can_v he_o be_v guild_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o infallibility_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o heresy_n and_o much_o more_o that_o he_o have_v infallible_a ground_n for_o the_o violence_n or_o

their_o soul_n that_o hold_v they_o and_o for_o papist_n though_o they_o be_v least_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o all_o other_o because_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o their_o keep_a faith_n with_o
