have_v a_o rule_n and_o a_o law_n which_o he_o be_v to_o follow_v in_o give_v judgement_n that_o his_o sentence_n may_v be_v just_a and_o secure_a this_o rule_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o

first_o be_v that_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v infallible_a in_o itself_o so_o certain_o the_o judgement_n of_o he_o who_o true_o judge_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n be_v also_o infallible_a and_o consequent_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n when_o she_o judge_n according_a to_o this_o rule_n or_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v not_o only_o not_o err_v but_o that_o she_o also_o can_v err_v the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v as_o well_o as_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n decide_v controversy_n of_o faith_n do_v judge_n according_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o upon_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v concern_v this_o very_a sense_n that_o she_o give_v judgement_n between_o the_o party_n who_o give_v it_o a_o different_a sense_n and_o who_o be_v oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v to_o her_o judgement_n under_o pain_n of_o be_v schismatic_n and_o heretic_n as_o their_o synod_n of_o dort_n have_v positive_o declare_v from_o hence_o follow_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n according_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v with_o we_o that_o
