not_o be_v a_o protestant_n if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v that_o be_v than_o protestant_n be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n but_o a_o company_n that_o have_v forsake_v the_o true_a church_n and_o can_v

you_o be_v convince_v of_o proper_a and_o formal_a schism_n by_o the_o confutation_n of_o your_o excuse_n whereby_o you_o will_v clear_v your_o revolt_n from_o so_o heinous_a a_o crime_n which_o you_o set_v down_o cap._n 5._o nu_fw-la 36._o i_o will_v fain_o know_v wherein_o i_o may_v not_o without_o schism_n forsake_v the_o external_a communion_n of_o they_o with_o who_o i_o agree_v in_o faith_n whether_o i_o be_v bind_v for_o fear_v of_o schism_n to_o communicate_v with_o those_o that_o believe_v as_o i_o do_v only_o in_o lawful_a thing_n or_o absolute_o in_o every_o thing_n whether_o i_o be_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n and_o not_o only_o in_o a_o common_a confession_n of_o faith_n wherein_o we_o agree_v but_o in_o a_o common_a dissimulation_n or_o abjuration_n of_o it_o these_o your_o question_n or_o excuse_n be_v frivolous_a and_o idle_a for_o many_o reason_n first_o because_o you_o suppose_v without_o proof_n that_o the_o universal_a visible_a church_n may_v be_v stain_v with_o superstition_n &_o idolatry_n which_o be_v the_o main_n point_n in_o question_n and_o your_o supposition_n to_o be_v false_a we_o prove_v even_o by_o this_o argument_n that_o church_n can_v be_v stain_v with_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n who_o external_a communion_n or_o union_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o under_o one_o head_n can_v be_v forsake_v without_o the_o most_o proper_a and_o formal_a crime_n of_o schism_n but_o to_o forsake_v the_o external_a communion_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n you_o confess_v to_o be_v the_o most_o formal_a crime_n of_o schism_n ergo_fw-la the_o external_a communion_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n can_v be_v stain_v universal_o with_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n 10._o second_o your_o question_n be_v vain_a because_o they_o imply_v contradiction_n &_o destroy_v each_o other_o for_o how_o can_v it_o consist_v together_o that_o you_o do_v agree_v in_o faith_n with_o the_o church_n in_o fundamental_o and_o that_o yet_o she_o teach_v idolatry_n and_o urge_v you_o to_o abjure_v with_o she_o the_o faith_n wherein_o you_o &_o she_o both_o agree_v three_o if_o the_o church_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v stain_v with_o universal_a error_n and_o idolatry_n it_o do_v indeed_o follow_v that_o you_o must_v not_o communicate_v with_o she_o in_o idolatry_n but_o not_o that_o you_o may_v forsake_v the_o external_a common_a union_n of_o all_o the_o member_n thereof_o to_o the_o head_n and_o universal_a authority_n which_o join_v they_o together_o in_o one_o society_n of_o a_o christian_a church_n but_o protestant_n forsake_v the_o unity_n of_o their_o follow-member_n refuse_v to_o communicate_v with_o they_o not_o only_o in_o superstition_n but_o also_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o subjection_n to_o the_o head-authority_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n they_o do_v divide_v themselves_o from_o that_o body_n erect_v to_o themselves_o new_a conuenticlss_o new_a church_n under_o

will_v say_v have_v they_o not_o forsake_v that_o unity_n of_o subjection_n to_o the_o common_a head_n they_o must_v have_v profess_v idolatry_n or_o else_o have_v be_v burn_v i_o answer_v if_o the_o supposition_n be_v true_a of_o idolatry_n in_o the_o church_n they_o have_v be_v bless_a martyr_n in_o choose_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o either_o to_o commit_v idolatry_n or_o divide_v the_o church_n but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o so_o but_o seek_v to_o divide_v the_o church_n to_o save_v their_o lyve_n they_o be_v now_o damn_a schismatic_n for_o will_v you_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o man_n may_v commit_v the_o most_o formal_a crime_n of_o schism_n and_o rebellion_n against_o the_o church_n rather_o than_o be_v put_v to_o death_n then_o if_o a_o prince_n perfecute_v man_n for_o religion_n they_o may_v rebel_v and_o divide_v his_o kingdom_n if_o they_o be_v able_a rather_o than_o die_v for_o their_o religion_n 12._o you_o say_v cap._n 5._o n._n 55._o in_o fine_a no_o man_n

of_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v to_o be_v a_o most_o formal_a and_o proper_a schismatique_n ergo_fw-la no_o fear_n of_o be_v either_o stain_v with_o superstition_n or_o put_v to_o death_n can_v
