he_o can_v be_v infallible_a in_o nothing_o protestant_n believe_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o be_v infallible_o true_a and_o this_o they_o believe_v with_o all_o the_o firmness_n and_o certainty_n of_o assent_n but_o this_o be_v not_o what_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n use_v to_o call_v infallibility_n though_o the_o jesuit_n if_o it_o be_v not_o mere_a want_n of_o understanding_n in_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v hammer_v out_o a_o new_a notion_n of_o infallibility_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o rude_a and_o imperfect_a embryo_n yet_o we_o shall_v see_v what_o they_o will_v make_v of_o it_o in_o time_n and_o here_o i_o find_v myself_o oblige_v to_o look_v a_o little_a backward_o to_o see_v how_o he_o state_v the_o church_n infallibility_n for_o he_o mighty_o complain_v of_o protestant_a misrepresentation_n about_o it_o 13._o our_o guide_n then_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n either_o diffusive_a in_o its_o whole_a extent_n that_o be_v as_o it_o contain_v or_o signify_v the_o whole_a number_n of_o christian_n all_o the_o world_n over_o or_o representative_a in_o its_o head_n and_o bishop_n the_o pope_n and_o a_o general_n council_n the_o church_n diffusive_a or_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o christian_n on_o earth_n be_v most_o certain_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n on_o earth_n be_v that_o church_n to_o which_o most_o of_o the_o promise_v make_v to_o the_o church_n in_o scripture_n be_v make_v but_o how_o this_o church_n diffusive_a shall_v be_v our_o guide_n want_v to_o be_v explain_v if_o the_o church_n diffusive_a or_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o christian_n be_v the_o guide_n who_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v unless_o the_o guide_n be_v to_o be_v a_o guide_n only_o to_o himself_o however_o i_o hope_v then_o every_o particular_a christian_a will_v be_v allow_v a_o private_a judgement_n of_o his_o own_o for_o the_o church_n diffusive_a will_v be_v a_o very_a strange_a guide_n if_o it_o can_v use_v its_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o how_o the_o whole_a which_o consist_v of_o all_o particular_a christian_n shall_v judge_v for_o itself_o when_o no_o particular_a christian_n must_v judge_v be_v somewhat_o mysterious_a that_o be_v that_o all_o christian_n must_v judge_v and_o yet_o none_o must_v judge_v but_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v with_o he_o about_o this_o but_o whenever_o he_o will_v collect_v the_o vote_n of_o the_o church_n diffusive_a or_o of_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n i_o promise_v to_o subscribe_v to_o their_o definition_n the_o representative_a church_n be_v the_o head_n and_o bishop_n the_o pope_n and_o a_o general_n council_n i_o think_v the_o pope_n in_o jesuit_n divinity_n have_v be_v the_o church_n virtual_a and_o a_o general_n council_n the_o church_n representative_a church_n but_o i_o have_v in_o a_o late_a discourse_n prove_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n nor_o a_o council_n of_o bishop_n the_o representative_a of_o it_o and_o he_o may_v try_v his_o skill_n upon_o it_o when_o he_o please_v now_o it_o seem_v the_o church_n diffusive_a have_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o general_a faith_n of_o christian_n first_o receive_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o preserve_v by_o all_o bishop_n in_o their_o respective_a diocese_n and_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o action_n of_o each_o faithful_a believer_n in_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n strange_a that_o our_o jesuit_n shall_v now_o at_o last_o turn_v a_o mere_a blackloist_n or_o traditionary_a divine_a this_o general_a faith_n of_o christian_n he_o compare_v to_o the_o common_a law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o show_v i_o suppose_v his_o skill_n in_o the_o law_n and_o make_v the_o learned_a gentleman_n of_o the_o temple_n to_o pity_n or_o scorn_v the_o master_n ignorance_n well_o let_v that_o be_v as_o it_o will_v for_o i_o pretend_v to_o no_o skill_n in_o law_n but_o as_o for_o this_o general_a faith_n of_o christian_n whatever_o it_o be_v like_a i_o will_v glad_o learn_v from_o the_o church_n diffusive_a what_o it_o be_v for_o i_o matter_n nothing_o else_o but_o the_o general_n faith_n of_o christian_n but_o how_o to_o learn_v this_o he_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v preserve_v he_o say_v by_o all_o bishop_n in_o their_o respective_a diocese_n and_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o action_n of_o each_o faithful_a believer_n in_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n well_o then_o must_v we_o examine_v all_o bishop_n and_o every_o particular_a believer_n about_o this_o this_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v will_v any_o one_o bishop_n or_o any_o one_o particular_a believer_n since_o every_o bishop_n and_o every_o particular_a believer_n have_v it_o suffice_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o general_a faith_n of_o christian_n be_v be_v this_o a_o infallible_a conveyance_n of_o the_o faith_n to_o depend_v upon_o the_o tradition_n of_o bishop_n and_o christian_a people_n be_v there_o no_o faithful_a and_o authentic_a record_n of_o this_o faith_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n deliver_v to_o the_o church_n so_o one_o will_v think_v by_o this_o jesuit_n account_v who_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o if_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n can_v not_o be_v learn_v from_o they_o but_o from_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n diffusive_a thus_o much_o for_o common_a law_n but_o the_o church_n have_v her_o statute_n law_n too_o and_o they_o be_v the_o

the_o keep_n of_o the_o church_n diffusive_a and_o therefore_o one_o will_v think_v can_v be_v declare_v by_o none_o else_o do_v the_o pope_n and_o a_o general_n council_n infallible_o know_v the_o

unless_o they_o can_v infallible_o declare_v what_o they_o do_v not_o know_v if_o their_o authority_n be_v only_o to_o declare_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o they_o declare_v nothing_o but_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n for_o if_o they_o do_v their_o decree_n be_v not_o valid_a for_o they_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v false_a this_o jesuit_n have_v great_o entangle_v and_o perplex_v the_o cause_n by_o lay_v the_o whole_a stress_n upon_o the_o declarative_n and_o apply_v power_n have_v he_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n and_o a_o

never_o hear_v of_o before_o yet_o after_o their_o decision_n it_o must_v be_v receive_v as_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n though_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o former_o there_o have_v be_v some_o sense_n in_o this_o though_o no_o truth_n but_o when_o he_o say_v the_o church_n can_v only_o declare_v what_o be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n if_o i_o can_v find_v by_o ancient_a record_n that_o what_o the_o council_n declare_v to_o be_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n now_o be_v either_o not_o know_v or_o condemn_v in_o former_a age_n if_o i_o certain_o know_v that_o she_o declare_v that_o to_o be_v the_o faith_n which_o at_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o council_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o common_a faith_n of_o the_o council_n but_o be_v contradict_v by_o the_o wise_a and_o best_a part_n of_o it_o then_o i_o certain_o know_v that_o the_o council_n have_v not_o declare_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o christian_n and_o therefore_o that_o its_o decree_n be_v of_o no_o authority_n but_o he_o proceed_v we_o hold_v that_o this_o general_a faith_n receive_v

be_v all_o the_o infallibility_n the_o catholic_n church_n pretend_v to_o and_o there_o be_v no_o protestant_n but_o will_v own_o this_o infallibility_n that_o the_o faith_n at_o first_o receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n the_o same_o faith_n which_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n preserve_v in_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o the_o same_o faith_n explain_v upon_o

by_o the_o church_n representative_a so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a after_o the_o explanation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n still_o i_o say_v every_o protestant_n will_v acknowledge_v that_o this_o faith_n be_v infallible_o true_a for_o we_o believe_v the_o faith_n deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v infallible_o true_a and_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o same_o faith_n be_v still_o teach_v by_o the_o church_n whether_o in_o or_o out_o of_o council_n it_o matter_n not_o it_o must_v be_v infallible_o true_a still_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o little_a difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o jesuit_n he_o believe_v and_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o present_a faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n viz._n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v that_o faith_n which_o be_v receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n preserve_v in_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o only_o explain_v upon_o occasion_n by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o be_v the_o church_n representative_a this_o we_o deny_v this_o we_o know_v this_o we_o can_v and_o often_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a and_o i_o beseech_v you_o what_o great_a infallibility_n can_v any_o church_n pretend_v to_o than_o to_o have_v the_o world_n receive_v all_o her_o decree_n as_o infallible_o true_a but_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o either_o th●_n whole_a church_n or_o any_o person_n or_o person_n in_o it_o be_v hold_v to_o possess_v any_o intrinsic_a infallibility_n which_o they_o own_v to_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o thank_v they_o for_o nothing_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n or_o pope_n or_o council_n be_v by_o nature_n infallible_a for_o all_o the_o world_n will_v laugh_v at_o they_o if_o they_o do_v we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o he_o add_v that_o they_o can_v of_o themselves_o deceive_v we_o but_o that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n direct_v they_o by_o his_o infallible_a spirit_n it_o can_v possible_o happen_v that_o they_o shall_v deceive_v we_o the_o modesty_n of_o a_o jesuit_n who_o claim_v no_o more_o infallibility_n for_o the_o pope_n and_o general_n council_n than_o the_o apostle_n have_v and_o wonder_v any_o man_n shall_v grudge_v they_o this_o since_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o a_o intrinsic_a infallibility_n not_o to_o be_v infallible_a by_o nature_n but_o only_o by_o grace_n thus_o he_o add_v that_o they_o do_v not_o pre●end_v to_o new_a revelation_n and_o light_n nor_o admit_v any_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n though_o where_o a_o doubt_n arise_v the_o church-hath_a infallible_o power_n to_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v reveal_v by_o christ_n to_o the_o apostle_n and_o preach_v by_o they_o which_o perhaps_o some_o part_n of_o the_o church_n may_v have_v have_v a_o less_o clear_a understanding_n thereof_o but_o this_o be_v do_v not_o by_o make_v any_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o more_o clear_o deliver_v what_o be_v

former_a age_n know_v nothing_o of_o it_o yet_o it_o must_v not_o be_v call_v a_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o a_o declare_v what_o have_v be_v reveal_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o preach_v by_o they_o though_o the_o world_n have_v long_o since_o forget_v it_o whatever_o the_o church_n determine_v to_o day_n we_o must_v believe_v to_o have_v be_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o apostolic_a age_n though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o evidence_n nor_o symptom_n of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o church_n which_o be_v infallible_a say_v so_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o infallibility_n the_o church_n pretend_v too_o a_o very_a small_a matter_n to_o be_v deny_v she_o by_o christian_n it_o be_v only_o to_o believe_v whatever_o she_o say_v without_o dispute_v or_o

of_o my_o way_n to_o see_v what_o fine_a thing_n he_o have_v to_o say_v of_o the_o church_n infallibility_n which_o he_o promise_v a_o very_a favourable_a representation_n of_o but_o it_o be_v all_o the_o old_a cant_fw-mi still_o a_o little_a disguise_v by_o some_o ignorant_a blunder_n or_o artificial_a nonsense_n as_o for_o his_o proof_n of_o this_o infallibility_n i_o be_o not_o concern_v with_o they_o at_o present_a and_o after_o so_o many_o discourse_n on_o that_o argument_n they_o need_v no_o answer_n another_o argument_n whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v dispute_v into_o popery_n which_o deny_v we_o the_o use_n of_o our_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a by_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o man_n must_v not_o use_v their_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o to_o dispute_v be_v to_o appeal_v to_o reason_n and_o to_o dispute_v against_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o religion_n be_v to_o appeal_v to_o reason_n against_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o man_n must_v use_v their_o reason_n to_o come_v to_o this_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v reveal_v what_o they_o believe_v now_o i_o will_v desire_v no_o more_o but_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o must_v use_v our_o reason_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o no_o man_n at_o this_o day_n can_v know_v what_o be_v reveal_v without_o it_o i_o do_v assert_v and_o let_v he_o disprove_v i_o when_o he_o can_v that_o since_o god_n have_v give_v we_o reason_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v knowable_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o stand_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n in_o the_o

which_o plain_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o reason_n or_o a_o stand_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v judge_v of_o man_n pretence_n to_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v and_o therefore_o must_v particular_o judge_v of_o their_o doctrine_n too_o this_o be_v the_o fair_a state_n of_o the_o controversy_n between_o we_o and_o here_o i_o leave_v it_o and_o let_v he_o take_v it_o up_o again_o when_o he_o please_v and_o here_o he_o return_v back_o to_o the_o conference_n between_o a_o sturdy_a protestant_n and_o a_o new_a convert_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o

and_o judgement_n for_o the_o infallibility_n of_o your_o church_n and_o consequent_o of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o your_o infallible_a faith_n be_v as_o much_o resolve_v

for_o they_o be_v both_o alike_o call_v it_o what_o you_o will_v fallible_a or_o infallible_a we_o have_v more_o rational_a certainty_n than_o you_o have_v and_o you_o have_v no_o more_o infallible_a

without_o and_o many_o time_n against_o sense_n and_o reason_n according_a as_o it_o happen_v so_o that_o you_o have_v only_o a_o general_a assurance_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o your_o church_n and_o that_o no_o great_a than_o protestant_n pretend_v to_o in_o other_o case_n viz._n the_o certainty_n of_o reason_n and_o argument_n but_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o rational_a assurance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o your_o particular_a doctrine_n that_o if_o you_o be_v mistake_v about_o the_o infallibility_n of_o your_o church_n you_o must_v be_v miserable_o mistake_v about_o every_o

to_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n that_o be_v when_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o his_o infallibility_n we_o must_v then_o believe_v he_o upon_o his_o own_o word_n but_o not_o till_o then_o and_o
