it_o i_o be_o sure_a bellarmin_n and_o other_o learned_a divine_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n who_o use_v all_o manner_n of_o argument_n they_o can_v think_v of_o to_o prove_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n never_o allege_v the_o authority_n of_o any_o council_n for_o it_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v infallibility_n itself_o be_v never_o determine_v by_o any_o general_a council_n and_o if_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n be_v matter_n of_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v never_o define_v by_o any_o general_a council_n why_o may_v not_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v so_o too_o nay_o how_o do_v our_o reflecter_n come_v to_o believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n for_o this_o be_v no_o more_o define_v by_o any_o general_a council_n than_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v if_o there_o must_v be_v infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n somewhere_o i_o think_v the_o pope_n who_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o supreme_a pastor_n have_v the_o fair_a pretence_n to_o it_o for_o infallibility_n ought_v in_o reason_n to_o accompany_v the_o great_a and_o most_o absolute_a power_n if_o we_o must_v have_v a_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n it_o must_v be_v the_o pope_n not_o a_o council_n because_o if_o you_o place_v infallibility_n in_o a_o council_n the_o church_n have_v no_o infallible_a judge_n any_o long_a than_o while_o the_o council_n be_v sit_v for_o the_o definition_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n how_o infallible_a soever_o they_o be_v yet_o certain_o can_v be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n which_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v to_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o church_n can_v never_o be_v without_o a_o infallible_a judge_n he_o who_o be_v the_o supreme_a pastor_n and_o judge_n must_v be_v infallible_a now_o this_o be_v the_o case_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o our_o reflecter_n prefer_v the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n before_o the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n how_o one_o come_v to_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o the_o other_o or_o if_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v why_o one_o make_v the_o character_n of_o a_o

only_o to_o relate_v matter_n of_o fact_n yet_o he_o have_v so_o cunning_a a_o way_n of_o tell_v his_o tale_n as_o to_o let_v every_o body_n know_v which_o side_n he_o be_v of_o for_o we_o may_v guess_v that_o he_o do_v not_o over_o admire_v the_o papist_n misrepresent_v and_o then_o he_o can_v be_v very_o fond_a of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n which_o be_v part_n of_o that_o character_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o goliath-argument_n as_o he_o call_v it_o concern_v the_o depose_n power_n which_o he_o put_v into_o this_o form_n 9_o in_o my_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n represent_v i_o pretend_v to_o declare_v the_o faith_n of_o a_o roman-catholick_n as_o it_o be_v define_v and_o deliver_v in_o allow_a general_n council_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o depose_n

of_o our_o faith_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o untoward_a argument_n and_o i_o wish_v he_o well_o deliver_v and_o i_o think_v he_o do_v very_o prudent_o to_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n with_o a_o sling_n and_o a_o stone_n and_o not_o venture_v to_o grapple_v with_o it_o to_o this_o he_o thus_o reply_v i_o answer_v it_o in_o short_a that_o though_o all_o doctrinal_a point_n define_v in_o any_o approve_a general_n council_n and_o propose_v to_o the_o faithful_a to_o be_v receive_v under_o a_o anathema_n be_v with_o we_o so_o many_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v obligatory_a to_o all_o of_o our_o communion_n yet_o not_o so_o of_o every_o other_o matter_n declare_v in_o such_o a_o council_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n treat_v of_o and_o resolve_v on_o in_o such_o a_o assembly_n which_o concern_v not_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o some_o matter_n of_o discipline_n government_n or_o other_o more_o particular_a affair_n and_o these_o constitution_n and_o decree_n be_v not_o absolute_o obligatory_a as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n who_o decree_n of_o doctrine_n be_v as_o much_o acknowledge_v here_o by_o catholic_n in_o england_n or_o germany_n as_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o rome_n itself_o or_o the_o vatican_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v other_o constitution_n and_o decree_n be_v not_o universal_o receive_v and_o it_o may_v be_v
anathema_n for_o have_v it_o be_v know_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o council_n of_o florence_n we_o may_v suppose_v they_o will_v have_v anathematise_v too_o as_o well_o as_o decree_v but_o this_o

no_o need_n to_o exercise_v any_o church_n censure_n and_o therefore_o no_o use_n for_o anathema_n for_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v so_o liberal_a of_o anathema_n because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o obstinate_a and_o incorrigible_a heretic_n at_o that_o time_n 2._o the_o next_o enquiry_n be_v whether_o the_o depose_n decree_n be_v a_o doctrinal_a point_n or_o only_a matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o government_n for_o thus_o the_o reflecter_n say_v that_o the_o depose_v power_n be_v not_o declare_v as_o a_o doctrinal_a point_n and_o the_o decree_n relate_v only_o to_o discipline_n and_o government_n and_o therefore_o come_v short_a of_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n this_o i_o confess_v i_o look_v on_o as_o a_o very_a

because_o he_o think_v the_o doctrine_n of_o depose_v heretical_a prince_n erroneous_a or_o only_o because_o he_o do_v like_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o if_o the_o first_o than_o it_o seem_v this_o be_v a_o doctrinal_a decree_n as_o well_o as_o a_o decree_n of_o discipline_n and_o government_n if_o he_o only_o condemn_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o without_o renounce_v the_o doctrine_n let_v he_o say_v so_o and_o see_v how_o prince_n will_v like_v it_o when_o papist_n dispute_v among_o themselves_o about_o this_o depose_v decree_n those_o who_o be_v for_o it_o vindicate_v the_o pope_n power_n to_o depose_v prince_n those_o who_o be_v against_o it_o deny_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v any_o such_o power_n which_o show_v that_o they_o think_v it_o a_o doctrinal_a dispute_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o they_o but_o whether_o the_o pope_n have_v or_o have_v not_o power_n to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v a_o point_n of_o doctrine_n but_o when_o they_o dispute_v with_o we_o heretic_n than_o the_o church_n have_v not_o decree_v it_o as_o a_o point_n of_o doctrine_n but_o only_o of_o discipline_n and_o government_n but_o let_v they_o tell_v i_o then_o if_o this_o

in_o such_o matter_n the_o church_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v by_o christ_n and_o what_o christ_n can_v not_o perfect_o instruct_v

distinction_n allow_v by_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n viz._n the_o worship_n of_o the_o invisible_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o other_o world_n though_o with_o such_o external_n act_v as_o may_v be_v pay_v to_o creature_n have_v always_o be_v account_v religious_a worship_n civil_a respect_n be_v confine_v to_o this_o world_n as_o all_o natural_a and_o civil_a relation_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o civil_a respect_n be_v but_o we_o have_v no_o intercourse_n with_o the_o other_o world_n but_o what_o be_v religious_a and_o therefore_o as_o the_o different_a kind_n and_o degree_n of_o civil_a honour_n be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o fight_n of_o the_o object_n to_o which_o they_o be_v pay_v though_o the_o external_n act_n and_o expression_n be_v the_o same_o as_o when_o man_n bow_v the_o body_n and_o be_v uncover_v you_o know_v what_o kind_n of_o honour_n it_o be_v by_o see_v who_o be_v present_a whether_o their_o father_n their_o friend_n or_o their_o prince_n or_o some_o other_o honourable_a person_n so_o the_o most_o certain_a mark_n of_o distinction_n between_o civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n be_v this_o that_o the_o one_o relate_v to_o this_o world_n the_o other_o to_o the_o invisible_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o next_o but_o god_n allow_v we_o to_o worship_n no_o invisible_a be_v but_o himself_o which_o will_v unavoidable_o confound_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o creature_n if_o the_o reflecter_n can_v give_v i_o any_o one_o instance_n of_o any_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n which_o do_v not_o account_v the_o worship_n of_o all_o invisible_a being_n to_o be_v religious_a i_o will_v own_v myself_o mistake_v and_o if_o all_o worship_n of_o invisible_a being_n be_v divine_v and_o religious_a worship_n this_o put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o dispute_n and_o abigail_n may_v fall_v down_o on_o her_o face_n before_o david_n and_o the_o beggar_n in_o lincolns-inn-field_n may_v beg_v upon_o their_o knee_n as_o the_o reflecter_n argue_v without_o any_o constructive_a idolatry_n but_o so_o can_v a_o papist_n who_o pray_v to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n to_o saint_n peter_n and_o saint_n paul_n now_o they_o be_v in_o a_o invisible_a state_n with_o all_o the_o external_n sign_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n except_v sacrifice_n which_o we_o can_v give_v to_o god_n himself_o and_o as_o for_o his_o instance_n of_o joshua_n fall_v down_o before_o

any_o invisible_a be_v be_v to_o give_v divine_a honour_n to_o it_o then_o to_o be_v sure_a to_o worship_v the_o image_n of_o such_o a_o invisible_a be_v must_v be_v religious_a worship_n also_o for_o if_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o image_n be_v refer_v to_o that_o invisible_a be_v who_o the_o image_n represent_v it_o can_v be_v civil_a but_o religious_a honour_n 4._o the_o last_o complaint_n be_v that_o the_o answerer_n appeal_v from_o their_o council_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o church_n to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o some_o private_a author_n and_o this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o just_a exception_n against_o the_o answer_n if_o it_o be_v true_a but_o i_o challenge_v he_o to_o give_v any_o one_o instance_n of_o it_o wherein_o the_o answerer_n have_v set_v up_o the_o judgement_n of_o private_a author_n against_o the_o declare_a sense_n and_o judgement_n of_o their_o council_n and_o church_n he_o have_v indeed_o quote_v several_a of_o their_o author_n and_o to_o very_o good_a purpose_n as_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o what_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o church_n be_v and_o what_o opinion_n wise_a man_n among_o they_o have_v of_o such_o

historical_a account_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n what_o it_o be_v before_o and_o what_o since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n as_o about_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n p._n 17._o about_o the_o necessity_n of_o confession_n p._n 61._o or_o about_o the_o sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o some_o controvert_v text_n of_o scripture_n or_o to_o state_n the_o notion_n of_o thing_n

meritorious_a yet_o it_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o true_a and_o proper_a merit_n be_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v this_o from_o the_o allow_a and_o receive_v definition_n of_o their_o divine_n thus_o the_o council_n have_v determine_v due_a honour_n and_o worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o image_n but_o have_v not_o determine_v what_o this_o due_a honour_n and_o worship_n be_v and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o way_n to_o know_v it_o but_o by_o appeal_n to_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o divine_n which_o be_v not_o to_o oppose_v the_o sentiment_n of_o private_a author_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n but_o where_o the_o church_n have_v not_o explain_v herself_o to_o learn_v her_o sense_n as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v from_o their_o most_o approve_a divine_n thus_o the_o council_n have_v decree_v the_o use_n of_o indulgence_n but_o have_v not_o define_v in_o what_o case_n and_o to_o what_o purpose_n they_o may_v be_v use_v and_o therefore_o when_o the_o representer_n say_v confident_o that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o relaxation_n of_o canonical_a penance_n the_o authority_n and_o especial_o the_o argument_n of_o greg._n de_fw-fr valent._n and_o bellarmin_n be_v good_a against_o he_o though_o not_o against_o their_o church_n have_v their_o council_n define_v it_o p._n 66._o when_o he_o assert_v that_o indulgence_n be_v not_o sell_v the_o tax_n of_o the_o apostolic_a chamber_n be_v good_a authority_n against_o he_o especial_o if_o those_o who_o sell_v indulgence_n receive_v the_o money_n only_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o alm_n which_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o council_n and_o when_o he_o deny_v that_o indulgence_n do_v concern_v the_o remission_n either_o of_o mortal_a or_o venial_a sin_n the_o answerer_n may_v well_o appeal_v to_o the_o very_a form_n of_o the_o pope_n bull_n which_o not_o only_o grant_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o some_o case_n the_o plenary_a and_o
