almost_o only_o of_o this_o inward_a light_n in_o which_o i_o perceive_v 1._o that_o you_o false_o intimate_v that_o we_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o inward_a light_n when_o as_o we_o maintain_v that_o the_o external_a light_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o the_o inward_a light_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o you_o there_o intimate_v to_o we_o a_o suppose_a

you_o mean_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o leave_v man_n without_o excuse_n that_o we_o maintain_v as_o well_o as_o you_o or_o be_v every_o man_n light_n sufficient_a to_o his_o salvation_n if_o so_o q._n 2._o be_v it_o sufficient_a before_o christ_n preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o send_v his_o apostle_n or_o be_v it_o now_o sufficient_a to_o all_o that_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n if_o so_o be_v

reason_n i_o have_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v infinite_a incomprehensible_a most_o great_a and_o most_o good_a etc._n etc._n 2._o the_o same_o i_o have_v see_v more_o

demand_v of_o you_o whether_o he_o that_o have_v see_v god_n do_v not_o abhor_v himself_o as_o job_n do_v in_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o whether_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n do_v not_o ever_o

it_o their_o business_n to_o exalt_v themselves_o as_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o beign_v perfect_a without_o sin_n and_o to_o revile_v and_o bedung_n other_o man_n with_o their_o reproach_n as_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o of_o darkness_n that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o strain_n and_o rave_v not_o as_o they_o do_v the_o pharisee_n that_o thank_v god_n he_o be_v not_o as_o

least_o save_a sight_n of_o god_n it_o will_v mighty_o change_v the_o proud_a strain_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o make_v you_o abhor_v the_o thought_n of_o your_o present_a evil_a way_n your_o 12._o query_n be_v whether_o we_o have_v the_o same_o infallible_a spirit_n as_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n have_v that_o speak_v forth_o the_o scripture_n ans._n why_o must_v you_o know_v this_o be_v all_o dog_n and_o serpent_n with_o you_o that_o have_v not_o that_o infallible_a spirit_n but_o we_o hear_v the_o croak_n of_o your_o papist_n guide_n in_o that_o word_n infallible_a that_o the_o pillar_n of_o their_o kingdom_n and_o the_o master-point_n of_o their_o new_a religion_n that_o their_o church_n be_v infallible_a for_o deny_v which_o knot_n the_o jesuit_n against_o chillingworth_n and_o a_o late_a ●otable_a gaudy_a orator_n s._n w._n against_o dr_n hammond_n and_o other_o of_o they_o will_v fain_o persuade_v we_o that_o we_o subvert_v christianity_n and_o be_v little_o better_o than_o infidel_n because_o we_o be_v not_o infallible_a but_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o and_o your_o master_n together_o in_o a_o word_n 1._o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v infallible_a inspiration_n of_o new_a matter_n of_o divine_a verity_n not_o before_o reveal_v because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v god_n penman_n and_o messenger_n of_o such_o new_a revelation_n i_o have_v none_o such_o that_o i_o know_v of_o 2._o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v guide_v infallible_o in_o the_o manner_n as_o well_o as_o the_o matter_n so_o that_o every_o word_n that_o they_o write_v to_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_o true_a i_o have_v no_o such_o infallibility_n nor_o your_o grandfather_n the_o pope_n neither_o he_o may_v err_v while_o he_o pretend_v to_o the_o great_a infallibility_n in_o decide_v controversy_n 3._o what_o man_n soever_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o believe_v any_o truth_n he_o do_v infallible_o believe_v it_o for_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o right_n be_v not_o deceive_v so_o far_o and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o mistake_v be_v so_o far_o infallible_a which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o non_fw-la fallitur_fw-la 4._o but_o if_o by_o infallibility_n you_o shall_v mean_v the_o clearness_n and_o subjective_a certainty_n as_o distinct_a from_o the_o objective_n and_o the_o bare_a truth_n of_o our_o conception_n than_o i_o say_v that_o be_v another_o thing_n than_o infallibility_n and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o call_v and_o of_o that_o certainty_n man_n have_v different_a degree_n all_o true_a christian_n be_v certain_a of_o their_o fundamental_n yet_o sometime_o with_o some_o doubt_v so_o that_o they_o may_v find_v cause_n to_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n or_o we_o believe_v help_v thou_o our_o unbelief_n but_o in_o lesser_a controvert_a point_n which_o salvation_n depend_v not_o on_o the_o best_a man_n on_o earth_n may_v err_v much_o more_o be_v uncertain_a so_o that_o in_o a_o word_n every_o church_n in_fw-la sensu_fw-la composite_a while_o a_o church_n be_v infallible_a in_o the_o essential_n of_o christianity_n and_o so_o be_v every_o true_a christian_a and_o also_o they_o know_v infallible_o every_o other_o truth_n that_o indeed_o they_o know_v because_o truth_n be_v truth_n whether_o they_o know_v it_o or_o not_o and_o when_o they_o do_v know_v it_o they_o be_v not_o deceive_v but_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o all_o err_v because_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o so_o far_o be_v deceive_v well_o i_o say_v still_o fair_a fall_n the_o honest_a humble_a christian_n that_o will_v confess_v with_o paul_n that_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n for_o i_o shall_v never_o like_v pretender_n to_o unerring_a infallibility_n more_o i_o know_v but_o two_o such_o pretender_n and_o they_o be_v both_o the_o most_o abominable_a deceiver_n and_o deceive_v

such_o relation_n or_o honour_n or_o respect_n but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o hypocrite_n you_o will_v plain_o speak_v this_o out_o and_o then_o people_n will_v better_o understand_v you_o when_o you_o

know_v not_o the_o pharisee_n have_v their_o several_a school_n sect_n as_o the_o philosohper_n have_v and_o every_o one_o glory_v in_o his_o disciple_n and_o those_o disciple_n in_o their_o own_o

none_o must_v contradict_v be_v call_v by_o the_o jew_n rabbi_n and_o father_n as_o the_o papist_n now_o call_v their_o bishop_n the_o pope_n which_o signify_v a_o father_n because_o as_o child_n must_v be_v whole_o rule_v by_o the_o father_n so_o will_v the_o pharisee_n have_v their_o disciple_n to_o be_v by_o they_o be_v the_o matter_n right_a or_o wrong_n just_o thus_o do_v the_o papist_n require_v that_o the_o people_n believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v that_o be_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o consistory_n whatever_o it_o be_v and_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o be_v infallible_a as_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o by_o a_o implicit_a faith_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n meet_v with_o these_o pharisee_n and_o command_v his_o disciple_n that_o they_o call_v no_o man_n on_o earth_n father_n or_o rabbi_n or_o master_n as_o the_o pharisee_n be_v call_v that_o be_v to_o have_v no_o such_o absolute_a master_n of_o your_o

the_o very_a same_o thing_n that_o paul_n mean_v when_o he_o chide_v they_o for_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o i_o be_o of_o apollo_n as_o if_o christ_n be_v divide_v or_o paul_n have_v be_v
