that_o the_o supreme_a judicature_n or_o representative_a of_o their_o church_n the_o sanhedrim_n that_o have_v much_o more_o to_o show_v for_o its_o authority_n 14._o than_o a_o general_n council_n

be_v but_o a_o dormant_n privilege_n which_o pope_n can_v suspend_v at_o pleasure_n in_o the_o interval_n of_o council_n where_o be_v it_o must_v one_o go_v over_o europe_n and_o poll_v all_o the_o

that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o only_a ground_n on_o which_o we_o find_v our_o faith_n then_o if_o any_o person_n how_o much_o soever_o we_o may_v honour_v his_o memory_n on_o all_o other_o

that_o it_o be_v when_o the_o apostle_n first_o deliver_v it_o to_o the_o church_n nor_o be_v it_o the_o faith_n but_o the_o church_n that_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o if_o after_o a_o long_a night_n of_o darkness_n and_o corruption_n those_o that_o begin_v to_o see_v better_a do_v not_o at_o first_o discover_v every_o thing_n or_o if_o some_o of_o the_o prejudices_fw-la of_o

that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o immediate_o inspire_v of_o god_n which_o be_v never_o pretend_v 3._o great_a difference_n be_v to_o be_v make_v between_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o theological_a truth_n the_o former_a consist_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o ingredient_n of_o our_o baptismal_a vow_n and_o be_v indeed_o part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o the_o creed_n and_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o other_o be_v opinion_n relate_v to_o these_o which_o though_o they_o be_v found_v on_o scripture_n yet_o have_v not_o that_o influence_n either_o on_o our_o heart_n or_o life_n that_o they_o make_v we_o either_o much_o better_a or_o much_o worse_o among_o these_o we_o reckon_v the_o explanation_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n upon_o our_o wi_n if_o some_o of_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n among_o the_o protestant_n differ_v much_o in_o these_o matter_n that_o be_v not_o concern_v article_n of_o faith_n but_o theological_a truth_n in_o which_o great_a allowance_n be_v to_o be_v make_v for_o difference_n of_o opinion_n and_o as_o particular_a church_n ought_v not_o to_o proceed_v too_o hasty_o to_o decision_n in_o matter_n that_o be_v just_o

prosecution_n of_o those_o that_o differ_v in_o opinion_n be_v both_o disagree_v to_o the_o mildness_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o to_o the_o character_n of_o churchman_n and_o in_o particular_a to_o the_o principle_n upon_o which_o the_o reformation_n be_v found_v 4._o as_o for_o the_o greek_a church_n together_o with_o the_o other_o society_n in_o the_o east_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o many_o of_o those_o corruption_n for_o which_o we_o condemn_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v among_o they_o which_o only_o prove_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o be_v elder_a than_o the_o nine_o or_o ten_o century_n in_o which_o those_o church_n begin_v to_o divide_v such_o be_v the_o worship_v of_o image_n the_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o some_o other_o abuse_n 5._o to_o this_o it_o must_v be_v add_v that_o for_o diverse_a age_n the_o oppression_n under_o which_o those_o church_n have_v fall_v and_o the_o great_a ignorance_n that_o have_v overspread_v they_o have_v be●n_o such_o that_o no_o wonder_n if_o those_o greek_n that_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n and_o so_o be_v leaven_v with_o their_o opinion_n have_v find_v it_o no_o hard_a task_n to_o impose_v upon_o their_o weak_a and_o corrupt_a countryman_n whatsoever_o opinion_n they_o have_v in_o charge_n to_o infuse_v into_o they_o so_o that_o we_o may_v rather_o wonder_v to_o find_v that_o all_o those_o abuse_n for_o which_o we_o complain_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o among_o they_o than_o that_o some_o have_v get_v foot_v there_o 6._o but_o
