the_o infamy_n and_o other_o punishment_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n use_v to_o pour_v out_o upon_o all_o those_o she_o call_v heretic_n hence_o the_o pope_n faith_n must_v either_o be_v the_o chief_a standard_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o whole_a church_n or_o else_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o have_v now_o so_o irrefragable_o prove_v one_o may_v be_v formal_o a_o papist_n or_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o yet_o not_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n because_o if_o what_o the_o pope_n have_v define_v may_v be_v reject_v and_o laugh_v at_o without_o break_v visible_a communion_n with_o that_o church_n one_o may_v be_v out_o of_o visible_a communion_n with_o her_o head_n and_o notwithstanding_o in_o visible_a communion_n with_o herself_o and_o that_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n and_o not_o a_o member_n of_o she_o since_o according_a to_o the_o power_n all_o papist_n contend_v be_v in_o the_o pope_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o she_o to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o or_o god_n will_v require_v a_o condition_n of_o be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o that_o church_n which_o that_o one_o may_v be_v so_o he_o be_v oblige_v not_o to_o perform_v to_o wit_n in_o case_n the_o pope_n shall_v define_v contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n which_o undoubted_o he_o can_v do_v if_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a since_o even_o then_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o he_o can_v not_o be_v that_o unless_o he_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n but_o now_o he_o can_v not_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n too_o because_o if_o he_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n of_o necessity_n he_o must_v outward_o profess_v a_o doctrine_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o so_o with_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o consequent_o contradictory_n obligation_n be_v exact_v of_o all_o christian_n if_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v fallible_a in_o his_o definition_n and_o if_o a_o necessity_n of_o conform_v to_o they_o be_v requisite_a for_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o and_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o be_v essential_o necessary_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n all_o papist_n therefore_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o either_o the_o pope_n definition_n be_v universal_o to_o be_v acquiesce_v in_o or_o that_o the_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o he_o be_v no_o essential_a constituent_n of_o be_v a_o member_n of_o their_o church_n and_o if_o they_o can_v deny_v the_o latter_a as_o certain_o they_o can_v then_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o his_o authority_n be_v infallible_a in_o decide_v any_o thing_n he_o shall_v take_v under_o his_o cognizance_n and_o that_o all_o his_o thunder_n be_v the_o thunder_n of_o heaven_n indeed_o it_o be_v therefore_o undeniable_a that_o every_o papist_n be_v bind_v by_o his_o principle_n to_o be_v of_o the_o pope_n faith_n and_o to_o pin_n his_o salvation_n upon_o his_o holiness_n sleeve_n neither_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v object_v to_o the_o least_o sentence_n of_o all_o this_o unless_o it_o be_v that_o since_o private_a bishop_n be_v not_o infallible_a though_o they_o excommunicate_v with_o a_o anathema_n so_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v both_o fallible_a and_o yet_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v with_o such_o a_o heavy_a curse_n too_o but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a disparity_n between_o the_o case_n of_o private_a bishop_n and_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n for_o however_o much_o they_o may_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n there_o be_v always_o redress_v and_o place_n for_o a_o appeal_n and_o before_o one_o or_o his_o doctrine_n be_v condemn_v by_o the_o supreme_a judge_n though_o that_o private_a communion_n be_v break_v yet_o the_o catholic_n will_v be_v entire_a and_o god_n have_v not_o absolute_o require_v the_o one_o as_o he_o have_v do_v the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o argument_n i_o have_v here_o adduce_v depend_v upon_o no_o more_o from_o the_o case_n of_o private_a bishop_n than_o this_o that_o as_o they_o can_v condemn_v proposition_n and_o therefore_o all_o those_o in_o their_o diocese_n who_o do_v not_o embrace_v their_o condemnation_n become_v formal_o thereby_o to_o be_v exclude_v visible_a communion_n with_o they_o so_o it_o fare_v betwixt_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o general_n and_o i_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o as_o therefore_o those_o bishop_n ought_v to_o be_v infallible_a the_o pope_n be_v so_o too_o for_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o antecedent_n from_o which_o this_o last_o consequent_a be_v bring_v be_v altogether_o false_a but_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n be_v deduce_v as_o a_o result_n from_o these_o three_o the_o first_o that_o as_o private_a bishop_n can_v exclude_v from_o communion_n with_o they_o those_o of_o their_o diocese_n who_o submit_v not_o to_o their_o definition_n so_o the_o pope_n can_v do_v those_o of_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o second_o that_o it_o be_v essential_o requisite_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o three_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o have_v of_o the_o true_a faith_n to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n now_o it_o not_o be_v so_o requisite_a for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o so_o for_o have_v the_o true_a faith_n to_o be_v in_o visible_a communion_n with_o any_o private_a bishop_n the_o pope_n infallibility_n can_v never_o be_v deny_v because_o no_o private_a bishop_n pretend_v to_o it_o whatever_o power_n of_o make_v definition_n he_o be_v invest_v with_o since_o thus_o one_o part_n of_o my_o argument_n be_v only_o consider_v without_o reflect_v upon_o the_o rest_n and_o here_o i_o defy_v the_o whole_a papist_n in_o world_n to_o give_v i_o any_o solid_a answer_n to_o it_o what_o else_o then_o remain_v for_o demonstrate_v that_o all_o papist_n either_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n whereby_o it_o be_v hold_v lawful_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o excommunicate_v all_o those_o prince_n he_o shall_v reckon_v for_o heretic_n and_o to_o loose_v their_o subject_n oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o they_o but_o only_o to_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o contrary_a tenet_n be_v erroneous_a and_o heretical_a and_o rob_v he_o of_o that_o power_n he_o as_o christ_n vicar_n have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o now_o what_o pope_n have_v do_v and_o what_o style_n they_o have_v use_v in_o their_o bull_n towards_o prince_n since_o pope_n hildebrand_n time_n all_o the_o world_n know_v as_o also_o how_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n treat_v our_o countryman_n john_n barclay_n as_o a_o heretic_n for_o maintain_v the_o interest_n of_o prince_n against_o the_o usurpation_n of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n and_o how_o this_o poor_a man_n circumstance_n oblige_v he_o to_o retract_v at_o rome_n what_o he_o have_v print_v at_o london_n and_o that_o in_o as_o public_a a_o manner_n if_o a_o preface_n to_o his_o paroencsis_n can_v be_v account_v to_o be_v such_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o appeal_v to_o all_o those_o witness_n by_o which_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n of_o this_o can_v be_v attest_v i_o myself_o indeed_o have_v be_v call_v a_o liar_n to_o my_o face_n for_o have_v say_v last_v when_o i_o preach_v in_o this_o place_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v as_o tenacious_a of_o this_o doctrine_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o i_o may_v have_v be_v allow_v as_o much_o common_a honesty_n at_o least_o as_o not_o to_o be_v think_v impudent_o to_o averr_n those_o thing_n in_o a_o

establish_n of_o the_o constitution_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o subject_n power_n to_o divest_v themselves_o of_o such_o a_o right_n nor_o in_o the_o sovereign_n to_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o as_o be_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v before_o in_o this_o head_n upon_o which_o i_o now_o be_o wherefore_o all_o the_o interpretative_a right_o that_o subject_n have_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o constitution_n must_v only_o be_v so_o as_o it_o bear_v a_o full_a analogy_n to_o the_o very_o be_v and_o nature_n of_o the_o constitution_n itself_o as_o you_o see_v those_o thing_n

pope_n but_o further_a all_o papist_n must_v either_o understand_v by_o that_o govern_n power_n which_o they_o say_v be_v inherent_a in_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o be_v pope_n as_o immediate_a a_o

to_o be_v no_o more_o but_o only_o a_o certain_a patriarch_n at_o best_a and_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v any_o papist_n state_n i_o any_o middle_a power_n of_o primacy_n and_o head-ship_n betwixt_o such_o a_o jurisdiction_n and_o such_o a_o patriarchal_a priority_n they_o must_v speak_v sense_n close_o to_o the_o point_n and_o not_o mere_a word_n but_o why_o be_o i_o plead_v only_o for_o a_o

of_o that_o body_n namely_o their_o diocesian_a church_n of_o which_o they_o be_v the_o head._n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o infer_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v and_o do_v deal_v so_o as_o
