body_n else_o will_v allow_v she_o to_o be_v so_o and_o thus_o any_o church_n may_v keep_v this_o name_n which_o do_v original_o belong_v to_o all_o true_a orthodox_n church_n as_o for_o heretic_n they_o have_v challenge_v the_o name_n and_o keep_v it_o too_o among_o themselves_o as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v though_o it_o belong_v no_o more_o to_o they_o than_o it_o do_v to_o she_o his_o other_o indelible_a name_n of_o time_n and_o place_n he_o may_v make_v the_o best_a of_o he_o can_v but_o let_v all_o concern_v in_o blackfriars_a and_o austin-friars-_a and_o the_o house_n of_o

prove_v that_o they_o be_v true_a church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o each_o other_o for_o if_o three_o part_n in_o four_o of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n be_v very_o corrupt_a and_o degenerate_a in_o faith_n and_o worship_n and_o be_v in_o one_o communion_n this_o will_v be_v the_o most_o catholic_n communion_n as_o catholic_n signify_v the_o most_o general_a and_o universal_a but_o yet_o the_o four_o part_n which_o be_v sincere_a will_v be_v the_o best_a and_o true_a church_n and_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o that_o signify_v the_o communion_n of_o all_o orthodox_n and_o pure_a church_n this_o distinction_n of_o catholic_n our_o answerer_n like_v well_o and_o say_v it_o do_v not_o hurt_v they_o for_o that_o case_n be_v yet_o to_o come_v viz._n that_o the_o most_o corrupt_a communion_n shall_v be_v most_o catholic_n or_o universal_a but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o though_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v too_o true_a but_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o the_o bare_a name_n of_o catholic_n can_v prove_v a_o church_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n because_o that_o do_v not_o relate_v to_o its_o nature_n and_o essence_n but_o to_o its_o communion_n now_o catholic_n communion_n signify_v either_o the_o most_o universal_a communion_n or_o the_o communion_n only_o of_o pure_a and_o orthodox_n church_n be_v their_o number_n more_o or_o less_o if_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n the_o most_o catholic_n communion_n may_v be_v the_o most_o corrupt_a for_o it_o may_v so_o happen_v that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o each_o other_o may_v be_v very_o corrupt_a if_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n we_o must_v first_o know_v whether_o those_o church_n be_v pure_a and_o orthodox_n before_o we_o can_v tell_v whether_o they_o be_v catholic_n church_n and_o therefore_o in_o both_o sense_n the_o bare_a name_n of_o catholic_n can_v prove_v a_o church_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n for_o we_o must_v first_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v true_a as_o that_o signify_v pure_a and_o orthodox_n church_n before_o we_o can_v know_v whether_o they_o be_v catholic_n but_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o god_n will_v spread_v such_o a_o temptation_n and_o stumbling-block_n before_o his_o own_o people_n yet_o if_o he_o shall_v for_o example_n sake_n have_v suffer_v lutheranism_n or_o cranmerism_n to_o have_v spread_v to_o such_o a_o measure_n the_o palpableness_n of_o the_o schism_n will_v have_v be_v security_n perhaps_o sufficient_a to_o keep_v all_o prudent_a person_n where_o they_o be_v this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o present_a argument_n as_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v surprise_v to_o find_v he_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n but_o yet_o if_o the_o most_o catholic_n communion_n as_o that_o signify_v the_o most_o universal_a though_o the_o note_n do_v not_o refer_v to_o catholic_n communion_n but_o to_o the_o name_n catholic_n be_v a_o note_n of_o the_o true_a church_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v a_o corrupt_a communion_n to_o be_v the_o most_o universal_a but_o he_o must_v prove_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v this_o shall_v not_o be_v and_o if_o according_a to_o this_o supposition_n lutheranism_n or_o cranmerism_n have_v prevail_v three_o part_n in_o four_o over_o the_o church_n how_o can_v the_o palpableness_n of_o the_o schism_n secure_v his_o prudent_a man_n from_o the_o
