so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o as_o visible_a as_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o print_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v that_o one_o church_n which_o christ_n leave_v upon_o earth_n and_o this_o principle_n be_v remove_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v since_o it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v we_o must_v unavoidable_o enter_v into_o the_o ocean_n of_o particular_a dispute_n and_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n any_o can_v have_v to_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o it_o since_o we_o have_v so_o sure_a a_o compass_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o direct_v our_o passage_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o avoid_v particular_a dispute_n be_v because_o the_o evidence_n be_v too_o clear_a in_o they_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v notorious_o deviate_v from_o this_o infallible_a rule_n and_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o a_o church_n which_o have_v err_v to_o be_v infallible_a as_o for_o a_o church_n real_o infallible_a to_o err_v but_o if_o a_o church_n pretend_v to_o prove_v her_o infallibility_n by_o text_n which_o be_v not_o so_o clear_a as_o those_o which_o prove_v she_o to_o have_v actual_o err_v then_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o recede_v from_o her_o error_n than_o to_o be_v deceive_v with_o such_o a_o fallible_a pretence_n to_o infallibility_v well!_o but_o it_o be_v not_o leave_v to_o every_o fantastical_a man_n head_n to_o believe_v as_o be_v please_v but_o to_o the_o church_n and_o be_v it_o indeed_o leâ—t_a to_o the_o church_n to_o believe_v as_o it_o please_v but_o the_o meaning_n i_o suppose_v be_v that_o those_o who_o reject_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n do_v leave_v every_o man_n to_o believe_v according_a to_o his_o own_o fancy_n certain_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v be_v liable_a to_o any_o imputation_n of_o this_o nature_n for_o our_o church_n receive_v the_o three_o creed_n and_o embrace_v the_o four_o general_a

controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o that_o issue_n and_o do_v not_o those_o rather_o believe_v as_o they_o please_v who_o believe_v the_o roman_a church_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n without_o any_o colour_n from_o scripture_n antiquity_n or_o reason_n do_v not_o those_o believe_v as_o they_o please_v who_o can_v believe_v against_o the_o most_o convince_a evidence_n of_o their_o own_o sense_n do_v not_o those_o believe_v as_o they_o please_v who_o can_v reconcile_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n with_o god_n forbid_v it_o the_o communion_n in_o one_o kind_n with_o christ_n institution_n and_o the_o pray_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n with_o the_o 14_o ch._n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n but_o all_o these_o and_o many_o other_o absurdity_n may_v go_v down_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n to_o who_o it_o be_v say_v christ_n leave_v the_o power_n upon_o earth_n to_o govern_v we_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o church_n have_v authority_n of_o declare_v matter_n of_o faith_n or_o else_o it_o never_o can_v have_v condemn_v the_o ancient_a

of_o faith_n general_o receive_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o be_v do_v when_o the_o nicene_n creed_n be_v make_v and_o a_o faction_n in_o the_o church_n assume_v

obnoxious_a take_v upon_o itself_o to_o define_v many_o new_a doctrine_n as_o necessary_a point_n of_o faith_n which_o have_v neither_o scripture_n nor_o universal_a tradition_n for_o they_o it_o be_v

every_o man_n will_v be_v his_o own_o judge_n and_o by_o consequence_n no_o such_o thing_n as_o either_o right_a or_o wrong_n but_o be_v it_o not_o as_o irrational_a to_o allow_v a_o usurper_n to_o interpret_v the_o law_n to_o his_o own_o advantage_n against_o the_o just_a title_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o the_o people_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a for_o
