which_o the_o apostle_n have_v over_o all_o church_n be_v peculiar_a to_o they_o and_o die_v with_o they_o we_o see_v god_n do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o leave_v a_o successor_n to_o moses_n in_o his_o full_a and_o absolute_a authority_n no_o more_o be_v it_o necessary_a to_o leave_v any_o after_o peter_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o because_o the_o work_n of_o law-giving_a be_v finish_v and_o those_o that_o come_v after_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o their_o law_n 2._o beside_o if_o peter_n do_v leave_v a_o successor_n what_o prudent_a man_n can_v believe_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v leave_v some_o notice_n thereof_o to_o the_o world_n in_o one_o of_o his_o epistle_n i_o find_v he_o say_v i_o will_v endeavour_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a after_o my_o decease_n to_o have_v these_o thing_n in_o remembrance_n 2_o pet._n 1._o 15._o how_o easy_a have_v it_o be_v to_o have_v add_v to_o that_o end_n i_o leave_v a_o

yet_o to_o say_v it_o belong_v to_o all_o follow_a pope_n divers_a of_o which_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v apostatical_a and_o most_o wicked_a wretch_n and_o that_o such_o monster_n as_o be_v the_o

not_o find_v belief_n with_o serious_a man_n till_o east_n and_o west_n meet_v together_o and_o beside_o when_o our_o divine_n say_v the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n and_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n you_o use_v to_o answer_v that_o these_o expression_n the_o antichrist_n and_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n must_v needs_o point_v at_o a_o particular_a man_n and_o not_o a_o whole_a order_n of_o man_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a the_o expression_n there_o use_v of_o this_o rock_n especial_o be_v so_o particular_o level_v at_o peter_n as_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o can_v with_o any_o colour_n be_v think_v to_o mean_v a_o succession_n of_o many_o hundred_o of_o person_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o whatever_o the_o text_n speak_v of_o peter_n it_o speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o peter_n successor_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o i_o to_o deny_v it_o as_o you_o to_o affirm_v it_o 3._o whatever_o this_o promise_n or_o privilege_n be_v it_o belong_v no_o more_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o name_n of_o one_o be_v here_o as_o clear_v as_o the_o other_o it_o be_v a_o general_a promise_n extend_v to_o the_o church_n at_o all_o

upon_o st._n peter_n you_o grant_v the_o church_n of_o england_n once_o be_v as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o be_v build_v upon_o he_o too_o when_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o pope_n and_o if_o their_o be_v build_v upon_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o secure_v they_o from_o fallibility_n and_o apostasy_n as_o you_o say_v it_o do_v not_o then_o consequent_o the_o build_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o make_v they_o infallible_a but_o they_o may_v as_o we_o say_v and_o prove_v they_o do_v fall_v away_o and_o certain_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v grant_v either_o that_o every_o church_n which_o do_v once_o adhere_v to_o peter_n or_o the_o pope_n be_v secure_v by_o this_o text_n from_o fall_v away_o or_o else_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o promise_n every_o church_n that_o now_o be_v subject_n to_o the_o pope_n may_v fall_v away_o from_o he_o and_o so_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v a_o head_n without_o a_o body_n a_o shepherd_n without_o so_o much_o as_o one_o sheep_n for_o if_o this_o text_n do_v prove_v what_o they_o desire_v that_o all_o that_o do_v adhere_v to_o the_o pope_n whilst_o they_o do_v so_o be_v infallible_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o all_o shall_v constant_o adhere_v to_o he_o which_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n 4._o if_o this_o promise_n and_o privilege_n do_v belong_v to_o any_o particular_a church_n and_o to_o you_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v your_o infallibility_n this_o place_n concern_v doctrine_n no_o more_o than_o manner_n and_o secure_v your_o church_n no_o more_o against_o damnable_a heresy_n than_o against_o damnable_a practice_n since_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n prevail_v by_o one_o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o other_o and_o since_o you_o acknowledge_v that_o peter_n successor_n have_v live_v and_o die_v in_o damnable_a sin_n they_o may_v as_o well_o die_v in_o damnable_a heresy_n beside_o if_o this_o text_n do_v prove_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n yet_o here_o be_v not_o one_o word_n concern_v his_o infallibility_n which_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n 5._o if_o this_o text_n do_v prove_v any_o infallibility_n it_o do_v not_o prove_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n which_o you_o allege_v this_o text_n for_o but_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o it_o pop._n but_o that_o church_n be_v infallible_a because_o they_o adhere_v to_o the_o rock_n viz._n the_o pope_n who_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v more_o infallible_a prot._n then_o it_o seem_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o your_o infallibility_n be_v in_o the_o pope_n as_o peter_n successor_n who_o multitude_n of_o your_o own_o learned_a and_o approve_v doctor_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v fallible_a i_o have_v hear_v you_o all_o confess_v that_o your_o pope_n may_v err_v in_o manner_n and_o practice_n be_v it_o so_o pop._n yes_o prot._n then_o whatsoever_o he_o think_v he_o may_v speak_v lie_n and_o deceive_v the_o world_n in_o tell_v they_o he_o be_v infallible_a and_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n will_v deceive_v for_o any_o thing_n he_o will_v do_v it_o for_o such_o a_o empire_n as_o the_o pope_n hold_v but_o i_o have_v hear_v also_o your_o pope_n may_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n pop._n that_o we_o do_v all_o agree_v in_o prot._n then_o he_o may_v mistake_v and_o err_v in_o these_o question_n whether_o peter_n leave_v a_o successor_n and_o whether_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o person_n and_o whether_o there_o have_v be_v that_o uninterrupted_a succession_n in_o the_o papal_a chair_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v necessary_a which_o must_v be_v infallible_o certain_a or_o else_o the_o pope_n hold_v his_o authority_n only_o upon_o courtesy_n so_o this_o place_n will_v

let_v i_o first_o ask_v you_o what_o church_n be_v there_o speak_v of_o which_o you_o say_v be_v infallible_a be_v it_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v timothy_n bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o no_o pop._n

if_o it_o speak_v of_o any_o particular_a church_n it_o must_v be_v that_o of_o ephesus_n which_o you_o confess_v be_v fallible_a not_o that_o of_o rome_n or_o if_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o universal_a church_n that_o may_v be_v
infallible_a though_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n true_o so_o call_v shall_v fail_v and_o perish_v tell_v i_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o particular_a what_o be_v that_o church_n which_o from_o this_o and_o other_o place_n you_o conclude_v to_o be_v infallible_a pop._n it_o be_v the_o pope_n with_o the_o general_n council_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o prot._n then_o i_o pray_v you_o make_v sense_n of_o the_o verse_n for_o to_o i_o it_o be_v mere_a nonsense_n timothy_n be_v here_o advise_v to_o behave_v himself_o right_o in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n according_a to_o your_o opinion_n this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o that_o thou_o may_v know_v how_o to_o behave_v thyself_o in_o the_o pope_n and_o a_o general_n council_n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o true_o be_v there_o a_o general_n council_n then_o sit_v pop._n no_o there_o be_v no_o general_n council_n from_o that_o time_n till_o two_o or_o three_o hundred_o year_n after_o when_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a be_v assemble_v prot._n then_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o most_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o paul_n direct_v timothy_n how_o to_o behave_v himself_o in_o a_o general_n council_n which_o be_v not_o then_o in_o be_v nor_o like_v to_o be_v and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o direct_v he_o how_o

of_o god_n if_o they_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v there_o they_o be_v the_o governor_n the_o steward_n the_o officer_n of_o the_o house_n but_o be_v never_o call_v the_o house_n of_o god_n but_o
