read_v these_o line_n and_o ponder_v they_o well'-what_a certain_a conclusion_n or_o resolution_n he_o can_v pick_v or_o deduce_v out_o of_o your_o word_n either_o for_o infallibility_n or_o not_o first_o that_o all_o grant_n the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n be_v god_n voice_n divine_a and_o infallible_a if_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n include_v the_o apostel_n whence_o your_o

in_o all_o truth_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n you_o easy_o grant_v a_o general_n council_n can_v err_v suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n this_o be_v just_a as_o arminius_n say_v in_o answer_n to_o that_o place_n in_o examen_fw-la john_n for_o the_o certain_a perseverance_n of_o god_n saint_n whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o and_o he_o can_v sin_v because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n now_o how_o do_v that_o heretic_n avoid_v so_o clear_a a_o testimony_n and_o evidence_n that_o be_v say_v he_o so_o long_o as_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n remain_v in_o he_o but_o it_o may_v depart_v but_o the_o apostle_n give_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o saint_n can_v

here_o a_o general_n council_n be_v infallible_a while_o it_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o if_o you_o say_v a_o general_n council_n while_o it_o do_v not_o err_v it_o do_v not_o err_v but_o in_o that_o i●_n infalliblepunc_fw-la as_o you_o tell_v we_o before_o but_o what_o if_o a_o general_n council_n do_v not_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v what_o if_o a_o general_n council_n have_v not_o this_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o it_o to_o keep_v it_o that_o it_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n what_o be_v your_o resolution_n here_o you_o leave_v we_o still_o upon_o uncertainty_n concern_v

a_o general_n council_n this_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n always_o to_o make_v it_o infallible_a in_o all_o necessary_a truth_n or_o not_o that_o be_v the_o point_n but_o this_o you_o do_v not_o dare_v not_o grant_v yet_o thus_o much_o you_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v 230._o that_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v without_o error_n that_o be_v no_o question_n
