thy_o name_n prophesy_v and_o by_o thy_o name_n cast_v out_o devil_n and_o by_o thy_o name_n do_v many_o great_a work_n and_o then_o will_v i_o profess_v to_o they_o i_o never_o know_v you_o depart_v

they_o make_v he_o not_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o true_a christian_a true_o justify_v and_o sanctify_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v true_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o hold_v no_o fundamental_a error_n continue_v by_o faith_n a_o member_n of_o our_o saviour_n mystical_a body_n for_o as_o the_o just_a life_n by_o faith_n so_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v true_a faith_n there_o be_v life_n also_o but_o

remain_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n be_v a_o true_a christian_a true_o justify_v and_o sanctify_v though_o not_o perfect_o holy_a here_o we_o have_v the_o proof_n of_o your_o mayor_n such_o

therefore_o no_o sect_n of_o heretic_n be_v true_o holy_a if_o by_o true_a christian_a faith_n you_o mean_v any_o particular_a truth_n as_o proposition_n a_o christian_a ought_v to_o believe_v every_o

your_o mayor_n i_o deny_v your_o minor_a not_o every_o heresy_n but_o that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o foundation_n only_o be_v opposite_a to_o true_a christian_a faith_n &_o humility_n

which_o a_o christian_a must_v live_v though_o he_o be_v ignorant_a or_o misinstruct_v in_o diverse_a point_n of_o doctrine_n i_o have_v sever_v this_o part_n concern_v humility_n from_o the_o

every_o humane_a creature_n for_o god_n sake_n but_o proud_o oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o universal_a church_n can_v be_v holy_a but_o no_o heretic_n do_v so_o humble_a himself_o and_o every_o heretic_n so_o oppose_v therefore_o no_o heretic_n can_v be_v holy_a i_o show_v before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o universal_a church_n as_o you_o often_o name_n but_o never_o prove_v and_o therefore_o this_o argument_n proposition_n ground_v upon_o oppose_v against_o that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o such_o a_o commandment_n as_o god_n never_o give_v be_v idle_a and_o vain_a more_o particular_o i_o answer_v concern_v your_o mayor_n that_o although_o pride_n be_v always_o a_o sin_n yet_o it_o may_v sometime_o be_v find_v in_o in_o a_o man_n true_o sanctify_v &_o that_o in_o opposition_n against_o man_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n but_o your_o proposition_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o former_a part_n of_o it_o as_o you_o understand_v it_o be_v utter_o false_a for_o it_o be_v no_o way_n against_o holiness_n for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o believe_v every_o doctrine_n that_o man_n will_v propound_v 18._o if_o i_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o

which_o you_o allege_v your_o own_o interpreter_n expound_v it_o not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n he_o call_v the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n a_o humane_a creature_n

well_o but_o let_v we_o take_v it_o as_o general_o as_o you_o will_v if_o it_o be_v against_o humility_n not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o church_n it_o be_v also_o against_o it_o not_o to_o be_v

how_o then_o can_v this_o place_n prove_v that_o it_o be_v against_o true_a christian_a humility_n not_o to_o believe_v the_o church_n whatsoever_o she_o propound_v to_o be_v believe_v none_o but_o heretic_n do_v so_o humble_v themselves_o and_o many_o assumption_n dissent_v from_o their_o brethren_n in_o diverse_a opinion_n neither_o deserve_v to_o be_v count_v heretic_n though_o they_o can_v

let_v we_o therefore_o proceed_v in_o examine_v this_o discourse_n a._n d._n §._o 1._o hitherto_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n which_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o seek_v that_o by_o
