this_o question_n whether_o the_o who●e_v militant_a church_n of_o england_n may_v err_v mr._n walker_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o as_o before_o that_o it_o be_v a_o captious_a and_o ambiguous_a confuse_a question_n and_o that_o this_o militant_a church_n as_o the_o rest_n may_v err_v and_o not_o err_v according_a to_o the_o former_a diverse_a respect_n and_o consideration_n mr._n smith_n whether_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o tie_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o such_o help_n that_o it_o can_v err_v nor_o misinterpret_v the_o scripture_n in_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n mr._n walker_n i_o answer_v that_o as_o in_o all_o other_o particular_a church_n so_o in_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o england_n there_o be_v a_o double_a voice_n one_o of_o the_o church_n as_o she_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v both_o her_o voice_n commend_v the_o scripture_n only_o to_o be_v believe_v as_o necessary_a for_o save_v knowledge_n and_o true_a faith_n and_o also_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n plain_o speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o respect_n she_o be_v so_o tie_v that_o she_o can_v err_v there_o be_v another_o voice_n which_o the_o church_n utter_v not_o immediate_o from_o herself_o by_o the_o commission_n which_o christ_n give_v unto_o she_o but_o by_o her_o frail_a member_n suppose_v a_o synod_n and_o assembly_n of_o pastor_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o determine_v thing_n doubtful_a out_o of_o obscure_a place_n of_o scripture_n and_o to_o make_v they_o more_o plain_a than_o the_o scripture_n do_v upon_o which_o they_o build_v this_o voice_n may_v err_v and_o by_o it_o the_o church_n may_v be_v say_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o err_v in_o some_o part_n though_o not_o whole_o nor_o final_o nor_o obstinate_o because_o if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n it_o will_v not_o absolute_o and_o peremptory_o determine_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n leave_v doubtful_a neither_o will_v it_o persist_v always_o in_o the_o error_n if_o they_o be_v deadly_a but_o either_o the_o whole_a number_n or_o at_o least_o some_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o church_n will_v renounce_v it_o and_o so_o the_o whole_a shall_v not_o err_v final_o this_o be_v my_o answer_n but_o because_o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o ground_n whereon_o to_o fasten_v that_o we_o may_v not_o spend_v time_n in_o question_n but_o may_v come_v to_o disputation_n which_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o our_o meeting_n i_o will_v grant_v you_o thus_o much_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v err_v for_o a_o time_n and_o after_o some_o manner_n in_o a_o point_n fundamental_a or_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n ground_n what_o you_o can_v upon_o this_o and_o let_v we_o have_v some_o disputation_n by_o way_n of_o strict_a argument_n and_o syllogism_n mr._n smith_n i_o have_v enough_o out_o of_o your_o own_o confession_n to_o prove_v that_o you_o have_v neither_o church_n nor_o faith_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o gentleman_n to_o mark_v and_o take_v notice_n he_o grant_v that_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o england_n may_v err_v in_o a_o fundamental_a point_n if_o in_o one_o then_o as_o well_o in_o another_o and_o so_o from_o one_o to_o another_o till_o it_o err_v in_o all_o and_o so_o have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o and_o have_v no_o faith_n it_o be_v no_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o protestant_n have_v neither_o church_n nor_o faith_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o all_o take_v heed_n of_o they_o who_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n have_v forsake_v the_o catholic_a church_n and_o faith_n and_o do_v wilful_a run_v into_o all_o damnable_a error_n and_o heresy_n and_o lead_v man_n into_o destruction_n you_o see_v how_o plain_o they_o be_v convince_v and_o i_o

for_o a_o church_n which_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n false_o or_o erroneous_o translate_v in_o some_o part_n and_o so_o not_o true_o preach_v in_o every_o part_n may_v be_v a_o true_a church_n

the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text._n mr._n smith_n but_o i_o will_v show_v plain_o by_o diverse_a example_n that_o you_o have_v diverse_a place_n of_o scripture_n false_o translate_v in_o your_o

and_o they_o shall_v seek_v the_o law_n at_o his_o mouth_n first_o this_o translation_n be_v false_a because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o hebrew_n text_n wherein_o the_o word_n be_v jishmeru_n they_o shall_v keep_v and_o jebakshu_n they_o shall_v seek_v and_o not_o they_o shall_v keep_v nor_o they_o shall_v seek_v also_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o greek_a wherein_o the_o word_n be_v

to_o hear_v all_o such_o as_o sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o err_v but_o their_o lip_n shall_v preserve_v knowledge_n three_o it_o be_v thus_o corrupt_v of_o purpose_n to_o

of_o our_o english_a translation_n mal._n 2._o 7._o i_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o hebrew_n text_n yea_o i_o will_v easy_o prove_v both_o from_o the_o hebrew_a word_n which_o you_o have_v here_o show_v in_o the_o hebrew_n interlinear_n bible_n and_o also_o from_o the_o whole_a scope_n and_o all_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n that_o the_o english_a be_v the_o best_a translation_n &_o more_o perfect_a than_o either_o the_o greek_a or_o latin_a first_o though_o the_o hebrew_n word_n jishmeru_n &_o jebakshu_n be_v of_o the_o futuretense_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v translate_v so_o in_o our_o tongue_n because_o you_o can_v but_o know_v if_o you_o have_v any_o skill_n in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n that_o the_o future_a tense_n
