that_o the_o church_n in_o every_o age_n have_v power_n to_o declare_v what_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v with_o anathema_n to_o those_o who_o preach_v the_o contrary_a and_o so_o the_o

those_o point_n to_o be_v innovation_n may_v as_o well_o have_v lay_v the_o scandal_n on_o any_o other_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o retain_v these_o be_v thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v examine_v in_o order_n to_o the_o make_v good_a the_o charge_n of_o innovation_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o believe_v do_v stand_v on_o very_o good_a ground_n 1._o we_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v equal_a reason_n to_o define_v the_o necessity_n of_o these_o point_n as_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a and_o constantinople_n have_v to_o determine_v the_o point_n of_o the_o trinity_n or_o those_o of_o ephesus_n and_o chalcedon_n the_o truth_n of_o christ_n incarnation_n he_o do_v not_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o do_v imply_v new_a doctrine_n reveal_v but_o he_o contend_v earnest_o that_o the_o church_n have_v a_o power_n to_o declare_v the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v some_o point_n which_o be_v not_o so_o declare_v before_o and_o if_o the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v do_v depend_v upon_o the_o church_n declaration_n than_o he_o must_v assert_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o make_v point_n necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v which_o be_v not_o so_o and_o consequent_o to_o make_v common_a opinion_n to_o become_v article_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o inquire_v in_o this_o case_n since_o the_o church_n pretend_v to_o no_o new_a revelation_n of_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n therefore_o it_o can_v declare_v no_o more_o than_o it_o receive_v and_o no_o otherwise_o than_o it_o receive_v and_o so_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o what_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v so_o by_o his_o revelation_n so_o that_o they_o must_v go_v in_o their_o declaration_n either_o upon_o scripture_n or_o universal_a tradition_n but_o if_o they_o define_v any_o doctrine_n to_o be_v necessary_a without_o these_o ground_n they_o exceed_v their_o commission_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o submit_v to_o their_o decree_n or_o to_o believe_v their_o declaration_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a by_o a_o know_a instance_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o several_a pope_n and_o council_n have_v declare_v the_o dispose_v doctrine_n and_o yet_o our_o author_n say_v it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n with_o he_o why_o not_o since_o the_o pope_n and_o council_n have_v as_o evident_o deliver_v it_o as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v do_v purgatory_n or_o transubstantiation_n but_o he_o may_v say_v there_o be_v no_o anathema_n join_v to_o it_o suppose_v there_o be_v not_o but_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o case_n and_o if_o it_o be_v i_o wou●d_v know_v whether_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o will_v then_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n tho'_o he_o believe_v that_o it_o want_v scripture_n and_o tradition_n if_o not_o than_o he_o seee_v what_o this_o matter_n be_v bring_v to_o viz._n that_o althô_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n declare_v these_o new_a doctrine_n to_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v yet_o if_o their_o declaration_n be_v not_o build_v on_o scripture_n and_o universal_a tradition_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o receive_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o impossibility_n of_o innovation_n come_v in_o without_o notorious_a opposition_n i_o see_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o it_o where_o the_o alteration_n be_v not_o make_v at_o once_o but_o proceed_v gradual_o he_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o fall_v into_o a_o dropsy_n or_o a_o hectick-fever_n unless_o he_o can_v tell_v the_o punctual_a time_n when_o it_o begin_v and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v thus_o such_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o a_o fever_n upon_o a_o great_a debauch_n and_o the_o physician_n be_v present_o send_v for_o to_o

against_o some_o heresy_n and_o great_a opposition_n make_v to_o they_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a there_o can_v be_v no_o innovation_n but_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v decline_v give_v a_o account_n by_o what_o degree_n and_o step_v and_o upon_o what_o occasion_n and_o with_o what_o opposition_n several_a of_o the_o doctrine_n define_v at_o trent_n be_v

task_n to_o be_v here_o undertake_v 3._o there_o be_v no_o colour_n for_o call_v in_o question_n the_o article_n of_o faith_n receive_v by_o we_o on_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o we_o reject_v

for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n who_o never_o pretend_v to_o determine_v any_o point_n to_o be_v necessary_a which_o be_v not_o reveal_v in_o scripture_n who_o sense_n
