So as could we restore the word to it wonted and safe signification, it might be vsed, as well as remis∣sible and irremissible. For both tend to the same effect in our Churches construction, and therefore this wrangling about words might haue béene spared, but then could not such fond obiections haue béene so fréely vented.
