the_o question_n will_v remain_v void_v for_o the_o catholic_a church_n call_v tradition_n that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v public_o deliver_v and_o the_o heretic_n call_v tradition_n a_o kind_n of_o

whether_o it_o appeart_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o exchequer_n of_o superabundant_a merit_n of_o which_o the_o pope_n be_v lord_n treasurer_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o he_o dispense_v

of_o what_o they_o know_v such_o infinite_a volume_n of_o author_n shall_v make_v no_o mention_n suppose_v some_o private_a doctrine_n of_o a_o apostle_n to_o object_n some_o disciple_n shall_v be_v

it_o will_v be_v a_o damnation_n to_o reject_v because_o the_o descent_n from_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o notorious_a and_o fit_a to_o sway_v the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n i_o confess_v that_o to_o have_v be_v no_o more_o general_o resp._n deliver_v will_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n think_v not_o such_o a_o doctrine_n necessary_a else_o their_o charity_n will_v not_o have_v suffer_v they_o to_o have_v so_o much_o conceal_v it_o but_o yet_o to_o any_o such_o doctrine_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o christian_n who_o believe_v the_o testimony_n that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o apostle_n shall_v deny_v his_o assent_n because_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o authority_n upon_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v ground_v for_o the_o church_n pretend_v to_o her_o authority_n from_o they_o and_o not_o they_o from_o she_o and_o howsoever_o such_o a_o doctrine_n although_o not_o necessary_a can_v not_o be_v damnable_a as_o you_o make_v this_o beside_o here_o will_v first_o arise_v a_o question_n not_o easy_a to_o be_v decide_v how_o great_a a_o multitude_n of_o witness_n will_v serve_v to_o be_v notorious_a and_o fit_a to_o sway_v the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n especial_o so_o many_o have_v not_o for_o a_o long_a while_n be_v think_v fit_a even_o by_o catholic_n though_o attest_v doctrine_n since_o receive_v by_o you_o all_o and_o consider_v that_o multitude_n of_o your_o church_n which_o believe_v the_o immaculate_a conception_n in_o as_o high_a a_o degree_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a without_o excommunicate_v the_o denier_n who_o either_o walk_v not_o by_o that_o which_o you_o count_v the_o only_a catholic_a rule_n or_o else_o claim_v such_o a_o tradition_n who_o yet_o be_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o sway_v the_o rest_n second_o i_o pray_v observe_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o two_o first_o age_n at_o least_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o and_o all_o that_o be_v extant_a to_o have_v give_v assent_n to_o tradition_n so_o unsufficient_o testify_v or_o to_o have_v mistake_v doctrine_n under_o that_o notion_n for_o so_o they_o do_v to_o this_o of_o the_o chiliast_n and_o then_o after_o for_o it_o to_o spread_v till_o it_o be_v general_a land_n last_o as_o long_o as_o man_n last_o upon_o their_o authority_n and_o when_o once_o it_o be_v so_o spread_v how_o shall_v we_o then_o discover_v how_o small_a a_o original_a it_o have_v when_o peradventure_o the_o head_n and_o spring_n of_o it_o will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o find_v as_o that_o of_o nilus_n so_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o what_o you_o receive_v may_v possible_o appear_v to_o be_v no_o certain_a nor_o better_o build_v if_o we_o can_v dig_v to_o the_o foundation_n wherefore_o since_o the_o delivery_n of_o a_o tradition_n by_o subsequent_a age_n have_v its_o validity_n only_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o first_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v either_o think_v that_o they_o receive_v none_o but_o upon_o better_a ground_n or_o else_o think_v these_o ground_n good_a three_o i_o know_v not_o why_o you_o resolve_v this_o opinion_n of_o the_o chiliast_n to_o have_v have_v only_o such_o a_o private_a tradition_n for_o though_o they_o name_n john_n the_o disciple_n and_o mention_v certain_a priest_n who_o hear_v it_o from_o he_o yet_o they_o deny_v not_o a_o moregeneraldelivery_n of_o it_o but_o peradventure_o least_o man_n may_v think_v that_o the_o general_a opinion_n that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o apostle_n may_v arise_v from_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o fallacy_n their_o testimony_n when_o not_o so_o full_o express_v be_v still_o in_o danger_n of_o concern_v any_o point_n but_o that_o these_o book_n be_v write_v by_o these_o man_n they_o therefore_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o name_n to_o we_o their_o witness_n that_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n own_o mouth_n and_o in_o what_o word_n and_o if_o they_o have_v do_v so_o much_o on_o your_o side_n for_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v now_o have_v few_o protestant_a adversary_n leave_v for_o you_o will_v have_v convert_v the_o great_a part_n and_o by_o that_o have_v be_v enable_v to_o burn_v the_o small_a the_o second_o question_n may_v be_v how_o it_o come_v to_o object_n pass_v that_o some_o thing_n which_o at_o first_o bind_v not_o the_o church_n belief_n afterward_o come_v to_o bind_v it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v ever_o a_o tradition_n it_o ever_o must_v needs_o be_v public_a and_o ever_o bind_v the_o church_n and_o if_o once_o it_o be_v not_o it_o appear_v not_o how_o ever_o it_o can_v come_v to_o be_v for_o if_o this_o age_n for_o example_n have_v it_o not_o how_o can_v it_o deliver_v it_o to_o the_o next_o that_o follow_v but_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o

that_o neither_o be_v the_o church_n a_o competent_a guide_n because_o in_o all_o age_n there_o have_v also_o be_v dispute_n not_o only_o about_o her_o authority_n but_o even_o which_o be_v she_o and_o to_o whatsoever_o reason_n he_o impute_v this_o to_o the_o same_o may_v we_o the_o other_o as_o to_o negligence_n pride_n praejudication_n and_o the_o like_a and_o if_o he_o please_v to_o search_v i_o very_o believe_v he_o will_v find_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v both_o easy_a to_o be_v know_v then_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o know_v what_o these_o

must_v be_v keep_v safe_a in_o some_o hand_n who_o authority_n must_v beget_v our_o acceptance_n of_o it_o which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o church_n of_o all_o age_n we_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o have_v preserve_v that_o free_a from_o corruption_n than_o itself_o in_o a_o continual_a visibilitie_n i_o answer_v that_o neither_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o scripture_n nor_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o be_v require_v a_o continual_a visibility_n of_o a_o no-way_n err_v body_n of_o christian_n the_o writer_n of_o they_o give_v they_o their_o authority_n among_o christian_n nor_o can_v the_o church_n move_v any_o other_o and_o that_o they_o be_v the_o writer_n we_o receive_v from_o the_o general_a tradition_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o first_o

only_o by_o their_o church_n but_o by_o other_o as_o by_o the_o greek_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o to_o the_o keep_n and_o transmit_v of_o record_n safe_o it_o be_v require_v to_o understand_v they_o perfect_o since_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v keep_v and_o transmit_v by_o the_o jew_n who_o yet_o be_v so_o capable_a of_o err_v that_o out_o of_o it_o they_o look_v for_o a_o temporal_a king_n when_o it_o speak_v of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o i_o think_v the_o testimony_n be_v great_a of_o a_o church_n which_o contradict_v the_o scripture_n then_o of_o one_o which_o do_v
