this_o be_v that_o to_o which_o he_o conceive_v every_o private_a person_n and_o church_n ought_v to_o submit_v without_o presume_v to_o examine_v how_o ancient_a that_o tradition_n do_v appear_v to_o be_v or_o how_o agreeable_a it_o be_v to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n now_o here_o we_o must_v own_v a_o dissent_n as_o to_o this_o method_n of_o judge_v of_o tradition_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o particular_a doctrine_n or_o practice_n receive_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o as_o such_o be_v in_o many_o case_n distinct_o set_v down_o by_o such_o writer_n as_o live_v in_o or_o near_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n now_o where_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o the_o account_n that_o be_v give_v by_o these_o writer_n be_v certain_o to_o those_o who_o be_v able_a to_o search_v into_o they_o a_o better_a rule_n whereby_o to_o judge_v what_o be_v a_o ancient_a doctrine_n and_o tradition_n than_o either_o the_o decree_n of_o a_o council_n of_o a_o latter_a age_n or_o the_o voice_n and_o practice_n of_o its_o pastor_n and_o people_n for_o let_v these_o agree_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v in_o vote_v any_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n to_o have_v be_v primitive_a yet_o they_o can_v never_o make_v it_o pass_v for_o such_o among_o wise_a and_o know_a man_n if_o the_o authentic_a history_n and_o record_n of_o those_o time_n show_v it_o to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o and_o this_o be_v plain_o the_o case_n as_o to_o several_a instance_n decree_v by_o the_o council_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o pastor_n and_o people_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n we_o can_v look_v upon_o her_o late_a decree_n and_o practice_n to_o be_v a_o good_a or_o a_o safe_a rule_n for_o judge_v of_o the_o antiquity_n or_o universality_n of_o church-tradition_n but_o 2._o there_o be_v yet_o a_o more_o cogent_a reason_n against_o this_o method_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o set_v up_o tradition_n in_o competition_n with_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o give_v this_o unwritten_a word_n the_o upper_a hand_n of_o the_o write_a for_o according_a to_o this_o method_n if_o the_o church_n in_o any_o age_n do_v but_o decree_n in_o council_n or_o do_v general_o teach_v and_o practise_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o ancient_a tradition_n than_o this_o must_v obtain_v and_o be_v of_o force_n with_o all_o its_o member_n though_o many_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v persuade_v that_o they_o can_v find_v it_o in_o nay_o that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n now_o this_o we_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o high_a affront_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o let_v they_o attribute_v as_o much_o as_o they_o please_v to_o the_o decree_n and_o practice_n of_o their_o church_n we_o can_v allow_v that_o any_o particular_a church_n or_o person_n shall_v be_v oblige_v upon_o these_o ground_n to_o receive_v that_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o doctrine_n which_o upon_o a_o diligent_a and_o impartial_a search_n appear_v to_o they_o not_o to_o be_v contain_v in_o nay_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o case_n we_o think_v it_o reasonable_a that_o the_o church_n sentence_n shall_v be_v make_v void_a and_o the_o voice_n of_o her_o pretend_a tradition_n be_v silence_v by_o that_o more_o powerful_a one_o of_o the_o

prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o those_o in_o communion_n with_o she_o and_o that_o all_o christian_a church_n have_v in_o all_o age_n
