papist_n show_v we_o if_o they_o can_v where_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o the_o pope_n alone_o or_o any_o confirm_v by_o the_o pope_n or_o that_o society_n of_o christian_n which_o adhere_v to_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n we_o desire_v the_o papist_n if_o they_o can_v to_o let_v we_o see_v any_o of_o those_o assertion_n plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n as_o in_o all_o reason_n a_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n ought_v to_o be_v or_o at_o least_o deliver_v with_o a_o full_a consent_n of_o father_n nay_o let_v they_o so_o much_o as_o show_v we_o where_o it_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n teach_v by_o any_o one_o father_n in_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o our_o bless_a saviour_n christ_n and_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v do_v this_o as_o we_o believe_v they_o can_v where_o i_o pray_v be_v their_o either_o scripture_n or_o reason_n that_o the_o pope_n or_o his_o council_n shall_v obtrude_v themselves_o as_o judge_n over_o we_o protestant_n next_o we_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v from_o the_o papist_n whether_o they_o do_v certain_o know_v or_o not_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o scripture_n by_o which_o they_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o church_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o how_o come_v they_o to_o know_v their_o church_n be_v infallible_a but_o if_o they_o do_v then_o sure_o they_o ought_v to_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o have_v the_o same_o mean_n and_o ability_n to_o know_v other_o plain_a place_n in_o scripture_n which_o they_o have_v to_o know_v they_o for_o if_o all_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a how_o come_v they_o to_o know_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o place_n but_o if_o some_o place_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a why_o pray_v may_v not_o protestant_n understand_v they_o as_o well_o as_o papist_n the_o papist_n say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o themselves_o true_a and_o infallible_a yet_o without_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o church_n we_o have_v no_o certain_a mean_n to_o know_v which_o translation_n be_v faithful_a and_o canonical_a or_o what_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o scripture_n and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a argument_n and_o general_a relief_n of_o all_o papist_n to_o which_o the_o protestant_n answer_n that_o yet_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v first_o be_v know_v before_o we_o can_v know_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a for_o the_o papist_n can_v pretend_v any_o other_o proof_n of_o it_o but_o only_o some_o text_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n true_o interpret_v therefore_o either_o they_o must_v be_v mistake_v in_o think_v there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o know_v these_o thing_n but_o their_o church_n infallible_a direction_n or_o else_o we_o must_v be_v exclude_v from_o all_o mean_n of_o know_v her_o direction_n to_o be_v infallible_a for_o the_o proof_n must_v be_v sure_a than_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v or_o it_o be_v no_o proof_n and_o upon_o better_a consideration_n i_o be_o confident_a the_o papist_n dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a faith_n have_v be_v give_v by_o other_o mean_n than_o the_o church_n for_o sure_a they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o adam_n receive_v faith_n by_o the_o church_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o job_n who_o receive_v faith_n by_o revelation_n and_o also_o the_o holy_a apostle_n who_o receive_v faith_n by_o the_o miracle_n and_o preach_v of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n so_o that_o you_o see_v and_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o their_o general_a doctrine_n be_v contradictory_n and_o to_o make_v it_o yet_o plain_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v of_o the_o papist_n if_o they_o shall_v meet_v with_o a_o man_n that_o believe_v neither_o scripture_n church_n nor_o god_n but_o declare_v he_o be_v both_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o believe_v they_o all_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v show_v he_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o build_v his_o faith_n upon_o will_v the_o papist_n tell_v such_o a_o man_n there_o be_v no_o certain_a ground_n how_o he_o may_v be_v convert_v to_o their_o church_n or_o there_o be_v if_o the_o papist_n say_v there_o be_v none_o they_o make_v religion_n a_o uncertain_a thing_n but_o if_o they_o say_v there_o be_v than_o they_o must_v necessary_o either_o argue_v woman-like_a that_o their_o church_n be_v infallible_a because_o it_o be_v infallible_a or_o else_o show_v there_o be_v other_o certain_a ground_n beside_o say_v the_o church_n be_v infallible_a to_o prove_v its_o infallibility_n the_o papist_n demand_v of_o the_o protestant_n if_o they_o believe_v the_o apostle_n write_v all_o the_o scripture_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o how_o come_v we_o to_o call_v and_o believe_v they_o apostolical_a and_o not_o the_o write_n of_o those_o that_o write_v they_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v though_o all_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o write_v by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o confirm_v by_o they_o and_o though_o a_o clerk_n write_v a_o statute_n and_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o confirm_v it_o in_o parliament_n i_o believe_v they_o will_v esteem_v it_o very_o improper_a to_o call_v it_o the_o statute_n of_o such_o a_o clerk_n though_o write_v by_o he_o but_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n because_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o all_o their_o consent_n and_o so_o become_v their_o act_n not_o the_o clerk_n the_o papist_n desire_v we_o to_o tell_v they_o in_o what_o

hope_v we_o may_v do_v well_o without_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a we_o desire_v first_o that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o become_v of_o their_o church_n for_o one_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o year_n together_o all_o which_o time_n they_o must_v confess_v they_o have_v no_o certainty_n of_o scripture_n till_o the_o time_n that_o pope_n clement_n the_o eight_o set_v forth_o their_o approve_a edition_n of_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n and_o none_o sure_a can_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n of_o copies_n

which_o side_n they_o please_v and_o for_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v allow_v it_o define_v canonical_a before_o st._n gregorie_n time_n though_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v

believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n can_v perish_v yet_o we_o believe_v she_o may_v and_o do_v err_v as_o i_o prove_v just_a before_o but_o thus_o much_o we_o protestant_n declare_v in_o general_a that_o we_o esteem_v it_o sufficient_a for_o any_o man_n salvation_n to_o believe_v god_n word_n the_o scripture_n and_o that_o it_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n and_o

who_o true_o believe_v the_o scripture_n and_o hearty_o endeavour_v to_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o to_o do_v it_o be_v as_o secure_v nay_o secure_a from_o the_o danger_n of_o err_v in_o

no_o more_o of_o any_o man_n to_o his_o salvation_n but_o only_o his_o true_a and_o best_a endeavour_n to_o be_v save_v and_o for_o the_o papist_n sacrament_n of_o confession_n which_o they_o hold_v be_v so_o absolute_a and_o necessary_a and_o so_o much_o upbraid_v we_o for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o we_o answer_v we_o know_v no_o such_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o we_o hold_v we_o must_v not_o only_o confess_v our_o sin_n but_o forsake_v they_o or_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v mercy_n and_o we_o protesant_n far_o believe_v that_o they_o that_o confess_v their_o sin_n shall_v

forsake_v they_o shall_v not_o find_v mercy_n and_o so_o for_o the_o papist_n sacrament_n of_o repentance_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n though_o we_o protestant_n know_v no_o such_o yet_o we_o allow_v and_o observe_v the_o same_o duty_n but_o public_a before_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o rhemanus_fw-la himself_o though_o so_o great_a a_o champion_n for_o the_o papist_n write_v that_o the_o confession_n then_o use_v be_v before_o the_o church_n and_o that_o auricular_a confession_n be_v not_o hen_n in_o the_o world_n the_o papist_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o our_o bishop_n have_v not_o the_o true_a power_n of_o ordination_n but_o that_o have_v be_v so_o clear_o answer_v and_o so_o true_o prove_v at_o large_a by_o so_o many_o already_o as_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v here_o so_o much_o as_o to_o name_v it_o only_o let_v i_o in_o a_o word_n remember_v the_o papist_n that_o they_o can_v well_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o donatist_n themselves_o who_o the_o papist_n esteem_v as_o bad_a as_o we_o as_o be_v heretic_n and_o schismatic_n yet_o st._n austin_n and_o optatus_n bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v both_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v the_o same_o baptism_n creed_n and_o sacrament_n and_o that_o these_o donatist_n father_n though_o schismatic_n and_o heretic_n give_v true_a ordination_n or_o else_o some_o of_o these_o be_v not_o then_o esteem_v sacrament_n therefore_o let_v they_o take_v which_o they_o please_v there_o must_v be_v error_n of_o one_o side_n the_o papist_n pretend_v they_o have_v a_o unanswerable_a objection_n against_o protestant_n which_o be_v that_o we_o have_v discord_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n without_o any_o mean_n of_o agreement_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o let_v we_o want_v solid_a mean_n of_o agreement_n in_o matter_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o for_o our_o agreement_n in_o all_o controversy_n of_o religion_n either_o they_o must_v say_v we_o have_v mean_n to_o agree_v about_o they_o or_o we_o have_v not_o if_o they_o say_v we_o have_v why_o do_v they_o before_o deny_v it_o if_o they_o say_v we_o have_v no_o mean_n why_o be_v they_o so_o unjust_a to_o find_v fault_n with_o we_o for_o not_o agree_v when_o they_o themselves_o say_v we_o have_v no_o mean_n to_o agree_v but_o for_o a_o plaster_n to_o this_o soar_n they_o be_v so_o extraordinary_a civil_a as_o to_o tell_v we_o we_o may_v come_v to_o their_o church_n and_o they_o agree_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o the_o plain_a truth_n of_o it_o be_v that_o they_o define_v all_o matter_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v those_o wherein_o they_o agree_v so_o that_o to_o say_v the_o roman_a church_n do_v agree_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v but_o to_o say_v
