what_o error_n creep_v into_o their_o church_n and_o oppose_v they_o 5._o and_o that_o they_o have_v right_a to_o do_v so_o appear_v from_o the_o example_n the_o church_n of_o judah_n have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o jehoshaphat_n or_o hezekiah_n or_o josiah_n 6._o in_o throw_v off_o the_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n we_o do_v not_o throw_v off_o obedience_n to_o a_o lawful_a sovereign_n but_o subjection_n to_o a_o usurper_n 7._o we_o do_v no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o orthodox_n church_n do_v after_o the_o arian_n council_n of_o ariminum_n and_o seleucia_n in_o set_v up_o the_o nicene_n faith_n again_o which_o those_o powerful_a council_n have_v banish_v 8._o we_o make_v no_o new_a religion_n but_o restore_v the_o old_a and_o build_v no_o new_a house_n but_o only_o sweep_v out_o of_o the_o old_a the_o rubbish_n which_o make_v it_o unwholesome_a and_o uninhabitable_a the_o end_n a_o account_n of_o the_o conference_n betwixt_o a_o jesuit_n of_o the_o

thing_n discourse_v be_v about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o calvinist_n which_o the_o jesuit_n say_v make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o there_o be_v several_a expression_n which_o if_o a_o favourable_a construction_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v otherwise_o next_o he_o fall_v upon_o luther_n who_o shall_v say_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v damn_v if_o he_o will_v but_o for_o his_o infidelity_n i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n condemn_v no_o man_n that_o profess_v himself_o a_o christian_n but_o for_o his_o infidelity_n the_o jesuit_n ask_v whether_o if_o a_o man_n commit_v theft_n he_o may_v be_v call_v a_o infidel_n i_o say_v he_o act_v like_o a_o infidel_n and_o in_o that_o act_n be_v so_o because_o he_o act_v contrary_a to_o his_o belief_n mr._n chamberlain_n put_v in_o something_o about_o that_o place_n 1_o tim._n 2._o about_o one_o mediator_n the_o jesuit_n argue_v he_o wonder_v we_o shall_v talk_v of_o one_o mediator_n when_o every_o man_n that_o pray_v for_o the_o other_o be_v a_o mediator_n i_o tell_v he_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n he_o may_v be_v call_v so_o but_o in_o the_o controversy_n before_o we_o be_v mean_v mediator_n which_o be_v religious_o worship_v here_o happen_v a_o great_a ramble_a discourse_n about_o faith_n as_o distinguish_v from_o all_o good_a work_n but_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o by_o faith_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o bare_a assent_n to_o the_o doctrine_n but_o a_o practical_a belief_n as_o it_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n and_o live_v according_a to_o it_o the_o book-binder_n be_v go_v to_o call_v mrs._n chamberlain_n and_o come_v again_o by_o this_o time_n the_o jesuit_n say_v they_o be_v come_v to_o satisfy_v person_n under_o some_o doubt_n and_o therefore_o must_v fall_v upon_o some_o more_o material_a point_n and_o since_o we_o protestant_n send_v people_n to_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o shall_v begin_v to_o talk_v of_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o we_o know_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o from_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v our_o bible_n i_o tell_v he_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o the_o catholic_n church_n who_o testimony_n be_v very_o considerable_a in_o this_o case_n he_o ask_v hereupon_o when_o we_o go_v off_o from_o the_o church_n from_o what_o church_n we_o do_v immediate_o receive_v it_o i_o answer_v he_o both_o from_o the_o western_a or_o roman_n and_o from_o the_o church_n of_o the_o east_n however_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o will_v fair_o grant_v he_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o immediate_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o it_o here_o he_o ask_v how_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o true_a bible_n from_o a_o corrupt_a church_n i_o ask_v he_o whether_o i_o may_v not_o receive_v a_o pearl_n from_o a_o chimney_n sweeper_n he_o say_v we_o look_v upon_o they_o for_o rogue_n and_o rascal_n whereupon_o i_o tell_v he_o we_o give_v they_o no_o such_o language_n however_o since_o he_o use_v these_o name_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v not_o receive_v a_o 100_o l._n in_o very_o good_a money_n from_o rogue_n and_o rascal_n he_o then_o argue_v that_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o a_o corrupt_a church_n and_o how_o can_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o have_v the_o true_a bible_n since_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o a_o corrupt_a church_n have_v not_o corrupt_v it_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o they_o confess_v themselves_o they_o have_v not_o corrupt_v it_o and_o beside_o they_o can_v not_o corrupt_v it_o for_o the_o cheat_n
