the_o ghospell_n of_o s._n mark_v and_o s._n luke_n who_o be_v not_o apostle_n but_o only_o their_o disciple_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o this_o approbation_n of_o the_o church_n here_o upon_o say_v tertullian_n if_o he_o from_o who_o s._n luke_n receive_v 2_o his_o light_n desire_v to_o have_v his_o faith_n and_o preach_v authorize_v by_o his_o predecessor_n how_o much_o more_o reason_n have_v i_o to_o desire_v the_o like_a for_o the_o gospel_n of_o s._n luke_n see_v the_o same_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o master_n thus_o far_o tertullian_n 8._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o revelation_n of_o s._n brigit_fw-la and_o s._n catherine_n of_o sienna_n albeit_o they_o be_v true_o reveal_v unto_o they_o by_o god_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o appertain_v to_o the_o catholic_a faith_n because_o they_o be_v not_o approve_v by_o the_o church_n as_o the_o undoubted_a and_o certain_a word_n of_o god_n 9_o even_o as_o also_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n many_o before_o s._n luke_n write_v the_o act_n of_o christ_n as_o s._n luke_n himself_o testify_v and_o 1._o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o ghospell_n only_o of_o two_o of_o they_o to_o wit_n s._n matthew_n and_o s._n mark_n be_v authentical_a for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o s._n john_n write_v his_o gospel_n long_o after_o s._n luke_n but_o the_o ghospell_n of_o the_o rest_n who_o write_v before_o s._n luke_n do_v not_o appertain_v unto_o faith_n because_o they_o be_v never_o approve_v by_o the_o church_n whereby_o it_o sufficient_o appear_v how_o necessary_a the_o approbation_n &_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v 10._o the_o church_n have_v the_o seven_o property_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n for_o by_o the_o church_n and_o her_o conjunction_n &_o communion_n a_o true_a believer_n may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o a_o infidel_n for_o he_o who_o believe_v the_o church_n and_o hear_v she_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n but_o he_o who_o do_v not_o hear_v she_o be_v a_o infidel_n if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n say_v our_o lord_n let_v he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o 6._o a_o heathen_a or_o publicam_fw-la and_o s._n john_n say_v he_o which_o know_v god_n hear_v we_o he_o which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v us._n 11._o the_o church_n have_v the_o eight_o property_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o believe_v with_o our_o catholic_a faith_n we_o believe_v it_o because_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o we_o from_o god_n by_o 27._o the_o church_n but_o god_n now_o reveal_v nothing_o to_o every_o member_n of_o the_o church_n immediate_o by_o himself_o yea_o even_o our_o adversary_n do_v well_o admonish_v we_o to_o labour_v most_o of_o all_o that_o no_o way_n or_o leave_v be_v grant_v to_o such_o fantastical_a revelation_n 12._o the_o church_n have_v the_o nine_o property_n for_o the_o church_n convince_v also_o turk_n and_o infidel_n by_o natural_a reason_n of_o which_o sort_n there_o be_v many_o extant_a in_o s._n controu_n thom._n we_o prove_v also_o the_o church_n by_o the_o very_a sign_n and_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v manifest_a unto_o all_o even_o turk_n and_o infidel_n whereof_o we_o will_v speak_v more_o hereafter_o 13._o the_o church_n have_v also_o the_o ten_o property_n because_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n there_o be_v express_v a_o article_n of_o the_o church_n for_o present_o after_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n first_o of_o all_o be_v set_v down_o this_o article_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n 14._o moreover_o that_o the_o church_n and_o her_o preach_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n evident_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n for_o when_o s._n paul_n dispute_v of_o that_o faith_n whereby_o all_o be_v to_o be_v save_v he_o reduce_v this_o whole_a faith_n to_o the_o preach_n seq_n of_o the_o church_n &_o unto_o her_o send_n &_o call_v of_o other_o to_o her_o ecclesiastical_a office_n 15._o so_o this_o apostle_n in_o another_o place_n declare_v that_o god_n always_o appoint_v some_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n in_o his_o church_n that_o we_o be_v not_o child_n waver_v in_o faith_n and_o carry_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v stable_n and_o constant_a always_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o confession_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 16._o last_o those_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n be_v most_o evident_a wherein_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o 15._o truth_n where_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o every_o foundation_n of_o any_o building_n have_v two_o office_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o uphould_v the_o house_n &_o to_o strengthen_v it_o the_o apostle_n here_o attribute_v they_o both_o to_o the_o church_n the_o one_o when_o he_o call_v she_o the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n the_o other_o when_o he_o call_v she_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o same_o truth_n for_o the_o pillar_n 4._o also_o of_o the_o earth_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n do_v signify_v the_o low_a foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o god_n be_v say_v to_o shake_v the_o pillar_n of_o the_o earth_n &_o elsewhere_o to_o strengthen_v the_o pillar_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o very_a foundation_n thereof_o 17._o these_o so_o manifest_a and_o perspicuous_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v compel_v calvin_n 15._o at_o the_o last_o to_o be_v of_o our_o opinion_n albeit_o after_o his_o accustom_a manner_n at_o the_o first_o he_o wrongful_o slander_v we_o affirm_v that_o catholic_n hold_v or_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n do_v blab_v out_o this_o horrible_a blsaphemy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o unless_o it_o be_v uphoulden_a by_o the_o shoulder_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v uncertain_a till_o by_o humble_a prayer_n as_o it_o be_v it_o borrow_v some_o certaynety_n from_o man_n and_o afterward_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n will_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v support_v by_o the_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o which_o he_o say_v first_o be_v a_o mere_a slander_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o truth_n or_o the_o word_n of_o god_n absolute_o and_o consider_v precise_o in_o itself_o receive_v it_o certainty_n and_o strength_n from_o the_o church_n for_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o receive_v a_o most_o perfect_a strength_n and_o large_a authority_n from_o god_n himself_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n and_o in_o consideration_n of_o our_o knowledge_n it_o receive_v it_o certainty_n from_o the_o church_n fine_a as_o afterward_o we_o will_v declare_v more_o at_o large_a the_o which_o also_o calvin_n in_o the_o word_n immediate_o follow_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v most_o true_a when_o he_o write_v in_o this_o sort_n s._n paul_n simple_o understand_v say_v 17._o calvin_n that_o which_o in_o other_o word_n he_o say_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n because_o faith_n be_v by_o hear_v there_o will_v be_v no_o say_v unless_o there_o be_v some_o that_o preach_v therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n the_o church_n support_v the_o truth_n because_o it_o make_v it_o famous_a by_o her_o praise_n and_o commendation_n because_o the_o retain_v it_o in_o sincerity_n and_o purity_n and_o because_o she_o deliver_v and_o send_v it_o to_o her_o posterity_n thus_o calvin_n 18._o but_o that_o which_o second_o he_o add_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v support_v and_o uphold_v by_o the_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o church_n be_v indeed_o most_o true_a but_o he_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o this_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v find_v but_o only_o in_o the_o church_n and_o that_o no_o other_o but_o man_n can_v preach_v the_o pure_a gospel_n wherefore_o if_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v sustain_v by_o the_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o necessary_o follow_v also_o that_o the_o church_n must_v be_v sustain_v by_o man_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o gound_z of_o truth_n albeit_o not_o absolute_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o we_o and_o our_o knowledge_n so_o as_o beza_n also_o be_v force_v to_o 1●…_n confess_v the_o same_o explicate_v those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n understand_v this_o say_v beza_n not_o simple_o in_o itself_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o us._n thus_o he_o 19_o it_o be_v therefore_o manifest_a as_o well_o out_o of_o calvin_n as_o beza_n that_o the_o church_n in_o regard_n of_o we_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o truth_n or_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o of_o our_o faith_n which_o rely_v thereon_o but_o that_o which_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n be_v
