my_o opinion_n when_o they_o be_v confute_v and_o appear_v to_o i_o to_o be_v so_o to_o begin_v then_o with_o your_o treatise_n you_o can_v say_v nothing_o for_o tradition_n which_o i_o will_v not_o

between_o scripture_n and_o church_n but_o that_o this_o way_n which_o you_o propound_v shall_v be_v convenient_a to_o know_v what_o be_v tradition_n at_o first_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n agree_v which_o to_o consider_v the_o better_a i_o will_v comprehend_v all_o the_o strength_n of_o what_o you_o have_v say_v in_o a_o little_a room_n and_o shut_v up_o your_o oration_n into_o the_o compass_n of_o some_o 3._o sillogisme_n thus_o you_o argue_v what_o company_n soever_o of_o christian_n alone_o pretend_v to_o teach_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o their_o father_n as_o receive_v from_o they_o as_o so_o come_v down_o from_o the_o apostle_n that_o company_n alone_o must_v hold_v the_o truth_n but_o that_o company_n of_o christian_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n only_o pretend_v this_o therefore_o they_o alone_o hold_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o church_n the_o major_n you_o prove_v thus_o if_o such_o a_o company_n of_o christian_n can_v teach_v falsehood_n than_o since_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o what_o be_v at_o first_o deliver_v be_v true_a some_o age_n must_v either_o have_v err_v in_o understand_v their_o ancestor_n or_o have_v join_v to_o deceive_v their_o posterity_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v beleevable_a therefore_o neither_o be_v it_o beleevable_a that_o such_o a_o company_n of_o christian_n shall_v teach_v falsehood_n the_o minor_a you_o prove_v thus_o i_o mean_v that_o they_o alone_o pretend_v it_o for_o that_o they_o i_o mean_v all_o they_o pretend_v it_o you_o take_v for_o grant_v if_o it_o be_v incompatible_a with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v it_o that_o any_o else_o shall_v do_v it_o than_o she_o do_v it_o alone_o but_o it_o be_v incompatible_a which_o be_v deny_v and_o not_o

any_o thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n or_o any_o other_o unanswered_a in_o the_o first_o part_n and_o three_o i_o will_v reply_v to_o those_o answer_n which_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v to_o

occasion_n to_o have_v dwell_v more_o upon_o my_o reply_n now_o if_o i_o do_v not_o show_v that_o all_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v pretend_v this_o that_o for_o two_o to_o pretend_v it_o be_v not_o incompatible_a as_o have_v be_v so_o heretofore_o that_o those_o who_o alone_o pretend_v this_o may_v pretend_v it_o false_o that_o some_o man_n and_o in_o time_n all_o may_v mistake_v their_o ancestor_n and_o have_v a_o mind_n in_o some_o case_n to_o deceive_v their_o posterity_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o a_o whole_a age_n at_o once_o to_o join_v in_o do_v it_o though_o it_o be_v do_v if_o i_o say_v i_o show_v not_o this_o then_o let_v i_o not_o be_v believe_v and_o if_o you_o can_v show_v i_o that_o i_o have_v not_o show_v it_o i_o will_v promise_v to_o believe_v you_o first_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v pretend_v that_o all_o their_o doctrine_n be_v receive_v by_o they_o from_o their_o father_n as_o come_v down_o from_o the_o apostle_n it_o appear_v because_o when_o question_n have_v rise_v about_o such_o thing_n whereof_o there_o be_v before_o no_o speech_n yet_o if_o a_o council_n have_v determine_v they_o they_o be_v receive_v with_o the_o same_o assent_n as_o if_o they_o have_v come_v from_o the_o apostle_n and_o they_o profess_v now_o the_o same_o readiness_n to_o receive_v always_o any_o such_o definition_n though_o about_o a_o question_n now_o unknown_a and_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o have_v do_v what_o they_o profess_v they_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v at_o least_o they_o show_v that_o you_o be_v not_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o they_o build_v and_o i_o pray_v ask_v yourself_o whether_o those_o that_o teach_v the_o common_a people_n who_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o your_o church_n use_v to_o be_v ask_v about_o it_o by_o they_o or_o use_v to_o tell_v they_o that_o this_o they_o receive_v from_o their_o father_n as_o descend_v from_o the_o apostle_n by_o a_o continual_a verbal_a tradition_n for_o suppose_v they_o tell_v they_o that_o this_o tradition_n tell_v we_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o distinguish_v between_o such_o as_o be_v but_o ecclesiastical_a and_o apostolical_a or_o whether_o this_o be_v know_v to_o they_o only_o by_o deduction_n or_o from_o ancient_a book_n and_o no_o such_o uncontinued_a line_n of_o teach_v and_o not_o rather_o

what_o be_v their_o course_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o most_o ordinary_a among_o the_o ancient_n who_o they_o pretend_v to_o follow_v be_v that_o when_o they_o have_v tell_v the_o people_n that_o such_o a_o proposition_n be_v true_a they_o add_v neither_o be_v it_o i_o that_o say_v so_o

from_o the_o apostle_n than_o they_o must_v always_o have_v be_v esteem_v so_o by_o christian_n whereas_o their_o doctrine_n be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o tradition_n against_o it_o that_o if_o any_o opinion_n whether_o controvert_v or_o uncontroverted_a except_o that_o scripture_n which_o never_o be_v doubt_v may_v without_o blush_a pretend_v to_o have_v that_o for_o it_o it_o must_v be_v
