of_o which_o they_o can_v rid_v themselves_o for_o first_o they_o can_v tell_v nor_o intelligible_o declare_v which_o be_v that_o church_n which_o they_o believe_v can_v err_v second_o it_o be_v

the_o church_n can_v err_v i_o evince_v these_o two_o as_o to_o the_o first_o member_n i_o thus_o query_n with_o a_o papist_n when_o you_o say_v the_o church_n or_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v err_v what_o do_v you_o mean_v by_o the_o church_n do_v you_o mean_v all_o christian_n in_o general_a who_o take_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o saviour_n and_o submit_v to_o all_o his_o holy_a command_n so_o that_o not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o of_o they_o can_v err_v doubtless_o he_o will_v deny_v it_o for_o every_o one_o of_o they_o consider_v single_o apart_o yea_o and_o all_o conjunct_o together_o may_v err_v for_o all_o be_v member_n of_o one_o body_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o visible_a head_n from_o who_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v spiritual_a life_n sense_n and_o holy_a affection_n grant_v it_o be_v so_o what_o then_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o cardinal_n archbishop_n presbyter_n and_o doctor_n be_v the_o church_n he_o will_v deny_v it_o again_o since_o all_o and_o every_o one_o single_o may_v err_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o we_o have_v show_v already_o do_v you_o therefore_o by_o the_o church_n understand_v a_o general_a council_n consist_v of_o all_o the_o cardinal_n bishop_n and_o doctor_n as_o represent_v the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o christian_n who_o head_n this_o council_n be_v he_o will_v affirm_v it_o but_o grant_v this_o although_o it_o be_v ground_v on_o no_o reason_n i_o will_v ask_v further_o do_v you_o believe_v then_o that_o this_o council_n as_o it_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n can_v err_v howsoever_o assemble_v and_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v decree_v therein_o in_o no_o wise_a he_o will_v say_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v lawful_o convocate_v by_o who_o say_v i_o he_o will_v say_v by_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n grant_v this_o though_o it_o be_v void_a of_o reason_n and_o without_o ground_n yea_o and_o they_o determine_v or_o judge_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o first_o general_n council_n be_v this_o council_n so_o convocate_v that_o church_n which_o can_v err_v in_o its_o decree_n and_o determination_n or_o be_v there_o that_o head_n of_o the_o church_n to_o which_o no_o error_n be_v incident_a here_o he_o will_v stick_v or_o demur_v somewhat_o for_o i_o will_v go_v on_o to_o query_n thus_o put_v the_o case_n that_o this_o council_n decree_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o consent_n yea_o contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n whether_o for_o no_o can_v it_o err_v therein_o here_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v whole_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o it_o be_v know_v that_o not_o only_o diverse_a ancient_a council_n both_o particular_a and_o general_n have_v past_a decree_n against_o his_o mind_n and_o which_o do_v diminish_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n dignity_n as_o appear_v by_o many_o council_n in_o africa_n and_o also_o in_o the_o four_o general_n council_n of_o chalcedon_n and_o many_o other_o but_o further_a also_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o general_n council_n of_o constance_n hold_v in_o the_o year_n 1414._o and_o call_v by_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n john_n the_o 23._o or_o as_o other_o the_o 24._o at_o which_o be_v present_a more_o than_o a_o thousand_o father_n depute_v or_o appoint_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o among_o these_o above_o three_o hundred_o bishop_n decree_v with_o unaminous_a consent_n that_o the_o council_n be_v above_o the_o pope_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o council_n to_o expunge_v pope_n out_o of_o the_o register_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o degrade_v they_o even_o as_o by_o the_o same_o council_n be_v degrade_v three_o pope_n who_o then_o exercise_v the_o office_n of_o the_o popedom_n and_o among_o these_o even_a pope_n john_n himself_o who_o have_v call_v this_o council_n and_o that_o for_o four_o and_o fifty_o or_o according_a to_o other_o seventie_o one_o nefarious_a crime_n among_o which_o be_v these_o two_o first_o that_o he_o have_v open_o deny_v the_o immortality_n of_o soul_n suppose_v that_o man_n die_v like_o beast_n to_o which_o he_o also_o add_v this_o second_o that_o he_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o paradise_n nor_o hell_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o 11_o session_n here_o the_o papist_n must_v say_v one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o that_o such_o a_o general_a council_n be_v the_o church_n that_o can_v err_v no_o not_o even_o then_o when_o it_o determine_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o pope_n and_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o highness_n as_o be_v do_v in_o this_o council_n or_o that_o such_o a_o council_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n and_o therefore_o be_v capable_a of_o error_n if_o he_o say_v the_o former_a he_o will_v find_v himself_o entangle_v in_o a_o gordian_a knot_n and_o beside_o he_o will_v oppose_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o popish_a doctor_n especial_o the_o jesuit_n who_o not_o only_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v above_o a_o council_n but_o also_o determine_v that_o that_o council_n of_o constance_n be_v in_o this_o respect_n to_o be_v blame_v wherein_o they_o decree_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v inferior_a to_o a_o council_n as_o be_v clear_a out_o of_o cardinal_n bellarmin_n and_o other_o yea_o further_o he_o will_v be_v force_v express_o to_o confess_v that_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n who_o have_v suceee_v to_o peter_n right_a and_o power_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a or_o supreme_a head_n of_o all_o church_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n may_v err_v in_o faith_n and_o swerve_v from_o the_o truth_n if_o he_o say_v the_o latter_a he_o fall_v into_o a_o new_a labyrinth_n for_o than_o he_o do_v not_o only_o contradict_v council_n but_o also_o many_o and_o diverse_a both_o church_n and_o popish_a doctor_n and_o namely_o the_o most_o ancient_a school_n of_o the_o sorbon_n in_o france_n which_o by_o some_o be_v call_v the_o first_o daughter_n of_o the_o church_n which_o with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o french_a church_n defend_v and_o approve_v of_o that_o decree_n of_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n howbeit_o suppose_v that_o he_o find_v no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o matter_n yet_o there_o he_o will_v stick_v that_o even_o then_o he_o know_v not_o and_o can_v tell_v or_o show_v that_o church_n which_o affirm_v that_o it_o can_v err_v for_o if_o a_o general_n council_n be_v not_o the_o church_n or_o if_o it_o may_v err_v and_o do_v err_v when_o it_o determine_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o pope_n or_o without_o his_o approbation_n i_o pray_v what_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o church_n not_o liable_a to_o error_n haply_o he_o will_v say_v the_o council_n be_v the_o church_n when_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o pope_n and_o be_v confirm_v by_o he_o here_o again_o be_v a_o new_a labyrinth_n for_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o and_o it_o very_o often_o have_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o council_n may_v not_o vote_n with_o the_o pope_n imagine_v therefore_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o council_n do_v judge_n and_o decree_v something_o that_o the_o pope_n disallow_v of_o or_o that_o the_o pope_n agree_v with_o the_o lesser_a part_n which_o part_n in_o this_o case_n make_v the_o church_n not_o the_o great_a for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o pope_n do_v then_o the_o least_o part_n make_v the_o church_n what_o reason_n what_o show_v of_o truth_n what_o only_o because_o the_o pope_n favour_v it_o then_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o church_n for_o if_o these_o few_o make_v the_o church_n because_o the_o pope_n be_v on_o their_o side_n then_o if_o they_o be_v only_o two_o who_o shall_v judge_v against_o a_o thousand_o other_o those_o two_o with_o the_o pope_n will_v make_v the_o church_n and_o what_o speak_v i_o of_o two_o although_o there_o be_v only_o one_o yea_o none_o yet_o the_o matter_n will_v come_v to_o the_o same_o issue_n the_o pope_n alone_o at_o length_n will_v be_v the_o forecastle_n and_o poop_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o can_v err_v although_o he_o be_v even_o the_o very_a knave_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o further_o not_o only_o a_o heretic_n but_o also_o a_o atheist_n who_o deny_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n heaven_n and_o hell_n as_o pope_n john_n the_o 23_o of_o who_o we_o have_v late_o speak_v of_o do_v for_o which_o cause_n he_o be_v degrade_v by_o the_o
