that_o they_o themselves_o be_v subject_a to_o religion_n also_o that_o religion_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o salvation_n give_v of_o god_n to_o man_n and_o to_o which_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v subject_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o one_o to_o exempt_v himself_o or_o to_o change_v or_o diminish_v any_o thing_n therein_o and_o thereupon_o demand_v of_o some_o churchman_n which_o i_o have_v best_a conceit_n of_o if_o this_o rule_n be_v give_v of_o god_n they_o answer_v i_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sacred_a book_n of_o god_n call_v the_o bible_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o book_n beside_o which_o may_v be_v name_v the_o word_n of_o god_n follow_v therefore_o this_o counsel_n after_o i_o have_v pray_v to_o almighty_a god_n to_o give_v i_o grace_n to_o

and_o that_o jesus_n say_v to_o saint_n peter_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v thou_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n found_v upon_o saint_n peter_n can_v err_v in_o the_o point_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o of_o the_o roman_a sect_n affirm_v whereupon_o advise_o ponder_a these_o thing_n in_o my_o mind_n i_o say_v i_o believe_v that_o jesus_n

but_o the_o learned_a never_o any_o man_n shall_v prepare_v himself_o to_o read_v it_o see_v he_o

can_v be_v learn_v before_o he_o have_v read_v it_o i_o have_v think_v one_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n to_o become_v wise_a in_o piety_n behold_v these_o man_n will_v that_o one_o shall_v become_v wise_a before_o he_o have_v read_v it_o wherefore_o then_o do_v they_o allege_v passage_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v they_o will_v not_o permit_v i_o to_o search_v whether_o their_o allegation_n be_v true_a or_o not_o my_o mind_n be_v therefore_o to_o see_v those_o place_n which_o they_o do_v allege_v unto_o i_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o for_o the_o first_o where_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n i_o find_v it_o there_o no_o way_n speak_v of_o the_o roman_a church_n no_o more_o then_o of_o the_o grecian_a or_o syrian_a church_n there_o be_v also_o no_o appearance_n that_o the_o divine_a verity_n shall_v be_v ground_v upon_o man_n but_o much_o more_o convenient_a that_o man_n shall_v ground_v themselves_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n by_o these_o word_n only_o understand_v that_o the_o church_n be_v establish_v by_o god_n in_o earth_n to_o sustain_v and_o defend_v the_o truth_n against_o infidel_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o these_o word_n do_v represent_v unto_o the_o church_n her_o duty_n whereunto_o she_o be_v bind_v and_o not_o at_o all_o her_o authority_n so_o the_o church_n of_o syria_n plant_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n against_o the_o jew_n and_o pagan_n but_o this_o do_v not_o exempt_v it_o from_o error_n the_o like_a may_v happen_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o for_o the_o second_o place_n which_o say_v he_o that_o hearth_n not_o the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a man_n or_o a_o publican_n by_o read_v the_o whole_a place_n i_o find_v easy_o that_o these_o word_n can_v serve_v to_o show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o they_o call_v catholic_a that_o be_v to_o say_v universal_a shall_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o religion_n first_o because_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n at_o all_o in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n second_o because_o the_o doubt_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o there_o speak_v of_o but_o the_o quarrel_n and_o difference_n between_o two_o brethren_n where_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o catholic_a or_o universal_a church_n for_o to_o end_v the_o private_a quarrel_n between_o two_o brethren_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n therefore_o by_o the_o church_n in_o this_o place_n he_o mean_v the_o pastor_n or_o governor_n of_o some_o particular_a church_n labour_v to_o appease_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o particular_a person_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n he_o that_o will_v not_o then_o reform_v and_o submit_v himself_o unto_o they_o be_v put_v into_o the_o rank_n of_o pagan_n now_o to_o the_o three_o text_n the_o consequence_n thereof_o seem_v very_o harsh_a unto_o i_o peter_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v err_v for_o the_o read_n through_o this_o whole_a place_n of_o scripture_n do_v evident_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o speak_v to_o the_o church_n nor_o of_o the_o church_n but_o that_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o person_n of_o saint_n peter_n prepare_v he_o to_o the_o temptation_n into_o which_o he_o forsaw_v that_o he_o shall_v short_o fall_v and_o renounce_v his_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o promise_v he_o by_o those_o word_n that_o his_o faith_n shall_v not_o final_o fail_v in_o this_o his_o temptation_n but_o that_o god_n will_v raise_v it_o again_o from_o that_o fall_n where_o if_o by_o saint_n peter_n he_o have_v mean_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v it_o possible_a he_o shall_v not_o expound_v himself_o neither_o there_o nor_o in_o any_o other_o place_n beside_o if_o our_o faith_n rest_v itself_o upon_o these_o presupposition_n which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o saint_n peter_n have_v be_v head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n his_o successor_n not_o only_o in_o the_o bishopric_n of_o rome_n but_o also_o in_o the_o

be_v it_o that_o the_o people_n can_v be_v assure_v thereof_o see_v that_o for_o to_o know_v it_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v read_v over_o many_o history_n both_o ancient_a &_o modern_a
