consideration_n of_o circumstance_n plain_o refuse_v as_o for_o that_o part_n of_o your_o seven_o paraph_n where_o you_o deny_v the_o council_n be_v force_v to_o conclude_v out_o of_o tradition_n the_o desire_n of_o serve_v you_o make_v i_o wish_v myself_o a_o better_a historian_n than_o i_o be_o but_o i_o think_v the_o epistle_n of_o s._n athanasius_n to_o the_o african_n which_o you_o will_v

can_v choose_v out_o of_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o catholic_n faith_n in_o the_o arian_n know_v how_o to_o elude_v by_o show_v the_o same_o word_n to_o have_v other_o sense_n in_o other_o

be_v not_o by_o scripture_n but_o by_o tradition_n since_o what_o have_v former_o be_v say_v will_v i_o hope_v be_v a_o ingenuous_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n of_o your_o eight_o paraph_n and_o satisfy_v you_o that_o tradition_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o same_o inconvenience_n with_o word_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o but_o to_o vindicate_v mr_n white_a from_o the_o inconstancy_n you_o charge_v he_o with_o to_o which_o there_o will_v i_o think_v no_o more_o be_v needful_a then_o bare_o to_o represent_v the_o case_n to_o your_o second_o thought_n our_o faith_n you_o know_v must_v be_v both_o believe_v and_o express_v the_o expression_n he_o conceive_v it_o sit_v shall_v be_v uniform_a and_o that_o the_o best_a way_n in_o order_n to_o it_o be_v to_o make_v use_n as_o

will_v express_v he_o hold_v there_o be_v some_o other_o way_n to_o come_v to_o this_o knowledge_n beside_o look_v upon_o the_o expression_n which_o be_v consequent_a to_o the_o knowledge_n whereas_o the_o way_n to_o it_o be_v before_o it_o and_o that_o the_o expression_n naked_a of_o themselves_o and_o leave_v unguarded_v of_o other_o help_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o preserve_v and_o secure_v the_o truth_n they_o contain_v the_o position_n then_o be_v both_o true_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o best_a rule_n to_o govern_v our_o expression_n by_o and_o yet_o not_o sufficient_a to_o regulate_v our_o belief_n and_o the_o contradiction_n you_o fancy_n between_o they_o proceed_v not_o from_o his_o inconstancy_n but_o your_o inadvertence_n ¶_o 9_o of_o late_o i_o have_v read_v over_o

the_o apostle_n do_v leave_v some_o nation_n the_o gospel_n without_o write_v it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o will_v have_v always_o retain_v and_o keep_v it_o in_o succeed_a age_n pure_o where_o be_v there_o any_o particular_a church_n under_o heaven_n that_o have_v to_o this_o day_n keep_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o apostle_n entire_o without_o any_o writing_n

to_o heaven_n ¶_o 9_o i_o be_o sorry_a your_o opinion_n and_o i_o disagree_v so_o much_o about_o irenaeus_n who_o though_o i_o can_v profess_v to_o have_v read_v so_o exact_o as_o you_o do_v yet_o i_o dare_v say_v i_o be_o not_o mistake_v as_o i_o think_v you_o be_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o place_n i_o have_v read_v and_o first_o the_o edge_n of_o those_o two_o you_o bring_v in_o our_o behalf_n seem_v not_o at_o all_o take_v off_o by_o the_o answer_v you_o give_v they_o for_o since_o in_o case_n no_o scripture_n have_v be_v leave_v he_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o order_n of_o tradition_n plain_o suppose_v tradition_n will_v have_v do_v our_o business_n and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o even_o in_o that_o case_n be_v leave_v without_o a_o rule_n it_o have_v be_v nonsense_n to_o refer_v we_o to_o a_o rule_n which_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o rule_n when_o try_v and_o have_v he_o think_v so_o he_o will_v certain_o have_v tell_v we_o there_o have_v be_v in_o that_o case_n no_o rule_n at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o then_o pray_v why_o be_v not_o tradition_n as_o much_o a_o rule_n with_o scripture_n as_o without_o they_o they_o may_v add_v to_o its_o force_n by_o their_o testimony_n but_o take_v away_o nothing_o of_o its_o efficacy_n for_o that_o the_o truth_n which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v be_v write_v sure_o make_v they_o no_o whit_n the_o less_o truth_n and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v know_v what_o it_o be_v they_o teach_v as_o you_o see_v irenaeus_n be_v of_o the_o opinion_n it_o may_v by_o tradition_n i_o hope_v the_o security_n be_v equal_a whether_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o commend_v to_o writing_n this_o place_n then_o which_o by_o the_o way_n be_v not_o in_o the_o five_o but_o three_o book_n make_v it_o very_o evident_a irenaeus_n hold_v another_o rule_n beside_o scripture_n that_o be_v scripture_n not_o the_o only_a rule_n which_o be_v your_o tenet_n again_o since_o some_o nation_n have_v the_o doctrine_n but_o have_v no_o scripture_n do_v it_o not_o follow_v undeniable_o that_o there_o be_v another_o mean_n beside_o scripture_n to_o preserve_v the_o doctrine_n among_o they_o and_o further_o that_o the_o apostle_n trust_v not_o to_o write_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v they_o which_o have_v they_o intend_v for_o a_o mean_n much_o more_o the_o only_a mean_n of_o do_v it_o they_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o have_v omit_v i_o learn_v therefore_o from_o this_o place_n both_o the_o efficacy_n of_o tradition_n which_o actual_o do_v preserve_v the_o apostle_n doctrine_n without_o

say_v you_o they_o will_v have_v retain_v their_o doctrine_n pure_a in_o succeed_a age_n although_o they_o do_v so_o till_o irenaeus_n time_n and_o pray_v why_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v provide_v they_o will_v still_o make_v use_n of_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o they_o retain_v pure_a doctrine_n till_o that_o time_n and_o what_o time_n shall_v be_v assign_v in_o which_o the_o same_o cause_n shall_v leave_v off_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n since_o confess_o tradition_n do_v preserve_v the_o doctrine_n till_o then_o you_o shall_v prove_v not_o bare_o affirm_v it_o can_v do_v so_o no_o long_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v and_o your_o own_o clear_a thought_n will_v certain_o show_v it_o you_o that_o rule_n be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o likelihood_n of_o betray_v the_o truth_n commit_v to_o
