thing_n ought_v to_o be_v hold_v in_o all_o reason_n for_o ancient_a which_o those_o who_o we_o do_v account_v ancient_a do_v themselves_o esteem_v to_o be_v ancient_a the_o five_o observation_n be_v about_o the_o unanimity_n and_o uniform_a consent_n of_o the_o father_n which_o some_o contentious_a spirit_n will_v have_v to_o be_v understand_v only_o when_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n be_v actual_o find_v in_o the_o write_n of_o all_o the_o father_n which_o be_v a_o most_o unjust_a and_o impertinent_a pretention_n for_o that_o any_o doctrine_n or_o observation_n be_v true_o hold_v by_o the_o father_n to_o be_v universal_a and_o catholic_a it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o it_o be_v find_v in_o the_o write_n of_o all_o the_o father_n when_o as_o many_o of_o they_o perhaps_o never_o treat_v of_o those_o matter_n and_o of_o who_o write_n some_o have_v perish_v and_o never_o come_v to_o our_o hand_n but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o lawful_a way_n to_o assure_v and_o satisfy_v we_o in_o this_o matter_n the_o one_o when_o the_o father_n or_o great_a eminency_n in_o every_o country_n do_v agree_v in_o the_o affirmation_n of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n and_o none_o of_o the_o other_o have_v note_v it_o as_o dissent_v from_o the_o church_n nor_o have_v write_v against_o it_o in_o this_o sort_n 〈…〉_z when_o saint_n augustine_n have_v cite_v against_o the_o pelagian_n the_o testimony_n of_o a_o eleven_o father_n eminent_a in_o learning_n and_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o point_n of_o doctrine_n he_o think_v he_o have_v sufficient_o produce_v against_o they_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o when_o the_o council_n of_o ephesus_n have_v produce_v ten_o father_n of_o former_a age_n they_o think_v they_o have_v sufficient_o express_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o precedent_a time_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o nestorius_n 42_o for_o that_o as_o vincentius_n lyrinensis_n note_v they_o doubt_v not_o but_o those_o ten_o father_n hold_v &_o believe_v the_o self_n same_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o brethren_n do_v the_o other_o way_n be_v when_o the_o father_n do_v speak_v not_o as_o doctor_n but_o as_o witness_n of_o the_o use_n and_o practice_v of_o the_o church_n in_o their_o age_n &_o do_v not_o say_v in_o my_o opinion_n this_o aught_o thus_o to_o be_v believe_v or_o thus_o to_o be_v understand_v or_o thus_o to_o be_v observe_v but_o the_o church_n from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o other_o believe_v thus_o or_o observe_v this_o for_o than_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o which_o they_o say_v as_o a_o thing_n say_v by_o they_o but_o as_o say_v by_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o principal_o in_o matter_n whereof_o they_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a by_o reason_n either_o of_o the_o condition_n of_o thing_n as_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o person_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o do_v not_o draw_v from_o their_o word_n only_o a_o probable_a argument_n as_o we_o do_v when_o they_o speak_v as_o particular_a doctor_n but_o the_o argument_n we_o draw_v from_o hence_o be_v a_o absolute_a demonstration_n this_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v undoubted_o for_o universal_a &_o catholic_a which_o the_o most_o eminent_a of_o the_o father_n that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o four_o first_o counsel_n have_v teach_v in_o diverse_a country_n and_o different_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o which_o none_o of_o the_o rest_n have_v

the_o whole_a church_n in_o their_o age_n and_o that_o shall_v undoubted_o remain_v as_o ancient_a and_o apostolic_a which_o the_o father_n of_o those_o age_n have_v testify_v to_o have_v be_v

from_o the_o express_a tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o those_o thing_n have_v be_v universal_o observe_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o four_o first_o counsel_n they_o can_v not_o be_v institute_v but_o by_o a_o universal_a authority_n for_o in_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v then_o exact_o observe_v the_o rule_n mention_v by_o vincentius_n lyrinensis_n to_o oppose_v universality_n against_o particularity_n and_o therefore_o one_o doctrine_n or_o observation_n of_o one_o particular_a prince_n can_v never_o come_v to_o be_v the_o belief_n or_o custom_n uniform_a and_o universal_a throughout_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n especial_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o no_o one_o of_o the_o father_n live_v near_o the_o time_n of_o those_o universal_a innovation_n shall_v have_v perceive_v or_o note_v but_o whatsoever_o be_v then_o universal_o observe_v in_o the_o whole_a church_n must_v necessary_o be_v institute_v by_o some_o universal_a prince_n for_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o your_o minister_n there_o be_v in_o those_o age_n but_o two_o principal_a and_o universal_a authority_n the_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o other_o of_o general_a

universal_o and_o uniform_o observe_v in_o the_o church_n in_o all_o country_n &_o province_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o four_o first_o general_n counsel_n and_o not_o to_o have_v
