that_o the_o universal_a church_n may_v not_o err_v in_o some_o lesser_a matter_n about_o christ_n suppose_a constitution_n to_o the_o three_o i_o say_v if_o by_o all_o time_n pass_v you_o include_v

of_o it_o 3._o and_o we_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o true_a pastor_n of_o the_o romish_a see_v have_v be_v long_o ago_o and_o often_o interrupt_v and_o therefore_o this_o

and_o that_o his_o determination_n or_o declaration_n that_o this_o or_o that_o be_v a_o point_n of_o faith_n do_v make_v it_o to_o we_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v

and_o by_o new_a declaration_n and_o determination_n he_o may_v make_v they_o a_o new_a article_n of_o their_o creed_n when_o he_o will_v so_o that_o their_o faith_n be_v as_o mutable_a and_o

no_o proof_n if_o they_o can_v prove_v it_o it_o must_v be_v either_o by_o his_o natural_a perfection_n or_o some_o supernatural_a endowment_n by_o which_o the_o pope_n must_v be_v more_o infallible_a than_o other_o man_n the_o former_a they_o pretend_v not_o to_o and_o no_o wonder_n the_o late_a they_o do_v pretend_v to_o but_o if_o god_n supernatural_o have_v ascertain_v all_o pope_n of_o a_o

and_o for_o the_o write_a word_n they_o can_v thence_o prove_v a_o grant_n of_o their_o infallibility_n 1._o because_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o can_v know_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o

a_o infallible_a evidence_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o authoritative_a judgement_n or_o infallibility_n or_o private_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o can_v

call_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o that_o infallibility_n they_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o this_o be_v plain_o to_o say_v that_o neither_o scripture_n nor_o
papal_a infallibility_n can_v be_v prove_v and_o so_o to_o forsake_v both_o popery_n and_o christianity_n then_o it_o seem_v no_o man_n can_v know_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n but_o upon_o the_o

6._o the_o papist_n pretend_v that_o here_o be_v somewhat_o promise_v to_o peter_n which_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o partaker_n of_o but_o that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o if_o it_o

a_o pass_v this_o learned_a cardinal_n have_v bring_v his_o great_a cause_n to_o 1._o the_o text_n speak_v but_o of_o one_o thing_n and_o not_o of_o two_o faith_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o cathedral_n

that_o his_o own_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v extend_v not_o perhaps_o to_o the_o pope_n so_o that_o for_o all_o this_o their_o faith_n may_v fail_v if_o so_o 1._o then_o the_o only_a privilege_n

2._o and_o if_o it_o do_v promise_v both_o privilege_n to_o peter_n that_o neither_o faith_n nor_o tongue_n shall_v fail_v how_o can_v bellarmine_n prove_v that_o one_o part_n belong_v to_o the_o
