they_o can_v hardly_o be_v draw_v to_o a_o acknowledgement_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o say_v that_o such_o unity_n of_o faith_n as_o this_o whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o impracticable_a thing_n in_o this_o life_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v thereof_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o such_o a_o rigid_a sense_n that_o the_o father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v too_o precise_a that_o way_n that_o their_o discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v metaphysical_a and_o that_o salvation_n be_v no_o so_o hard_a to_o be_v obtain_v but_o that_o there_o be_v room_n enough_o in_o heaven_n for_o both_o religion_n and_o final_o they_o object_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o exact_a unity_n as_o i_o have_v she_o describe_v even_o among_o we_o catholic_n and_o that_o themselves_o maintain_v a_o sufficiency_n of_o unity_n in_o faith_n both_o with_o the_o father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o with_o their_o own_o

maintain_v chapter_n vii_o they_o first_o strive_v to_o impeach_v our_o unity_n in_o faith_n by_o object_v that_o variety_n of_o opinion_n in_o some_o point_n which_o they_o find_v by_o our_o book_n to_o be_v among_o we_o whereby_o they_o will_v infer_v that_o there_o be_v also_o among_o we_o a_o diversity_n of_o belief_n and_o faith_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o usual_a with_o they_o then_o this_o discourse_n but_o the_o answer_n be_v short_o and_o clere_o this_o that_o wheresoever_o they_o find_v our_o doctor_n to_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n they_o shall_v also_o find_v those_o point_n in_o question_n not_o be_v have_v be_v define_v by_o the_o church_n but_o leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o be_v debate_v and_o dispute_v as_o man_n see_v cause_n such_o be_v a_o world_n

&_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v so_o captivate_a their_o understanding_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o preserve_v the_o spirit_n of_o charity_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n if_o our_o adversary_n can_v sh●w_v that_o they_o erect_v altar_n contra_fw-la altar_n or_o that_o they_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o obey_v to_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n when_o it_o be_v declare_v they_o shall_v have_v reason_n on_o their_o side_n but_o otherwise_o they_o be_v either_o

else_o betake_v themselves_o to_o some_o better_a prooffe_n the_o next_o objection_n be_v yet_o more_o stupid_a than_o the_o former_a and_o i_o wonder_v how_o caluins_n rage_n against_o the_o church_n can_v put_v he_o so_o far_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n as_o that_o he_o will_v ever_o take_v it_o into_o his_o mouth_n for_o it_o be_v he_o who_o be_v prick_v by_o our_o note_v their_o want_n of_o unity_n

that_o forsooth_o we_o have_v as_o many_o sect_n among_o we_o as_o we_o have_v several_a order_n of_o religious_a man_n and_o then_o he_o rekon_v up_o benedictans_n carmelites_n dominican_n
