we_o see_v no_o ground_n why_o any_o one_o shall_v believe_v any_o 37._o doctrine_n with_o a_o steadfast_a and_o divine_a faith_n which_o be_v not_o bottom_v on_o the_o write_a word_n for_o than_o

be_v still_o the_o way_n of_o true_a represent_v xvi_o of_o council_n 1._o we_o be_v glad_a to_o find_v so_o good_a a_o resolution_n as_o seem_v 33._o to_o be_v express_v in_o these_o word_n viz._n that_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v nothing_o beside_o that_o which_o christ_n teach_v and_o his_o apostle_n and_o if_o any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o this_o shall_v be_v define_v and_o command_v to_o be_v believe_v even_o by_o ten_o thousand_o council_n he_o believe_v it_o damnable_a in_o any_o one_o to_o receive_v it_o and_o by_o such_o decree_n to_o make_v addition_n to_o his_o creed_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a say_v and_o it_o be_v pity_v any_o thing_n else_o shall_v overthrow_v it_o but_o here_o lie_v the_o misrepresent_v he_o will_v believe_v what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v from_o the_o definition_n of_o council_n and_o so_o all_o this_o goodly_a fabric_n fall_v to_o nothing_o for_o it_o be_v but_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v if_o aristotle_n

he_o will_v take_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o church_n and_o then_o he_o say_v if_o the_o church_n representative_a shall_v contradict_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n he_o will_v never_o

therefore_o can_v not_o deliver_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o our_o author_n require_v they_o to_o 33._o do_v xvii_o of_o infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n 1._o he_o do_v

do_v not_o reach_v the_o case_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o their_o church_n teach_v man_n to_o lie_v but_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n as_o

have_v a_o 41._o particular_a assistance_n promise_v he_o with_o a_o special_a regard_n to_o his_o office_n and_o function_n if_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o pope_n and_o council_n have_v

jacobatius_n bring_v several_a instance_n of_o this_o power_n in_o the_o pope_n and_o refer_v to_o the_o speculator_n for_o more_o jac._n almain_n say_v that_o all_o the_o canonist_n be_v of_o 13._o opinion_n that_o the_o pope_n may_v dispense_v against_o the_o apostle_n and_o many_o of_o their_o divine_n but_o not_o all_o for_o 2._o some_o of_o their_o divine_n hold_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o that_o imply_v a_o proper_a relaxation_n of_o the_o law_n but_o can_v only_o authoritative_o declare_v that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o oblige_v in_o such_o a_o particular_a case_n because_o a_o inferior_a can_v not_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o a_o superior_n law_n and_o otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v no_o fix_a and_o immutable_a rule_n in_o the_o church_n and_o if_o the_o pope_n may_v dispense_v in_o one_o law_n of_o god_n he_o may_v dispense_v in_o the_o rest_n and_o of_o this_o opinion_n be_v some_o of_o the_o most_o eminent_a school-divines_a as_o thomas_n aquinas_n 524._o bonaventure_n major_n soto_n and_o catbarinus_fw-la who_o at_o large_a debate_n this_o question_n and_o deny_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v any_o power_n to_o dispense_v with_o god_n law_n but_o then_o he_o add_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o prophetical_a power_n to_o declare_v in_o what_o case_n the_o law_n do_v oblige_v and_o in_o what_o not_o which_o he_o parallel_v with_o the_o power_n of_o declare_v the_o canon_n of_o scripture_n and_o this_o he_o do_v not_o by_o his_o own_o authority_n but_o by_o god_n he_o confess_v the_o pope_n can_v dispense_v with_o those_o precept_n which_o be_v of_o themselves_o indispensable_a nor_o alter_v the_o sacrament_n but_o then_o say_v he_o there_o be_v some_o divine_a law_n which_o have_v a_o general_a force_n but_o in_o particular_a case_n may_v be_v dispense_v with_o and_o in_o these_o case_n the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v relax_v so_o that_o the_o relaxation_n seem_v to_o come_v from_o god_n himself_o but_o he_o confess_v this_o power_n be_v not_o to_o be_v often_o make_v use_n of_o so_o that_o he_o make_v this_o power_n to_o be_v no_o act_n of_o jurisdiction_n but_o of_o prophetical_a interpretation_n as_o he_o call_v it_o and_o he_o bring_v the_o instance_n of_o caiaphas_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o he_o add_v that_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o divine_n and_o canonist_n be_v but_o in_o term_n for_o the_o canonist_n be_v in_o the_o right_a as_o to_o the_o power_n and_o the_o divine_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o explain_v it_o 3._o other_o have_v think_v this_o too_o loose_a a_o way_n of_o explain_v the_o pope_n power_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v not_o a_o bare_a declaratory_a power_n but_o a_o real_a power_n of_o dispense_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n in_o particular_a case_n for_o say_v they_o the_o other_o be_v no_o act_n of_o jurisdiction_n but_o of_o discretion_n and_o may_v belong_v to_o other_o man_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o pope_n but_o this_o they_o look_v on_o as_o more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o pope_n authority_n and_o commission_n and_o a_o bare_a declaratory_a power_n will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o church_n necessity_n as_o sanchez_n show_v at_o large_a and_o quote_v many_o author_n for_o this_o opinion_n and_o sayr_a more_o and_o he_o say_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v justify_v without_o it_o which_o suarez_n much_o insist_o upon_o and_o without_o it_o he_o 17._o say_v the_o church_n have_v fall_v into_o intolerable_a error_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o say_v the_o church_n have_v grant_v real_a dispensation_n and_o not_o mere_a declaration_n and_o he_o find_v it_o upon_o christ_n promise_n to_o peter_n to_o thou_o will_v i_o give_v the_o key_n and_o the_o charge_n to_o he_o feed_v my_o sheep_n but_o then_o he_o explain_v this_o opinion_n by_o say_v that_o it_o be_v no_o formal_a dispensation_n with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v change_v or_o take_v away_o thus_o i_o have_v bries_o lay_v together_o the_o different_a opinion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n about_o this_o power_n of_o dispense_n with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n from_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o they_o do_v all_o consent_n in_o the_o thing_n but_o differ_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o explain_v it_o and_o i_o be_o therefore_o afraid_a
