always_o be_v attend_v with_o such_o character_n and_o credential_n of_o truth_n as_o may_v convince_v the_o most_o obstinate_a gainsayer_n of_o it_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a nothing_o less_o than_o

the_o contrary_n may_v be_v true_a i_o be_o sure_a it_o do_v not_o stand_v with_o god_n goodness_n to_o condemn_v any_o body_n to_o eternal_a flame_n for_o not_o believe_v a_o doctrine_n the_o

faith_n without_o clear_a evidence_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o mankind_n be_v teach_v the_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n by_o their_o parent_n or_o pastor_n who_o testimony_n be_v confess_o fallible_a nor_o do_v i_o pretend_v that_o this_o be_v a_o rigorous_a demonstration_n such_o as_o mathematician_n make_v nor_o yet_o a_o evidence_n of_o sense_n but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o so_o many_o nation_n as_o compose_v the_o catholic_a church_n conspire_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o such_o article_n of_o faith_n make_v it_o as_o

in_o a_o word_n the_o apostle_n and_o their_o disciple_n deliver_v the_o christian_a faith_n to_o several_a nation_n and_o convince_v their_o sense_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o by_o

be_v certain_o true_a consequent_o we_o have_v a_o certain_a and_o a_o undoubted_a motive_n to_o rely_v upon_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n now_o it_o be_v manifest_a and_o even_o acknowledge_v by_o our_o adversary_n that_o except_v those_o who_o separate_v themselves_o or_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n by_o excommunication_n for_o their_o obstinate_a adherence_n to_o some_o error_n contrary_a to_o faith_n and_o who_o opposition_n can_v prejudice_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o faith_n as_o i_o prove_v before_o that_o except_v those_o i_o say_v the_o universal_a consent_n of_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n agree_v in_o all_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o catholic_a church_n hold_v and_o believe_v but_o among_o other_o truth_n that_o be_v derive_v to_o we_o by_o this_o universal_a tradition_n or_o common_a consent_n of_o all_o nation_n as_o afore_o explain_v this_o be_v one_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v assist_v the_o church_n and_o do_v guide_v she_o into_o all_o truth_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n hence_o we_o conclude_v 1._o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a in_o all_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o she_o hold_v and_o profess_v for_o since_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v to_o the_o church_n to_o guide_v she_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o that_o this_o holy_a spirit_n be_v omniscient_a and_o omnipotent_a it_o can_v be_v affirm_v without_o impiety_n that_o it_o shall_v permit_v she_o to_o fall_v into_o error_n 2._o that_o general_a council_n be_v infallible_a in_o all_o their_o definition_n and_o decision_n of_o faith_n for_o though_o a_o general_n council_n be_v but_o a_o representative_a of_o the_o whole_a church_n yet_o because_o general_a assembly_n of_o the_o chief_a pastor_n of_o the_o church_n have_v be_v always_o look_v upon_o even_o by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o who_o step_v in_o this_o particular_a the_o church_n do_v follow_v as_o the_o best_a and_o most_o effectual_a mean_n of_o determine_v any_o controversy_n that_o may_v arise_v and_o that_o all_o good_a christian_n have_v always_o hold_v themselves_o bind_v to_o acquiesce_v to_o their_o determination_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o they_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v assist_v and_o guide_v they_o 3._o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a in_o determine_v what_o book_n of_o scripture_n be_v canonical_a and_o what_o book_n be_v not_o and_o in_o declare_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o they_o for_o since_o these_o sacred_a book_n and_o the_o right_a interpretation_n of_o they_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o the_o edification_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o manner_n the_o same_o spirit_n which_o guide_v the_o church_n into_o all_o truth_n do_v no_o doubt_n guide_v she_o in_o these_o great_a and_o important_a truth_n we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o what_o society_n of_o christian_n can_v just_o pretend_v to_o be_v call_v the_o catholic_a church_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o prove_v from_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a but_o whereas_o the_o protestant_n be_v accustom_v to_o carp_v at_o this_o kind_n of_o proof_n pretend_v that_o this_o be_v to_o dance_v in_o a_o circle_n as_o they_o be_v please_v to_o term_v it_o it_o will_v be_v amiss_o to_o examine_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o circle_n and_o when_o it_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v in_o reason_v when_o two_o thing_n bear_v witness_v mutual_o the_o one_o of_o the_o other_o we_o call_v this_o a_o circle_n and_o when_o they_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o support_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o evidence_n but_o their_o mutual_a affirmation_n than_o that_o sort_n of_o proof_n be_v faulty_a but_o when_o both_o or_o either_o have_v such_o evidence_n on_o their_o side_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o establish_v their_o credit_n before_o they_o bear_v witness_v one_o of_o another_o though_o it_o be_v still_o a_o circle_n yet_o it_o be_v good_a and_o vallid_a in_o all_o sort_n of_o proof_n thus_o god_n the_o father_n bear_v witness_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o again_o of_o the_o father_n thus_o jesus_n christ_n bear_v witness_v of_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n likewise_o of_o he_o and_o i_o hope_v no_o body_n will_v be_v so_o impious_a as_o to_o say_v these_o be_v vicious_a or_o faulty_a evidence_n because_o god_n the_o father_n testimony_n be_v know_v to_o be_v true_a though_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o confirm_v it_o and_o jesus_n christ_n his_o work_n prove_v likewise_o his_o own_o testimony_n to_o be_v true_a though_o his_o father_n have_v not_o bear_v he_o witness_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o church_n bear_v witness_v that_o the_o scripture_n
say_v we_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n in_o the_o same_o order_n of_o brotherly_a society_n with_o which_o we_o entreat_v our_o brethren_n upon_o earth_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o but_o that_o this_o say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o true_a representation_n of_o their_o doctrine_n will_v appear_v by_o these_o consideration_n 1._o that_o they_o pray_v continue_v he_o to_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n with_o the_o same_o solemn_a circumstance_n of_o religious_a worship_n that_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n himself_o 2._o that_o in_o their_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n they_o join_v the_o angel_n and_o the_o b._n virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n together_o with_o god_n and_o christ_n 3._o that_o in_o the_o creed_n of_o pope_n pius_n 4._o it_o be_v express_o say_v the_o saint_n which_o reign_n with_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o invocate_v 4._o that_o in_o the_o public_a office_n of_o their_o church_n they_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o but_o they_o direct_v their_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n immediate_o to_o they_o for_o all_o those_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n which_o they_o ask_v of_o god_n and_o thank_v he_o for_o of_o which_o innumerable_a example_n add_v he_o may_v be_v give_v out_o of_o their_o public_a office_n particular_o in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n they_o pray_v to_o the_o angel_n thus_o deliver_v we_o we_o beseech_v you_o by_o your_o command_n from_o all_o our_o sin_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o there_o never_o be_v a_o book_n more_o universal_o commend_v and_o approve_v in_o the_o latin_a church_n than_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n exposition_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n the_o pope_n high_o commend_v and_o approve_v it_o as_o appear_v by_o

commend_v it_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o letter_n of_o many_o of_o they_o to_o the_o say_a bishop_n and_o his_o friend_n all_o which_o be_v likewise_o annex_v to_o the_o say_a book_n it_o have_v be_v

that_o to_o say_v this_o exposition_n be_v not_o a_o true_a representation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o r._n catholic_a church_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v as_o unreasonable_a in_o itself_o as_o it_o be_v injurious_a to_o that_o great_a and_o learned_a prelate_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n which_o have_v so_o universal_o approve_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o his_o first_o consideration_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o we_o address_v no_o prayer_n to_o saint_n or_o angel_n in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o church_n but_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v direct_v to_o god_n only_o and_o as_o to_o our_o posture_n in_o the_o church_n or_o at_o our_o private_a devotion_n whether_o kneel_v or_o stand_v or_o bow_v we_o declare_v our_o intention_n be_v
