doctrine_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v not_o the_o sole_a keeper_n of_o scripture_n may_v and_o do_v err_v in_o several_a point_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o do_v impose_v upon_o her_o child_n uncanonical_a book_n for_o scripture_n and_o false_a doctrine_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o conventicle_n of_o

i_o shall_v yet_o persist_v in_o my_o reflection_n upon_o the_o jew_n that_o i_o may_v show_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o scripture_n without_o forgery_n falsification_n and_o corruption_n be_v a_o thing_n distinct_a and_o separable_a from_o err_v &_o teach_v error_n the_o jew_n can_v be_v deny_v to_o have_v be_v good_a keeper_n of_o the_o book_n even_o then_o when_o they_o corrupt_v the_o religion_n enjoin_v by_o the_o law_n write_v in_o those_o book_n never_o yet_o be_v any_o man_n so_o weak_a as_o to_o conclude_v that_o the_o priest_n and_o rabbi_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v infallible_a judge_n of_o the_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o messiah_n even_o those_o who_o condemn_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o blasphemy_n and_o worthy_a of_o death_n because_o they_o keep_v the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v now_o less_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n which_o we_o evident_o see_v to_o teach_v doctrine_n and_o set_v up_o a_o worship_n as_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n as_o darkness_n be_v to_o light_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n of_o faith_n upon_o this_o account_n because_o the_o primitive_a roman_a church_n in_o communion_n with_o other_o church_n do_v hand_n down_o to_o posterity_n the_o holy_a scripture_n without_o any_o falsification_n since_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o this_o day_n do_v both_o accept_v and_o impose_v upon_o she_o own_o child_n and_o will_v but_o can_v upon_o other_o apocryphal_a book_n for_o canonical_a i_o have_v now_o show_v that_o these_o query_n be_v not_o unanswerable_a by_o protestant_n adhere_v to_o their_o own_o principle_n or_o axiom_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v the_o result_n of_o the_o whole_a design_n except_o you_o allow_v he_o at_o first_o that_o the_o roman-church_n be_v in_o propriety_n of_o speech_n the_o catholic_n church_n this_o disquisition_n can_v advance_v you_o not_o a_o hairs-breadth_n to_o a_o better_a opinion_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o a_o guide_n than_o you_o have_v before_o for_o after_o all_o the_o clamour_n make_v for_o resolution_n of_o these_o query_n concern_v the_o catholic_n church_n the_o main_a question_n stand_v as_o it_o do_v whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o this_o day_n be_v to_o be_v subject_v unto_o as_o a_o infallible_a guide_n and_o to_o be_v

you_o to_o desert_n the_o reform_a church_n of_o england_n for_o adhere_v to_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o roman_a church_n do_v that_o as_o well_o as_o the_o protestant_n as_o he_o say_v if_o this_o querist_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o infallibility_n and_o authority_n over_o you_o he_o will_v out_o of_o modesty_n allow_v you_o to_o examine_v whether_o papist_n do_v as_o well_o that_o be_v as_o full_o and_o firm_o adhere_v to_o the_o scripture_n as_o english_a protestant_n certain_o they_o do_v not_o well_o own_o they_o for_o a_o rule_n who_o accuse_v they_o of_o obscurity_n and_o imperfection_n and_o make_v it_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o defectiveness_n of_o scripture_n must_v be_v supply_v with_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o as_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o we_o who_o maintain_v the_o fullness_n of_o scripture_n in_o delivery_n of_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o the_o perspicuity_n in_o that_o delivery_n and_o therefore_o admit_v of_o no_o point_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n unto_o the_o scripture_n do_v more_o close_o stick_v to_o that_o rule_n than_o the_o papist_n but_o because_o you_o be_v free_a to_o examine_v the_o adherence_n of_o papist_n to_o the_o scripture_n in_o particular_n by_o comparison_n with_o the_o english_a protestant_n try_v whether_o a_o mangle_a
