doctrine_n which_o i_o maintain_v it_o may_v be_v object_v will_v destroy_v that_o reverence_n which_o be_v due_a from_o the_o people_n to_o their_o pastor_n and_o make_v they_o their_o judge_n answ_n

can_v be_v deny_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v it_o by_o all_o instance_n of_o regard_n and_o kindness_n he_o that_o receive_v a_o prophet_n in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o prophet_n shall_v receive_v a_o

which_o be_v only_o due_a to_o their_o lord_n and_o master_n 3._o that_o we_o may_v give_v they_o all_o due_a honour_n though_o we_o do_v not_o think_v they_o infallible_a this_o the_o apostle_n suppose_v in_o my_o text._n for_o though_o he_o have_v require_v this_o esteem_n from_o the_o people_n towards_o their_o pastor_n v._n 13._o yet_o he_o command_v they_o to_o prove_v all_o thing_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o honour_v our_o judge_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o may_v true_o do_v it_o though_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v every_o sentence_n and_o determination_n of_o they_o to_o be_v according_a to_o exact_a truth_n and_o equity_n for_o our_o judge_n in_o civil_a matter_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o sit_v down_o by_o their_o sentence_n when_o we_o do_v not_o think_v it_o just_a we_o be_v to_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o not_o resist_v it_o do_v not_o hence_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v follow_v our_o spiritual_a guide_n without_o examine_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n determine_v only_o our_o outward_a action_n or_o dispose_v of_o some_o of_o our_o good_n and_o property_n which_o we_o have_v power_n to_o alienate_v but_o he_o do_v not_o prescribe_v upon_o our_o inward_a sense_n nor_o touch_v upon_o our_o conscience_n as_o our_o spiritual_a guide_n do_v in_o their_o command_n and_o though_o we_o do_v not_o appeal_v from_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n it_o can_v hence_o be_v infer_v that_o we_o think_v he_o infallible_a obj._n 3_o but_o this_o doctrine_n some_o will_v say_v will_v leave_v we_o at_o great_a uncertainty_n and_o our_o salvation_n will_v be_v very_o contingent_a and_o hazardous_a unless_o we_o be_v provide_v of_o a_o infallible_a guide_n without_o who_o we_o can_v be_v safe_a and_o that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o slender_a provision_n for_o our_o soul_n if_o we_o be_v not_o thus_o provide_v for_o answ_n 1._o we_o be_v not_o fit_a judge_n of_o what_o god_n ought_v to_o do_v but_o aught_o to_o thank_v he_o for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v we_o discourse_v at_o random_n and_o very_o inconsequent_o when_o we_o undertake_v to_o say_v what_o be_v fit_a for_o god_n to_o do_v and_o then_o infer_v he_o have_v do_v what_o we_o judge_v fit_a for_o he_o to_o do_v at_o this_o rate_n we_o may_v as_o well_o infer_v that_o god_n have_v establish_v a_o sovereign_a umpire_n to_o decide_v all_o civil_a controversy_n about_o meum_fw-la and_o tuum_fw-la for_o since_o these_o thing_n divide_v the_o world_n and_o be_v occasion_n of_o feud_n and_o war_n it_o may_v be_v as_o fair_o say_v that_o this_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o world_n as_o a_o infallible_a judge_n be_v for_o that_o of_o the_o church_n shall_v we_o then_o conclude_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v such_o a_o one_o or_o else_o he_o have_v be_v want_v to_o his_o creature_n it_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o member_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o possibility_n of_o sin_v as_o well_o as_o of_o err_a and_o yet_o we_o know_v god_n have_v make_v no_o such_o provision_n a_o infallible_a guide_n of_o manner_n be_v as_o necessary_a as_o such_o a_o guide_n of_o controversy_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v there_o be_v any_o such_o and_o then_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o make_v such_o a_o conclusion_n 2._o that_o suppose_v it_o necessary_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n yet_o this_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a unless_o we_o can_v be_v infallible_o sure_a of_o this_o infallible_a judge_n and_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v be_v infallible_o certain_a of_o viz._n 1._o that_o there_o be_v some_o infallible_a judge_n 2._o who_o that_o judge_n be_v both_o these_o be_v necessary_a we_o must_v be_v sure_a of_o a_o treasure_n first_o and_o then_o know_v where_o it_o lie_v before_o we_o can_v have_v cause_n to_o boast_v of_o our_o wealth_n 3._o that_o suppose_v the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o infallible_a church_n yet_o the_o more_o simple_a sort_n of_o people_n will_v not_o be_v for_o all_o this_o at_o any_o great_a certainty_n for_o they_o will_v have_v another_o task_n upon_o they_o viz._n to_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o faith_n and_o what_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o this_o church_n and_o how_o will_v they_o do_v to_o find_v that_o out_o must_v they_o be_v rule_v by_o what_o the_o ignorant_a and_o common_a people_n do_v perhaps_o the_o church_n do_v not_o allow_v of_o all_o their_o practice_n or_o shall_v they_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o parish_n priest_n but_o that_o priest_n for_o what_o they_o know_v may_v err_v though_o a_o pope_n or_o council_n can_v shall_v they_o be_v govern_v by_o common_a consent_n but_o there_o be_v differ_v custom_n and_o usage_n in_o france_n and_o spain_n and_o other_o country_n to_o which_o of_o these_o shall_v they_o adhere_v must_v they_o be_v teach_v by_o a_o pope_n ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la but_o how_o shall_v they_o know_v if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a pope_n or_o whether_o he_o speak_v ex_fw-la cathedra_fw-la or_o not_o or_o will_v you_o send_v these_o people_n to_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n alas_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o know_v that_o the_o word_n of_o that_o council_n decree_n be_v sometime_o general_a and_o ambiguous_a and_o not_o fit_a to_o direct_v plain_a and_o simple_a people_n and_o yet_o pope_n pius_n iv_o command_v that_o without_o his_o authority_n no_o

for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o that_o council_n for_o instance_n that_o council_n tell_v we_o that_o image_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o church_n and_o to_o have_v due_a honour_n give_v they_o what_o this_o due_a honour_n be_v which_o they_o allow_v how_o shall_v the_o simple_a man_n know_v whether_o it_o be_v negative_a or_o positive_a honour_n whether_o he_o give_v too_o much_o or_o too_o little_a whether_o he_o divide_v it_o aright_o between_o the_o image_n and_o the_o prototype_n how_o can_v he_o know_v how_o to_o govern_v himself_o in_o this_o affair_n indeed_o the_o council_n say_v afterward_o that_o all_o superstition_n must_v be_v avoid_v but_o what_o the_o superstition_n be_v which_o the_o council_n disallow_v it_o do_v not_o define_v and_o therefore_o the_o plain_a and_o
