for_o in_o vain_a be_v authority_n give_v to_o any_o multitude_n of_o man_n if_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v meet_v and_o ordain_v any_o thing_n authoritative_o but_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o invisible_a church_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n mystical_a body_n shall_v meet_v since_o ordinary_o and_o without_o some_o special_a divine_a revelation_n it_o be_v

authority_n in_o determine_v matter_n of_o faith_n as_o out_o of_o baronius_n suarez_n bellarmine_n may_v be_v clear_o show_v now_o here_o we_o further_o say_v that_o the_o visible_a church_n do_v

laity_n and_o so_o we_o deny_v that_o it_o have_v this_o authority_n because_o what_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o clergy_n to_o who_o alone_o all_o spiritual_a authority_n be_v consign_v by_o christ_n can_v be_v transferr_v d_o to_o other_o second_o the_o church_n be_v take_v representative_o for_o the_o sit_v of_o bishop_n in_o council_n and_o synod_n which_o nation_n of_o the_o church_n

signification_n be_v introduce_v by_o ecclesiastical_a use_n and_o custom_n yet_o here_o we_o say_v that_o this_o church_n have_v the_o authority_n not_o only_o of_o a_o teacher_n but_o of_o a_o judge_n first_o this_o church_n do_v authoritative_o teach_v second_o judge_n three_o command_n four_o punish_v those_o who_o disobey_v yet_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o church_n have_v any_o
