that_o politic_a cardinal_n observation_n and_o you_o viz._n 1._o that_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v better_a maintain_v by_o the_o sword_n then_o by_o a_o reformation_n of_o error_n and_o corruption_n 2._o that_o to_o acknowledge_v no_o error_n but_o to_o stand_v upon_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o compendious_a way_n to_o cut_v off_o all_o complaint_n and_o objection_n against_o she_o but_o while_o your_o doctor_n say_v your_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v err_v we_o know_v she_o do_v err_v and_o that_o damnable_o and_o hereof_o we_o shall_v make_v a_o demonstration_n from_o the_o effect_n and_o overthrow_v her_o pretension_n to_o infallibility_n by_o thew_v how_o in_o many_o particular_n of_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n she_o have_v miscarry_v which_o be_v the_o design_n of_o this_o present_a conference_n and_o by_o god_n help_n and_o your_o permission_n i_o will_v proceed_v to_o other_o article_n and_o point_n of_o difference_n between_o our_o church_n and_o you_o and_o let_v the_o world_n judge_v upon_o which_o side_n the_o word_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n determine_v phil._n you_o carve_v out_o work_v more_o than_o sufficient_a however_o at_o present_a it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o intermit_v these_o severity_n of_o discourse_n and_o think_v of_o take_v some_o recreation_n a_o pleasant_a walk_n into_o the_o grove_n will_v refresh_v we_o and_o then_o to_o make_v amends_o for_o your_o poor_a entertainment_n after_o we_o have_v pass_v the_o evening_n in_o familiarity_n and_o friendship_n you_o shall_v take_v your_o rest_n and_o if_o you_o please_v to_o morrow_n we_o will_v enter_v again_o the_o list_n of_o disputation_n the_o three_o part_n of_o worship_v image_n theoph._n sir_n i_o have_v find_v so_o much_o courtesy_n within_o door_n that_o now_o we_o be_v come_v abroad_o to_o continue_v a_o discourse_n of_o controversy_n methinks_v it_o be_v not_o manner_n and_o civility_n to_o oppose_v your_o choice_n and_o judgement_n and_o try_v your_o patience_n who_o have_v give_v such_o demonstration_n of_o your_o goodness_n but_o when_o all_o proceed_v from_o a_o zeal_n to_o truth_n and_o from_o a_o cordial_a affection_n to_o so_o worthy_a a_o friend_n and_o you_o have_v charity_n to_o believe_v it_o i_o be_o encourage_v to_o proceed_v have_v therefore_o discuss_v already_o two_o point_n i_o propose_v the_o three_o to_o consideration_n the_o great_a scandal_n that_o be_v give_v by_o your_o church_n of_o rome_n unto_o sober_a man_n and_o good_a christian_n from_o image_n and_o their_o worship_n so_o much_o plead_v for_o and_o defend_v by_o your_o doctor_n phil._n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o three_o objection_n which_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o conference_n you_o propose_v against_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n which_o you_o suppose_v have_v give_v occasion_n of_o scandal_n both_o to_o the_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a as_o be_v obvious_a as_o you_o say_v unto_o every_o understanding_n but_o where_o lie_v the_o apparent_a exception_n against_o this_o point_n theoph._n the_o second_o commandment_n appear_v at_o first_o sight_n to_o forbid_v worship_v of_o image_n and_o you_o allow_v it_o phil._n so_o you_o make_v your_o delude_a people_n to_o believe_v design_v to_o create_v a_o prejudice_n and_o odium_fw-la against_o our_o church_n that_o so_o you_o may_v keep_v they_o firm_a to_o your_o heady_a separation_n from_o we_o but_o your_o learned_a know_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o we_o do_v not_o transgress_v this_o commandment_n neither_o in_o the_o thing_n forbid_v or_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_v our_o image_n which_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o prohibition_n of_o god_n law_n theoph._n you_o appeal_v to_o the_o learned_a of_o our_o side_n as_o though_o you_o will_v allow_v they_o to_o decide_v the_o controversy_n if_o they_o will_v speak_v the_o dictate_v of_o their_o conscience_n but_o this_o be_v a_o sleight_n and_o artifice_n to_o wipe_v off_o your_o own_o guilt_n and_o lay_v the_o charge_n of_o dissimulation_n to_o our_o doctor_n but_o their_o ground_n and_o reason_n when_o produce_v will_v manifest_v to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o charge_n they_o lie_v against_o they_o of_o transgress_v the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n in_o this_o point_n proceed_v out_o of_o conscience_n and_o not_o design_n you_o give_v a_o great_a scandal_n and_o offence_n to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o will_v not_o have_v we_o zealous_a to_o reprove_v it_o phil._n zeal_n without_o knowledge_n and_o discretion_n have_v set_v the_o world_n in_o a_o flame_n and_o you_o be_v forward_o to_o blow_v the_o coal_n theoph._n we_o read_v isa_n 6._o 7._o how_o a_o seraphim_n take_v a_o coal_n from_o the_o altar_n and_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o prophet_n mouth_n and_o so_o give_v he_o commission_n and_o command_n to_o speak_v now_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v this_o coal_n from_o

will_v in_o short_a time_n pretend_v to_o euthusiasm_n when_o we_o have_v beat_v you_o off_o from_o your_o strong_a hold_n your_o suppose_a sanctuary_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o must_v be_v your_o last_o refuge_n theoph._n your_o father_n and_o founder_n of_o the_o several_a order_n have_v show_v the_o way_n and_o act_v the_o phanatic_a part_n so_o well_o that_o you_o presume_v we_o must_v needs_o be_v take_v with_o it_o and_o herein_o become_v their_o disciple_n but_o if_o it_o be_v enthusiasm_n to_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o show_v how_o palpable_o you_o do_v swerve_v from_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v ambitious_a of_o that_o reproach_n phil._n it_o be_v a_o ill_a omen_n to_o engage_v in_o quarrel_n and_o bitter_a reproach_n before_o one_o argument_n have_v pass_v between_o we_o if_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o object_n against_o our_o doctrine_n or_o our_o practice_n concern_v image_n and_o their_o worship_n let_v we_o hear_v it_o theoph._n god_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n have_v forbid_v we_o to_o make_v and_o worship_n image_n and_o your_o church_n have_v mighty_o advance_v the_o trade_n of_o paint_v and_o carve_v and_o grave_v image_n and_o require_v veneration_n and_o worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o they_o phil._n let_v we_o proceed_v by_o degree_n to_o answer_v your_o objection_n which_o consist_v of_o many_o part_n do_v you_o condemn_v we_o for_o allow_v and_o countenance_v the_o art_n of_o imagery_n theoph._n if_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o want_v the_o authority_n of_o some_o ancient_n so_o severe_o do_v they_o

that_o moses_n shall_v make_v a_o image_n of_o the_o cherubin_n and_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n do_v then_o follow_v moses_n example_n make_v no_o image_n against_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n unless_o the_o lord_n express_o command_v thou_o and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n you_o may_v observe_v how_o in_o this_o place_n tertullian_n and_o i_o can_v show_v the_o like_a of_o many_o of_o the_o
