so_o great_a a_o penalty_n to_o thrust_v myself_o into_o such_o a_o action_n without_o sufficient_a warrant_n i_o shall_v not_o only_o condemn_v myself_o of_o rashness_n but_o incur_v offence_n against_o god_n in_o the_o 14._o to_o the_o roman_n 14.23_o rom._n 14.23_o what_o every_o man_n do_v doubt_o be_v sin_n to_o he_o that_o do_v it_o quod_fw-la dubitas_fw-la ne_fw-la feceris_fw-la a_o great_a matter_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n a_o great_a than_o this_o can_v be_v under_o the_o sun_n i_o desire_v therefore_o some_o clear_a warrant_n for_o my_o resolution_n the_o first_o testimony_n that_o be_v offer_v be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o she_o tell_v we_o that_o she_o alone_o be_v the_o true_a catholic_a church_n out_o of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o will_v be_v save_v must_v be_v reconcile_v to_o she_o this_o we_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v so_o and_o have_v so_o say_v a_o long_a time_n 2_o the_o next_o quaere_fw-la be_v then_o whether_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o case_n concern_v herself_o be_v sufficient_a go_v up_o as_o high_a as_o they_o will_v so_o long_o as_o she_o have_v make_v this_o challenge_n i_o demand_v whether_o her_o testimony_n be_v sufficient_a i_o answer_v out_o of_o doubt_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o five_o of_o john_n vers_fw-la 31._o if_o christ_n shall_v bear_v witness_n of_o himself_o 5.31_o job._n 5.31_o his_o witness_n be_v not_o true_a that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a though_o after_o chap._n 8.14_o he_o profess_v that_o though_o he_o shall_v bear_v witness_n of_o himself_o yet_o his_o witness_n be_v true_a because_o ver_fw-la 16._o i_o be_o not_o

indifferent_a term_n i_o hope_v then_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n concern_v himself_o be_v as_o sufficient_a in_o itself_o and_o to_o the_o jew_n as_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v be_v either_o in_o itself_o or_o unto_o us._n let_v it_o not_o therefore_o seem_v unreasonable_a if_o beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n we_o desire_v further_a evidence_n for_o here_o she_o stand_v for_o herself_o against_o all_o church_n in_o christendom_n 3_o other_o testimony_n beside_o the_o church_n and_o scripture_n they_o pretend_v none_o for_o tradition_n be_v refer_v to_o the_o church_n and_o the_o creed_n to_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o scripture_n then_o of_o necessity_n she_o must_v come_v in_o this_o point_n 4_o our_o next_o demand_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v express_o there_o or_o draw_v out_o by_o tract_n of_o consequent_a mention_v it_o be_v not_o neither_o in_o the_o original_n nor_o in_o the_o vulgar_a nor_o in_o the_o rhemish_n nor_o in_o any_o of_o their_o own_o translation_n 5_o if_o by_o consequent_a it_o be_v extract_v my_o next_o quaere_fw-la be_v whether_o i_o be_o bind_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o believe_v every_o point_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v out_o of_o scripture_n by_o consequence_n of_o argument_n we_o stumble_v not_o at_o immediate_a consequent_n as_o such_o as_o these_o the_o trinity_n be_v not_o name_v in_o so_o many_o letter_n but_o the_o scripture_n impli_v every_o person_n to_o be_v god_n in_o several_a place_n and_o elsewhere_o aver_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n this_o be_v easy_o put_v together_o but_o be_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o by_o long_a tract_n of_o consequent_a may_v be_v gather_v then_o none_o but_o great_a wit_n can_v be_v save_v our_o weak_a understanding_n be_v not_o able_a to_o fetch_v every_o conclusion_n from_o the_o right_a ground_n hence_o let_v we_o make_v three_o degree_n of_o divine_a position_n 1_o some_o be_v article_n as_o

opinion_n and_o problem_n of_o divinity_n as_o that_o angel_n do_v more_o solemn_o attend_v in_o person_n at_o holy_a exercise_n that_o saint_n shall_v have_v some_o personal_a knowledge_n one_o of_o
