the_o scripture_n when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o have_v seem_v good_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o who_o deny_v it_o we_o have_v too_o great_a a_o veneration_n for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o

universal_o practise_v by_o the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n and_o we_o will_v ready_o admit_v and_o embrace_v it_o we_o will_v acquiesce_v in_o it_o and_o seek_v no_o far_o thus_o far_o do_v we_o

consist_v in_o the_o letter_n and_o word_n but_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n and_o if_o so_o than_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o scripture_n antecedent_n to_o the_o church_n interpretation_n of_o they_o but_o he_o go_v on_o to_o the_o end_n say_v he_o that_o because_o holy_a writ_n can_v deceive_v whosoever_o be_v afraid_a of_o be_v deceive_v by_o the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o question_n may_v consult_v the_o church_n concern_v it_o which_o without_o leave_v room_n to_o doubt_n the_o holy_a scripture_n demonstrate_v and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o remark_n i._o that_o according_a to_o st._n austin_n holy_a writ_n be_v the_o only_a infallible_a rule_n to_o judge_v by_o for_o it_o can_v deceive_v ii_o that_o by_o this_o rule_n we_o be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n for_o without_o any_o ambiguity_n or_o leave_v room_n to_o doubt_n it_o plain_o demonstrate_v it_o to_o we_o iii_o that_o have_v by_o this_o mean_v find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n we_o ought_v in_o all_o question_n which_o be_v too_o hard_a and_o difficult_a for_o we_o to_o consult_v she_o about_o they_o all_o which_o we_o ready_o agree_v to_o now_o let_v the_o vindicator_n once_o more_o put_v on_o his_o spectacle_n and_o serious_o review_v this_o place_n of_o st._n austin_n and_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o himself_o or_o any_o man_n of_o sense_n whether_o it_o do_v not_o direct_o conclude_v against_o this_o article_n which_o he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v by_o it_o but_o perhaps_o he_o may_v have_v better_a luck_n with_o his_o next_o

lest_o in_o refuse_v we_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o seem_v obstinate_o to_o withstand_v he_o as_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n by_o who_o testimony_n he_o be_v recommend_v to_o we_o who_o doubt_v of_o all_o this_o if_o it_o have_v please_v our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o have_v give_v such_o testimony_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o any_o other_o church_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v doubt_v to_o follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o that_o church_n and_o when_o they_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v do_v so_o we_o shall_v without_o any_o the_o least_o scruple_n submit_v to_o it_o but_o st._n austin_n go_v on_o christ_n have_v give_v testimony_n of_o his_o church_n true_a but_o where_o be_v it_o not_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o if_o so_o than_o we_o must_v understand_v they_o before_o we_o can_v be_v satisfy_v concern_v this_o testimony_n and_o as_o this_o church_n direct_v you_o ought_v with_o all_o readiness_n obey_v right_o but_o first_o we_o must_v know_v which_o be_v this_o church_n and_o that_o according_a to_o st._n austin_n we_o can_v do_v but_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o it_o be_v not_o to_o i_o you_o be_v disobedient_a or_o any_o man_n but_o most_o perverse_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n you_o withstand_v christ_n himself_o because_o you_o refuse_v to_o follow_v the_o church_n which_o be_v recommend_v by_o his_o authority_n who_o you_o judge_v it_o a_o wickedness_n to_o resist_v all_o this_o we_o can_v ready_o subscribe_v to_o for_o when_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o have_v once_o find_v out_o which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n we_o ought_v with_o all_o readiness_n to_o yield_v obedience_n thereunto_o because_o it_o be_v recommend_v to_o we_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o to_o resist_v in_o any_o thing_n we_o account_v a_o great_a wickedness_n but_o where_o shall_v we_o meet_v with_o this_o authoritative_a recommendation_n except_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o that_o still_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o scripture_n before_o we_o can_v know_v which_o be_v that_o church_n that_o be_v recommend_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n and_o now_o pray_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o article_n that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o admit_v scripture_n to_o be_v scripture_n but_o according_a to_o that_o sense_n which_o she_o give_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o while_n we_o can_v according_a to_o st._n austin_n know_v the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o scripture_n i_o do_v also_o profess_v that_o there_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o seven_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a law_n institute_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o necessary_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n though_o all_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o every_o one_o to_o wit_n baptism_n confirmation_n eucharist_n penance_n extreme_a unction_n order_n and_o matrimony_n that_o they_o confer_v grace_n and_o that_o three_o of_o they_o baptism_n confirmation_n and_o order_n can_v be_v reiterated_a without_o sacrilege_n here_o the_o vindicator_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n no_o where_o assign_v the_o number_n of_o the_o sacrament_n either_o of_o their_o be_v two_o or_o seven_o neither_o do_v it_o give_v we_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o the_o word_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o name_v in_o the_o english_a translation_n and_o only_o once_o in_o the_o vulgar_a viz._n ephes_n v._o 32._o speak_v of_o matrimony_n all_o that_o we_o believe_v therefore_o in_o this_o point_n we_o receive_v from_o the_o church_n as_o it_o have_v be_v deliver_v found_v upon_o the_o

will_v be_v necessary_a to_o state_n the_o notion_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o to_o agree_v what_o it_o be_v before_o we_o dispute_v how_o many_o of_o they_o there_o be_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o
