can_v err_v do_v tell_v they_o so_o or_o as_o their_o own_o writer_n speak_v because_o the_o church_n their_o mother_n do_v canonize_v these_o book_n for_o the_o book_n of_o god_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o
