than_o the_o scripture_n till_o he_o interpret_v for_o we_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v so_o that_o all_o return_n to_o this_o still_o that_o we_o have_v her_o honest_a word_n for_o her_o authority_n and_o

for_o all_o agree_v like_o one_o man_n in_o every_o article_n and_o therefore_o sure_a in_o this_o most_o fundamental_a one_o but_o what_o now_o shall_v i_o think_v after_o this_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o fall_v out_o that_o hardly_o one_o in_o a_o hundred_o of_o these_o member_n know_v either_o where_o this_o church_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v find_v or_o what_o those_o determination_n of_o

this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o be_o now_o for_o a_o close_a to_o inquire_v into_o it_o must_v needs_o seem_v more_o than_o a_o little_a absurd_a and_o exceed_v hard_a to_o tie_v a_o man_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o believe_v he_o know_v not_o what_o and_o what_o no_o body_n can_v certain_o show_v he_o i_o mean_v a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o all_o man_n deny_v but_o

here_o to_o ask_v he_o what_o great_a diversity_n he_o can_v find_v among_o the_o member_n of_o our_o church_n than_o he_o here_o grant_v to_o be_v among_o papist_n nor_o why_o our_o division_n be_v

against_o we_o than_o they_o be_v but_o i_o ask_v whether_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v a_o article_n of_o the_o roman_a faith_n or_o no_o and_o again_o whether_o all_o the_o member_n of_o that_o church_n be_v as_o one_o man_n unanimous_o agree_v about_o it_o or_o no_o he_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v about_o the_o article_n they_o be_v as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o though_o not_o as_o to_o all_o circumstance_n but_o now_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o these_o circumstance_n of_o the_o power_n about_o which_o they_o differ_v be_v such_o as_o the_o thing_n itself_o will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o nothing_o without_o they_o or_o if_o they_o be_v not_o as_o certain_o know_v and_o believe_v as_o the_o power_n itself_o i_o think_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o their_o agreement_n about_o the_o thing_n be_v as_o good_a as_o nothing_o too_o till_o these_o circumstance_n be_v also_o agree_v upon_o thus_o it_o be_v then_o i_o must_v for_o my_o salvation_n believe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o supreme_a power_n over_o all_o church_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o in_o this_o all_o papist_n as_o one_o man_n unanimous_o agree_v but_o about_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o power_n there_o be_v a_o great_a diversity_n of_o opinion_n among_o they_o yet_o be_v this_o no_o injury_n to_o their_o religion_n though_o without_o a_o better_a agreement_n about_o these_o circumstance_n no_o man_n in_o my_o opinion_n can_v be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v i_o what_o their_o religion_n be_v for_o these_o circumstance_n about_o which_o they_o differ_v be_v no_o more_o but_o such_o inconsiderable_a thing_n as_o these_o whence_o this_o power_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n of_o divine_a or_o human_a right_n only_o whether_o it_o extend_v over_o all_o the_o world_n or_o over_o all_o christian_n only_o to_o spiritual_a concern_v only_o or_o to_o temporal_n also_o where_o it_o

virtual_a or_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n these_o petty_a circumstance_n they_o differ_v about_o and_o the_o church_n itself_o know_v not_o how_o to_o agree_v they_o but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o article_n itself_o most_o firm_o believe_v by_o all_o that_o be_v a_o supreme_a power_n in_o the_o church_n all_o their_o religion_n rest_v on_o the_o determination_n of_o their_o church_n all_o the_o force_n of_o these_o determination_n to_o oblige_v the_o faith_n of_o man_n depend_v on_o this_o supreme_a power_n may_v not_o a_o man_n however_o well_o enough_o be_v assure_v of_o his_o

own_o part_n i_o must_v needs_o think_v it_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o believe_v this_o power_n and_o to_o have_v any_o certainty_n of_o the_o religion_n found_v on_o this_o power_n without_o some_o better_a information_n about_o these_o circumstance_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o before_o i_o can_v yield_v to_o be_v of_o that_o religion_n i_o must_v beseech_v that_o church_n which_o will_v

equal_o assure_v that_o as_o well_o what_o be_v unwritten_a as_o what_o be_v write_v be_v preach_v by_o they_o as_o necessary_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n i_o must_v needs_o also_o own_o

i_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o seem_v enough_o to_o i_o that_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o signify_v to_o the_o world_n his_o will_n in_o writing_n which_o i_o can_v imagine_v why_o he_o

to_o discern_v by_o experience_n the_o unfaithfulness_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n so_o that_o this_o and_o some_o other_o consideration_n whereupon_o the_o papist_n use_v to_o ground_v their_o

all_o possible_a diligence_n to_o find_v out_o what_o truth_n there_o may_v be_v in_o this_o assertion_n and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o i_o shall_v thereby_o discern_v the_o necessity_n of_o
