assign_v any_o such_o on_o earth_n be_v to_o destroy_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o make_v she_o as_o particular_a as_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n out_o of_o which_o no_o

cranmer_n believe_v himself_o a_o member_n of_o this_o church_n i_o answer_v he_o do_v and_o be_v place_v by_o providence_n in_o a_o eminent_a station_n in_o the_o church_n and_o the_o care_n and_o

to_o his_o four_o question_n who_o give_v he_o authority_n to_o reform_v this_o one_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o to_o set_v up_o altar_n against_o altar_n i_o answer_v no_o body_n he_o never_o attempt_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o he_o never_o attempt_v to_o reform_v the_o catholic_n church_n because_o he_o have_v neither_o power_n or_o inspection_n over_o she_o nor_o do_v he_o ever_o

3._o the_o argument_n mr._n m._n have_v produce_v to_o prove_v the_o impossibility_n of_o a_o christian_a church_n teach_v and_o practise_v idolatry_n be_v weak_a and_o inconclusive_a sect._n 5._o first_o the_o reformation_n may_v be_v justify_v without_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o any_o other_o christian_a church_n with_o idolatry_n because_o there_o be_v many_o confess_v and_o

not_o because_o they_o count_v they_o idolatrous_a but_o because_o they_o be_v great_a abuse_n and_o deviation_n from_o the_o primitive_a rule_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n the_o thing_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o we_o common_o charge_v with_o idolatry_n be_v the_o worship_n of_o image_n the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n now_o the_o reformation_n will_v neither_o be_v unjustisiable_a nor_o unnecessary_a though_o we_o shall_v reckon_v these_o practice_n only_o in_o the_o same_o rank_n of_o abuse_n with_o the_o former_a we_o need_v not_o
