daily_o so_o many_o disputation_n and_o controversye_n of_o matter_n of_o faith_n none_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o must_v necessary_o be_v some_o judge_n appoint_v who_o must_v define_v end_n and_o determine_v such_o controversye_n for_o otherwise_o there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o end_n of_o such_o matter_n but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a difficulty_n who_o must_v be_v this_o judge_n the_o sectary_n of_o this_o time_n almost_o all_o refuse_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n for_o they_o see_v very_o well_o that_o if_o they_o admit_v she_o as_o judge_v all_o their_o error_n will_v be_v quit_v overthrown_a wherefore_o some_o of_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o sole_a scripture_n must_v be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o doctrine_n of_o our_o adversary_n to_o wit_n luther_n &_o zuinglius_fw-la 2._o but_o our_o late_a adversary_n when_o they_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v a_o absurd_a thing_n ●…_n to_o make_v the_o scripture_n be_v a_o thing_n without_o life_n the_o judge_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o they_o fly_v unto_o their_o private_a spirit_n the_o which_o they_o will_v have_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n but_o lest_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o attribute_v too_o much_o unto_o themselves_o they_o endeavour_v to_o colour_v their_o private_a spirit_n with_o the_o famous_a title_n or_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n affirm_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n of_o all_o controversye_n 3._o wherefore_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n here_o to_o be_v prove_v first_o that_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v judge_n second_o that_o neither_o the_o private_a spirit_n can_v be_v it_o three_o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v the_o only_a and_o most_o true_a judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n 4._o as_o concern_v the_o first_o whereas_o our_o adversary_n every_o where_o teach_v that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v which_o be_v not_o express_o to_o be_v find_v in_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o they_o will_v persuade_v man_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n whereas_o we_o read_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o any_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n 5._o yea_o even_o in_o these_o testimony_n be_v only_o attribute_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o judgement_n search_v the_o scripture_n say_v christ_n ●…_n and_o the_o same_o be_v they_o that_o give_v testimony_n of_o i_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v often_o call_v in_o scripture_n in_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n eda_n or_o eduth_n or_o teuda_n that_o be_v to_o say_v 1●…_n a_o testimony_n yea_o even_o in_o one_o psalm_n it_o be_v call_v above_o twenty_o time_n by_o that_o name_n 6._o moreover_o in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n in_o the_o same_o place_n false_o cite_v by_o our_o adversary_n that_o they_o may_v prove_v thereby_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n it_o be_v call_v a_o witness_n or_o a_o testimony_n and_o not_o a_o judge_n nay_o rather_o to_o the_o 20._o law_n say_v the_o prophet_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n 7._o furthermore_o nothing_o be_v more_o absurd_a then_o in_o matter_n of_o such_o moment_n to_o appoint_v such_o a_o deaf_a and_o dumb_a judge_n and_o who_o may_v also_o be_v corrupt_v for_o both_o party_n and_o who_o sentence_n either_o party_n use_v indifferent_o but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v such_o a_o judge_n for_o it_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o hear_v and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n do_v all_o heretic_n ancient_a and_o modern_a also_o use_v the_o scripture_n last_o almost_o all_o our_o adversary_n do_v see_v how_o absurd_a these_o thing_n be_v and_o therefore_o they_o fly_v unto_o their_o own_o private_a spirit_n the_o which_o they_o call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n wherfore-let_a we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o point_n 8._o as_o concern_v therefore_o this_o private_a spirit_n first_o there_o be_v none_o who_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o chief_a judge_n of_o all_o controversye_n but_o the_o question_n be_v where_o this_o holy_a spirit_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o in_o who_o it_o remain_v 9_o moreover_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o remain_v or_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o book_n lest_o peradventure_o our_o adversary_n shall_v send_v we_o to_o their_o bibles_n but_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o believer_n now_o we_o ask_v whether_o this_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o be_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o every_o believer_n or_o rather_o in_o the_o hart_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n if_o they_o say_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n we_o have_v our_o desire_n if_o they_o say_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o every_o private_a man_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o no_o private_a person_n can_v err_v in_o his_o own_o judgement_n see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v err_v in_o his_o judgement_n here_o true_o we_o seek_v for_o that_o judge_n which_o can_v err_v 10._o furthermore_o every_o private_a man_n shall_v be_v come_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n if_o every_o such_o private_a person_n have_v this_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n whereupon_o there_o will_v ensue_v a_o great_a confusion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n 11._o beside_o that_o if_o every_o believer_n be_v the_o judge_n they_o our_o adversary_n must_v needs_o admit_v the_o

with_o his_o church_n not_o only_o one_o or_o two_o day_n or_o one_o year_n but_o even_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n vit_fw-mi he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o remain_v and_o stay_v with_o we_o not_o for_o one_o on_o two_o year_n only_o but_o everlasting_o it_o be_v needful_a therefore_o that_o he_o perform_v and_o stand_v to_o his_o promise_n 28._o the_o second_o argument_n if_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v say_v of_o the_o church_n as_o judge_n be_v true_a it_o will_v also_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n be_v judge_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o general_n can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o doubt_v of_o by_o any_o which_o profess_v christ._n for_o the_o divine_a faith_n can_v be_v without_o some_o word_n of_o god_n but_o where_o there_o be_v no_o controversy_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o judge_n but_o if_o of_o any_o one_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v write_v or_o not_o write_v there_o arise_v any_o controversy_n as_o for_o 16._o example_n of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o write_a word_n without_o doubt_n we_o must_v recurre_v unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o belong_v unto_o she_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o of_o the_o exposition_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o write_a word_n as_o also_o of_o any_o doubtful_a letter_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o see_v that_o in_o time_n past_a there_o have_v be_v many_o controversye_n of_o diverse_a book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o of_o the_o particular_a chapter_n and_o part_n thereof_o as_o also_o of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o other_o write_a point_n of_o say_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o other_o judge_n but_o the_o catholic_a church_n have_v end_v or_o define_v all_o these_o controversye_n 29._o but_o in_o this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o that_o the_o church_n do_v not_o judge_v of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n out_o of_o her_o own_o proper_a sense_n and_o judgement_n 13._o or_o at_o she_o own_o pleasure_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o her_o adversary_n and_o namely_o calvin_n do_v wrongful_o slander_v she_o but_o by_o one_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o know_v she_o judge_v of_o that_o which_o be_v less_o know_v ●…nd_v manifest_a unto_o we_o as_o for_o example_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v by_o tradition_n she_o judge_v of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o true_a sense_n thereof_o 30._o the_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o when_o the_o church_n do_v 28._o judge_v of_o these_o thing_n they_o be_v not_o man_n only_o which_o judge_n as_o our_o adversary_n pretend_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o himself_o who_o judge_v and_o speak_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o church_n it_o seem_v good_a say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o us._n for_o even_o as_o the_o action_n of_o a_o man_n body_n be_v not_o so_o proper_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n as_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o quicken_v and_o move_v the_o body_n so_o the_o action_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v attribute_v unto_o man_n who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n as_o unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n which_o give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n they_o therefore_o who_o deny_v this_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o only_o injurious_a to_o the_o church_n but_o also_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n hitherto_o of_o the_o property_n office_n and_o power_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ._n it_o remain_v now_o we_o show_v such_o a_o 〈◊〉_d church_n as_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
