be_v fallible_a so_o that_o at_o best_a how_o much_o soever_o you_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v take_v with_o your_o own_o fallacy_n your_o church_n can_v be_v prove_v but_o fallible_o to_o be_v infallible_a but_o second_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o gift_n and_o the_o power_n of_o work_a miracle_n you_o do_v it_o be_v true_a insist_v upon_o the_o gift_n but_o shall_v make_v it_o out_o that_o your_o church_n have_v power_n of_o work_a miracle_n if_o you_o will_v evince_v she_o christ-like_a to_o be_v infallible_a this_o be_v necessary_a that_o have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v prove_v his_o mission_n it_o be_v therefore_o somewhat_o loose_v argue_v for_o you_o to_o conclude_v the_o jew_n commit_v sin_n be_v hater_n of_o god_n for_o not_o believe_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n who_o do_v among_o they_o the_o work_n which_o no_o other_o man_n do_v viz._n wrought_v miracle_n by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o therefore_o christian_n commit_v sin_n show_v themselves_o hater_n of_o god_n in_o not_o believe_v the_o roman_a church_n to_o be_v infallible_a because_o she_o have_v the_o gift_n can_v do_v work_n howbeit_o none_o among_o we_o like_o other_o man_n viz._n work_v miracle_n in_o the_o name_n and_o power_n of_o another_o and_o hence_o three_o we_o deny_v god_n have_v decree_v any_o such_o a_o law_n as_o you_o tell_v of_o 11._o 1_o sam._n 10._o numb_a 11._o for_o though_o a_o authority_n to_o which_o god_n set_v his_o hand_n and_o seal_v by_o bestow_v on_o it_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n may_v be_v render_v thereby_o like_o that_o of_o saul_n and_o the_o seventy_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n more_o than_o ordinary_a venerable_a and_o whosoever_o refuse_v to_o believe_v and_o submit_v to_o a_o authority_n know_v
