thing_n whether_o it_o be_v easy_a or_o no_o to_o find_v the_o church_n infallibility_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v answer_v by_o her_o royal_a highness_n and_o i_o will_v not_o presume_v to_o answer_v where_o she_o have_v especial_o when_o the_o question_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o our_o business_n in_o the_o last_o place_n who_o have_v find_v the_o church_n infallibility_n have_v yet_o say_v the_o answerer_n a_o hard_a point_n to_o get_v over_o viz._n how_o the_o promise_v relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n come_v to_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o the_o way_n the_o promise_n of_o which_o he_o talk_v be_v they_o not_o in_o scripture_n and_o no_o hard_o to_o be_v find_v there_o by_o another_o than_o by_o he_o how_o come_v the_o church_n infallibility_n to_o be_v easy_o find_v there_o in_o this_o period_n which_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o find_v in_o the_o last_o for_o who_o have_v find_v the_o promise_n have_v foun●_n infallibility_n as_o certain_o as_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n never_o fail_v but_o why_o be_v we_o not_o all_o agree_v now_o that_o there_o be_v promise_n of_o infallibility_n make_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_n he_o agree_v and_o doubt_v not_o i_o suppose_v but_o that_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v good_a i_o suppose_v too_o he_o will_v allow_v that_o the_o church_n in_o general_n and_o the_o general_n church_n be_v all_o one_o and_o that_o the_o general_n and_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v but_o two_o name_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o so_o we_o be_v arrive_v at_o infallibility_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n yes_o but_o it_o must_v not_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o if_o that_o will_v content_v he_o we_o ask_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o allow_v that_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o her_o fault_n one_o of_o the_o many_o church_n which_o make_v it_o up_o to_o allow_v so_o much_o be_v to_o allow_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v infallible_a for_o roman_a catholic_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o catholic_a with_o the_o roman_a in_o what_o remain_v then_o but_o to_o take_v the_o infallibility_n promise_v to_o this_o catholic_a church_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n inquire_v and_o believe_v what_o she_o teach_v and_o leave_v off_o dispute_v for_o they_o be_v undoubted_o firm_o ground_v who_o build_v on_o the_o promise_v of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a the_o answerer_n have_v not_o all_o this_o while_n answer_v the_o question_n for_o he_o say_v not_o whether_o salvation_n ought_v to_o depend_v on_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n or_o whether_o the_o private_a judgement_n be_v a_o sandy_a foundation_n but_o he_o have_v do_v much_o better_o by_o instruct_v people_n the_o catholic_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o shall_v for_o i_o keep_v his_o thought_n of_o that_o matter_n to_o himself_o since_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o reveal_v they_o people_n i_o hope_v will_v profit_v by_o his_o instruction_n and_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n choose_v infallible_a rather_o than_o fallible_a security_n for_o their_o soul_n now_o they_o know_v where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o follow_v several_a line_n in_o his_o majesty_n paper_n which_o be_v not_o transcribe_v by_o the_o answerer_n because_o they_o be_v he_o say_v as_o effectual_a for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o rome_n and_o true_o i_o be_o of_o his_o mind_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v her_o share_n in_o those_o favour_n as_o much_o as_o any_o particular_a church_n if_o she_o be_v as_o they_o be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o general_n for_o neither_o do_v they_o claim_v otherwise_o nor_o can_v the_o favour_n grant_v by_o

d●_n fferent_a faith_n from_o all_o or_o indeed_o any_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n that_o be_v no_o part_n herself_o for_o evident_o there_o be_v no_o pretend_v to_o the_o privilege_n of_o

those_o who_o resist_v the_o truth_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o his_o church_n draw_v their_o argument_n from_o implication_n and_o far_o fetch_v interpretation_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o

two_o particular_n mention_v draw_v argument_n from_o implication_n and_o deny_v plain_a word_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o out_o of_o the_o whole_a heap_n of_o controversy_n the_o answerer_n choose_v three_o in_o which_o they_o have_v he_o say_v plain_a and_o positive_a word_n on_o their_o side_n now_o it_o have_v be_v altogether_o as_o easy_a and_o as_o short_a to_o have_v produce_v those_o plain_a and_o positive_a word_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o as_o to_o have_v past_o his_o word_n that_o there_o be_v such_o beside_o that_o people_n love_v to_o see_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o plain_a thing_n may_v easy_o be_v see_v he_o be_v a_o party_n and_o even_o supreme_a power_n according_a to_o he_o must_v not_o judge_v in_o their_o own_o cause_n it_o rest_v then_o with_o he_o to_o show_v where_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o of_o what_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n say_v i_o or_o contrariwise_o for_o this_o be_v what_o people_n understand_v by_o plain_a and_o positive_a and_o all_o beside_o be_v implication_n and_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o confidence_n i_o affirm_v to_o he_o that_o who_o argue_v against_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n out_o of_o scripture_n argue_v always_o from_o implication_n though_o it_o be_v more_o than_o needs_o to_o justify_v his_o majesty_n assertion_n for_o if_o they_o draw_v their_o argument_n from_o implication_n at_o any_o time_n they_o draw_v argument_n from_o implication_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o he_o pitch_v upon_o a_o point_n wherein_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n seem_v plain_a and_o positive_a on_o our_o side_n and_o their_o sense_n to_o be_v from_o implication_n and_o far-fetched_a interpretation_n and_o allege_v what_o he_o have_v to_o say_v why_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o plain_a and_o positive_a as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o way_n of_o deny_v plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n but_o by_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v plain_a no_o christian_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o deny_v what_o scripture_n plain_o teach_v but_o who_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o believe_v what_o it_o teach_v deny_v that_o it_o teach_v contrary_a to_o he_o and_o for_o a_o pretence_n to_o deny_v that_o raise_v some_o mist_n or_o other_o to_o obscure_v the_o clearness_n of_o every_o text_n allege_v against_o he_o the_o answerer_n than_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o show_v that_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n by_o pretend_v that_o they_o be_v not_o plain_a not_o do_v not_o can_v his_o majesty_n mean_v they_o deny_v they_o otherwise_o who_o know_v very_o well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o no_o word_n be_v so_o plain_a but_o who_o will_v make_v it_o his_o business_n may_v find_v something_o to_o say_v against_o they_o this_o which_o the_o answerer_n allege_v be_v far_o from_o a_o secret_a to_o he_o in_o short_a the_o answerer_n will_v have_v they_o clear_v from_o argue_v from_o implication_n by_o say_v they_o have_v in_o three_o point_n plain_a word_n which_o he_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o produce_v and_o from_o deny_v plain_a word_n by_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v plain_a and_o this_o be_v all_o his_o answer_n what_o he_o say_v of_o implication_n in_o the_o pope_n bull_n might_n if_o he_o can_v show_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n build_v her_o faith_n on_o those_o implication_n be_v a_o argument_n against_o she_o but_o none_o for_o himself_o for_o paul_n be_v not_o a_o just_a the_o less_o a_o thief_n because_o peter_n be_v catch_v steal_v too_o but_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n argue_v from_o implication_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v not_o build_v their_o faith_n therefore_o other_o may_v build_v their_o faith_n upon_o implication_n seem_v to_o i_o but_o a_o odd_a argument_n the_o king_n conclusion_n be_v be_v there_o any_o other_o foundation_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n but_o that_o if_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n please_v he_o may_v call_v such_o of_o the_o clergy_n as_o he_o think_v fit_a for_o his_o turn_n at_o that_o time_n and_o turn_v
her_o word_n which_o he_o have_v falsify_v in_o this_o place_n be_v these_o i_o will_v never_o have_v change_v if_o i_o have_v think_v it_o possible_a to_o have_v save_v my_o soul_n otherwise_o he_o never_o misquote_v without_o design_n now_o by_o alter_v these_o word_n if_o i_o have_v think_v it_o possible_a to_o save_v my_o soul_n into_o these_o if_o i_o can_v have_v save_v my_o soul_n he_o will_v shuffle_v off_o her_o true_a meaning_n which_o be_v that_o her_o conscience_n oblige_v she_o to_o this_o change_n and_o that_o be_v a_o point_n he_o will_v not_o willing_o have_v touch_v for_o he_o can_v deny_v upon_o his_o own_o principle_n but_o that_o after_o have_v examine_v the_o scripture_n as_o she_o profess_v to_o have_v do_v as_o well_o as_o she_o be_v able_a concern_v the_o point_n in_o dispute_n and_o afterward_o use_v the_o assistance_n of_o her_o spiritual_a guide_n the_o two_o bishop_n she_o be_v to_o judge_v for_o herself_o in_o the_o last_o resort_n and_o the_o

therefore_o according_a to_o his_o principle_n and_o her_o conscience_n she_o be_v to_o be_v of_o that_o church_n of_o who_o truth_n she_o be_v thus_o convince_v so_o that_o whether_o she_o can_v be_v

that_o she_o can_v otherwise_o be_v save_v yet_o she_o have_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o her_o change_n though_o he_o say_v she_o have_v none_o which_o be_v her_o conscience_n and_o suppose_v that_o be_v erroneous_a yet_o upon_o his_o principle_n she_o must_v be_v the_o judge_n of_o it_o without_o appeal_n her_o scruple_n begin_v upon_o read_v dr._n heylin_n be_v history_n of_o the_o

then_o extant_a for_o no_o paint_n be_v capable_a of_o make_v lovely_a the_o hideous_a face_n of_o the_o pretend_a reformation_n but_o say_v he_o there_o be_v two_o distinct_a part_n in_o the_o history_n of_o it_o the_o one_o ecclesiastical_a the_o other_o political_a the_o first_o build_v on_o scripture_n antiquity_n and_o the_o right_n of_o particular_a church_n the_o other_o on_o such_o maxim_n as_o be_v common_a to_o statesman_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o church_n who_o labour_n to_o turn_v all_o revolution_n and_o change_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n but_o why_o may_v not_o her_o highness_n consider_v it_o her_o own_o way_n which_o be_v that_o of_o nature_n in_o the_o cause_n which_o produce_v it_o and_o the_o effect_n which_o it_o produce_v though_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o she_o consider_v it_o his_o way_n too_o because_o a_o child_n can_v not_o have_v miss_v it_o that_o very_a distinction_n be_v insert_v into_o the_o history_n by_o the_o author_n himself_o now_o the_o immediate_a cause_n which_o produce_v the_o separation_n of_o harry_n the_o eight_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o refusal_n of_o the_o pope_n to_o grant_v he_o a_o divorce_n from_o his_o first_o wife_n and_o to_o gratify_v his_o desire_n in_o a_o dispensation_n for_o a_o second_o marriage_n neither_o the_o answerer_n nor_o i_o nor_o any_o man_n can_v carry_v it_o so_o high_a as_o the_o original_a cause_n with_o any_o certainty_n for_o the_o king_n only_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v conscience_n and_o love_n or_o love_v alone_o which_o move_v he_o to_o sue_v for_o a_o divorce_n but_o this_o we_o may_v say_v that_o if_o conscience_n have_v any_o part_n in_o it_o she_o have_v take_v a_o long_a nap_n of_o almost_o twenty_o year_n together_o before_o she_o awaken_v

brutal_a passion_n can_v be_v deny_v to_o have_v have_v a_o great_a share_n at_o least_o in_o the_o production_n of_o that_o schism_n which_o lead_v the_o very_a way_n to_o our_o pretend_a reformation_n for_o break_v the_o unity_n of_o christ_n church_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o i_o pass_v over_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o first_o proceed_n and_o the_o degree_n by_o which_o they_o come_v to_o terminate_v in_o schism_n though_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o her_o highness_n be_v sufficient_o scandalize_v in_o both_o and_o can_v not_o also_o but_o observe_v some_o of_o the_o concomitant_a cause_n as_o revenge_n ambition_n and_o covetousness_n all_o which_o and_o other_o draw_v with_o a_o strong_a bias_n towards_o it_o but_o the_o immediate_a effect_n even_o of_o this_o
