not_o trust_v their_o own_o judgement_n or_o superstitious_a and_o think_v they_o merit_v much_o by_o their_o blind_a obedience_n unto_o their_o teacher_n but_o how_o plausible_a soever_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v too_o broad_a to_o be_v the_o narrow_a way_n that_o lead_v unto_o life_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n will_v never_o be_v attain_v unless_o it_o suffer_v more_o violence_n than_o so_o i_o add_v further_o it_o be_v too_o presumptuous_a to_o tie_v divine_a providence_n unto_o humane_a policy_n and_o for_o man_n first_o to_o devise_v what_o in_o his_o wisdom_n seem_v fit_a and_o then_o to_o resolve_v that_o therefore_o god_n have_v order_v it_o so_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o course_n your_o side_n ordinary_o hold_v you_o love_v rather_o to_o give_v law_n unto_o god_n then_o to_o take_v law_n from_o he_o and_o in_o this_o particular_a to_o prescribe_v what_o mean_v god_n shall_v appoint_v to_o settle_v we_o in_o the_o

upon_o they_o to_o direct_v god_n wh●●_n what_o he_o shall_v do_v or_o else_o forsooth_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v provident_a and_o discreet_a enough_o and_o then_o thrust_v their_o own_o fancy_n upon_o you_o as_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n have_v do_v it_o but_o to_o answer_v this_o yet_o a_o little_a more_o full_o i_o affirm_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o holy_a scripture_n know_v not_o second_o that_o the_o ancient_a father_n acknowledge_v not_o three_o that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v the_o scripture_n there_o need_v not_o any_o such_o stand_a humane_a judge_n in_o the_o church_n as_o you_o dream_v of_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o if_o you_o know_v any_o passage_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o god_n have_v authorize_v such_o a_o judge_n as_o you_o dream_v of_o i_o require_v you_o to_o show_v it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v none_o express_v scripture_n i_o be_o sure_a you_o can_v show_v deduction_n and_o consequence_n by_o your_o own_o rule_n i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o admit_v for_o example_n if_o for_o proof_n hereof_o you_o urge_v that_o of_o our_o saviour_n to_o s._n peter_n i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o 22.32_o luc._n 22.32_o i_o will_v demand_v who_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n for_o i_o hear_v that_o christ_n have_v pray_v for_o saint_n peter_n but_o i_o hear_v not_o that_o he_o have_v pray_v for_o the_o pope_n that_o his_o faith_n fail_v not_o and_o i_o know_v saint_n peter_n be_v firm_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o faith_n unto_o his_o life_n end_n but_o it_o seem_v by_o ecclesiastical_a history_n that_o sundry_a pope_n have_v make_v shipwreck_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o become_v heretic_n if_o there_o be_v no_o judge_n to_o determine_v this_o doubt_n why_o do_v you_o thrust_v such_o a_o judge_n upon_o we_o if_o there_o be_v who_o be_v he_o you_o will_v say_v the_o pope_n then_o thus_o you_o reason_n christ_n pray_v for_o s._n peter_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v by_o s._n peter_n the_o pope_n also_o be_v understand_v and_o this_o appear_v because_o the_o pope_n say_v so_o therefore_o neither_o can_v the_o pope_n faith_n fail_v and_o consequent_o he_o be_v the_o ordinary_a infallible_a judge_n of_o the_o church_n more_o brief_o thus_o the_o pope_n be_v that_o judge_n because_o the_o pope_n will_v have_v it_o so_o nominate_v what_o other_o judge_n soever_o you_o listen_v and_o what_o other_o text_n beside_o you_o please_v and_o the_o argument_n be_v still_o the_o same_o too_o weak_a to_o persuade_v what_o you_o intend_v unless_o by_o some_o new_a privilege_n out_o of_o any_o premise_n you_o may_v conclude_v what_o you_o will_n in_o a_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n throughout_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o ministry_n

the_o security_n of_o faith_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n depend_v but_o this_o deep_a silence_n of_o they_o and_o that_o in_o so_o due_a a_o place_n and_o of_o matter_n so_o important_a

a_o judge_n i_o hope_v i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o infer_v that_o the_o church_n need_v he_o not_o which_o be_v the_o three_o point_n for_o i_o trow_v this_o be_v both_o a_o safe_a and_o sound_a kind_n
