in_o fundamental_o but_o subject_a to_o error_n in_o nonfundamentals_a 2._o the_o decision_n of_o general_a council_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v where_o scripture_n or_o evident_a demonstration_n come_v

which_o be_v in_o themselves_o fundamental_a other_o not_o so_o but_o yet_o withal_o those_o doctrine_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v not_o fundamental_a be_v once_o determine_v by_o the_o church_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v assent_v to_o by_o all_o catholic_n to_o who_o they_o be_v so_o represent_v for_o in_o those_o circumstance_n obedience_n be_v a_o fundemental_a duty_n but_o though_o catholic_n allow_v this_o distinction_n in_o general_n they_o withal_o profess_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o particular_a person_n of_o themselves_o to_o determine_v among_o all_o the_o church_n decision_n and_o say_v this_o or_o this_o point_n be_v necessary_a and_o fundamental_a the_o other_o not_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o term_n necessary_a fundamental_a etc._n etc._n be_v relative_a term_n when_o apply_v for_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o know_v by_o one_o which_o be_v not_o so_o by_o another_o many_o doctrine_n be_v necessary_a to_o church_n for_o their_o well_o order_v which_o be_v not_o so_o to_o any_o single_a person_n parish_n etc._n etc._n etc._n etc._n for_o this_o reason_n all_o decision_n of_o the_o church_n be_v sacred_a to_o they_o no_o permission_n to_o question_v any_o of_o they_o be_v allow_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o church_n be_v continue_v in_o unity_n and_o by_o assent_v to_o all_o decision_n they_o be_v sure_o never_o to_o dissent_v from_o those_o that_o be_v necessary_a whereas_o protestant_n take_v a_o liberty_n of_o discern_v between_o fundamental_o and_o nonfundamentals_a and_o of_o dissent_v in_o nonfundamentals_a at_o least_o wherein_o they_o think_v the_o church_n catholic_n may_v be_v fallible_a though_o they_o have_v no_o rule_n by_o which_o to_o judge_n so_o be_v beside_o a_o

church_n as_o to_o doctrine_n not_o fundamental_a beside_o the_o manifest_a interest_n of_o their_o own_o church_n be_v because_o the_o end_n why_o christ_n make_v such_o promise_n of_o lead_v his_o church_n into_o all_o truth_n be_v lest_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v prevail_v against_o she_o which_o can_v be_v do_v only_o by_o heresy_n against_o fundamental_a doctrine_n and_o therefore_o

which_o thing_n the_o doctor_n sometime_o think_v unreasonable_a that_o any_o fallible_a authority_n shall_v assume_v to_o itself_o for_o sure_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v that_o he_o condemn_v
