approve_v all_o the_o canonical_a book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o if_o they_o have_v do_v so_o there_o have_v remain_v no_o doubt_n of_o many_o of_o they_o for_o many_o age_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o apostle_n even_o among_o catholic_a good_a man_n as_o we_o have_v note_v before_o but_o many_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n time_n by_o the_o general_a counsel_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n some_o 1_o book_n be_v approve_v whereof_o there_o be_v before_o some_o doubt_n 7._o yea_o more_o than_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n there_o be_v many_o catholic_n who_o do_v not_o receive_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o 16._o apocalypse_n as_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o four_o toletane_v council_n 8._o and_o that_o which_o be_v more_o before_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n the_o be_v many_o catholic_n who_o thought_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o doubt_v of_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o which_o in_o time_n past_a saint_n hierome_n seem_v to_o judge_v as_o doubtful_a as_o be_v the_o epistle_n of_o s._n james_n the_o second_o of_o s._n peter_n the_o second_o and_o three_o of_o s._n john_n the_o epistle_n of_o

none_o will_v as_o yet_o condemn_v they_o as_o heretic_n who_o call_v those_o book_n in_o question_n 9_o by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n receive_v their_o strength_n and_o authority_n not_o from_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n but_o rather_o from_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o church_n succeed_v yea_o even_o of_o this_o present_a church_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n 10._o last_o albeit_o the_o present_a church_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o approve_v scripture_n as_o these_o man_n say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o three_o other_o reason_n the_o authority_n &_o testimony_n of_o this_o present_a church_n be_v necessary_a first_o because_o we_o know_v not_o certain_o what_o book_n the_o primitive_a church_n have_v either_o write_v or_o not_o write_v approve_a or_o reject_v but_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o present_a church_n second_o neither_o do_v we_o know_v whether_o those_o book_n come_v uncorrupted_a unto_o we_o or_o no_o but_o by_o the_o same_o testimony_n three_o because_o we_o can_v otherwise_o know_v which_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o those_o book_n chap._n viii_o the_o argument_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v confute_v the_o first_o argument_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v the_o church_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o word_n also_o of_o god_n it_o be_v engender_v nourish_v and_o govern_v and_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o to_o the_o word_n of_o her_o spouse_n i_o answer_v our_o adversary_n do_v in_o a_o manner_n confound_v the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_a the_o which_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v for_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v believe_v preach_v and_o write_v the_o believe_v word_n be_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o the_o church_n that_o which_o be_v preach_v be_v in_o her_o mouth_n and_o that_o which_o be_v write_v be_v in_o her_o book_n of_o the_o believe_v and_o preach_v word_n the_o apostle_n say_v the_o word_n be_v in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o hart_n this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o preach_v we_o 8._o confess_v that_o in_o the_o believe_v and_o preach_v word_n the_o church_n be_v found_v because_o by_o the_o same_o it_o be_v engender_v nourish_v ●…_n and_o govern_v and_o that_o unto_o this_o word_n it_o be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a as_o unto_o the_o word_n of_o her_o spouse_n for_o indeed_o this_o kind_n of_o word_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o church_n for_o with_o our_o hart_n say_v the_o apostle_n we_o believe_v unto_o justice_n but_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v to_o salvation_n and_o again_o how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n 2._o but_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o write_a word_n be_v far_o different_a for_o this_o be_v neither_o altogether_o necessary_a for_o the_o church_n see_v that_o the_o church_n be_v without_o it_o more_o than_o two_o thousand_o year_n neither_o can_v the_o write_a word_n be_v profitable_a to_o the_o church_n unless_o it_o be_v also_o right_o preach_v and_o believe_v for_o what_o do_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n to_o have_v the_o bible_n unless_o he_o right_o believe_v and_o understand_v it_o 3._o but_o the_o scripture_n whereof_o we_o now_o dispute_v do_v only_o contain_v write_v word_n but_o the_o believe_v and_o preach_v word_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o visibe_n church_n as_o the_o necessary_a and_o essential_a part_n thereof_o see_v the_o one_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o life_n in_o the_o hart_n of_o the_o church_n the_o other_o as_o it_o be_v the_o speech_n in_o her_o mouth_n neither_o can_v they_o ever_o be_v separate_v from_o she_o according_a to_o that_o say_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v put_v in_o thy_o month_n shall_v not_o u●…_n depart_v from_o thy_o mouth_n nor_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o seed_n nor_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o seed_n seed_n from_o hence_o forth_o for_o evermore_o 4._o wherefore_o this_o argument_n do_v prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a for_o see_v that_o the_o write_a word_n receive_v it_o pro●…_n and_o authority_n from_o the_o right_o believe_v and_o preach_v word_n which_o be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o write_a word_n receive_v that_o authority_n and_o ●…ity_n from_o the_o church_n as_o that_o wherein_o only_o the_o word_n right_o preach_v and_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v find_v 5._o the_o second_o argument_n if_o the_o church_n shall_v teach_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o church_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o rece●…ue_v that_o authority_n from_o the_o church_n but_o rather_o the_o church_n from_o the_o scripture_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o if_o the_o scripture_n shall_v contain_v any_o thing_n against_o truth_n we_o shall_v not_o also_o believe_v it_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v utter_v and_o speak_v any_o lie_n we_o shall_v not_o believe_v he_o but_o these_o condition_n be_v indeed_o impossible_a and_o blasphemous_a against_o god_n wherefore_o they_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v admit_v but_o not_o even_o to_o be_v propose_v of_o christian_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o church_n shall_v teach_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n for_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v lie_v because_o he_o shall_v teach_v one_o thing_n by_o the_o church_n and_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o scripture_n 6._o the_o three_o argument_n if_o the_o scripture_n receive_v that_o authority_n from_o the_o church_n than_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v above_o the_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o absurd_a 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v understand_v two_o way_n first_o because_o the_o church_n exceed_v the_o scripture_n in_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n without_o all_o doubt_n the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v make_v for_o the_o church_n and_o 15._o not_o contrariwise_o all_o thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v do_v for_o you_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o church_n and_o not_o for_o the_o scripture_n the_o church_n believe_v hope_v love_v and_o praise_v god_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v none_o of_o these_o the_o church_n shall_v reign_v and_o live_v everlasting_o with_o christ_n in_o heaven_n the_o scripture_n shall_v perish_v after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n last_o the_o church_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o word_n of_o god_n right_o believe_v preach_v and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n itself_o all_o which_o do_v far_o exceed_v the_o write_a word_n in_o excellency_n and_o dignity_n 7._o second_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d she_o may_v change_v the_o scripture_n or_o of_o scripture_n make_v no_o scripture_n or_o last_o she_o may_v teach_v somewhat_o contrary_a to_o scri●…_n or_o depart_v from_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o scripture_n in_o which_o sense_n the_o sectary_n of_o this_o time_n say_v that_o we_o affirm_v the_o church_n to_o be_v above_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v falso_fw-la that_o the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n but_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o catholic_a which_o in_o this_o sense_n will_v
