in_o the_o book_n of_o father_n simon_n that_o doctor_n seem_v only_o to_o assert_v that_o common_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a in_o what_o concern_v the_o belief_n and_o manner_n nay_o and_o more_o clear_a than_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o st._n augustine_n say_v more_o in_o the_o word_n cite_v for_o he_o say_v absolute_o that_o all_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v and_o do_v be_v find_v

simon_n touch_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o instruct_v people_n in_o religion_n now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o proof_n which_o he_o make_v use_v of_o for_o the_o establish_n of_o his_o opinion_n the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o great_a change_n which_o have_v happen_v as_o well_o in_o the_o original_a text_n as_o in_o the_o version_n of_o the_o scripture_n this_o proof_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v some_o force_n upon_o a_o atheist_n or_o a_o pagan_a but_o not_o upon_o a_o christian_n who_o know_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o change_n that_o have_v be_v make_v in_o scripture_n jesus_n christ_n the_o apostle_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o church_n have_v always_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o for_o what_o concern_v the_o father_n i_o shall_v show_v it_o ample_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o three_o proof_n of_o father_n simon_n though_o what_o i_o have_v already_o urge_v may_v suffice_v in_o regard_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n father_n simon_n say_v that_o they_o have_v fit_v the_o testimony_n which_o they_o cite_v out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o the_o explication_n receive_v and_o authorize_v by_o tradition_n but_o this_o be_v a_o false_a fore-judging_a of_o that_o father_n of_o who_o with_o reason_n these_o word_n of_o st._n i_o may_v be_v say_v hoc_fw-la de_fw-fr scripture_n authoritatem_fw-la non_fw-la habet_fw-la ideo_fw-la ea_fw-la facilitate_v contemnitur_fw-la qua_fw-la probatur_fw-la this_o have_v no_o authority_n from_o scripture_n therefore_o may_v be_v reject_v with_o the_o same_o ease_n it_o be_v admit_v jesus_n reprehend_v tradition_n and_o yet_o father_n simon_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o he_o establish_v his_o doctrine_n by_o tradition_n and_o that_o he_o only_o make_v use_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o pre-judgment_n of_o tradition_n it_o be_v a_o tradition_n among_o the_o jew_n found_v upon_o a_o passage_n of_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n misunderstand_v that_o elias_n be_v to_o precede_v by_o his_o preach_v the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n but_o the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o tradition_n do_v ill_o interpret_v the_o prophet_n malachy_n who_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o prophet_n elias_n but_o of_o john_n the_o baptist_n who_o be_v to_o forego_v jesus_n christ_n in_o spiritu_fw-la &_o virtute_fw-la eliae_fw-la it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o 5_o chapter_n of_o st._n matth._n that_o the_o jew_n explain_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o pre-judgment_n of_o tradition_n have_v very_o faulty_a moral_n but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o to_o fulfil_v they_o reject_v the_o false_a exposition_n give_v to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o jew_n according_a to_o their_o tradition_n and_o discover_v the_o real_a sense_n thereof_o conformable_o to_o other_o
the_o witness_n transmit_v his_o will_n from_o his_o die_a breath_n into_o deed_n of_o long_a continuance_n and_o if_o any_o contention_n shall_v arise_v among_o the_o brethren_n let_v they_o not_o go_v to_o the_o tomb_n but_o seek_v out_o the_o testament_n in_o short_a even_o as_o the_o gospel_n do_v assure_v we_o that_o those_o who_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o live_v conformable_o to_o their_o doctrine_n will_v not_o be_v convert_v by_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o dead_a though_o they_o shall_v return_v so_o those_o who_o be_v not_o instruct_v and_o persuade_v of_o the_o save_a truth_n by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n will_v never_o be_v persuade_v by_o tradition_n father_n simon_n can_v dispute_v this_o in_o the_o least_o since_o he_o say_v himself_o in_o the_o 10._o chap._n of_o the_o 1._o book_n of_o his_o critical_a hist_n that_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o man_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o tradition_n do_v blend_v therein_o what_o they_o have_v invent_v and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o distinguish_v the_o true_a tradition_n from_o those_o which_o be_v false_a the_o three_o proof_n which_o i_o find_v in_o the_o critical_a hist_n of_o father_n simon_n to_o show_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o decide_v controversy_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v that_o there_o have_v be_v in_o all_o time_n in_o the_o church_n a_o abridgement_n of_o religion_n independant_o of_o scripture_n nay_o he_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o abridgement_n that_o the_o father_n have_v explain_v the_o scripture_n and_o that_o the_o council_n have_v decide_v the_o controversy_n of_o their_o time_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o in_o all_o age_n there_o have_v catechism_n be_v make_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o child_n and_o the_o shallow_a capacity_n or_o abridgement_n of_o religion_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o those_o abridgement_n be_v make_v independant_o of_o scripture_n i_o maintain_v against_o father_n simon_n that_o those_o who_o govern_v the_o church_n take_v care_n to_o collect_v into_o a_o abridgement_n the_o clear_a sentence_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o most_o necessary_a to_o instruct_v the_o faithful_a in_o the_o save_n truth_n and_o the_o father_n and_o council_n have_v reason_n afterward_o to_o decide_v the_o controversy_n according_a to_o those_o abridgement_n since_o their_o take_v that_o course_n be_v to_o explain_v obscure_a passage_n by_o those_o which_o be_v clear_a as_o good_a sense_n do_v require_v all_o the_o passage_n which_o i_o have_v already_o cite_v do_v manifest_o prove_v what_o i_o urge_v nay_o and_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v those_o author_n who_o have_v treat_v of_o ecclesiastical_a office_n the_o lesson_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n still_o read_v at_o this_o day_n on_o easter_n and_o whitson-eve_n be_v only_o the_o catechism_n and_o instruction_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o
