no_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n shall_v be_v add_v to_o the_o old_a apostolical_a creed_n yet_o the_o late_a pretend_a general_a council_n of_o trent_n add_v no_o less_o than_o twelve_o new_a

number_n to_o make_v it_o weight_n as_o they_o think_v and_o pretend_v to_o do_v by_o which_o that_o council_n do_v in_o effect_n declare_v themselves_o to_o be_v more_o know_v in_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o true_a faith_n than_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n and_o the_o very_a holy_a inspire_v apostles_n themselves_o and_o this_o that_o council_n say_v but_o with_o great_a impudence_n and_o falseness_n be_v the_o true_a old_a catholic_n and_o apostolic_a faith_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v for_o it_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o pius_n the_o four_o creed_n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o princely_a doctrine_n fit_a for_o such_o a_o princely_a pope_n of_o who_o i_o must_v beg_v leave_n or_o else_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o take_v it_o to_o let_v slip_v a_o lease_n of_o pope_n and_o four_o general_a council_n against_o his_o twelve_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n the_o first_o pope_n shall_v be_v pius_n the_o second_o against_o pius_n the_o four_o for_o this_o pius_n the_o second_o confess_v that_o before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o nicene_n council_n little_a regard_n be_v have_v of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o be_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n to_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o and_o all_o pope_n since_o that_o she_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o the_o church_n for_o sure_a all_o the_o church_n do_v know_v the_o duty_n they_o owe_v their_o mother_n so_o well_o as_o not_o to_o have_v neglect_v the_o pay_v it_o if_o they_o have_v believe_v it_o true_o due_a to_o she_o but_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o not_o pay_v they_o

believe_v my_o confidence_n be_v ground_v upon_o this_o good_a reason_n that_o have_v pope_n gregory_n live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o and_o have_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o add_v twelve_o new_a article_n to_o the_o old_a apostolical_a creed_n he_o will_v have_v say_v the_o very_a same_o of_o he_o as_o he_o do_v of_o john_n the_o patriarch_n of_o constantinople_n when_o he_o be_v tell_v he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o title_n of_o universal_a patriarch_n or_o bishop_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v usurp_v to_o himself_o that_o title_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o anti_n christ_n and_o for_o his_o part_n he_o pretend_v to_o no_o other_o title_n than_o that_o of_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n though_o he_o be_v not_o only_o then_o bishop_n of_o but_o resident_n in_o rome_n but_o pope_n boniface_n who_o soon_o after_o succeed_v he_o in_o the_o papacy_n though_o he_o have_v a_o less_o humble_a christian_a mind_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o much_o high_a papal_a spirit_n for_o he_o present_o change_v that_o note_n and_o swallow_v greedy_o that_o sweet_a tempt_a bit_n of_o universal_a bishop_n choose_v rather_o the_o great_a power_n of_o be_v the_o head_n and_o master_n of_o all_o the_o bishop_n on_o earth_n than_o the_o humble_a character_n of_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n by_o which_o he_o show_v the_o pride_n of_o a_o bad_a pope_n but_o not_o at_o all_o the_o humility_n of_o a_o good_a christian_a by_o esteem_v the_o office_n of_o a_o pope_n more_o perfect_a freedom_n than_o that_o of_o god_n service_n but_o this_o title_n of_o universal_a bishop_n be_v attend_v with_o such_o great_a dignity_n and_o accompany_v with_o such_o a_o large_a revenue_n that_o all_o pope_n boniface_n successor_n will_v never_o since_o abandon_v that_o proud_a usurpation_n for_o though_o the_o do_v it_o may_v be_v a_o sin_n yet_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o pope_n for_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o forgive_v other_o man_n sin_n may_v easy_o absolve_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o and_o indeed_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v as_o full_a power_n to_o pardon_v his_o own_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o any_o other_o but_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o point_n i_o be_v about_o this_o pope_n gregory_n concur_v in_o his_o opinion_n with_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n that_o no_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v but_o what_o be_v profess_v by_o they_o and_o in_o his_o give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o faith_n as_o the_o custom_n be_v for_o every_o pope_n upon_o the_o advancement_n to_o his_o papal_a dignity_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n in_o so_o high_a a_o style_n as_o he_o profess_v to_o receive_v and_o reverence_v they_o as_o the_o four_o book_n of_o the_o holy_a gospel_n how_o vast_o differ_v be_v the_o faith_n of_o this_o pope_n gregory_n from_o that_o of_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o and_o the_o now_o roman_a church_n who_o though_o we_o protestant_n embrace_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n yet_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o the_o performance_n of_o these_o with_o a_o strict_a virtuous_a life_n can_v afford_v we_o so_o much_o as_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o which_o unchristian_a and_o uncharitable_a doctrine_n of_o they_o i_o shall_v only_o answer_v that_o the_o papist_n by_o this_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o forget_v that_o charity_n be_v a_o essential_a mark_n of_o true_a christianity_n and_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o particular_a christian_n be_v as_o true_a of_o whole_a church_n that_o though_o they_o have_v all_o faith_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v no_o charity_n they_o be_v nothing_o the_o three_o pope_n i_o shall_v here_o produce_v be_v pelagius_n who_o be_v elect_v to_o the_o papacy_n be_v demand_v if_o he_o hold_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n which_o contain_v that_o of_o nice_n constantinople_n and_o the_o ephesine_n creed_n to_o which_o he_o make_v answer_v in_o a_o letter_n which_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n that_o he_o receive_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o first_o four_o general_n council_n concern_v the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o then_o begin_v to_o rehearse_v his_o creed_n as_o the_o fashion_n be_v upon_o be_v make_v pope_n he_o repeat_v the_o apostle_n creed_n this_o be_v my_o faith_n say_v he_o and_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n mercy_n of_o what_o st._n peter_n command_v we_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o answer_v every_o one_o who_o ask_v we_o a_o reason_n and_o a_o account_n of_o it_o of_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o trentonian_a father_n with_o their_o twelve_o new_a additional_a article_n can_v give_v no_o good_a account_n out_o of_o scripture_n because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n mention_v of_o they_o in_o it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o st._n austin_n since_o the_o just_a live_v by_o faith_n the_o great_a care_n must_v be_v take_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o corrupt_v and_o then_o add_v now_o the_o catholic_n faith_n be_v make_v know_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o plain_o argue_v that_o since_o the_o trent_n article_n be_v in_o no_o part_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n or_o in_o god_n word_n they_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o pope_n for_o a_o memorandum_n the_o example_n of_o their_o brother_n pope_n honorius_n who_o be_v condemn_v by_o two_o council_n as_o a_o heretic_n and_o also_o anathematise_v by_o pope_n leo_n the_o second_o and_o pray_v why_o be_v this_o great_a scandal_n and_o heavy_a punishment_n lay_v upon_o his_o holiness_n the_o reason_n pope_n leo_n tell_v we_o be_v because_o he_o consent_v to_o violate_v the_o rule_n of_o apostolical_a tradition_n mean_v as_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o sure_o if_o declare_v a_o defect_n in_o this_o creed_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o it_o then_o certain_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o pope_n pius_n the_o four_o and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v defile_v the_o
