such_o or_o such_o a_o succession_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o right_n so_o that_o if_o they_o say_v the_o greek_a church_n be_v not_o the_o church_n because_o by_o its_o own_o confession_n it_o be_v not_o infallible_a i_o answer_v that_o it_o may_v be_v now_o the_o church_n and_o may_v hereafter_o err_v and_o so_o not_o be_v now_o infallible_a and_o yet_o the_o church_n never_o err_v because_o

the_o greek_a church_n because_o their_o opinion_n be_v consonant_a either_o to_o scripture_n or_o antiquity_n they_o run_v into_o a_o circle_n prove_v their_o tenet_n to_o be_v true_a first_o because_o the_o church_n hold_v they_o and_o then_o they_o to_o be_v the_o church_n because_o the_o church_n hold_v the_o truth_n which_o last_o though_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o the_o only_a way_n yet_o it_o take_v away_o its_o be_v a_o guide_n which_o we_o may_v follow_v without_o examination_n without_o which_o all_o they_o say_v beside_o be_v nothing_o nay_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v

yet_o this_o can_v be_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o the_o ignorant_a who_o can_v have_v any_o infallible_a foundation_n for_o their_o belief_n that_o the_o church_n of_o greece_n pretend_v not_o to_o the_o same_o and_o even_o to_o the_o learned_a it_o be_v but_o a_o accidental_a argument_n because_o if_o any_o other_o company_n have_v likewise_o claim_v to_o be_v infallible_a it_o have_v overthrow_v all_o the_o chief_a reason_n why_o they_o disallow_v of_o scripture_n for_o judge_n be_v because_o when_o difference_n arise_v about_o the_o interpretation_n there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o

fall_v together_o to_o the_o ground_n if_o they_o command_v we_o to_o believe_v infallible_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o they_o be_v to_o prove_v it_o false_a by_o some_o infallible_a way_n for_o

may_v we_o have_v by_o go_v to_o most_o at_o three_o throw_n and_o resolve_v to_o stand_v to_o that_o beside_o if_o you_o have_v and_o make_v no_o more_o use_n of_o it_o it_o seem_v there_o be_v no_o

we_o reply_v that_o yet_o true_o those_o judge_n who_o shall_v make_v no_o more_o haste_n to_o end_v they_o than_o your_o judge_n do_v these_o will_v deserve_v to_o loose_v his_o place_n but_o this_o

pray_v observe_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o two_o first_o age_n at_o least_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o and_o all_o that_o be_v extant_a to_o have_v give_v assent_n to_o tradition_n so_o unsufficient_o testify_v or_o to_o have_v mistake_v doctrine_n under_o that_o notion_n for_o so_o they_o do_v to_o this_o of_o the_o chiliast_n and_o then_o after_o for_o it_o to_o spread_v till_o it_o be_v general_a land_n last_o as_o long_o as_o man_n last_o upon_o their_o authority_n and_o when_o once_o it_o be_v so_o spread_v how_o shall_v we_o then_o discover_v how_o small_a a_o original_a it_o have_v when_o peradventure_o the_o head_n and_o spring_n of_o it_o will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o find_v as_o that_o of_o nilus_n so_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o what_o you_o receive_v may_v possible_o appear_v to_o be_v no_o certain_a nor_o better_o build_v if_o we_o can_v dig_v to_o the_o foundation_n wherefore_o since_o the_o delivery_n of_o a_o tradition_n by_o subsequent_a age_n have_v its_o validity_n only_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o first_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v either_o think_v that_o they_o receive_v none_o but_o upon_o better_a ground_n or_o else_o think_v

that_o the_o general_a opinion_n that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o apostle_n may_v arise_v from_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o fallacy_n their_o testimony_n when_o not_o so_o full_o express_v be_v
