A45831	Rome is no rule, or, An answer to an epistle published by a Roman Catholic who stiles himself Cap. Robert Everard and may serve for an answer to two Popish treatises, the one entituled The question of questions, and the other Fiat lux, out of which books the arguments urged in the said epistle against the authority of the Scriptures and the infallibility of the Roman Church are collected : in which answer, the authority of the Scriptures is vindicated and the arguments for the Roman infallibility refuted / by J.I.

you_o say_v that_o if_o they_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o imperative_a mood_n they_o can_v work_v faith_n in_o those_o that_o can_v read_v but_o than_o it_o seem_v they_o may_v work_v faith_n in_o they_o that_o can_v read_v because_o as_o the_o rhemist_n say_v they_o can_v show_v both_o jew_n and_o heretic_n the_o truth_n if_o they_o search_v deep_o and_o diligent_o but_o second_o how_o can_v general_a councilsshew_n the_o truth_n and_o beget_v faith_n since_o if_o they_o be_v infallible_a every_o body_n can_v read_v their_o decree_n and_o canon_n if_o you_o say_v they_o understand_v those_o decree_n and_o canon_n by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o those_o that_o can_v read_v then_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n may_v a_o man_n that_o can_v read_v the_o scripture_n be_v guide_v by_o they_o 3_o you_o say_v that_o by_o those_o word_n search_v the_o scripture_n can_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v our_o judge_n and_o guide_v because_o than_o they_o will_v

follow_n since_o you_o say_v the_o church_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v a_o judge_n and_o a_o infallible_a guide_n but_o do_v their_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n till_o christ_n exclude_v christ_n from_o be_v a_o guide_n and_o do_v christ_n being_n a_o guide_n when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n exclude_v the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o be_v a_o guide_n when_o he_o leave_v the_o earth_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o follow_v not_o because_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o of_o they_o christ_n speak_v in_o the_o place_n under_o debate_n be_v a_o guide_n to_o instruct_v man_n into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o they_o shall_v exclude_v he_o his_o spirit_n or_o apostle_n from_o be_v guide_n but_o further_o it_o follow_v by_o the_o same_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n can_v not_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n because_o than_o they_o will_v have_v exclude_v christ_n and_o after_o he_o his_o apostle_n from_o be_v infallible_a guide_n i_o say_v it_o follow_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o if_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v infallible_a guide_n and_o judge_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o then_o they_o have_v exclude_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o be_v that_o infallible_a guide_n and_o judge_n which_o she_o pretend_v herself_o to_o be_v and_o thus_o you_o

man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a thorough_o furnish_v to_o all_o good_a work_n this_o text_n you_o say_v prove_v not_o what_o be_v intend_v viz._n that_o the_o scripture_n alone_o be_v the_o

to_o such_o a_o man_n as_o timothy_n who_o have_v faith_n already_o yet_o they_o can_v no_o way_n be_v profitable_a nor_o useful_a to_o one_o that_o have_v not_o faith_n or_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v not_o by_o read_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o guide_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o why_o do_v the_o rhemist_n say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o jew_n and_o heretic_n do_v not_o find_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o king_n lord_n life_n and_o saviour_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_o sure_o you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o jew_n and_o heretic_n be_v believer_n and_o you_o say_v they_o be_v no_o guide_n to_o unbeliever_n why_o then_o do_v the_o rhemist_n say_v christ_n reprehend_v they_o for_o not_o fearch_v the_o scripture_n deep_o to_o what_o purpose_n then_o be_v jew_n and_o heretic_n blame_v for_o not_o search_v the_o scripture_n deep_o if_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v as_o you_o say_v no_o way_n profitable_a to_o they_o but_o further_o you_o say_v they_o be_v not_o profitable_a to_o they_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n suppose_v this_o be_v grant_v which_o can_v be_v prove_v do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o your_o roman_a church_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v no_o way_n profitable_a no_o way_n a_o judge_n nor_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o any_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v she_o to_o be_v so_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o atheist_n may_v say_v all_o god_n providence_n be_v no_o monitor_n to_o he_o all_z his_o judgement_n be_v no_o example_n to_o he_o because_o cause_n he_o do_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n be_v not_o this_o as_o good_a logic_n as_o to_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v no_o way_n profitable_a to_o they_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o proceed_v to_o give_v another_o reason_n why_o this_o scripture_n 2_o tim._n 3.15_o be_v not_o a_o proof_n for_o what_o be_v pretend_v because_o then_o if_o the_o scripture_n more_o sole_o sufficient_a which_o timothy_n know_v from_o a_o child_n they_o be_v but_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o now_o testament_n and_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v at_o least_o not_o necessary_a i_o answer_v if_o by_o the_o scripture_n sole_a sufficiency_n you_o mean_v that_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n without_o faith_n repentance_n and_o obedience_n than_o this_o be_v a_o puppet_n of_o your_o own_o as_o you_o phrase_n it_o for_o where_o be_v there_o any_o protestant_n of_o that_o mind_n therefore_o you_o do_v but_o bark_v against_o the_o moon_n but_o we_o say_v they_o be_v sole_o sufficient_a to_o direct_v we_o to_o those_o way_n by_o which_o we_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n but_o then_o say_v you_o what_o need_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o the_o scripture_n timothy_n have_v learn_v which_o be_v those_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v sufficient_a but_o then_o i_o answer_v as_o before_o if_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v sole_o sufficient_a what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o your_o pope_n and_o council_n so_o that_o by_o this_o argument_n you_o either_o make_v christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n not_o sole_o sufficient_a or_o if_o they_o be_v then_o what_o need_v this_o waste_n of_o a_o general_n council_n but_o you_o may_v say_v that_o a_o general_n council_n be_v to_o direct_v people_n in_o succeed_a age_n so_o be_v the_o scripture_n much_o rather_o for_o whatever_o be_v write_v aforetime_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n upon_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n you_o say_v pag._n 15._o the_o word_n all_o scripture_n must_v either_o signify_v every_o scripture_n as_o the_o original_a word_n 〈◊〉_d ought_v to_o be_v render_v or_o all_o scripture_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o all_o scripture_n that_o be_v when_o this_o text_n be_v write_v or_o all_o that_o we_o now_o have_v if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o every_o scripture_n or_o any_o scripture_n than_o you_o say_v it_o do_v prove_v too_o much_o because_o then_o all_o the_o scripture_n save_o one_o book_n be_v useless_a though_o what_o have_v be_v say_v do_v sufficient_o answer_v this_o innumeration_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v be_v excuse_v from_o answer_v any_o far_o yet_o because_o you_o intimate_v a_o far_a proof_n of_o what_o you_o now_o urge_v i_o shall_v therefore_o when_o i_o meet_v with_o it_o give_v a_o further_a answer_n you_o come_v in_o the_o 16_o page_n to_o tell_v your_o reader_n that_o you_o meet_v with_o no_o argument_n for_o the_o sole_a sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n among_o those_o that_o be_v usual_o urge_v and_o therefore_o you_o resolve_v to_o see_v what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o this_o common_a general_n opinion_n of_o all_o who_o oppose_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n why_o the_o scripture_n can_v not_o be_v this_o rule_n and_o judge_n you_o say_v you_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o any_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o sole_a sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v

your_o negative_a position_n viz._n that_o the_o private_a spirit_n reason_n and_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o sole_a judge_n you_o come_v to_o infer_v from_o the_o whole_a that_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v this_o judge_n and_o that_o god_n have_v always_o such_o a_o church_n this_o you_o endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a by_o say_v god_n have_v such_o a_o church_n two_o thousand_o year_n before_o any_o scripture_n be_v write_v and_o to_o demonstrate_v this_o you_o say_v circumcision_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o abraham_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o church_n without_o scripture_n to_o try_v it_o by_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v first_o if_o the_o pope_n will_v bring_v in_o any_o new_a law_n or_o canon_n with_o that_o authority_n as_o abraham_n bring_v in_o circumcision_n we_o will_v believe_v he_o without_o a_o council_n or_o desire_v he_o to_o prove_v it_o by_o scripture_n but_o second_o it_o seem_v here_o be_v some_o other_o rule_n and_o guide_n beside_o reason_n scripture_n the_o private_a spirit_n and_o the_o church_n for_o here_o be_v no_o council_n to_o decree_v circumcision_n nor_o private_a spirit_n to_o suggest_v it_o nor_o reason_n to_o contrive_v it_o but_o here_o be_v god_n appear_v to_o abraham_n and_o command_v it_o by_o a_o immediate_a voice_n from_o heaven_n so_o that_o this_o be_v god_n way_n of_o guide_v his_o people_n then_o and_o not_o by_o general_a council_n and_o of_o this_o opinion_n be_v chrysostome_n hom._n 1._o in_o mat._n who_o conceive_v god_n may_v use_v other_o mean_n and_o this_o agree_v with_o that_o say_n heb._n 1.1_o god_n in_o sundry_a time_n and_o in_o diverse_a manner_n speak_v to_o our_o father_n by_o the_o prophet_n last_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v liable_a to_o many_o exception_n as_o you_o say_v by_o which_o they_o be_v render_v uncapable_a of_o be_v our_o infallible_a guide_n than_o i_o demand_v how_o you_o know_v what_o be_v transact_v in_o the_o world_n the_o first_o 2000_o year_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o church_n at_o all_o in_o those_o time_n if_o you_o say_v you_o be_v by_o the_o history_n of_o the_o scripture_n guide_v to_o believe_v what_o be_v do_v 2000_o year_n before_o the_o first_o penman_n be_v bear_v i_o demand_v how_o you_o can_v believe_v this_o since_o they_o be_v so_o fallible_o and_o subject_a to_o so_o many_o exception_n as_o you_o say_v but_o further_a may_v i_o not_o with_o more_o certitude_n believe_v what_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o penman_n of_o holy_a scripture_n write_v of_o thing_n they_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o than_o you_o can_v be_v of_o what_o

be_v so_o the_o jew_n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v a_o infallible_a guide_n after_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v and_o for_o this_o purpose_n you_o cite_v deut._n 17.8_o the_o man_n that_o will_v do_v

but_o how_o and_o by_o what_o rule_n be_v these_o priest_n to_o judge_v who_o the_o people_n be_v to_o obey_v upon_o pain_n of_o death_n ezekiel_n tell_v we_o chap._n 44.24_o and_o in_o controversy_n

as_o may_v err_v in_o judgement_n 3_o by_o the_o same_o parity_n of_o reason_n a_o single_a private_a man_n can_v err_v because_o the_o text_n say_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v hear_v if_o he_o admonish_v his_o brother_n of_o his_o fault_n ver_fw-la 15_o 16_o 17._o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o brother_n sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v he_o and_o the_o text_n further_o say_v if_o his_o brother_n do_v hear_v he_o that_o he_o have_v gain_v his_o brother_n but_o if_o this_o brother_n may_v err_v than_o he_o may_v err_v in_o admonish_v and_o the_o admonish_v person_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v gain_v to_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v gain_v to_o a_o error_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o your_o argument_n i_o be_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v may_v you_o not_o as_o logical_o infer_v that_o because_o i_o be_o to_o hear_v a_o single_a private_a brother_n therefore_o a_o single_a private_a brother_n can_v err_v and_o by_o this_o you_o will_v make_v all_o the_o son_n of_o your_o church_n infallible_a like_o the_o pope_n your_o father_n and_o by_o this_o rule_n parent_n be_v infallible_a because_o they_o must_v be_v hear_v by_o their_o child_n your_o next_o scripture_n be_v mat._n 28.20_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o joh._n 24.16_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o will_v send_v you_o another_o comforter_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v and_o ver_fw-la 26._o the_o comforter_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n into_o your_o remembrance_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o and_o chap._n 16.17_o i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v hear_v they_o now_o howbeit_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n from_o which_o you_o infer_v that_o if_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n shall_v be_v with_o his_o apostle_n for_o ever_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n it_o follow_v they_o shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o this_o text_n in_o st._n matthew_n can_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n for_o you_o because_o you_o say_v you_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a of_o st._n mathews_n gospel_n and_o can_v tell_v whether_o he_o that_o do_v translate_v it_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o no._n 2_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n may_v preserve_v the_o apostle_n from_o all_o error_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v engage_v to_o secure_v the_o church_n from_o err_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o 3_o i_o answer_v further_o if_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v lead_v the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n into_o all_o truth_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v lead_v they_o irresistable_o though_o it_o may_v lead_v they_o sufficient_o but_o 4._o may_v i_o not_o as_o well_o infer_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n that_o therefore_o all_o the_o world_n can_v be_v but_o effectual_o and_o irresistable_o convince_v as_o you_o may_v say_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n that_o therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v but_o must_v be_v effectual_o so_o lead_v 5_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v mean_v notorious_a and_o wicked_a man_n now_o than_o this_o spirit_n some_o of_o those_o pope_n which_o you_o call_v the_o apostle_n successor_n can_v not_o have_v because_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v notorious_o and_o confess_o wicked_a all_o which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v make_v to_o direct_v and_o guide_v we_o into_o a_o further_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n till_o we_o come_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o christ_n upon_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v faithful_a in_o what_o we_o already_o know_v like_o unto_o that_o promise_n joh._n 17.17_o if_o any_o man_n do_v his_o will_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v the_o rhemi●●_n testament_n translate_n that_o text_n of_o john_n 14.15_o 16._o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o comandement_n and_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o will_v give_v you_o another_o paraclete_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o now_o how_o can_v i_o be_v infallible_a that_o the_o pope_n be_v thus_o guide_v unless_o i_o do_v infallible_o know_v that_o he_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 6_o you_o say_v 〈◊〉_d into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n but_o this_o follow_v not_o not_o more_o then_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n goodness_n lead_v to_o repentance_n that_o therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o impenitency_n and_o last_o if_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o since_o your_o church_n as_o you_o say_v be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n into_o all_o truth_n that_o she_o do_v not_o preserve_v all_o her_o son_n from_o all_o error_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v see_v do_v guide_v they_o all_o sufficient_o though_o not_o efficient_o although_o that_o be_v false_a yet_o you_o have_v answer_v yourself_o for_o though_o god_n spirit_n and_o goodness_n be_v sufficient_a to_o lead_v to_o truth_n and_o repentance_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o there_o be_v as_o sad_a experience_n teach_v multitude_n of_o err_a and_o impenitent_a person_n your_o next_o text_n be_v ephes_n 4.11_o he_o give_v some_o prophet_n some_o evangelist_n some_o pastor_n and_o some_o teacher_n for_o perfect_v the_o saint_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o edify_a the_o body_n of_o christ_n till_o we_o come_v in_o the_o union_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o ver_fw-la 14._o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o child_n in_o understanding_n etc._n etc._n from_o which_o text_n you_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o church_n be_v to_o preserve_v people_n from_o be_v toss_v to_o and_o fro_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o what_o then_o do_v this_o prove_v the_o church_n can_v err_v this_o mean_n be_v use_v by_o god_n for_o the_o perfect_a of_o saint_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o imperfection_n thus_o god_n may_v teach_v and_o the_o church_n not_o learn_v god_n spirit_n may_v lead_v and_o the_o church_n like_a rome_n may_v be_v refractory_a your_o last_o text_n be_v 1_o tim._n 3.15_o the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o trust._n hence_o you_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v because_o we_o may_v secure_o rely_v upon_o she_o as_o upon_o a_o pillar_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o respect_v the_o universal_a church_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o but_o the_o particular_a church_n which_o timothy_n have_v the_o oversight_n of_o in_o which_o paul_n admonish_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v behave_v himself_o but_o 2._o if_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v here_o mean_v and_o not_o a_o particular_a church_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o prove_v nothing_o to_o your_o purpose_n because_o church_n and_o people_n receive_v their_o denomination_n ordinary_o from_o what_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o not_o from_o what_o they_o be_v by_o necessity_n thus_o the_o disciple_n be_v call_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o they_o be_v in_o duty_n to_o be_v so_o and_o not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v otherwise_o else_o it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o threaten_v they_o that_o if_o they_o lose_v their_o savour_n they_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o ground_n of_o in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o she_o may_v neglect_v and_o violate_v this_o duty_n and_o become_v the_o teacher_n of_o error_n but_o last_o the_o church_n may_v be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n not_o only_o because_o she_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o because_o in_o all_o age_n she_o be_v so_o in_o that_o she_o teach_v and_o maintain_v
