scripture_n and_o i_o ask_v you_o by_o what_o principle_n that_o child_n believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v divine_a that_o the_o book_n of_o canticle_n for_o example_n where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n speak_v of_o god_n be_v divine_a either_o that_o child_n that_o be_v a_o christian_a who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o faith_n infuse_v by_o baptism_n and_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n doubt_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o do_v not_o doubt_n of_o it_o if_o not_o he_o believe_v it_o then_o divine_a by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v the_o first_o authority_n under_o which_o he_o live_v if_o he_o doubt_v of_o it_o a_o christian_a may_v then_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n m._n claude_n make_v answer_v that_o he_o may_v have_v something_o to_o say_v upon_o m._n the_o condom_n suppose_v that_o every_o child_n baptize_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o that_o he_o will_v not_o insist_v upon_o what_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o by_o nor_o deviate_v from_o the_o principal_a subject_n in_o question_n wherefore_o he_o will_v be_v content_v with_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o what_o m._n de_fw-fr condom_n have_v just_o urge_v the_o first_o say_v he_o shall_v be_v that_o probable_o the_o first_o knowledge_n which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n give_v to_o the_o child_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v by_o his_o creed_n wherein_o he_o say_v credo_fw-la sanctam_fw-la ecclesiam_fw-la catholicam_fw-la never_o theless_o in_o the_o creed_n this_o article_n be_v posteriour_a to_o the_o article_n of_o doctrine_n since_o it_o begin_v with_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_n and_o continue_v with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o which_o come_v the_o catholic_n church_n now_o it_o appear_v clear_o from_o thence_o that_o faith_n of_o the_o doctrine_n do_v not_o depend_v on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o otherwise_o the_o symbol_n must_v have_v be_v compose_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n and_o say_v at_o first_o i_o believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n etc._n etc._n my_o second_o reflection_n say_v he_o be_v that_o you_o can_v suppose_v as_o you_o do_v that_o first_o authority_n under_o which_o the_o child_n begin_v to_o live_v be_v that_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o first_o authority_n under_o which_o a_o child_n live_v be_v that_o of_o his_o father_n or_o that_o of_o his_o mother_n or_o if_o you_o will_v that_o of_o his_o nurse_n and_o how_o that_o of_o the_o church_n can_v only_o come_v afterward_o and_o in_o some_o sort_n by_o dependence_n on_o th●_n other_o now_o from_o thence_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o first_o authority_n which_o be_v the_o paterna_fw-la may_v as_o well_o conduct_v the_o child_n to_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o the_o church_n in_o the_o three_o place_n say_v he_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a then_o to_o retort_v your_o argument_n against_o yourself_o either_o the_o child_n baptise_a doubt_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o do_v not_o doubt_n of_o it_o if_o he_o do_v not_o doubt_n of_o it_o he_o believe_v it_o then_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o he_o can_v by_o any_o other_o way_n believe_v it_o of_o divine_a faith_n and_o by_o consequence_n it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n which_o make_v we_o believe_v scripture_n but_o it_o be_v the_o scripture_n which_o make_v believe_v the_o church_n which_o be_v that_o we_o aim_v at_o if_o he_o doubt_v of_o it_o see_v here_o then_o a_o christian_n who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o faith_n infuse_v by_o baptism_n and_o who_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n who_o can_v doubt_v of_o the_o first_o authority_n on_o which_o depend_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o the_o child_n can_v believe_v of_o divine_a faith_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o that_o of_o the_o scripture_n i_o prove_v it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o believe_v the_o church_n and_o its_o authority_n it_o be_v then_o either_o by_o way_n of_o inspiration_n and_o enthusiasm_n or_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o father_n of_o his_o mother_n or_o of_o his_o nurse_n or_o by_o argument_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o church_n it_o can_v be_v out_o of_o enthusiasm_n for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v not_o act_n in_o that_o manner_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o father_n or_o the_o mother_n or_o nurse_n for_o you_o see_v this_o will_v be_v to_o establish_v those_o sort_n of_o authority_n for_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o faith_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v by_o proof_n and_o argument_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o church_n for_o as_o in_o your_o argument_n you_o suppose_v the_o child_n have_v not_o yet_o
