that_o of_o thing_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n there_o can_v be_v make_v up_o another_o thing_n of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a nature_n therefore_o all_o the_o member_n of_o which_o this_o

quick_o thither_o when_o they_o be_v sallen_v as_o be_v afraid_a to_o be_v wet_a or_o drown_v 5._o it_o be_v ridiculous_a for_o a_o papist_n to_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o infallibility_n of_o council_n from_o scripture_n for_o i_o ask_v he_o this_o question_n whence_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o that_o church_n be_v infallible_a who_o office_n it_o be_v both_o to_o make_v a_o rule_n or_o canon_n and_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o we_o leave_v depend_v upon_o the_o church_n now_o if_o the_o church_n give_v the_o scripture_n their_o authority_n as_o to_o we_o how_o can_v they_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v into_o what_o difficulty_n they_o involve_v themselves_o who_o place_n the_o church_n with_o its_o infallibility_n in_o the_o council_n nor_o be_v it_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o absurd_a to_o settle_v it_o in_o the_o pope_n alone_o a_o assertion_n so_o foolish_a and_o ridiculous_a that_o the_o very_o recite_v of_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a confutation_n namely_o to_o place_v the_o church_n in_o one_o man_n the_o church_n i_o say_v which_o even_o though_o representative_a be_v formal_o a_o congregation_n of_o many_o nevertheless_o we_o shall_v proceed_v in_o the_o method_n we_o have_v begin_v the_o jesuit_n do_v general_o hold_v this_o opinion_n and_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n alone_o like_o the_o pythia_n of_o delphos_n may_v frame_v decree_n and_o impose_v they_o upon_o the_o people_n but_o the_o forementioned_a difficulty_n return_v for_o how_o can_v you_o persuade_v yourself_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v popable_a that_o he_o be_v right_o if_o at_o all_o baptize_v that_o he_o obtain_v not_o the_o popedom_n by_o force_n by_o fraud_n or_o by_o simony_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n for_o we_o have_v a_o instance_n of_o a_o woman_n pope_n namely_o pope_n joan_n any_o of_o which_o be_v suppose_v render_v the_o pope_n no_o more_o a_o pope_n moreover_o how_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o the_o pope_n when_o he_o go_v about_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o decree_n neglect_v not_o the_o usual_a preparation_n namely_o fast_v and_o prayer_n for_o seven_o day_n etc._n etc._n that_o he_o act_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o conclave_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o private_a judgement_n or_o humour_n now_o if_o these_o condition_n be_v want_v the_o decree_n be_v not_o pronounce_v from_o the_o chair_n and_o therefore_o not_o infallible_a nor_o obligatory_a to_o the_o conscience_n further_o by_o what_o argument_n can_v you_o be_v convince_v that_o this_o infallibility_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o paris_n for_o example_n as_o much_o as_o to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v remove_v from_o the_o roman_a chair_n for_o gerson_n have_v write_v a_o treatise_n concern_v the_o possibility_n of_o remove_v it_o final_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v that_o one_o single_a man_n be_v infallible_a in_o matter_n of_o faith_n see_v he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o a_o infallible_a
