the_o definition_n of_o a_o council_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v several_a thing_n first_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a prejudice_n to_o the_o roman_a cause_n that_o they_o account_v blind_a obedience_n to_o the_o church_n a_o duty_n this_o dark_a lantern_n that_o none_o shall_v see_v they_o but_o their_o own_o man_n breed_v great_a suspicion_n the_o roman_a can_v persuade_v the_o arrian_n to_o rest_v in_o a_o council_n and_o therefore_o a_o council_n will_v not_o make_v a_o end_n with_o all_o of_o all_o controversy_n three_o if_o the_o arrian_n be_v to_o rest_v in_o a_o council_n he_o will_v say_v the_o council_n of_o ariminum_n be_v as_o considerable_a to_o he_o as_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a to_o the_o homorsiast_n four_o general_a council_n for_o the_o pure_a time_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o celebrate_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o the_o universal_a way_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o absolute_a determinative_a of_o faith_n five_o we_o have_v no_o prejudice_n against_o the_o four_o general_a council_n we_o embrace_v they_o and_o they_o make_v no_o prejudice_n against_o we_o therefore_o if_o we_o hold_v as_o they_o hold_v points_z of_o faith_n we_o be_v as_o saveable_a as_o they_o six_o the_o plain_a council_n they_o have_v for_o they_o be_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o yet_o the_o popish_a collier_n can_v acquiesce_v in_o that_o because_o although_o they_o say_v it_o be_v yet_o he_o may_v doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v a_o free_a general_n council_n and_o i_o hope_v since_o my_o adversary_n say_v we_o must_v take_v infallibility_n from_o the_o general_n council_n we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o examine_v whether_o that_o be_v a_o free_a general_n council_n and_o here_o we_o must_v contradistinguish_v the_o church_n unto_o the_o council_n and_o we_o must_v not_o believe_v the_o council_n for_o the_o church_n for_o then_o the_o infallibility_n will_v lie_v in_o the_o church_n not_o in_o the_o council_n well_o and_o must_v we_o take_v the_o
