but_o on_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n promise_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n when_o they_o shall_v declare_v or_o define_v any_o thing_n ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la for_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a which_o declaration_n be_v indeed_o and_o in_o effect_n a_o definition_n in_o my_o conceit_n that_o declaration_n must_v bind_v for_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whatsoever_o the_o ground_n thereof_o be_v a_o formal_a law_n or_o but_o only_o a_o opinion_n and_o so_o if_o the_o pope_n have_v the_o infallible_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o his_o definition_n and_o declaration_n ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la as_o in_o suarez_n opinion_n he_o have_v though_o in_o you_o not_o and_o that_o also_o probable_o and_o intend_v in_o his_o breve_n to_o declare_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la that_o the_o oath_n be_v unlawful_a i_o see_v not_o why_o it_o shall_v not_o so_o be_v think_v and_o take_v whether_o the_o ground_n of_o such_o declaration_n be_v his_o only_a opinion_n or_o no._n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o if_o the_o whole_a church_n shall_v in_o a_o council_n declare_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a which_o before_o be_v in_o doubt_n as_o be_v now_o of_o this_o oath_n when_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o she_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o her_o general_a decree_n as_o well_o as_o in_o her_o definition_n we_o ought_v to_o to_o take_v it_o for_o such_o whether_o the_o ground_n of_o her_o declaration_n be_v certain_a or_o only_o but_o probable_a the_o same_o i_o will_v think_v shall_v be_v think_v of_o the_o declarative_a breve_n of_o pope_n at_o the_o least_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o maintain_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v no_o more_o without_o a_o council_n then_o with_o it_o for_o if_o the_o declaration_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a shall_v bind_v we_o no_o more_o than_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o declaration_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o formal_a law_n or_o but_o only_o a_o opinion_n such_o declaration_n be_v but_o idle_a and_o shall_v not_o afford_v that_o certainty_n and_o satisfaction_n which_o at_o the_o church_n be_v require_v in_o time_n of_o doubt_n i_o know_v you_o answer_v this_o difficulty_n about_o the_o pope_n breve_n sufficient_o in_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v err_v in_o declare_v or_o define_v without_o a_o general_n council_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o council_n when_o these_o breve_n be_v set_v forth_o but_o this_o difficulty_n i_o find_v about_o your_o doctrine_n and_o much_o more_o about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o suarez_n of_o declarative_a breve_n because_o you_o stand_v not_o upon_o that_o answer_n only_o answer_n 1._o but_o first_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o my_o judgement_n that_o in_o all_o declarative_a precept_n especial_o belong_v to_o manner_n or_o of_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v or_o omit_v for_o only_o of_o these_o precept_n &_o not_o of_o definition_n declaration_n or_o precept_n of_o faith_n or_o of_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v suarez_n speak_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o precept_n depend_v upon_o the_o fundamental_a ground_n reason_n &_o end_n of_o the_o precept_n and_o that_o therein_o also_o be_v employ_v the_o intention_n and_o will_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n and_o life_n of_o the_o law_n who_o intend_v only_o to_o bind_v by_o his_o declarative_a precept_n for_o as_o much_o only_a as_o the_o thing_n he_o command_v or_o forbid_v be_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n necessary_a or_o repugnant_a to_o some_o former_a law_n of_o god_n nature_n or_o some_o other_o positive_a law_n which_o the_o declarative_a precept_n do_v declare_v and_o suppose_v and_o therefore_o as_o suarez_n well_o observe_v a_o pure_a declarative_a precept_n do_v not_o make_v the_o thing_n which_o it_o forbid_v to_o be_v unlawful_a but_o only_o suppose_v and_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a as_o forbid_v by_o some_o former_a law_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o probable_a opinion_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o former_a law_n the_o declarative_a precept_n can_v bind_v no_o more_o than_o the_o probability_n of_o the_o opinion_n which_o be_v the_o fundamental_a ground_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o precept_n have_v force_n to_o bind_v 2._o neither_o do_v your_o objection_n impugn_v this_o manifest_a doctrine_n for_o although_o in_o such_o general_a precept_n wherein_o the_o church_n can_v err_v to_o wit_n when_o she_o commade_v the_o whole_a church_n something_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n the_o certainty_n and_o obligation_n of_o the_o precept_n depend_v upon_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o it_o must_v also_o depend_v upon_o the_o substantial_a ground_n reason_n and_o end_n for_o which_o the_o law_n be_v make_v but_o this_o only_a at_o the_o most_o be_v prove_v by_o your_o objection_n that_o because_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o precept_n it_o must_v consequent_o be_v annex_v to_o all_o those_o thing_n whereon_o the_o precept_n do_v necessary_o depend_v but_o to_o affirm_v therefore_o that_o the_o precept_n do_v depend_v on_o nothing_o else_o then_o upon_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v ridiculous_a 3._o as_o also_o due_a diligence_n and_o examine_v of_o the_o cause_n be_v according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o divine_n necessary_o require_v in_o a_o general_n council_n to_o define_v infallible_o any_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o because_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v annex_v to_o her_o definition_n it_o must_v consequent_o be_v also_o annex_v to_o all_o that_o whereon_o her_o infallible_a definition_n do_v necessary_o depend_v and_o thereupon_o the_o divine_n affirm_v that_o if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o church_n do_v not_o err_v in_o her_o definition_n it_o be_v also_o certain_a that_o she_o use_v due_a diligence_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_a condition_n which_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n be_v require_v to_o a_o infallible_a definition_n but_o to_o affirm_v that_o because_o the_o infallibility_n of_o her_o definition_n depend_v upon_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o neither_o due_a diligence_n nor_o examination_n of_o the_o cause_n nor_o any_o other_o thing_n be_v necessary_o require_v to_o her_o infallible_a definition_n be_v absurd_a &_o ridiculous_a 4._o wherefore_o you_o must_v distinguish_v betwixt_o fundamental_a intrinsical_v and_o necessary_a reason_n or_o ground_n and_o extrinsecall_v or_o accidental_a as_o m._n widdrington_n have_v often_o affirm_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o bellarm_n &_o canus_n to_o which_o also_o all_o other_o divine_n do_v agree_v for_o these_o last_o may_v be_v false_a and_o yet_o the_o definition_n true_a as_o in_o the_o second_o council_n of_o nice_a it_o be_v declare_v that_o angel_n may_v be_v paint_v because_o they_o have_v body_n the_o declaration_n be_v true_a although_o this_o reason_n be_v extrinsecall_n and_o accidental_a be_v false_a but_o if_o she_o have_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o paint_v angel_n because_o it_o be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o faith_n or_o good_a manner_n which_o be_v a_o fundamental_a ground_n and_o reason_n of_o that_o declaration_n the_o declaration_n can_v not_o be_v true_a if_o that_o fundamental_a reason_n and_o ground_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v false_a and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o suarez_n in_o general_a 5_o and_o therefore_o second_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o pope_n breve_n if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o pope_n in_o make_v his_o declarative_a prohibition_n of_o the_o oath_n have_v the_o infallible_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mr._n widdrington_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o affirm_v that_o as_o the_o prohibition_n be_v infallible_a so_o consequen_o the_o fundamental_a reason_n and_o ground_n for_o which_o the_o oath_n be_v by_o the_o pope_n breve_n forbid_v be_v also_o infallible_a and_o that_o therefore_o some_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o oath_n repugnant_a to_o faith_n or_o salvation_n which_o be_v the_o fundamental_a ground_n reason_n and_o end_n of_o the_o pope_n forbid_v the_o oath_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o oath_n against_o faith_n or_o salvation_n the_o pope_n can_v not_o forbid_v it_o with_o such_o injury_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o so_o great_a damage_n to_o english_a catholic_n 6_o but_o three_o this_o objection_n of_o you_o concern_v the_o infallible_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n promise_v to_o the_o church_n for_o the_o make_n of_o general_a precept_n ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la either_o touch_a faith_n or_o manner_n do_v not_o sufficient_o confirm_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n breve_n forbid_v
