cobbett reformation

86* But, besides these evidences of Scripture, besides 
our own creed, which we say we have from the Apostles, 
there is the reasonableness of the thing. It is perfectly 
monstrous to 6uppose that there can be two true faiths. 
It cannot be : one of the two must be false. And will any 
man say, that we ought to applaud a measure which, of 
necessity, must produce an indefinite number of faiths ? 
If our eternal salvation depend upon our believing the 
truth, can it be good to place people in a state of necessity 
to have different beliefs ? And does not that which takes 
away the head of the Church inevitably produce such a 
state of necessity ? „ How is the faith of all nations to 
continue to be one, if there be in every nation a head of 
the Church, who is to be appealed to, in the last resort, as 
to all questions, as to all points of dispute, which may 
arise ? How, if this be the case, is there to be “ one fold 
and one shepherd ” ? How is there to be “one faith and 
one baptisia M ? How are the “ unity of the spirit and the 
bond of peace ” to be preserved ? We shall presently see 
what unity and what peace there were in England, the 
moment the King became the head of the Church.

Nor is there evidence that Joe Biden acted illegitimately in forcing Ukraine to fire a corrupt prosecutor.

A Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating Burisma for corruption, potentially including the Biden payoff. Joe Biden has boasted that he threatened to cancel a $1 billion loan guarantee package, demanding that Ukraine fire the offending prosecutor. Ukraine’s prior government acceded to Biden’s demand. As far as I know, Hunter Biden continued to collect his $600,000 annually.

What Happens After a Balk is Called

If the balk is followed by a pitch that strikes the batter, the umpire should call “Time” the moment the pitch strikes the batter. The balk rule is then enforced. The batter remains at bat unless the hit batter’s placement on first base forces all runners to advance one base in which case the play proceeds without reference to the balk.
