we_o must_v rely_v upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o her_o pastor_n there_o be_v more_o pastor_n in_o the_o church_n than_o the_o pope_n though_o he_o be_v grant_v first_o he_o be_v not_o all_o there_o be_v more_o church_n than_o his_o church_n what_o have_v pope_n vrban_n one_o man_n to_o do_v with_o pastor_n with_o the_o church_n but_o that_o which_o we_o know_v well_o enough_o by_o pastor_n and_o church_n in_o conclusion_n you_o mean_v the_o pope_n i_o can_v interpret_v saint_n anselm_n well_o enough_o as_o that_o if_o a_o controversy_n be_v refer_v by_o the_o church_n or_o a_o heresy_n to_o be_v correct_v in_o the_o church_n which_o touch_v the_o case_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n it_o can_v not_o be_v put_v over_o more_o fit_o to_o any_o one_o man_n by_o the_o church_n representative_a in_o a_o council_n then_o unto_o the_o pope_n first_o bishop_n of_o christendom_n of_o great_a not_o absolute_a power_n among_o bishop_n but_o i_o know_v your_o saint_n anselm_n well_o enough_o this_o be_v not_o his_o meaning_n he_o be_v partial_a post_fw-la natus_fw-la not_o fit_a to_o speak_v in_o this_o cause_n nor_o among_o the_o father_n a_o great_a bishop_n i_o

with_o which_o your_o hostess_n use_v to_o stop_v her_o bottle_n but_o agree_v as_o you_o can_v you_o and_o your_o hostess_n we_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o proposition_n iii_o that_o apostolical_a

as_o the_o word_n be_v ambiguous_a of_o two_o signification_n there_o be_v tradition_n write_v improper_o so_o call_v and_o there_o be_v tradition_n unwritten_a deliver_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n the_o name_n be_v sometime_o apply_v to_o the_o one_o and_o sometime_o attribute_v to_o the_o other_o you_o mean_v not_o here_o tradition_n write_v i_o know_v it_o no_o more_o do_v we_o we_o agree_v to_o take_v it_o of_o unwritten_a tradition_n in_o opposition_n unto_o scripture_n as_o where_o tertullian_n speak_v in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr coronâ_fw-la militis_fw-la thus_o scripturam_fw-la

be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v write_v but_o because_o it_o come_v from_o god_n tradition_n of_o the_o church_n have_v such_o authority_n as_o the_o church_n have_v all_o bind_v and_o oblige_v as_o they_o be_v intend_v and_o as_o their_o extent_n be_v for_o they_o must_v be_v consider_v not_o only_o from_o the_o author_n but_o from_o the_o end_n some_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v permanent_a other_o only_o to_o be_v transient_a for_o a_o time_n only_o or_o else_o for_o ever_o some_o universal_a some_o only_a partial_a for_o the_o catholic_a or_o else_o a_o private_a church_n such_o variety_n and_o difference_n be_v in_o tradition_n which_o this_o hudler_fw-ge confound_v to_o deceive_v his_o novice_n with_o indistinction_n now_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v

man_n the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o what_o authority_n they_o be_v we_o grant_v their_o authority_n be_v from_o and_o as_o the_o author_n but_o the_o question_n be_v of_o their_o credit_n and_o

time_n whether_o to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o scripture_n not_o else_o sufficient_a for_o the_o end_n this_o we_o deny_v for_o it_o be_v our_o position_n that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n without_o unwritten_a tradition_n be_v perfect_a and_o absolute_a and_o sufficient_a for_o the_o end_n whereto_o it_o be_v intend_v to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n absolute_a in_o every_o good_a
