four_o for_o all_o the_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o can_v decide_v the_o controversy_n that_o be_v among_o their_o own_o member_n 5_o both_o pope_n and_o general_a council_n have_v contradict_v one_o another_o and_o therefore_o neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v infallible_a 6_o the_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o device_n to_o uphold_v their_o temporal_a grandeur_n and_o dominion_n quest._n 21._o why_o do_v you_o think_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v in_o a_o error_n in_o forbid_v the_o read_n of_o the_o bible_n to_o the_o common_a people_n answ._n 1._o because_o christ_n command_v all_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o read_v the_o scripture_n joh._n 5._o 39_o 2._o the_o berrhaean_o be_v commend_v for_o search_v the_o scripture_n act_v 17._o 11._o 3._o the_o father_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n exhort_v the_o people_n to_o the_o frequent_a read_n of_o the_o scripture_n 4._o st._n paul_n charge_v the_o thessalonian_n to_o take_v care_n that_o his_o epistle_n be_v read_v to_o all_o the_o holy_a brethren_n 1_o thess._n 5._o 27._o 5._o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n every_o family_n be_v to_o have_v the_o law_n in_o their_o house_n and_o to_o teach_v it_o their_o child_n diligent_o deut._n 6._o 7._o 6._o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o obscurity_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n be_v insignificant_a since_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a enough_o in_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n 7._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o forbid_v the_o bible_n to_o the_o laity_n discover_v her_o fear_n and_o the_o weakness_n of_o her_o cause_n lest_o the_o people_n shall_v see_v her_o error_n and_o forsake_v she_o quest._n 22._o why_o do_v not_o you_o believe_v that_o the_o book_n call_v apocrypha_fw-la be_v canonical_a scripture_n answ._n 1._o because_o the_o oracle_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jewish_a church_n rom._n 3._o 2._o and_o these_o be_v not_o 2._o the_o christian_a church_n receive_v from_o the_o jew_n no_o other_o book_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n but_o what_o be_v own_a as_o such_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 3._o the_o apocrypha_fw-la be_v not_o write_v by_o man_n inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o what_o be_v scripture_n must_v be_v by_o inspiration_n 2_o tim._n 3._o 16._o 4._o some_o of_o the_o author_n beg_v the_o reader_n pardon_v for_o their_o mistake_v which_o be_v not_o the_o language_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 5._o the_o ancient_a council_n have_v reject_v these_o apocrypha_fw-la as_o not_o canonical_a particular_o the_o council_n of_o laodicea_n 6._o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n they_o read_v these_o apocrypha_fw-la only_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o man_n manner_n but_o do_v not_o resolve_v their_o faith_n into_o they_o no_o more_o do_v we_o quest._n 23._o why_o do_v you_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o assert_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n once_o a_o member_n of_o her_o communion_n have_v no_o power_n to_o reform_v herself_o answ._n 1._o because_o every_o church_n have_v a_o natural_a right_n to_o shake_v off_o the_o abuse_n and_o corruption_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 2._o it_o be_v god_n command_n to_o private_a man_n not_o to_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v delude_v by_o the_o slight_a of_o man_n and_o cunning_a craftiness_n whereby_o they_o lie_v in_o wait_n to_o deceive_v and_o therefore_o much_o more_o be_v a_o national_a church_n concern_v to_o do_v so_o 3._o in_o vain_a be_v any_o reformation_n hope_v for_o from_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n 4._o it_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o a_o national_a church_n to_o take_v notice_n 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 savoy_n and_o myself_o the_o second_o of_o january_n present_a mr._n stephens_n on_o my_o side_n mrs._n chamberlain_n and_o mr._n chamberlain_n and_o the_o book-binder_n about_o who_o the_o conference_n be_v hold_v he_o have_v be_v six_o year_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o somewhat_o unsatisfied_a and_o mr._n lamb._n about_o seven_o of_o the_o clock_n at_o night_n the_o first_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
