for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v perceive_v but_o that_o the_o canon_n and_o decree_n of_o dead_a council_n be_v liable_a to_o wrest_v and_o misinterpretation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n methinks_v the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n book_n be_v a_o very_a strong_a proof_n of_o this_o and_o many_o instance_n of_o the_o like_a i_o can_v give_v but_o i_o shall_v omit_v they_o because_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o the_o sense_n of_o many_o canon_n be_v exceed_o disputable_a thus_o i_o plain_o perceive_v upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n that_o either_o record_n of_o council_n be_v no_o infallible_a or_o sufficient_a guide_n or_o if_o they_o be_v so_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v much_o more_o such_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o protestant_n be_v in_o the_o right_n by_o rely_v main_o upon_o the_o scripture_n certain_o if_o a_o write_n can_v afford_v infallible_a direction_n the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n have_v the_o best_a pretence_n in_o the_o world_n to_o that_o office_n therefore_o the_o reform_a church_n have_v reason_n in_o some_o respect_n to_o thank_v the_o french_a papist_n for_o althô_o their_o pretend_a unerring_a director_n be_v not_o sufficient_a yet_o it_o suggest_v to_o they_o where_o they_o may_v find_v out_o one_o that_o be_v very_o sufficient_a such_o will_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o that_o model_n of_o a_o infallible_a guide_n which_o be_v advance_v and_o defend_v by_o the_o gallican_n church_n and_o by_o other_o that_o follow_v their_o method_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o far_a inconvenience_n in_o it_o enough_o to_o dissatisfie_v any_o considerative_a person_n whatsoever_o i_o be_v content_a as_o you_o have_v hear_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o great_a controversy_n above_o mention_v between_o the_o italian_a and_o french_a man_n i_o can_v have_v prevail_v with_o myself_o to_o have_v connive_v at_o the_o many_o dissension_n under_o which_o the_o gallican_n divine_v do_v labour_n concern_v the_o nature_n and_o constitution_n of_o a_o general_n council_n yet_o after_o all_o i_o perceive_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o get_v to_o a_o end_n of_o their_o controversy_n in_o so_o much_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v encumber_v the_o reader_n with_o a_o tedious_a and_o long_a account_n of_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v consider_v be_v their_o dissension_n concern_v the_o extent_n of_o that_o infallibility_n which_o they_o attribute_v to_o general_n council_n for_o some_o extend_v the_o suppose_a infallibility_n attend_v the_o council_n aforesaid_a to_o all_o sort_n of_o decree_n whether_o they_o concern_v faith_n or_o practice_n and_o this_o be_v the_o current_a sense_n of_o the_o university_n of_o paris_n 145_o year_n ago_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o conclusion_n concern_v this_o affair_n public_o agree_v upon_o and_o declare_v anno_fw-la dom._n 1542._o by_o the_o theological_a faculty_n of_o that_o university_n articulo_fw-la 22._o it_o be_v certain_a say_v

and_o the_o church_n but_o of_o late_a the_o gallican_n doctor_n sing_v a_o new_a song_n they_o have_v depart_v from_o this_o opinion_n of_o their_o predecessor_n and_o restrain_v their_o imagine_a infallibility_n of_o council_n only_o to_o matter_n of_o faith._n and_o a_o account_n of_o this_o one_o may_v find_v p._n 9_o of_o the_o reflection_n make_v upon_o the_o first_o answer_n give_v to_o the_o papist_n misrepresented_a and_o represent_v beside_o it_o be_v in_o every_o body_n mouth_n that_o have_v be_v educate_v in_o france_n that_o in_o matter_n of_o practice_n discipline_n or_o government_n general_a council_n be_v not_o infallible_a thus_o at_o one_o stroke_n the_o french_a doctor_n of_o these_o last_o age_n have_v cut_v off_o at_o least_o in_o nine_o or_o ten_o part_n from_o the_o extent_n of_o that_o infallibility_n which_o their_o predecessor_n 145_o year_n ago_o do_v ascribe_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o council_n for_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o practice_n appertain_v to_o christianity_n be_v to_o speak_v within_o compass_n nine_o or_o ten_o time_n as_o many_o as_o the_o matter_n of_o faith._n so_o the_o modern_a french_a clergy_n do_v hold_v a_o much_o less_o extend_a infallibility_n then_o what_o be_v heretofore_o hold_v and_o teach_v by_o the_o theological_a faculty_n of_o paris_n above_o mention_v and_o according_a to_o the_o modern_a position_n or_o doctrine_n we_o be_v desert_v by_o the_o unerring_a guide_n in_o much_o the_o great_a part_n of_o christianity_n and_o may_v err_v and_o wander_v in_o all_o practical_a point_n and_o scatter_v as_o much_o as_o any_o heretic_n whatever_o hereupon_o some_o perhaps_o will_v say_v that_o although_o the_o office_n of_o a_o infallible_a conductor_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o very_a small_a compass_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v his_o help_n and_o assistance_n as_o little_a as_o it_o be_v than_o to_o want_v it_o true_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o i_o think_v so_o too_o but_o then_o i_o consider_v that_o most_o of_o those_o point_n controvert_v between_o protestant_n and_o papist_n be_v matter_n of_o practice_n therefore_o if_o the_o unerring_a direction_n of_o the_o guide_n do_v not_o extend_v to_o practical_a decree_n it_o follow_v that_o most_o of_o the_o point_n aforesaid_a have_v not_o hitherto_o be_v infallible_o determine_v in_o savour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o worship_n of_o image_n the_o adoration_n of_o the_o gross_a the_o worship_n of_o angel_n and_o saint_n the_o half_a communion_n the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n and_o several_a other_o thing_n be_v point_n of_o practice_n and_o not_o proper_o matter_n of_o faith._n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o decree_v make_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n concern_v those_o thing_n do_v virtual_o and_o implicit_o contain_v a_o point_n of_o faith_n by_o oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o lawfulness_n or_o expediency_n of_o do_v they_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o case_n of_o other_o decree_n about_o matter_n of_o practice_n discipline_n or_o government_n be_v just_a the_o same_o in_o so_o much_o that_o either_o all_o practical_a decree_n must_v for_o this_o reason_n be_v reducible_a to_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o else_o the_o decree_n concern_v image_n worship_n half_a communion_n and_o the_o rest_n abovemention_v can_v be_v reduce_v to_o that_o kind_n but_o must_v be_v rank_v among_o matter_n of_o practice_n and_o so_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o infallible_a determination_n if_o the_o description_n of_o the_o guide_n give_v by_o the_o french_a divine_n be_v true_a but_o if_o any_o man_n will_v maintain_v that_o all_o practical_a decree_n be_v reducible_a to_o matter_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a than_o the_o depose_n canon_n of_o the_o lateran_n council_n be_v reducible_a to_o the_o same_o kind_n and_o be_v consequent_o establish_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n by_o a_o infallible_a decree_n which_o make_v it_o a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n now_o this_o be_v that_o great_a inconvenience_n which_o the_o french_a clergy_n do_v endeavour_v to_o avoid_v by_o restrain_v the_o unerring_a privilege_n of_o the_o council_n to_o matter_n of_o faith_n alone_o they_o be_v sensible_a that_o several_a constitution_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n be_v prejudicial_a to_o right_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o injurious_a to_o the_o libertis_fw-la of_o the_o gallican_n church_n they_o be_v aware_a of_o the_o great_a mischief_n which_o those_o canon_n and_o decree_n make_v for_o depose_v king_n may_v bring_v upon_o they_o if_o their_o potent_a monarch_n shall_v perceive_v that_o such_o doctrine_n be_v judge_v essential_a to_o the_o religion_n of_o rome_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n they_o wary_o restrain_v the_o suppose_a infallibility_n of_o council_n to_o matter_n of_o faith_n alone_o and_o so_o give_v themselves_o room_n and_o scope_n enough_o to_o run_v down_o the_o depose_n canon_n &_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o to_o pretend_v that_o they_o have_v a_o infallible_a guide_n still_o leave_v in_o store_n but_o this_o design_n will_v be_v quite_o ruin_v if_o practical_a decree_n be_v therefore_o esteem_v to_o be_v infallible_a because_o they_o include_v or_o suppose_v a_o speculative_a doctrine_n concern_v the_o lawfulness_n or_o expediency_n of_o thing_n they_o enjoin_v for_o if_o such_o decree_n and_o constitution_n be_v infallible_a than_o they_o be_v essential_a part_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n religion_n even_o the_o depose_n canon_n among_o the_o rest_n so_o that_o i_o plain_o see_v the_o frenchman_n will_v be_v necessitate_v by_o trust_v to_o the_o conduct_n of_o their_o infallible_a guide_n either_o to_o own_o that_o
thing_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o we_o see_v hence_o how_o express_v our_o saviour_n word_n be_v that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v teach_v to_o observe_v whatever_o he_o command_v his_o
