Robert Everard and may serve for an answer to two Popish treatises, the one entituled The question of questions, and the other Fiat lux, out of which books the arguments urged in the said epistle against the authority of the Scriptures and the infallibility of the Roman Church are collected : in which answer, the authority of the Scriptures is vindicated and the arguments for the Roman infallibility refuted / by J.I.

our_o guide_n but_o it_o be_v because_o you_o do_v not_o make_v a_o deep_a &_o diligent_a search_n into_o they_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o your_o rhemist_n say_v heretic_n never_o find_v the_o truth_n but_o why_o do_v you_o beguile_v your_o unwary_a reader_n with_o this_o word_n viz._n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o sole_a guide_n thereby_o to_o let_v he_o think_v that_o you_o allow_v they_o in_o some_o sense_n to_o be_v a_o guide_n when_o indeed_o your_o follow_a argument_n do_v manifest_o declare_v that_o you_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v any_o guide_n at_o all_o your_o first_o reason_n why_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o guide_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o answer_v the_o end_n viz._n the_o reconcile_a difference_n for_o those_o who_o pretend_v most_o to_o consult_v the_o scripture_n do_v most_o of_o all_o disagree_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o interpret_n the_o scripture_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o may_v not_o a_o heathen_a or_o a_o jew_n allege_v the_o same_o argument_n against_o christianity_n itself_o and_o say_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v no_o safe_a way_n to_o happiness_n because_o of_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v among_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o 2_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v no_o certain_a guide_n because_o they_o have_v division_n and_o contention_n among_o they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v appear_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o st._n paul_n himself_o rom_n 16.17_o mark_v they_o that_o cause_n division_n and_o offence_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v the_o corinthian_n 1_o cor._n 3.3_o and_o 1_o cor._n 11.19_o that_o there_o be_v among_o they_o envying_n strife_n and_o contention_n some_o hold_v of_o paul_n and_o some_o of_o apollo_n some_o of_o cephas_n nay_o he_o further_o tell_v they_o there_o must_v be_v heresy_n among_o you_o that_o they_o that_o be_v approve_v may_v be_v make_v manifest_a 3_o may_v it_o not_o as_o well_o be_v say_v of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o you_o say_v be_v infallible_a that_o they_o be_v no_o guide_n or_o at_o least_o no_o certain_a guide_n because_o there_o be_v difference_n and_o contention_n among_o they_o as_o there_o be_v between_o the_o pharisee_n sadducee_n and_o essavaus_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sadducee_n deny_v the_o resurrection_n angel_n and_o spirit_n as_o you_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v no_o guide_n to_o true_a faith_n because_o man_n differ_v and_o and_o disagree_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o 4_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o world_n may_v be_v save_v because_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o all_o shall_v be_v save_v as_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v no_o guide_n to_o end_v controversy_n because_o all_o controversy_n be_v not_o end_v 5_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o infer_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v not_o teach_v man_n to_o deny_v ungodliness_n because_o some_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o wantonness_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v no_o sure_a guide_n to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n because_o many_o wrest_v they_o to_o their_o own_o destruction_n 6_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v no_o infallible_a guide_n to_o true_a faith_n because_o they_o have_v disagreement_n and_o contention_n among_o they_o as_o the_o strife_n between_o the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n about_o the_o keep_n of_o easter_n and_o they_o excommunicate_v one_o another_o and_o the_o question_n of_o rebaptising_a breed_v the_o like_a difference_n between_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o western_a bishop_n of_o one_o party_n and_o cyprian_a dionysius_n and_o firmilianus_n with_o most_o of_o the_o eastern_a bishop_n of_o the_o other_o party_n euseb_n

no_o guide_n because_o they_o have_v dissension_n and_o division_n among_o they_o as_o you_o may_v say_v the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o guide_n because_o of_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v among_o protestant_n 7_o and_o last_o may_v i_o not_o infer_v as_o well_o from_o the_o like_a premise_n because_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v difference_n among_o the_o now-pretended_n catholic_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o therefore_o their_o church_n be_v no_o infallible_a guide_n as_o you_o may_v say_v the_o man_n that_o consult_v scripture_n do_v not_o agree_v among_o themselves_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o guide_n your_o second_o reason_n follow_v in_o the_o 17_o pag._n which_o be_v but_o the_o same_o in_o effect_n with_o the_o first_o therefore_o the_o former_a answer_n may_v suffice_v only_o you_o tell_v we_o a_o story_n of_o a_o arian_n or_o as_o the_o question_n of_o question_n have_v it_o a_o arian_n cobbler_n how_o that_o if_o you_o be_v to_o dispute_v with_o he_o about_o the_o deity_n of_o christ_n from_o job_n 10.30_o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o by_o this_o text_n you_o say_v you_o shall_v think_v you_o have_v prove_v the_o question_n but_o then_o you_o say_v your_o arian_n will_v compare_v this_o text_n with_o john_n 17.21_o where_o christ_n pray_v to_o his_o father_n that_o his_o disciple_n may_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n as_o thou_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v urge_v the_o arian_n further_o and_o tell_v he_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a give_v the_o same_o interpretation_n which_o you_o do_v you_o say_v the_o arian_n will_v answer_v as_o the_o protestant_n general_o do_v that_o they_o have_v a_o worthy_a esteem_n of_o council_n as_o far_o as_o they_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o where_o they_o disagree_v in_o that_o he_o must_v contradict_v they_o all_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v set_v aside_o the_o contraversie_n between_o the_o arian_n and_o athanasian_o as_o not_o come_v within_o the_o verge_n of_o our_o present_a question_n that_o if_o the_o arian_n cobbler_n have_v be_v as_o orthodox_n in_o all_o his_o other_o opinion_n as_o he_o be_v in_o his_o opinion_n about_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o counsel_n viz._n to_o think_v reverent_o of_o counsel_n and_o agree_v with_o they_o as_o far_o as_o they_o agree_v with_o the_o world_n of_o truth_n i_o say_v if_o this_o have_v be_v all_o this_o arian_n cobbler_n error_n i_o shall_v have_v judge_v he_o a_o better_a christian_a then_o a_o roman_a shoemaker_n or_o the_o catholic_n collier_n who_o can_v say_v no_o more_o for_o himself_o be_v tempt_v by_o the_o devil_n at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n what_o his_o faith_n be_v answer_v i_o believe_v and_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n church_n be_v again_o demand_v what_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n church_n be_v answer_v the_o faith_n that_o i_o believe_v in_o see_v apology_n translate_v by_o staplet_n p._n 53._o but_o you_o say_v that_o you_o can_v urge_v against_o a_o arian_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a and_o their_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o which_o they_o infallible_o decide_v the_o controversy_n and_o here_o you_o think_v you_o have_v a_o more_o certain_a guide_n and_o ground_n of_o your_o faith_n than_o other_o because_o they_o adhere_v to_o private_a spirit_n and_o private_a judgement_n up_o on_o the_o scripture_n whereas_o you_o adhere_v to_o general_a council_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o do_v you_o think_v that_o general_a counsel_n do_v speak_v and_o teach_v in_o more_o plainness_n of_o speech_n and_o that_o they_o utter_v word_n less_o subject_a to_o be_v wrest_v by_o wrong_a interpretation_n than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v who_o speak_v as_o they_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o you_o have_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o counsel_n determination_n since_o their_o decree_n be_v as_o liable_a if_o not_o more_o liable_a to_o misinterpretation_n then_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o question_n be_v because_o you_o do_v not_o hear_v they_o yourself_o and_o if_o you_o have_v hear_v they_o you_o may_v have_v misunderstand_a they_o but_o if_o you_o say_v you_o have_v read_v the_o counsel_n and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v inform_v i_o do_v further_o demand_v how_o you_o do_v believe_v by_o a_o divine_a faith_n that_o you_o do_v not_o mis-understand_a the_o counsel_n in_o what_o you_o read_v and_o so_o collect_v a_o false_a sense_n three_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v you_o have_v a_o priest_n to_o teach_v you_o

all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o yet_o she_o may_v for_o all_o that_o err_v and_o be_v mistake_v in_o some_o profitable_a point_n and_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o man_n that_o have_v some_o lameness_n and_o deformity_n of_o body_n so_o may_v the_o church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n though_o it_o may_v be_v corrupt_a in_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v free_v from_o till_o the_o day_n in_o which_o she_o shall_v be_v present_v to_o her_o husband_n a_o chaste_a spouse_n without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n you_o proceed_v and_o in_o p._n 30._o assign_v a_o five_o argument_n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n and_o judge_n and_o the_o infallible_a guide_n when_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n from_o whence_o you_o will_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v so_o still_o sir_n i_o can_v very_o well_o own_o the_o antecedent_n and_o deny_v the_o consequence_n but_o you_o say_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o still_o unless_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v infallible_a guide_n till_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v finish_v and_o that_o then_o infallibility_n cease_v etc._n etc._n but_o then_o you_o say_v what_o will_v be_v the_o consequence_n if_o that_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o sequence_n if_o that_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o the_o apostle_n finish_v be_v now_o uncomplete_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o those_o epistle_n and_o parcel_n of_o the_o apostle_n write_n which_o you_o say_v you_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v lose_v i_o answer_v it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v need_v your_o bind_v guide_n if_o what_o you_o say_v be_v true_a but_o second_o it_o follow_v that_o your_o church_n be_v fallible_a because_o she_o have_v not_o faithful_o keep_v those_o epistle_n that_o she_o say_v be_v commit_v to_o her_o trust_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o once_o and_o again_o three_o whereas_o you_o say_v p._n 31_o if_o we_o have_v the_o whole_a canon_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n now_o on_o foot_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n sir_n this_o be_v but_o the_o same_o over_o and_o over_o for_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o all_o controversy_n be_v not_o decide_v that_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o decide_v they_o sure_o then_o it_o follow_v your_o church_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n because_o the_o controversy_n between_o the_o jesuit_n and_o the_o dominican_n and_o the_o franciscan_n and_o the_o dominican_n be_v not_o yet_o decide_v but_o last_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v not_o sufficient_o teach_v man_n to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a last_n because_o the_o world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o decide_v controversy_n in_o faith_n because_o controversy_n in_o faith_n be_v not_o decide_v this_o be_v your_o romish_a reason_v you_o come_v to_o your_o last_o reason_n in_o pag._n 32._o and_o tell_v we_o tell_v none_o of_o those_o difficulty_n that_o be_v propose_v to_o prove_v the_o scripture_n not_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v object_v against_o the_o church_n this_o argument_n i_o have_v already_o answer_v by_o show_v that_o the_o same_o and_o great_a absurdity_n be_v object_v against_o your_o church_n but_o however_o i_o will_v examine_v your_o first_o reason_n since_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o meet_v with_o it_o and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o church_n you_o say_v be_v capable_a of_o answer_v those_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v propose_v in_o that_o all_o that_o submit_v to_o it_o be_v of_o one_o faith_n i_o answer_v then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v be_v this_o true_a church_n for_o all_o that_o submit_v to_o she_o be_v of_o one_o faith_n and_o if_o any_o be_v not_o it_o be_v because_o they_o submit_v not_o your_o other_o reason_n have_v fall_v under_o consideration_n in_o the_o answer_v of_o your_o argument_n about_o the_o invalidity_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o which_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n you_o proceed_v to_o answer_v a_o objection_n pag._n 32._o which_o you_o say_v be_v make_v by_o those_o of_o the_o separation_n viz._n that_o these_o text_n which_o you_o have_v urge_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o church_n triumphant_a and_o not_o of_o the_o church_n militant_a in_o the_o world_n and_o after_o you_o have_v set_v up_o this_o puppet_n of_o your_o own_o as_o you_o phrase_v it_o or_o man_n of_o straw_n you_o spend_v your_o 33_o 34_o and_o 35_o page_n to_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v do_v nothing_o to_o part_v the_o fray_n because_o that_o suppose_a notion_n be_v no_o friend_n of_o i_o therefore_o i_o shall_v leave_v you_o to_o struggle_v with_o it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o can_v have_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o infallible_a church_n you_o come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n pag._n 36._o to_o resolve_v which_o be_v this_o church_n and_o this_o you_o say_v be_v the_o roman_a church_n the_o sum_n of_o your_o argument_n be_v this_o god_n have_v appoint_v some_o church_n upon_o earth_n to_o be_v our_o infallible_a judge_n ergo_fw-la the_o roman_a church_n must_v needs_o be_v this_o infallible_a church_n because_o no_o church_n differ_v from_o it_o that_o be_v none_o but_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v be_v this_o infallible_a church_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o in_o effect_n be_v a_o woman_n reason_n to_o say_v that_o you_o be_v infallible_a because_o you_o be_v infallible_a for_o you_o say_v the_o roman_a church_n must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o none_o but_o the_o roman_a church_n can_v be_v so_o no_o marvel_v you_o tell_v we_o reason_n must_v not_o be_v our_o judge_n for_o fear_v it_o shall_v condemn_v such_o un-manlike_a argue_n but_o you_o add_v further_o pag._n 37._o that_o the_o church_n which_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v this_o infallible_a judge_n must_v needs_o have_v this_o condition_n that_o she_o own_o her_o infallibility_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o then_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n the_o first_o 300_o year_n because_o that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o ever_o own_a infallibility_n in_o your_o sense_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n who_o like_o rome_n say_v she_o be_v rich_a and_o increase_v in_o good_n and_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o whereas_o she_o be_v poor_a and_o miserable_a blind_a and_o naked_a so_o that_o the_o whole_a argument_n be_v make_v up_o of_o presumption_n for_o you_o presume_v some_o church_n be_v infallible_a and_o then_o you_o presume_v your_o church_n must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o no_o other_o church_n own_v themselves_o to_o be_v infallible_a but_o you_o must_v needs_o give_v we_o a_o better_a reason_n or_o else_o while_o we_o make_v any_o use_n of_o reason_n we_o shall_v not_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o what_o if_o any_o church_n shall_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o call_v themselves_o infallible_a than_o your_o argument_n will_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o question_n will_v then_o be_v to_o be_v decide_v either_o by_o the_o word_n or_o by_o the_o sword_n which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v true_o infallible_a have_v answer_v your_o argument_n i_o shall_v propose_v a_o few_o question_n to_o consideration_n wherewithal_o i_o shall_v conclude_v whereas_o you_o say_v there_o must_v be_v a_o infallible_a church_n on_o earth_n to_o judge_v of_o all_o difference_n and_o that_o this_o church_n consist_v of_o a_o pope_n recide_v in_o and_o define_v with_o a_o general_a council_n in_o which_o it_o be_v represent_v by_o its_o pastor_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n i_o query_n first_o how_o be_v the_o church_n guide_v for_o the_o first_o 300_o year_n in_o all_o which_o time_n there_o be_v no_o such_o general_a council_n second_o in_o what_o time_n and_o place_n be_v the_o church_n ever_o so_o universal_o represent_v by_o her_o pastor_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n if_o not_o then_o how_o can_v she_o be_v infallible_a be_v not_o so_o represent_v three_o if_o the_o church_n be_v not_o otherwise_o infallible_a but_o by_o general_a council_n as_o aforesaid_a then_o how_o can_v we_o be_v guide_v when_o there_o be_v no_o general_n council_n as_o at_o this_o day_n four_o if_o you_o say_v we_o may_v be_v guide_v by_o those_o canon_n and_o decree_n which_o they_o make_v in_o their_o respective_a

that_o i_o understand_v not_o five_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v i_o may_v know_v they_o from_o the_o
