that_o apolonius_n speak_v truth_n he_o will_v answer_v that_o then_o when_o he_o speak_v according_a to_o scripture_n well_o but_o i_o will_v ask_v again_o whether_o he_o speak_v always_o according_a to_o scripture_n if_o he_o say_v i_o than_o he_o be_v pope_n and_o infallible_a if_o he_o say_v not_o then_o i_o ask_v again_o when_o do_v he_o speak_v according_a to_o scripture_n he_o will_v

assist_v he_o that_o he_o may_v not_o deviate_v from_o the_o truth_n but_o here_o a_o double_a question_n will_v arise_v first_o how_o it_o be_v know_v that_o he_o always_o preach_v and_o pray_v well_o for_o he_o that_o read_v these_o his_o patch_a piece_n will_v find_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o prayer_n and_o pain_n be_v intend_v to_o overthrow_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o to_o procure_v to_o himself_o rule_v and_o command_v in_o the_o church_n but_o i_o will_v yield_v that_o good_a apolonius_n do_v all_o thing_n well_o i_o will_v ask_v then_o again_o if_o he_o though_o he_o pray_v and_o labour_n well_o do_v always_o preach_v truth_n if_o he_o do_v than_o he_o be_v infallible_a as_o the_o pope_n if_o he_o do_v not_o i_o will_v ask_v again_o how_o may_v we_o certain_o know_v that_o apolonius_n whilst_o he_o labour_v and_o pray_v have_v the_o infallible_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n god_n no_o where_o in_o scripture_n promise_v this_o to_o apolonius_n and_o our_o modern_a lawgiver_n this_o indeed_o be_v true_a in_o the_o divinely-inspired_n apostles_n and_o prophet_n but_o that_o this_o be_v true_a in_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o lie_n of_o apolonius_n and_o all_o his_o jesuit_n and_o if_o this_o walachrian_a pompion_n shall_v presume_v to_o brag_v so_o much_o of_o himself_o his_o own_o book_n will_v refute_v he_o in_o write_v of_o which_o though_o he_o labour_v most_o spiritual_o yet_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o have_v in_o it_o utter_v many_o blasphemous_a and_o notorious_a lie_n here_o then_o have_v catch_v he_o i_o will_v hold_v he_o fast_o and_o will_v convince_v he_o of_o fraud_n in_o say_v that_o christ_n command_n be_v obey_v when_o he_o be_v obey_v command_v as_o he_o say_v in_o christ_n name_n except_o he_o will_v fall_v into_o this_o absurdity_n in_o say_v that_o he_o who_o hear_v apolonius_n lie_v hear_v christ_n in_o apolonius_n command_v which_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v think_v be_v blasphemy_n hence_o than_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o apolonius_n be_v a_o deceiver_n who_o will_v persuade_v the_o credulous_a that_o his_o own_o and_o his_o walachrian_a ecclesiastic_a dictate_v and_o command_v be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o dictate_v and_o command_v of_o christ_n whereas_o christian_n can_v be_v certain_o induce_v to_o believe_v this_o upon_o any_o sure_a ground_n yea_o it_o be_v certain_a both_o by_o these_o walachrian_a say_n &_o writing_n that_o christ_n speak_v not_o in_o they_o for_o he_o be_v always_o true_a and_o these_o be_v full_a of_o lie_n and_o blasphemy_n but_o rather_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n who_o be_v a_o liar_n but_o here_o be_v one_o hole_n through_o which_o he_o may_v escape_v he_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o he_o submit_v his_o preach_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o consistory_n and_o because_o what_o apolonius_n there_o determine_v be_v approve_v by_o so_o many_o prophet_n it_o be_v very_o just_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n and_o so_o the_o people_n must_v believe_v apolonius_n prophesy_v but_o here_o again_o i_o ask_v whether_o all_o be_v truth_n that_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o consistory_n of_o middleburgh_n if_o he_o affirm_v it_o than_o this_o consistory_n be_v infallible_a as_o the_o pope_n if_o he_o deny_v it_o i_o will_v ask_v how_o he_o know_v that_o the_o consistory_n do_v not_o err_v he_o will_v answer_v that_o he_o know_v it_o by_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o whole_a walachrian_a class_n for_o thus_o have_v he_o proceed_v in_o canonise_a his_o patch_a book_n but_o i_o ask_v again_o whether_o that_o be_v infallible_a what_o the_o walachrian_a classis_fw-la approve_v if_o he_o affirm_v it_o their_o this_o classis_fw-la be_v infallible_a as_o the_o pope_n but_o i_o do_v

this_o than_o i_o ask_v again_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o the_o walachrian_a classis_fw-la do_v not_o err_v he_o will_v say_v i_o suppose_v if_o all_o the_o other_o class_n of_o zealand_n that_o be_v the_o synod_n shall_v approve_v it_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o if_o whatsoever_o the_o synod_n of_o zealand_n shall_v determine_v be_v infallible_a i_o believe_v the_o synod_n of_o holland_n and_o of_o the_o other_o province_n will_v deny_v this_o nor_o will_v they_o acknowledge_v the_o papal_a infallibility_n of_o the_o synod_n of_o zealand_n from_o hence_o perhaps_o he_o will_v ascend_v to_o the_o synod_n of_o all_o the_o province_n then_o to_o the_o nationall_n after_o to_o the_o general_n and_o last_o of_o all_o he_o will_v mount_v up_o in_o infinitum_fw-la so_o that_o the_o

he_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o man_n authority_n and_o correction_n but_o be_v to_o be_v leave_v to_o christ_n judgement_n alone_o which_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o walachrian_o every_o where_o breathe_v this_o antichristian_a spirit_n who_o though_o conscious_a of_o fallibility_n and_o error_n yet_o be_v still_o cry_v out_o that_o obedience_n must_v be_v yield_v
