that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o as_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o be_v infallible_a in_o its_o doctrine_n neither_o do_v it_o exact_a from_o its_o child_n a_o submission_n of_o their_o

point_n of_o doctrine_n so_o must_v i_o continue_v in_o my_o opinion_n of_o the_o pride_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o protestancy_n 1._o because_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v any_o thing_n inculcate_v to_o you_o by_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o you_o in_o writing_n as_o if_o the_o divine_a majesty_n have_v not_o as_o much_o right_a to_o command_v by_o order_n intimate_v to_o we_o by_o

without_o any_o writing_n or_o scripture_n neither_o be_v any_o thing_n write_v in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n whereupon_o protestant_n may_v with_o any_o colour_n of_o probability_n ground_n their_o pretend_a privilege_n of_o not_o believe_v any_o thing_n but_o scripture_n and_o this_o do_v in_o many_o place_n tell_v they_o they_o be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o believe_v tradition_n or_o god_n unwritten_a word_n as_o the_o write_v now_o why_o englishmen_n and_o some_o northern_a people_n alone_o shall_v refuse_v to_o obey_v the_o catholic_a church_n unless_o it_o show_v for_o every_o

this_o must_v be_v pride_n and_o obstinacy_n 2._o the_o pride_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o this_o their_o pretend_a privilege_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o fundation_n of_o all_o protestant_a reformation_n be_v further_o discover_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o aprinciple_n wherein_o all_o protestant_n agree_v which_o be_v that_o not_o one_o of_o they_o think_v he_o be_v bind_v in_o

be_v the_o reason_n why_o protestant_n be_v divide_v into_o so_o many_o sect_n how_o this_o principle_n and_o practice_n may_v be_v excuse_v from_o heretical_a pride_n and_o obstinacy_n i_o know_v not_o for_o they_o stand_v at_o a_o defiance_n with_o all_o church_n and_o will_v as_o little_o submit_v their_o judgment_n to_o their_o own_o as_o to_o that_o of_o rome_n every_o protestant_n be_v
