of_o lot_n in_o the_o election_n of_o minister_n if_o it_o here_o be_v object_v that_o christ_n may_v give_v lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o precept_n when_o he_o be_v with_o his_o apostle_n i_o answer_v so_o also_o may_v he_o give_v they_o the_o other_o to_o be_v use_v when_o there_o may_v be_v person_n find_v of_o seem_o equal_a fitness_n to_o serve_v the_o church_n 2._o you_o reckon_v the_o use_n of_o lot_n act_n 1._o among_o miracle_n as_o your_o other_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o use_v they_o to_o decide_v any_o controversy_n but_o why_o you_o shall_v so_o do_v i_o see_v no_o more_o reason_n than_o to_o say_v josh_n 22._o mention_v any_o miracle_n towards_o the_o composure_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o tribe_n and_o israel_n where_o in_o truth_n no_o such_o

it_o be_v every_o one_o that_o can_v read_v must_v needs_o see_v for_o be_v not_o these_o your_o word_n but_o you_o say_v reason_n be_v on_o my_o side_n etc._n etc._n and_o demand_v by_o who_o we_o

not_o here_o tell_v we_o plain_o that_o god_n must_v take_v up_o our_o quarrel_n follow_v as_o he_o do_v those_o of_o moses_n and_o true_o otherwise_o i_o may_v as_o you_o foresee_v very_o possible_o tell_v you_o that_o your_o allegation_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o question_n who_o must_v take_v up_o the_o quarrel_n it_o be_v pretty_a to_o see_v what_o stuff_n you_o make_v of_o it_o and_o then_o how_o you_o digress_v to_o rail_v at_o our_o baptism_n and_o pastor_n i_o say_v rail_v for_o you_o bring_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o baptist_n i_o have_v say_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a

the_o first_o i_o show_v that_o in_o the_o case_n of_o moses_n there_o be_v miracle_n against_o miracle_n only_a god_n give_v a_o note_n of_o distinction_n between_o those_o sign_n insomuch_o as_o the_o serpent_n that_o come_v of_o moses_n rod_n devour_v the_o other_o from_o whence_o i_o only_o note_v that_o its_o god_n way_n to_o give_v some_o powerful_a note_n of_o distinction_n between_o the_o witness_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o deceiver_n and_o now_o be_v not_o this_o my_o observation_n very_o pertinent_a to_o our_o case_n you_o say_v you_o be_v the_o church_n we_o say_v we_o be_v the_o church_n here_o be_v testimony_n against_o testimony_n as_o there_o be_v miracle_n against_o miracle_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o now_o give_v some_o powerful_a note_n of_o distinction_n between_o our_o doctrine_n and_o you_o concern_v the_o church_n as_o he_o do_v between_o stephen_n and_o the_o alexandrian_n i_o pray_v who_o must_v take_v up_o the_o quarrel_n between_o u_o saint_n be_v it_o fit_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v judge_n in_o your_o own_o case_n here_o if_o so_o why_o may_v not_o we_o if_o the_o council_n and_o father_n be_v of_o the_o papal_a church_n than_o it_o be_v not_o any_o more_o reasonable_a that_o you_o shall_v summon_v we_o to_o their_o arbitrament_n than_o it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o summon_v you_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o predecessor_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o you_o and_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v infallible_o assist_v to_o write_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n for_o we_o to_o observe_v therefore_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v both_o appeal_v to_o they_o if_o you_o object_n the_o prophet_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o alive_a to_o interpret_v their_o write_n and_o that_o our_o difference_n be_v about_o the_o sense_n thereof_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n be_v every_o way_n as_o forceable_a against_o the_o decree_n of_o council_n and_o volume_n of_o father_n for_o their_o write_n must_v be_v interpret_v expound_v etc._n etc._n and_o we_o differ_v about_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o second_o the_o way_n you_o assign_v we_o to_o agree_v they_o be_v to_o consult_v they_o together_o etc._n etc._n now_o i_o will_v know_v why_o we_o may_v not_o be_v allow_v this_o way_n to_o seek_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v not_o one_o objection_n which_o yet_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o level_v against_o our_o appeal_n to_o holy_a scripture_n etc._n etc._n as_o the_o only_a infallible_a mean_n to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n between_o you_o and_o we_o but_o the_o same_o objection_n be_v more_o forceable_a against_o all_o that_o you_o appeal_v to_o for_o decision_n of_o the_o say_a controversy_n papist_n you_o except_v against_o our_o miracle_n because_o we_o bring_v they_o to_o prove_v our_o church_n by_o but_o if_o it_o appear_v as_o it_o do_v that_o god_n work_v miracle_n upon_o those_o that_o actual_o call_v upon_o his_o bless_a mother_n and_o his_o other_o saint_n or_o whilst_o they_o be_v perform_v some_o of_o our_o religious_a practice_n which_o you_o abhor_v be_v it_o not_o a_o argument_n that_o god_n approve_v they_o it_o be_v god_n then_o and_o not_o we_o that_o bring_v miracle_n to_o prove_v our_o church_n baptist_n you_o will_v still_o have_v your_o miracle_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a mark_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o your_o church_n especial_o those_o of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n you_o mean_v the_o image_n so_o call_v at_o loreto_n or_o as_o you_o phrased_a it_o in_o your_o three_o paper_n the_o lady_n of_o loreto_n but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v small_a cause_n you_o shall_v refer_v i_o to_o what_o be_v do_v there_o as_o a_o infallible_a mark_n that_o your_o church_n be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o by_o the_o relation_n of_o two_o eye-witness_n which_o i_o have_v read_v it_o be_v a_o place_n of_o most_o gross_a idolatry_n blind_a devotion_n and_o deceit_n one_o of_o which_o author_n be_v once_o a_o teacher_n of_o your_o church_n who_o before_o his_o separation_n from_o you_o travel_v to_o loreto_n to_o see_v if_o the_o image_n of_o the_o virgin_n will_v inform_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o it_o be_v now_o constitute_v for_o he_o be_v doubtful_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o have_v be_v inform_v that_o if_o any_o person_n be_v guilty_a of_o mortal_a sin_n which_o if_o the_o papal_a church_n be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n he_o conclude_v he_o must_v needs_o be_v guilty_a of_o in_o question_v she_o at_o least_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o friar_n who_o wait_v there_o upon_o that_o image_n he_o have_v be_v inform_v i_o say_v that_o if_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o mortal_a sin_n do_v but_o pray_v before_o the_o lady_n of_o loreto_n the_o say_a image_n will_v either_o blush_v or_o fall_v into_o a_o sweat_n and_o so_o resolve_v the_o petitioner_n in_o the_o affirmative_a but_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o lady_n of_o loreto_n and_o this_o informant_a than_o it_o be_v no_o mortal_a sin_n to_o think_v that_o the_o papal_a church_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o doubtful_a man_n pray_v earnest_o and_o behold_v the_o lady_n as_o steadfast_o but_o no_o sweat_n nor_o change_v befall_v she_o at_o all_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o friar_n rule_n it_o be_v no_o mortal_a sin_n to_o think_v the_o papal_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v especial_o observable_a here_o that_o whereas_o you_o will_v persuade_v yourself_o and_o other_o that_o i_o send_v man_n to_o heaven_n for_o miracle_n to_o decide_v controversy_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o you_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v herein_o guilty_a for_o the_o controversy_n be_v whether_o the_o papal_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n you_o affirm_v i_o deny_v to_o decide_v this_o controversy_n you_o refer_v i_o to_o miracle_n as_o the_o special_a mean_n or_o chief_a mark_n whereby_o i_o may_v be_v resolve_v in_o this_o matter_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o this_o and_o your_o two_o former_a paper_n so_o that_o what_o you_o will_v cast_v upon_o i_o fall_v clear_o upon_o yourself_o save_o that_o instead_o of_o send_v i_o to_o heaven_n you_o send_v i_o to_o loreto_n in_o my_o
