so_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o peace_n and_o order_n that_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v infallible_a or_o of_o equal_a authority_n with_o the_o

rather_o than_o make_v a_o breach_n but_o if_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o the_o pastor_n do_v rebel_n against_o the_o sovereign_n of_o the_o church_n i_o mean_v christ_n the_o people_n may_v put_v

that_o i_o have_v name_v with_o humility_n and_o modesty_n there_o will_v be_v no_o great_a danger_n of_o many_o division_n but_o this_o be_v the_o great_a secret_a of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n

one_o must_v seek_v for_o it_o for_o the_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o other_o and_o it_o be_v also_o plain_a that_o what_o primacy_n so_o ever_o st._n peter_n may_v be_v suppose_v

you_o some_o reflection_n that_o will_v i_o hope_v be_v of_o as_o great_a weight_n with_o you_o as_o they_o be_v with_o myself_o i._o all_o argument_n that_o prove_v upon_o such_o general_a consideration_n that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n name_v by_o christ_n and_o clothe_v with_o his_o authority_n signify_v nothing_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v we_o in_o what_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o nomination_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o till_o that_o be_v show_v they_o be_v only_a argument_n bring_v to_o prove_v that_o christ_n ought_v to_o have_v do_v somewhat_o that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v so_o these_o be_v in_o effect_n so_o many_o argument_n against_o christ_n unless_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v authorise_v such_o a_o judge_n therefore_o the_o right_a way_n to_o end_v this_o dispute_n be_v to_o show_v where_o such_o a_o constitution_n be_v authorise_v so_o that_o the_o most_o that_o can_v be_v make_v of_o this_o be_v that_o it_o amount_v to_o a_o favourable_a presumption_n ii_o it_o be_v a_o very_a unreasonable_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o form_v presumption_n of_o what_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v from_o inconvenience_n that_o do_v arise_v in_o case_n that_o such_o thing_n be_v not_o for_o we_o may_v carry_v this_o so_o far_o that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a to_o stop_v it_o it_o seem_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n to_o communicate_v the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o to_o all_o mankind_n and_o to_o furnish_v every_o man_n with_o such_o assistance_n as_o will_v certain_o prevail_v over_o he_o it_o seem_v also_o reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o so_o perfect_a a_o saviour_n as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v shall_v have_v show_v we_o a_o certain_a way_n and_o yet_o consistent_a with_o the_o free_a use_n of_o our_o faculty_n of_o avoid_v all_o sin_n nor_o be_v it_o very_o easy_a to_o imagine_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o reproach_n on_o his_o gospel_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o infallible_a preservative_n against_o error_n when_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a preservative_n against_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o one_o damn_v we_o more_o infallible_o than_o the_o other_o iii_o since_o presumption_n be_v so_o much_o insist_v on_o to_o prove_v what_o thing_n must_v be_v appoint_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v also_o a_o reasonable_a presumption_n that_o if_o such_o a_o court_n be_v appoint_v by_o he_o it_o must_v be_v do_v in_o such_o plain_a term_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o room_n to_o question_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o and_o since_o this_o be_v the_o hinge_n upon_o which_o all_o other_o matter_n turn_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v express_v so_o particular_o in_o who_o it_o be_v vest_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o occasion_n give_v to_o dispute_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o one_o man_n or_o in_o a_o body_n and_o if_o in_o a_o body_n whether_o in_o the_o majority_n or_o in_o the_o two_o three_o or_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n unanimous_o agree_v in_o short_a the_o chief_a thing_n in_o all_o government_n be_v the_o nature_n and_o power_n of_o the_o judge_n those_o be_v always_o distinct_o specify_v and_o therefore_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o specify_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v at_o least_o a_o strong_a presumption_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o authorise_v such_o judge_n iv._o there_o be_v several_a controversy_n raise_v among_o the_o church_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n write_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n
