of_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o government_n bishop_n act_n not_o as_o representative_n but_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n by_o that_o authority_n which_o they_o

be_v the_o church-representative_a in_o define_v article_n of_o faith._n as_o bishop_n be_v the_o supreme_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n they_o may_v declare_v what_o the_o faith_n

anathema_n and_o excommunication_n and_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a thing_n for_o they_o to_o call_v this_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v only_o the_o decree_n and_o definition_n of_o some_o bishop_n in_o it_o who_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o this_o i_o think_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o the_o most_o general_a council_n that_o ever_o be_v may_v err_v and_o yet_o the_o catholic_n church_n not_o err_v for_o bishop_n be_v not_o the_o catholic_n church_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o the_o representative_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n can_v not_o err_v this_o will_v not_o prove_v the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n which_o be_v not_o the_o church_n for_o the_o faith_n may_v still_o be_v preserve_v pure_a and_o uncorrupt_a among_o private_a christian_n even_o when_o general_a council_n err_v 3_o i_o observe_v far_o that_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n on_o earth_n be_v not_o one_o organise_v body_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o whole_a company_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o no_o ecclesiastical_a minister_n or_o pastor_n belong_v to_o the_o definition_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o unless_o some_o ecumenical_a pastor_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n and_o definition_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n it_o can_v be_v one_o organise_v body_n the_o catholic_n church_n indeed_o be_v organise_v by_o part_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v distribute_v into_o particular_a body_n under_o the_o government_n of_o

that_o no_o organise_v church_n can_v be_v the_o catholic_n church_n nor_o the_o bishop_n of_o it_o a_o ecumenical_a pastor_n because_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o organise_v but_o every_o

the_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o subjection_n to_o he_o as_o a_o wife_n be_v subject_a to_o her_o husband_n the_o catholic_n
