That the Church of Rome is the Catholic Church: if it be Roman, it is not Catholic: The universal Catholic Roman Church, it is as much as the universal particular Church: it is a contradiction, one thing overturns another.
That the Church of Rome is the Catholike Church: if it be Roman, it is not Catholike: The universal Catholick Roman Church, it is as much as the universal particular Church: it is a contradiction, one thing overturnes another.

And then they are full of uncertainties, they are not undoubtedly yea. There is no Papist in the world would end his days so, if he be not 1drunk, if he be advised, if he be not surprised with passion, if he do not forget himself.

No; can you then say then you have a perfect absolution, that depends upon your confession? No, it is an uncertain thing. What an absurd thing is Popish Religion? it wracks the conscience of people.
