here_o be_v far_o more_o then_o that_o which_o st._n paul_n require_v so_o sir_n you_o see_v that_o your_o main_a argument_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o be_v so_o far_o

say_v you_o letter_n 18._o pag._n 338._o to_o pretend_v there_o shall_v be_v any_o heretic_n in_o the_o church_n for_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o whether_o the_o five_o proposition_n be_v in_o

this_o argument_n be_v ve●y_o often_o inculcate_v in_o many_o place_n though_o i_o cite_v but_o one_o i_o answer_v that_o understanding_n as_o you_o do_v proposition_n write_v in_o any_o book_n to_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n it_o be_v a_o perfect_a madness_n to_o assert_v that_o none_o can_v be_v declare_v heretic_n for_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o assertion_n be_v so_o evident_o absurd_a and_o heretical_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o for_o first_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o never_o any_o proposition_n in_o any_o book_n can_v be_v declare_v heretical_a for_o still_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v ridiculous_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o heretic_n for_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o still_o it_o will_v be_v matter_n of_o fact_n whether_o the_o proposition_n be_v in_o the_o book_n or_o no_o and_o so_o no_o book_n can_v be_v condemn_v in_o the_o church_n second_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o no_o person_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v condemn_v and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o believe_v that_o ever_o there_o be_v any_o heretic_n in_o the_o church_n that_o can_v be_v name_v except_o those_o that_o be_v mention_v in_o scripture_n though_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 9_o oportet_fw-la haereses_fw-la esse_fw-la and_o so_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v oblige_v to_o avoid_v any_o one_o as_o a_o heretic_n contrary_a to_o what_o i_o allege_v in_o the_o first_o objection_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n for_o still_o it_o will_v be_v make_v matter_n of_o fact_n whether_o arius_n for_o example_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n do_v hold_v this_o or_o that_o for_o that_o arius_n write_v or_o say_v th●s_n or_o that_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n three_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o as_o no_o proposition_n in_o any_o book_n can_v be_v define_v by_o the_o church_n to_o be_v heretical_a so_o on_o the_o contrary_n no_o proposition_n in_o any_o book_n can_v be_v define_v orthodox_n or_o to_o be_v consonant_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v by_o your_o wise_a argument_n come_v to_o doubt_v of_o every_o proposition_n even_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o still_o it_o will_v be_v according_a to_o your_o ridiculous_a maxim_n smatter_v of_o fact_n whether_o that_o proposition_n be_v in_o scripture_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a matter_n of_o fact_n whether_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v whether_o jansenius_n in_o his_o book_n say_v christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o so_o by_o this_o argument_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v oblige_v to_o admit_v any_o proposition_n as_o scripture_n which_o be_v to_o say_v we_o may_v deny_v by_o your_o argument_n all_o scripture_n and_o further_o as_o to_o the_o whole_a bible_n it_o be_v as_o much_o matter_n of_o fact_n whether_o this_o or_o that_o edition_n of_o scripture_n be_v true_a scripture_n as_o whether_o the_o five_o proposition_n be_v in_o jansenius_n yet_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o vulgat_fw-la edition_n shall_v be_v hold_v authentical_a and_o he_o will_v be_v a_o heretic_n that_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o 3._o objection_n pope_n and_o counsel_n 307._o counsel_n letter_n 17._o pag._n 307._o may_v ●rre_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n as_o many_o story_n allege_v in_o the_o seventeen_o and_o eighteen_o letter_n prove_v therefore_o perhaps_o they_o have_v err_v here_o and_o so_o it_o can_v be_v matter_n of_o faith_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o may_v all_o be_v say_v as_o well_o of_o arius_n or_o nestorius_n or_o of_o any_o heretic_n who_o be_v not_o name_v in_o scripture_n as_o of_o jansenius_n his_o book_n yet_o the_o church_n have_v say_v

that_o shall_v dare_v to_o say_v jansenius_n his_o book_n contain_v no_o heresy_n and_o certain_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o church_n have_v always_o be_v

her_o glory_n it_o be_v a_o fable_n that_o there_o be_v a_o momus_n among_o the_o god_n in_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fable_n that_o the_o hero_n of_o this_o world_n be_v never_o without_o

the_o jansenist_n book_n the_o jansenist_n censure_v the_o jesuit_n moral_n and_o the_o church_n censure_v the_o jansenist_n faith_n the_o jansenist_n set_v out_o libel_n against_o the_o jesuit_n
