then_o other_o church_n be_v not_o in_o that_o case_n oblige_v to_o hold_v communion_n with_o that_o see_n if_o therefore_o the_o possibility_n of_o error_n in_o that_o see_v be_v acknowledge_v then_o hold_v communion_n with_o it_o can_v be_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n so_o we_o bring_v it_o to_o this_o issue_n it_o be_v not_o heresy_n to_o say_v the_o pope_n may_v err_v therefore_o this_o be_v no_o just_a prejudice_n against_o our_o church_n because_o we_o have_v depart_v from_o communion_n with_o he_o when_o he_o impose_v his_o error_n on_o we_o so_o all_o the_o high_a thing_n they_o boast_v of_o that_o see_v come_v to_o nothing_o except_o they_o say_v this_o proposition_n be_v of_o faith_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v infallible_a and_o for_o these_o meeting_n that_o they_o call_v general_a council_n they_o be_v at_o best_a but_o the_o council_n of_o the_o western_a patriarchate_o artificial_o pack_v and_o manage_v with_o much_o art_n as_o appear_v even_o from_o cardinal_n pallavicini_n history_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n for_o the_o three_o prejudice_n it_o be_v the_o most_o disingenuous_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v because_o our_o church_n be_v charitable_a and_o modest_a in_o her_o censure_n and_o they_o be_v uncharitable_a and_o cruel_a in_o her_o judgement_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v that_o communion_n with_o they_o be_v safe_a than_o with_o we_o if_o confidence_n and_o presumption_n noise_n and_o arrogance_n be_v the_o mark_n to_o judge_v a_o church_n by_o we_o must_v yield_v to_o they_o in_o these_o but_o if_o truth_n and_o peace_n charity_n and_o holy_a doctrine_n be_v the_o better_a standard_n than_o we_o be_v as_o sure_a that_o our_o communion_n be_v much_o safe_a let_v this_o rule_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o

question_n come_v whether_o he_o shall_v use_v a_o approve_a physician_n or_o a_o montebank_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n the_o montebank_n say_v he_o will_v certain_o cure_v he_o and_o the_o doctor_n will_v undoubted_o kill_v he_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o doctor_n modest_o say_v he_o will_v undertake_v nothing_o but_o will_v do_v the_o best_a he_o can_v and_o for_o the_o montebank_n he_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a to_o trust_v to_o he_o though_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o sometime_o great_a cure_n be_v do_v by_o they_o the_o insolence_n of_o the_o montebank_n will_v never_o carry_v it_o against_o a_o doctor_n modesty_n but_o among_o weak_a and_o credulous_a people_n and_o such_o must_v they_o also_o be_v who_o be_v take_v with_o this_o montebankry_n in_o religion_n but_o if_o this_o be_v take_v to_o piece_n the_o folly_n of_o it_o will_v yet_o appear_v more_o manifest_a for_o first_o the_o reason_n we_o give_v for_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v because_o we_o look_v on_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o essential_o of_o christianity_n which_o be_v yet_o retain_v in_o that_o church_n and_o either_o this_o reason_v be_v true_a or_o false_a if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v who_o retain_v these_o essential_o of_o christianity_n if_o it_o be_v false_a than_o no_o inference_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o it_o second_o though_o we_o yield_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o that_o church_n we_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n by_o many_o opinion_n among_o they_o which_o if_o full_o understand_v and_o believe_v do_v even_o vitiate_v the_o essential_o of_o christanity_n particular_o that_o foundation_n of_o religion_n the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o man_n through_o christ_n former_o insist_v on_o so_o that_o we_o declare_v a_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n to_o those_o who_o sincere_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o church_n and_o a_o great_a danger_n in_o their_o church_n the_o prefer_v their_o communion_n to_o we_o upon_o this_o account_n be_v as_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o sleep_v without_o shut_v our_o door_n because_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o shall_v not_o be_v rob_v in_o so_o do_v or_o when_o we_o be_v at_o sea_n to_o prefer_v a_o cockboat_n to_o a_o good_a clean_a ship_n these_o be_v such_o absurdity_n that_o a_o ordinary_a measure_n of_o weakness_n can_v swallow_v they_o down_o three_o we_o be_v not_o so_o forward_o as_o they_o imagine_v in_o yield_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o their_o church_n for_o our_o concession_n amount_v rather_o to_o this_o that_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o than_o that_o we_o positive_o affirm_v it_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o draw_v these_o advantage_n from_o it_o 4._o a_o great_a difference_n be_v to_o be_v make_v between_o what_o god_n in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o mercy_n may_v do_v and_o what_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o by_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o man_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o former_a we_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o fix_v the_o limit_n of_o that_o mercy_n which_o be_v as_o far_o above_o our_o thought_n as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n and_o how_o far_o it_o extend_v to_o all_o sincere_a mind_n we_o be_v not_o so_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o define_v therefore_o we_o will_v not_o damn_v at_o pleasure_n as_o they_o do_v but_o we_o do_v assert_v their_o church_n be_v guilty_a of_o such_o gross_a corruption_n by_o which_o the_o vital_n of_o religion_n be_v vitiate_a that_o they_o have_v not_o that_o reason_n to_o claim_v the_o mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n due_a by_o that_o covenant_n 5._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v a_o dark_a and_o fair_a side_n the_o dark_a side_n be_v what_o the_o true_a consequence_n of_o their_o opinion_n be_v the_o fair_a side_n be_v what_o some_o witty_a man_n have_v devise_v to_o palliate_v these_o corruption_n with_o and_o to_o deceive_v the_o vulgar_a by_o we_o know_v many_o of_o that_o communion_n either_o do_v not_o at_o all_o know_v these_o corrupt_a doctrine_n or_o have_v such_o a_o fair_a representation_n make_v of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v thereby_o both_o more_o easy_o and_o more_o innocent_o mislead_v from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o hope_v more_o charitable_o concern_v some_o that_o be_v abuse_v by_o they_o but_o for_o those_o that_o have_v examine_v thing_n more_o full_o or_o that_o have_v be_v breed_v among_o we_o yet_o reject_v the_o truth_n and_o go_v over_o to_o they_o we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o incline_v to_o have_v so_o good_a hope_n of_o they_o as_o they_o imagine_v so_o this_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o ill_a ground_a conceit_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o the_o four_o prejudice_n be_v concern_v the_o necessity_n of_o submit_v to_o some_o common_a judge_n of_o distrust_v our_o own_o reason_n and_o believe_v the_o

specious_a pretence_n to_o deceive_v weak_a people_n by_o for_o first_o if-it_a be_v necessary_a that_o there_o be_v a_o common_a judge_n it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o it_o be_v know_v who_o this_o judge_n be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o talk_v of_o a_o judge_n if_o they_o can_v point_v he_o out_o this_o be_v like_o he_o that_o come_v to_o discover_v a_o huge_a treasure_n that_o he_o know_v be_v hide_v under_o ground_n but_o be_v ask_v in_o what_o place_n it_o be_v he_o answer_v he_o do_v not_o know_v that_o and_o he_o believe_v no_o body_n else_o know_v some_o say_v the_o pope_n be_v the_o judge_n other_o as_o confident_o that_o the_o council_n be_v judge_n even_o without_o the_o pope_n other_o think_v it_o be_v sure_a work_n to_o say_v the_o pope_n
