a_o treatise_n of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n common_o call_v tradition_n write_a in_o latin_a by_o the_o r._n father_n james_n gordon_n huntley_n of_o scotland_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n of_o the_o society_n of_o jesus_n and_o translate_v into_o english_a by_o i._n l._n of_o the_o same_o society_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o first_o controversy_n permissu_fw-la superiorum_fw-la m._n dc_o fourteen_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n have_v already_o in_o the_o precedent_a treatise_n speak_v of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n thereunto_o belong_v now_o it_o remain_v we_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n common_o call_v tradition_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o state_n of_o this_o controversy_n may_v more_o easy_o be_v understand_v i_o will_v here_o set_v down_o four_o thing_n diligent_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n we_o treat_v of_o the_o first_o be_v that_o by_o the_o unwritten_a word_n we_o only_o understand_v that_o which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n for_o of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v our_o whole_a controversy_n in_o this_o place_n wherefore_o that_o objection_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v both_o frivolous_a and_o nothing_o worth_a to_o wit_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o we_o call_v the_o unwriten_a word_n may_v be_v find_v extant_a either_o among_o the_o holy_a father_n or_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o counsel_n or_o other_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n but_o this_o nothing_o belong_v unto_o this_o purpose_n for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o that_o this_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o write_v in_o any_o book_n either_o of_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o way_n the_o one_o way_n be_v implicit_a that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o some_o general_a principle_n from_o whence_o this_o other_o may_v be_v certain_o deduce_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n be_v contain_v in_o holy_a writ_n and_o not_o only_o in_o scripture_n but_o also_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n yea_o even_o in_o that_o one_o article_n i_o believe_v the_o catholic_a church_n so_o that_o it_o be_v diligent_o examine_v and_o well_o understand_v as_o s._n augustine_n 40._o very_o well_o note_v for_o so_o say_v christ_n the_o whole_a law_n and_o prophet_n do_v depend_v upon_o two_o precept_n of_o charity_n as_o in_o the_o same_o place_n s._n augustine_n note_v for_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o church_n in_o all_o thing_n &_o that_o it_o can_v neither_o deceive_v we_o nor_o be_v deceive_v as_o we_o will_v evident_o prove_v in_o the_o next_o controversy_n in_o the_o 〈◊〉_d chapter_n it_o consequent_o also_o teach_v the_o whole_a and_o entire_a word_n of_o god_n see_v that_o all_o that_o which_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v contain_v express_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n the_o which_o the_o scripture_n commend_v unto_o we_o as_o infallible_a as_o s._n augustine_n very_o well_o say_v and_o declare_v 16._o in_o many_o place_n for_o even_o as_o god_n the_o father_n comprehend_v in_o these_o few_o word_n this_o be_v my_o wellbeloved_a son_n hear_v he_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n so_o christ_n propose_v unto_o we_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n 3._o and_o in_o this_o sense_n do_v the_o holy_a father_n oftentimes_o say_v that_o all_o the_o point_n of_o faith_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o wit_n in_o that_o general_a principle_n in_o the_o which_o they_o admonish_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o church_n but_o many_o of_o the_o holy_a father_n saying_n be_v falsify_v &_o corrupt_v by_o martinꝰ_n kennitius_n and_o some_o caluinist_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o judocus_n ruesten_n in_o his_o first_o tome_n defend_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n against_o kemnitius_n 4._o second_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v contain_v in_o express_a word_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o christ_n be_v bear_v suffer_v and_o rise_v again_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o deny_v that_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o objection_n of_o our_o adversary_n by_o this_o may_v easy_o be_v answer_v when_o they_o say_v that_o we_o affirm_v that_o tradition_n be_v the_o unwriten_a word_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o we_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v they_o by_o scripture_n for_o we_o do_v not_o prove_v every_o particular_a tradition_n by_o express_a word_n of_o scripture_n but_o we_o only_o deduce_v and_o gather_v they_o out_o of_o it_o and_o convince_v in_o general_a that_o there_o be_v tradition_n 5._o the_o three_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o our_o adversary_n be_v convince_v by_o truth_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o many_o thing_n be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o apostle_n beside_o those_o which_o be_v write_v but_o say_v they_o those_o be_v only_o external_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n serve_v only_o for_o the_o ornament_n or_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n but_o nothing_o concern_v doctrine_n of_o faith_n be_v deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n which_o they_o have_v not_o set_v down_o in_o writing_n so_o calvin_n and_o 158●…_n some_o other_o which_o follow_v his_o opinion_n wherefore_o it_o remain_v for_o we_o to_o prove_v that_o not_o only_o external_a ceremony_n but_o also_o those_o which_o belong_v unto_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o they_o be_v never_o express_o set_v down_o in_o writing_n 6._o the_o four_o thing_n be_v that_o see_v our_o adversary_n can_v deny_v that_o which_o be_v object_v unto_o they_o by_o catholic_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n make_v express_v mention_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v deliver_v and_o diwlge_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o we_o have_v already_o declare_v even_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o be_v wont_n to_o answer_v that_o long_o since_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n this_o word_n of_o god_n be_v deliver_v preach_v and_o not_o write_v but_o the_o apostle_n afterward_o set_v down_o in_o write_v all_o the_o preach_v word_n of_o god_n or_o at_o the_o least_o as_o much_o thereof_o as_o be_v necessary_a unto_o salvation_n the_o which_o solution_n albeit_o it_o be_v very_o weak_a and_o frivolous_a see_v that_o it_o rely_v upon_o no_o sure_a ground_n yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o may_v more_o full_o be_v confute_v we_o will_v declare_v hereafter_o that_o many_o of_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o express_o set_v down_o in_o write_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o state_n of_o this_o question_n chap._n ii_o out_o of_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a principle_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v clear_o convince_v that_o there_o be_v tradition_n the_o first_o argument_n whereby_o we_o prove_v tradition_n be_v take_v out_o of_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a principle_n of_o faith_n for_o there_o be_v three_o chief_a and_o most_o necessary_a point_n of_o faith_n yea_o the_o thief_n ground_n of_o our_o whole_a faith_n which_o be_v not_o to_o he_o find_v express_o in_o scripture_n 2._o the_o first_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o catalogue_n or_o canon_n of_o the_o sacred_a book_n aswell_o of_o the_o old_a as_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o which_o all_o christian_n with_o a_o assure_a faith_n shall_v embrace_v as_o a_o most_o certain_a and_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n of_o faith_n yea_o of_o it_o depend_v the_o authority_n of_o all_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n because_o by_o this_o canon_n the_o sacred_a and_o true_a book_n of_o scripture_n be_v discern_v and_o make_v know_v from_o all_o those_o which_o be_v apochriphall_a especial_o because_o aswell_o in_o time_n pass_v as_o in_o these_o our_o day_n there_o have_v be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a controversye_n about_o the_o canonical_a and_o apochriphall_a book_n of_o scripture_n and_o such_o a_o canon_n be_v altogether_o necessary_a aswell_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n before_o christ_n as_o in_o our_o present_a church_n after_o christ_n time_n the_o which_o also_o our_o adversary_n themselves_o have_v learn_v by_o experience_n for_o they_o have_v also_o place_v their_o new_a canon_n of_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n in_o their_o confession_n make_v at_o 3._o rochel_n and_o in_o the_o late_a end_n of_o some_o of_o their_o bibles_n and_o yet_o neither_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n nor_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

new_a law_n be_v this_o canon_n ever_o write_v down_o in_o the_o bibles_n themselves_o 2._o i_o know_v our_o adversary_n that_o they_o may_v escape_v this_o argument_n do_v run_v to_o the_o inward_a instinct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereby_o say_v they_o we_o know_v what_o book_n be_v canonical_a and_o what_o be_v not_o but_o this_o answer_n be_v refute_v &_o reject_v before_o where_o we_o have_v show_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o move_v we_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n with_o the_o catholic_a faith_n which_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o 5._o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n move_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o some_o book_n be_v canonical_a and_o some_o be_v not_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o ask_v therefore_o of_o they_o whether_o this_o be_v the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n or_o the_o unwritten_a if_o it_o be_v the_o write_a word_n in_o what_o book_n or_o chapter_n be_v it_o to_o be_v find_v if_o it_o be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v our_o adversary_n must_v needs_o confess_v that_o by_o the_o instinct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o also_o believe_v the_o unwritten_a word_n of_o god_n or_o tradition_n 3._o the_o second_o principle_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o we_o must_v necessary_o with_o a_o assure_a and_o firm_a faith_n believe_v that_o all_o those_o book_n either_o of_o the_o old_a or_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o we_o now_o retain_v be_v safe_o deliver_v unto_o we_o entire_a and_o uncorrupted_a through_o so_o many_o hand_n so_o many_o age_n so_o many_o vexation_n and_o persecution_n of_o the_o christian_n for_o otherwise_o the_o whole_a credit_n and_o authority_n of_o those_o book_n will_v decay_v and_o perish_v but_o this_o be_v no_o where_o extant_a or_o write_v for_o neither_o the_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n have_v ever_o write_v that_o their_o book_n shall_v never_o be_v falsify_v or_o corrupt_v by_o any_o yea_o it_o appear_v sufficient_o 13_o by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o they_o be_v falsify_v and_o corrupt_v in_o many_o book_n by_o the_o jew_n and_o heretic_n let_v our_o adversary_n therefore_o tell_v we_o where_o it_o be_v write_v that_o this_o holy_a scripture_n which_o we_o have_v now_o be_v not_o corrupt_v or_o falsify_v 4._o the_o three_o principle_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o letter_n for_o the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n consist_v rather_o in_o the_o true_a sense_n or_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n then_o in_o the_o word_n themselves_o as_o we_o have_v declare_v before_o 3._o but_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o what_o sense_n or_o meaning_n the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v either_o proper_o or_o figurative_o can_v be_v have_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n alone_o but_o also_o from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n whereby_o it_o also_o follow_v that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o least_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n the_o bare_a letter_n only_o but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v and_o deliver_v keep_v and_o profess_v unto_o we_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o true_a &_o native_a sense_n of_o the_o same_o 5._o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o s._n basil_n tradi●…_n say_v that_o those_o who_o reject_v the_o unwriten_a point_n of_o faith_n as_o undiscreet_a person_n do_v wrong_a and_o damnify_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o gospel_n yea_o they_o even_a as_o it_o be_v contract_n or_o bring_v the_o whole_a preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o bare_a name_n thereof_o 6._o many_o of_o our_o adversary_n who_o deal_v more_o sincere_o with_o we_o convince_v by_o these_o argument_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o these_o ground_n or_o principle_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v only_o to_o be_v have_v by_o tradition_n without_o any_o write_a word_n of_o god_n as_o joannes_n brentius_n and_o martin_n kemnitius_n who_o add_v also_o that_o those_o tradition_n which_o do_v not_o repugn_v to_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v and_o receive_v of_o all_o and_o those_o only_o be_v to_o be_v reject_v which_o be_v opposite_a unto_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 7._o but_o whatsoever_o our_o adversary_n do_v answer_v it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a that_o they_o confess_v these_o three_o principle_n of_o our_o faith_n do_v belong_v indeed_o to_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n itself_o they_o must_v also_o needs_o confess_v these_o be_v not_o extant_a in_o plain_n and_o express_v term_n in_o any_o book_n either_o of_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n out_o of_o which_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o whole_a &_o entire_a word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o contain_v express_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n chap._n iii_o wherein_o it_o be_v prove_v out_o of_o other_o particular_a point_n of_o faith_n that_o there_o be_v tradition_n the_o second_o argument_n whereby_o we_o prove_v apostolical_a tradition_n be_v take_v out_o of_o other_o particular_a point_n of_o faith_n the_o which_o almost_o all_o our_o adversary_n believe_v with_o we_o albeit_o they_o be_v no_o where_o express_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v many_o point_n of_o faith_n of_o this_o sort_n whereof_o for_o example_n sake_n we_o will_v allege_v some_o few_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v use_v our_o accustom_a brevity_n we_o will_v rehearse_v only_o those_o which_o do_v also_o manifest_o show_v out_o of_o this_o opinion_n of_o our_o adversary_n that_o nothing_o appertain_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o express_o contain_v in_o holy_a scripture_n there_o be_v many_o grievous_a error_n and_o heresy_n in_o this_o our_o age_n arisen_a 2._o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o in_o god_n there_o be_v three_o person_n real_o distinct_a among_o themselves_o and_o one_o only_a substance_n for_o this_o be_v no_o where_o extant_a in_o holy_a scripture_n yea_o in_o it_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v find_v express_o write_v either_o of_o the_o substance_n or_o of_o the_o person_n in_o that_o signifycation_n wherein_o these_o word_n be_v use_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n 3._o this_o indeed_o the_o caluinist_n to_o their_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n have_v sufficient_o learn_v by_o experience_n forty_o year_n ago_o in_o transiluania_n for_o when_o one_o john_n huniades_n who_o they_o call_v john_n the_o second_o king_n of_o hungary_n be_v then_o governor_n in_o transiluania_n a_o coutry_n or_o province_n of_o hungary_n have_v ordain_v a_o public_a dispuration_n betwixt_o the_o cal●…inists_n and_o the_o antitrinitarian_n that_o be_v to_o say_v those_o who_o oppugn_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a doctrine_n on_o both_o syd_n they_o shall_v dispute_v only_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o caluinist_n can_v never_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n alone_o that_o there_o be_v either_o a_o substance_n or_o person_n in_o god_n neither_o can_v they_o by_o the_o scripture_n only_o declare_v what_o be_v a_o person_n or_o what_o be_v a_o substance_n 4._o wherefore_o at_o the_o last_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o disputation_n that_o almost_o all_o those_o which_o be_v present_a judge_v that_o the_o antitrinitarian_n get_v the_o victory_n and_o that_o the_o caluinist_n be_v shameful_o overcome_v whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o say_a prince_n of_o transiluania_n of_o a_o caluinist_n become_v a_o antitrinitarian_n yea_o one_o of_o their_o chief_a friend_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o take_v some_o public_a church_n from_o the_o caluinist_n and_o give_v they_o to_o the_o antitrinitarian_n and_o he_o continue_v miserable_o in_o that_o wicked_a heresy_n even_o till_o death_n which_o happen_v in_o the_o year_n 1571._o the_o 14._o of_o march_n 5._o all_o which_o thing_n be_v abundant_o declare_v by_o one_o joannes_n sommerus_fw-la pirnensis_fw-la in_o the_o funeral_n oration_n which_o he_o make_v at_o his_o death_n wherein_o among_o other_o thing_n he_o affirm_v that_o the_o chief_a cause_n why_o this_o prince_n leave_v the_o caluinist_n and_o become_v a_o antitrinitarian_n be_v this_o because_o for_o sooth_n in_o the_o scripture_n he_o can_v find_v nothing_o of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n and_o for_o that_o the_o caluinist_n be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o the_o word_n whereby_o the_o mystery_n of_o
