and_o make_v one_o body_n in_o he_o and_o consider_v as_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o the_o one_o body_n of_o christ_n nor_o can_v be_v under_o any_o other_o notion_n so_o that_o have_v the_o catholic_n church_n any_o authority_n it_o can_v be_v exercise_v only_o by_o the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o christian_n for_o nothing_o else_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o this_o be_v as_o impossible_a as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o christian_n to_o meet_v together_o in_o one_o place_n but_o can_v the_o catholic_n church_n meet_v and_o act_v by_o its_o representative_n as_o kingdom_n and_o commonwealth_n do_v i_o answer_v i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o all_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n much_o less_o any_o one_o bishop_n can_v represent_v the_o catholic_n church_n for_o as_o bishop_n they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n but_o the_o governor_n of_o it_o under_o christ_n and_o no_o man_n ever_o yet_o think_v of_o any_o other_o representatives_n for_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a de_fw-fr facto_fw-la that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o representative_n for_o the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o christian_n never_o do_v make_v choice_n of_o any_o such_o representative_n and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v represent_v but_o by_o his_o own_o consent_n and_o if_o there_o can_v be_v any_o such_o representative_n make_v by_o the_o unanimous_a vote_n of_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n which_o i_o think_v be_v moral_o impossible_a yet_o then_o the_o high_a and_o most_o sovereign_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n will_v be_v derive_v from_o the_o people_n which_o i_o suppose_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o very_o well_o like_a nay_o indeed_o it_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a that_o the_o catholic_n church_n shall_v be_v represent_v for_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o christian_n consider_v as_o the_o whole_a company_n or_o multitude_n now_o a_o multitude_n as_o a_o multitude_n can_v never_o be_v represent_v by_o any_o thing_n but_o itself_o there_o can_v be_v no_o formal_a nor_o virtual_a multitude_n but_o the_o whole_a entire_a number_n the_o catholic_n church_n signify_v all_o christian_n and_o if_o you_o leave_v out_o any_o of_o the_o number_n it_o be_v not_o all_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o the_o catholic_n church_n now_o if_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v any_o authority_n it_o must_v have_v it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o christian_n for_o particular_a christian_n have_v no_o such_o authority_n as_o all_o man_n grant_v and_o therefore_o that_o which_o destroy_v the_o catholic_n church_n must_v destroy_v its_o authority_n too_o and_o any_o thing_n less_o than_o all_o make_v it_o cease_v to_o be_v catholic_n and_o therefore_o the_o catholic_n church_n can_v be_v represent_v by_o a_o few_o of_o the_o whole_a number_n because_o a_o few_o be_v not_o all_o and_o therefore_o not_o the_o catholic_n church_n it_o be_v a_o different_a case_n indeed_o when_o every_o particular_a man_n have_v a_o original_n right_a and_o share_v in_o the_o power_n and_o the_o whole_a power_n be_v not_o formal_o seat_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n for_o than_o it_o may_v by_o common_a consent_n be_v contract_v into_o one_o or_o more_o hand_n by_o particular_a man_n give_v up_o their_o share_n in_o the_o government_n as_o some_o fancy_n that_o civil_a society_n be_v first_o form_v but_o where_o the_o power_n be_v formal_o seat_v in_o the_o whole_a and_o not_o in_o particular_a member_n as_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n must_v be_v if_o it_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n consider_v as_o catholic_n there_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o authority_n must_v continue_v in_o the_o whole_a and_o can_v by_o no_o consent_n be_v put_v into_o a_o few_o hand_n and_o than_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o catholic_n church_n can_v have_v any_o representative_n nor_o consequent_o any_o visible_a tribunal_n and_o yet_o that_o dispute_n between_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o some_o protestant_a divine_n which_o be_v manage_v with_o so_o much_o warmth_n and_o zeal_n about_o the_o perpetual_a visibility_n of_o the_o church_n issue_v in_o this_o controversy_n about_o a_o visible_a tribunal_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n for_o nothing_o else_o will_v do_v the_o protestant_a cause_n any_o hurt_n or_o the_o popish_a cause_n any_o good_a we_o do_v say_v and_o we_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o there_o always_o have_v be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v a_o visible_a church_n for_o while_o there_o be_v any_o man_n who_o visible_o profess_v christianity_n there_o will_v be_v a_o visible_a church_n and_o what_o then_o what_o then_o why_o then_o you_o must_v hear_v the_o church_n than_o you_o must_v submit_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n than_o you_o must_v believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v and_o receive_v your_o faith_n from_o the_o decree_n and_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n but_o pray_v why_o so_o have_v every_o visible_a church_n this_o authority_n no_o but_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v suppose_v that_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o speak_v with_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o christian_n all_o the_o world_n over_o now_o it_o seem_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o speak_v with_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o know_v what_o their_o belief_n be_v in_o all_o matter_n of_o controversy_n and_o though_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v visible_a and_o part_n of_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o england_n and_o part_n in_o holland_n and_o part_n in_o france_n etc._n etc._n yet_o no_o man_n can_v see_v it_o all_o together_o nor_o speak_v with_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n together_o and_o therefore_o though_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v visible_a it_o can_v determine_v any_o one_o controversy_n unless_o there_o be_v some_o visible_a catholic_n tribunal_n from_o which_o we_o must_v receive_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n this_o the_o papist_n assert_v and_o make_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v that_o visible_a catholic_n church_n or_o visible_a tribunal_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n to_o which_o all_o christian_n be_v bind_v to_o submit_v now_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o such_o visible_a tribunal_n suppose_v such_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v yet_o this_o dispute_n about_o the_o visibility_n of_o the_o church_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o though_o the_o church_n be_v visible_a it_o do_v not_o hence_o follow_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v such_o a_o visible_a tribunal_n to_o which_o all_o christian_n must_v submit_v and_o if_o the_o visibility_n of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o prove_v one_o supreme_a catholic_n tribunal_n what_o do_v the_o papist_n get_v by_o the_o church_n visibility_n or_o what_o do_v the_o protestant_n lose_v by_o it_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o visible_a church_n and_o so_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o if_o mere_a visibility_n give_v this_o authority_n to_o a_o church_n the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v as_o good_a authority_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n because_o it_o be_v as_o visible_a a_o church_n 4._o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o essential_a unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o a_o external_a and_o visible_a union_n of_o a_o organise_v body_n because_o the_o catholic_n church_n itself_o be_v not_o a_o organise_v body_n there_o be_v and_o can_v be_v but_o one_o catholic_n church_n because_o the_o whole_a company_n of_o christian_n be_v this_o catholic_n church_n but_o then_o the_o essential_a unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o external_a and_o visible_a union_n of_o all_o christian_n which_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o civil_a society_n of_o kingdom_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o other_o inferior_a corporation_n which_o be_v unite_v under_o one_o visible_a government_n which_o knit_v and_o tie_v they_o together_o as_o nerve_n and_o sinew_n do_v the_o member_n of_o the_o natural_a body_n but_o though_o there_o be_v a_o external_a and_o visible_a union_n in_o and_o between_o particular_a church_n of_o which_o more_o present_o yet_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o union_n of_o all_o christian_n to_o christ_n which_o make_v they_o his_o one_o mystical_a body_n this_o be_v a_o very_a material_a point_n in_o opposition_n to_o
