A67649	Dr. Stillingfleet's principles of Protestancy cleared, confuted, and retorted And the infallibility of the Roman-Catholick Church asserted; and that the same church alone is the whole Catholick church. In a letter from a Catholick gentleman to a Protestant knight.	Warner, John, 1628-1692.	1673 (1673)	Wing W911; ESTC R219411	19,248	38

be_v very_o sincere_a or_o much_o incline_v to_o truth_n and_o averse_a from_o falsehood_n will_v not_o permit_v any_o one_o if_o he_o can_v help_v it_o to_o abuse_v his_o name_n or_o authority_n by_o

of_o its_o miracle_n by_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o same_o church_n 1._o because_o we_o prove_v the_o credibility_n of_o the_o church_n by_o the_o sole_a moral_a appearance_n that_o our_o miracle_n be_v divine_a before_o they_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v divine_a by_o supernatural_a faith_n 2._o because_o both_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o miracle_n and_o the_o infallibility_n of_o our_o

as_o have_v be_v hitherto_o declare_v as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o 17._o proposition_n it_o be_v manifest_a to_o common_a sense_n that_o doubt_n and_o dispute_n be_v with_o more_o ease_n

to_o be_v infallible_a because_o the_o nature_n of_o assent_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o objective_a infallibility_n of_o any_o thing_n without_o we_o but_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o

there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o assent_n one_o be_v ground_v upon_o clear_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n assent_v unto_o and_o be_v a_o intellectual_a sight_n thereof_o the_o other_o be_v ground_v

21._o proposition_n be_v also_o false_a it_o be_v only_o a_o consequence_n from_o the_o former_a a_o fallible_a person_n may_v give_v a_o infallible_a assent_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n because_o

yet_o our_o assurance_n of_o that_o same_o truth_n be_v more_o than_o moral_a because_o we_o build_v not_o the_o assurance_n and_o certainty_n of_o our_o catholic_n faith_n or_o of_o the_o

and_o his_o averseness_n from_o any_o falsehood_n which_o be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o do_v as_o firm_o believe_v he_o will_v no_o more_o permit_v a_o church_n so_o likely_a to_o be_v his_o as_o the_o roman-catholick_n church_n be_v to_o err_v and_o lead_v we_o into_o any_o falsehood_n than_o he_o will_v own_v himself_o author_n or_o countenancer_n of_o that_o falsehood_n and_o fraud_n proposition_n xxii_o if_o no_o particular_a person_n be_v infallible_a in_o the_o assent_n he_o give_v to_o matter_n propose_v by_o other_o to_o he_o than_o no_o man_n can_v be_v infallible_o sure_a that_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a and_o so_o the_o church_n infallibility_n can_v signify_v nothing_o to_o our_o infallible_a assurance_n without_o a_o equal_a infallibility_n in_o ourselves_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o the_o 22._o proposition_n signify_v nothing_o if_o you_o will_v reflect_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v now_o say_v every_o faithful_a be_v infallible_a inasmuch_o as_o he_o
