that_o i_o mention_v before_o it_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o method_n and_o design_n of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n in_o this_o place_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n of_o the_o pharise_n bring_v against_o the_o disciple_n from_o which_o answer_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n to_o be_v gather_v well_o worth_a our_o observation_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o pretend_a tradition_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god._n 2._o that_o if_o there_o be_v one_o traditionary_a doctrine_n that_o notorious_o contradict_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o one_o instance_n be_v sufficient_a to_o overturn_v the_o credit_n of_o that_o tradition_n which_o pretend_v to_o deliver_v unwritten_a doctrine_n of_o equal_a authority_n with_o those_o that_o be_v write_v 3._o that_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o some_o one_o age_n or_o more_o that_o such_o and_o such_o doctrine_n be_v deliver_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n many_o age_n before_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v so_o deliver_v 4._o that_o we_o have_v a_o great_a reason_n to_o stick_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o examine_v all_o doctrine_n and_o rule_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n by_o that_o rule_n and_o to_o reject_v the_o authority_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o pretend_a tradition_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n for_o if_o when_o tradition_n be_v pretend_v for_o any_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v that_o the_o same_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o what_o be_v plain_o require_v in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o to_o contain_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o than_o our_o saviour_n use_v a_o insufficient_a argument_n against_o the_o pretend_a tradition_n of_o not_o suffer_v the_o son_n that_o be_v under_o a_o vow_n of_o the_o contrary_a to_o relieve_v his_o father_n or_o mother_n that_o it_o make_v void_a the_o commandment_n of_o god._n but_o doubtless_o our_o saviour_n be_v so_o far_o from_o use_v a_o bad_a argument_n that_o he_o use_v the_o best_a and_o most_o convince_a of_o all_o and_o true_o if_o we_o do_v not_o in_o this_o case_n consider_v our_o saviour_n authority_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v a_o monstrous_a prejudice_n that_o keep_v any_o man_n from_o discern_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n against_o the_o authority_n of_o any_o unwritten_a doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o be_v write_v for_o nothing_o be_v more_o certain_a than_o that_o contradiction_n can_v be_v true_a and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v true_a if_o that_o doctrine_n for_o which_o unwritten_a tradition_n be_v pretend_v can_v be_v of_o god_n though_o it_o contradict_v the_o write_a tradition_n which_o be_v by_o all_o acknowledge_a to_o be_v divine_a but_o as_o plain_a as_o this_o argument_n be_v yet_o it_o be_v very_o well_o for_o we_o that_o we_o find_v our_o bless_a saviour_n give_v such_o authority_n to_o it_o because_o there_o be_v christian_n in_o the_o world_n bear_v up_o themselves_o upon_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v loath_a to_o admit_v this_o argument_n which_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v amaze_v at_o because_o it_o be_v a_o utter_a confutation_n of_o all_o their_o pretence_n we_o charge_v they_o with_o have_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n new_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o new_a doctrine_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o only_o very_o different_a from_o what_o be_v teach_v at_o first_o by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o some_o of_o they_o contrary_a thereunto_o as_o we_o can_v show_v they_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n but_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v do_v by_o no_o mean_n content_v they_o and_o they_o insist_v upon_o it_o that_o the_o cause_n may_v be_v try_v otherwise_o for_o say_v they_o you_o acknowledge_v that_o our_o church_n be_v once_o a_o pure_a church_n and_o teach_v the_o gospel_n sincere_o but_o if_o as_o you_o say_v she_o depart_v from_o the_o pure_a faith_n and_o worship_n which_o the_o apostle_n leave_v it_o be_v impossible_a but_o this_o must_v have_v be_v very_o notorious_a because_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v do_v without_o opposition_n and_o resistance_n from_o some_o that_o must_v needs_o observe_v it_o tell_v we_o therefore_o when_o be_v these_o new_a and_o false_a doctrine_n introduce_v who_o be_v the_o man_n that_o bring_v they_o in_o who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o make_v the_o discovery_n what_o council_n condemn_v they_o after_o they_o be_v discover_v for_o if_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v show_v it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o any_o such_o alteration_n shall_v have_v be_v as_o you_o say_v which_o reason_v amount_n to_o thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o thousand_o year_n there_o be_v a_o great_a alteration_n happen_v in_o the_o state_n of_o religion_n unless_o withal_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o it_o come_v about_o and_o just_a when_o it_o come_v about_o the_o precise_a time_n and_o the_o punctual_a manner_n and_o circumstance_n thereof_o which_o be_v just_a as_o if_o a_o man_n almost_o desperate_o sick_a of_o a_o disease_n that_o have_v be_v for_o some_o year_n grow_v upon_o he_o shall_v prove_v to_o

show_v i_o the_o time_n when_o this_o disease_n first_o happen_v the_o manner_n how_o and_o what_o physician_n be_v call_v about_o i_o which_o kind_n of_o argue_v will_v certain_o prove_v no_o more_o than_o that_o the_o disease_n have_v take_v his_o head_n when_o the_o servant_n come_v and_o tell_v their_o lord_n that_o the_o tare_n come_v up_o with_o the_o wheat_n it_o be_v excusable_a in_o they_o to_o say_v we_o sow_v good_a seed_n whence_o have_v it_o these_o tare_n but_o when_o their_o master_n tell_v they_o a_o enemy_n have_v do_v this_o if_o they_o have_v dispute_v and_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o tare_n at_o all_o because_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v punctual_o that_o very_a night_n when_o they_o be_v sow_o and_o who_o the_o person_n be_v that_o take_v the_o malicious_a pain_n to_o sow_v they_o then_o they_o have_v be_v very_o inexcusable_a thus_o to_o renounce_v their_o own_o certain_a knowledge_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o vain_a speculation_n now_o we_o be_v very_o sure_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v at_o first_o sow_v nothing_o in_o the_o church_n but_o good_a and_o true_a doctrine_n our_o father_n that_o live_v about_o fourteen_o hundred_o year_n after_o find_v quite_o another_o sort_n of_o doctrine_n get_v into_o the_o church_n and_o some_o of_o they_o contrary_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n teach_v as_o the_o scripture_n manifest_o show_v and_o yet_o there_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n and_o still_o there_o be_v certain_a disputer_n that_o go_v about_o to_o stagger_v other_o with_o such_o like_a

our_o lord_n be_v these_o error_n bring_v into_o the_o church_n who_o be_v they_o that_o bring_v they_o in_o and_o who_o first_o complain_v of_o they_o now_o although_o a_o very_a reasonable_a

be_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o expect_v that_o every_o christian_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o answer_v these_o question_n punctual_o because_o it_o require_v more_o labour_n and_o read_n than_o
