XIX. We are not simply departed from the church of Rome, but [Greek or Hebrew], in some respect.
XIX. We are not simplie departed from the church of Rome, but 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, in some respect.
For we have not simply and in all things forsaken the ehurch of Rome: but only in those things, wherein it hath fallen from the apostolic church, and even from it self, and from the old and sound church: nether are we gone ⟨p. 199⟩with any other meaning, but that if it would return amended and reformed to the ancient state, we would also return unto it, and have communion with it, and in their own congregations. Which that it may one day come to pass, we beseech the Lord Jesus with our whole heart. For what were more to be wished of every good man: than that where we were by our baptism borne a new, there we might live even to our lives end? so it were in the Lord.
