to_o domineer_v over_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v only_o a_o draw_n from_o outward_a enforcement_n to_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n again_o it_o be_v not_o a_o rule_n over_o faith_n nor_o a_o base_a

this_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v they_o tyrannize_v over_o people_n conscience_n that_o equalise_v their_o own_o dotage_n though_o they_o account_v they_o witty_a device_n and_o their_o

all_o their_o foolery_n to_o gain_v authority_n under_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o carry_v all_o again_o you_o know_v they_o hold_v the_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a they_o hold_v the_o err_v judgement_n of_o the_o pope_n the_o man_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v infalible_a he_o can_v err_v and_o hereupon_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v it_o must_v bind_v conscience_n because_o he_o be_v in_o his_o chair_n and_o can_v err_v whatsoever_o he_o say_v be_v the_o scope_n of_o god_n word_n infallible_a and_o this_o be_v a_o fundamental_a error_n as_o we_o call_v it_o a_o first_o lie_n a_o lead_a lie_n this_o be_v move_v to_o error_n this_o be_v the_o mover_n that_o move_v all_o other_o error_n under_o it_o for_o where_o upon_o be_v all_o the_o abomination_n of_o popery_n justify_v they_o be_v justify_v by_o this_o though_o they_o seem_v ridiculous_a gross_a and_o blasphemous_a they_o come_v from_o the_o church_n and_o the_o church_n be_v

of_o this_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v it_o be_v the_o great_a reformation_n error_n of_o all_o and_o the_o prevention_n of_o all_o amendment_n on_o their_o side_n do_v you_o think_v that_o
