Robert Everard and may serve for an answer to two Popish treatises, the one entituled The question of questions, and the other Fiat lux, out of which books the arguments urged in the said epistle against the authority of the Scriptures and the infallibility of the Roman Church are collected : in which answer, the authority of the Scriptures is vindicated and the arguments for the Roman infallibility refuted / by J.I.

these_o promise_n to_o the_o church_n be_v make_v upon_o condition_n like_o that_o promise_n ezekiel_n 36.27_o i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o statute_n here_o to_o use_v your_o own_o word_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n promise_v to_o preserve_v they_o from_o error_n but_o this_o be_v not_o absolute_o promise_v without_o condition_n for_o the_o 37_o ver_fw-la say_v for_o all_o this_o he_o will_v be_v inquire_v of_o they_o and_o to_o this_o agree_v those_o text_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n act._n 5.32_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o luke_n 11.13_o my_o heavenly_a father_n shall_v give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o by_o all_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n do_v not_o promise_v to_o guide_v the_o church_n absolute_o and_o irresistable_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o but_o upon_o their_o faithful_a adhere_n to_o what_o they_o

that_o fool_n shall_v not_o err_v therein_o which_o be_v a_o text_n so_o much_o insist_v on_o by_o you_o i_o demand_v whether_o this_o text_n do_v imply_v a_o impossibility_n of_o err_v if_o so_o than_o we_o may_v as_o well_o go_v to_o a_o fool_n to_o be_v guide_v as_o to_o a_o pope_n because_o it_o say_v the_o waver_a man_n though_o fool_n shall_v not_o err_v therein_o so_o that_o this_o text_n as_o true_o conclude_v infallibility_n in_o any_o body_n as_o in_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o council_n but_o 5._o to_o speak_v somewhat_o in_o particular_a to_o that_o text_n esay_n 59.21_o as_o for_o i_o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n with_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o spirit_n that_o be_v upon_o thou_o and_o my_o word_n which_o i_o have_v put_v in_o thy_o mouth_n shall_v not_o depart_v out_o of_o thy_o mouth_n nor_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o seed_n nor_o but_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o seed_n seed_n from_o heneforth_o and_o forever_o to_o this_o text_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n be_v rather_o a_o charge_n that_o god_n word_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o they_o and_o their_o seed_n than_o a_o promise_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o mr._n calvin_n who_o you_o sometime_o produce_v upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n grant_v that_o the_o word_n will_v bear_v a_o imperative_a construction_n god_n require_v they_o thereby_o not_o to_o quench_v his_o spirit_n which_o he_o put_v into_o they_o nor_o forsake_v his_o word_n which_o he_o shall_v teach_v they_o so_o that_o as_o the_o covenant_n on_o his_o part_n to_o give_v they_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n so_o he_o require_v on_o their_o part_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o resist_v nor_o quench_v it_o and_o to_o this_o agree_v junius_n and_o therefore_o he_o translate_v those_o word_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o verse_n as_o for_o i_o de_fw-fr me_fw-it autem_fw-la i._n e._n but_o as_o much_o as_o concern_v i_o thereby_o show_v that_o as_o god_n have_v concern_v himself_o in_o put_v his_o word_n and_o spirit_n into_o they_o so_o they_o be_v concern_v to_o see_v that_o it_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o unless_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o church_n here_o prophesy_v of_o and_o also_o that_o these_o text_n be_v not_o understand_v conditional_o and_o if_o conditional_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v observe_v these_o condition_n you_o have_v but_o beat_v the_o air_n in_o the_o citation_n of_o they_o you_o proceed_v to_o a_o four_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o infallible_a church_n from_o several_a text_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o first_o be_v mat._n 16.19_o upon_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a of_o st._n mathews_n gospel_n as_o you_o confess_v and_o therefore_o you_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o text_n be_v so_o in_o the_o original_a and_o this_o further_a appear_v because_o you_o say_v pag._n 20._o that_o you_o can_v tell_v whether_o he_o that_o translate_v it_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o not_o but_o 2._o the_o word_n upon_o which_o this_o controversy_n depend_v viz._n the_o rock_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v a_o metaphorical_a expression_n from_o whence_o logical_o you_o can_v infer_v your_o conclusion_n 3._o no_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n now_o to_o interpret_v the_o prevail_a of_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n for_o the_o prevail_a of_o error_n be_v a_o private_a interpretation_n first_o because_o error_n and_o heresy_n be_v never_o so_o call_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n 2._o because_o sheol_n which_o the_o greek_a translate_v haiden_n or_o haide_n and_o we_o in_o english_a hell_n be_v frequent_o take_v for_o the_o grave_a and_o of_o this_o mind_n be_v chrysostom_n who_o paraphrase_v upon_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n say_v if_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n much_o more_o shall_v they_o not_o prevail_v against_o christ_n therefore_o be_v not_o trouble_v when_o thou_o shall_v hear_v that_o i_o be_o betray_v and_o crucify_v by_o which_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o this_o author_n understand_v by_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n prevail_v that_o death_n and_o the_o grave_n shall_v neither_o prevail_v over_o christ_n nor_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o understand_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v a_o promise_n the_o church_n shall_v not_o err_v and_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v understand_v for_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o grave_a see_v esay_n 38.10_o hezekiah_n say_v when_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n come_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o gate_n of_o sheol_n i._n e._n grave_a so_o job_n 38.17_o psal_n 9.13_o psal_n 107.18_o 4_o again_o as_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n can_v be_v understand_v for_o error_n so_o the_o rock_n here_o speak_v of_o can_v be_v understand_v for_o peter_n person_n because_o it_o be_v more_o agree_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n be_v compare_v with_o other_o scripture_n and_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v it_o of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o rock_n of_o age_n and_o the_o chief_a cornerstone_n ephes_n 2.20_o and_o 1_o cor._n 10.4_o they_o drink_v of_o that_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n so_o that_o peter_n have_v profess_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n our_o lord_n tell_v he_o that_o upon_o this_o rock_n or_o christ_n who_o he_o have_v make_v profession_n of_o he_o will_v build_v his_o church_n and_o that_o though_o he_o may_v be_v put_v to_o death_n to_o use_v the_o word_n of_o chrysostome_n yet_o peter_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_v because_o death_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o he_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o he_o who_o will_v swallow_v up_o death_n in_o victory_n but_o last_o what_o if_o we_o pity_v the_o poor_a and_o grant_v you_o that_o which_o you_o be_v never_o able_a to_o prove_v viz._n that_o by_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n not_o prevail_v shall_v be_v understand_v that_o error_n and_o heresy_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o none_o that_o believe_v can_v sin_v because_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o saint_n to_o die_v because_o christ_n have_v promise_v they_o the_o victory_n over_o death_n as_o say_v that_o because_o christ_n have_v promise_v error_n shall_v not_o

follow_v from_o your_o former_a argument_n that_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n can_v not_o err_v because_o christ_n command_v to_o hear_v they_o but_o 2_o this_o text_n prove_v more_o than_o you_o
