be_v but_o perhaps_o and_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v without_o all_o perhaps_o that_o he_o can_v for_o a_o man_n can_v loose_v that_o he_o never_o have_v pope_n as_o pope_n never_o have_v true_a faith_n for_o antichrist_n can_v possible_o have_v it_o than_o it_o be_v without_o perhaps_o he_o can_v loose_v it_o but_o this_o but_o by_o the_o way_n but_o the_o latter_a say_v he_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n derive_v to_o they_o be_v it_o indeed_o and_o why_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o reason_n can_v you_o give_v that_o these_o word_n shall_v convey_v two_o grant_v and_o privilege_n to_o peter_n and_o but_o one_o to_o his_o successor_n doubtless_o none_o be_v give_v by_o he_o neither_o can_v be_v give_v but_o yet_o he_o will_v prove_v it_o by_o what_o as_o impudent_a &_o shameless_a as_o he_o be_v to_o wrest_v scripture_n to_o his_o purpose_n yet_o can_v he_o find_v none_o with_o any_o colour_n to_o offer_v this_o violence_n unto_o but_o do_v not_o the_o father_n so_o affirm_v though_o his_o use_n be_v to_o make_v father_n speak_v what_o he_o will_v have_v they_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v sorce_v by_o he_o here_o how_o then_o do_v he_o prove_v it_o only_o by_o certain_a sentence_n of_o seven_o pope_n and_o some_o sue_v late_a writer_n but_o be_v it_o equal_a that_o party_n shall_v be_v witness_n or_o judge_n or_o be_v we_o now_o without_o scripture_n or_o antiquity_n to_o take_v any_o thing_n for_o truth_n which_o a_o few_o pope_n or_o some_o new_a writer_n shall_v affirm_v at_o least_o must_v we_o take_v they_o in_o so_o main_a a_o matter_n as_o this_o be_v i_o take_v it_o none_o can_v just_o reproove_v we_o if_o we_o reject_v they_o especial_o when_o we_o have_v so_o good_a reason_n out_o of_o the_o text_n that_o it_o can_v carry_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o that_o i_o prove_v thus_o because_o that_o by_o faith_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v a_o historical_a faith_n or_o the_o say_v of_o doctrine_n but_o a_o justify_n faith_n or_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o heart_n not_o a_o general_a faith_n but_o a_o particular_a not_o that_o by_o which_o we_o belecue_v god_n but_o in_o god_n which_o fail_v not_o by_o error_n so_o it_o be_v not_o sundamentall_a for_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v condemn_v all_o whosoever_o have_v live_v but_o when_o a_o man_n do_v fall_v whole_o from_o grace_n and_o ccase_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o appear_v first_o from_o those_o word_n that_o thy_o faith_n shall_v not_o sail_v not_o vanish_v away_o or_o be_v extinct_a as_o chris_n say_v which_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o any_o other_o say_v but_o of_o that_o by_o which_o we_o stand_v and_o be_v save_v for_o the_o other_o faith_n may_v fail_v not_o once_o but_o often_o and_o a_o man_n be_v save_v notwithstanding_o 2._o from_o those_o word_n when_o thou_o be_v convert_v strengthen_v thy_o brethren_n that_o be_v after_o thou_o have_v repent_v and_o be_v convert_v strengthen_v thy_o brethren_n &_o sustain_v their_o faith_n namely_o their_o save_a faith_n of_o which_o they_o confess_v some_o of_o they_o may_v be_v destitute_a 3._o out_o of_o the_o drist_n and_o scope_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n for_o his_o drift_n be_v to_o arm_n and_o protect_v peter_n against_o that_o try_v all_o and_o temptation_n that_o he_o then_o foretell_v he_o of_o not_o against_o error_n in_o teach_v the_o church_n but_o against_o apostasy_n in_o time_n of_o trial_n therefore_o faith_n thcophilact_n he_o show_v he_o the_o particular_a temptation_n for_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o arm_v there_o where_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hurt_v where_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n nor_o put_v a_o helmet_n on_o the_o head_n where_o the_o heart_n and_o breast_n be_v to_o be_v smite_v and_o thus_o much_o bellarmine_n confess_v when_o he_o make_v peter_n fall_n to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n to_o cast_v utter_o off_o his_o former_a profession_n and_o not_o of_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v perseverance_n in_o the_o habit_n of_o justify_v faith_n not_o infallibility_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o historical_a faith_n that_o christ_n pray_v for_o which_o so_o differ_v that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o one_o that_o be_v justify_v faith_n and_o yet_o hold_v a_o crrour_n not_o fundamental_a to_o the_o death_n as_o bellarmine_n contend_v for_o the_o father_n diverse_a of_o they_o and_o the_o other_o that_o be_v a_o right_a belief_n of_o the_o general_a point_n of_o religion_n and_o yet_o not_o have_v justify_v faith_n nor_o save_v and_o sanctisi_v grace_n as_o bellarmine_n confess_v the_o pope_n can_v err_v and_o yet_o profess_v he_o may_v want_v save_v grace_n 4._o pron_z the_o 31._o verse_n where_o christ_n affirm_v that_o he_o prave_v for_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o peter_n see_v satan_n oppose_v they_o and_o seek_v to_o winnow_v they_o as_o well_o as_o peter_n now_o for_o these_o christ_n questionless_a pray_v unless_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o one_o be_v not_o as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o another_o not_o john_n the_o belove_a as_o peter_n nay_o he_o love_v all_o with_o a_o very_a great_a love_n and_o so_o pray_v for_o they_o 5._o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o thing_n he_o pray_v for_o here_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o proper_a to_o peter_n but_o common_a to_o all_o the_o apostle_n yea_o all_o the_o elect_n and_o if_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n be_v common_a to_o all_o and_o the_o same_o person_n make_v the_o same_o prayer_n in_o effect_n for_o all_o as_o he_o do_v john_n 17.9_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o
