be_v of_o as_o many_o religion_n i_o do_v not_o say_v as_o there_o be_v parish_n but_o as_o there_o be_v head_n we_o have_v say_v he_o synod_n which_o be_v mean_n to_o hinder_v so_o great_a evil_n

methinks_v sir_n reply_v i_o that_o you_o refer_v all_o to_o instruction_n but_o this_o be_v not_o precise_o either_o the_o intention_n or_o institution_n of_o synod_n for_o oftentimes_o one_o understanding_n private_a person_n will_v give_v more_o instruction_n than_o a_o whole_a synod_n together_o what_o must_v be_v expect_v from_o a_o synod_n be_v not_o so_o much_o instruction_n as_o a_o

in_o a_o synod_n you_o carry_v it_o to_o its_o high_a point_n since_o you_o oblige_v a_o private_a person_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v understand_v the_o scripture_n better_o than_o the_o

upon_o this_o to_o reduce_v myself_o in_o few_o word_n see_v what_o be_v my_o argument_n the_o independent_o be_v very_o willing_a to_o have_v ecclesiastical_a assembly_n for_o instruction_n all_o they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v the_o authoritative_a decision_n which_o you_o will_v no_o more_o have_v than_o they_o you_o be_v then_o whole_o conformable_a and_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v condemn_v they_o you_o see_v not_o then_o sir_n say_v mr._n claude_n that_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o there_o be_v a_o authority_n in_o synod_n such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o paternal_a authority_n such_o

that_o of_o pastor_n over_o their_o flock_n they_o have_v pastor_n sir_n for_o who_o they_o require_v no_o less_o than_o you_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o deference_n have_v and_o much_o more_o will_v they_o not_o deny_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v have_v for_o a_o whole_a synod_n if_o then_o you_o accuse_v they_o of_o deny_v the_o authority_n of_o synod_n you_o must_v add_v something_o to_o what_o they_o believe_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v add_v but_o what_o we_o believe_v which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v submit_v to_o they_o without_o examine_v after_o this_o for_o a_o

dispute_v without_o end_n every_o one_o have_v nothing_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o examine_v in_o his_o conscience_n and_o before_o god_n whether_o he_o think_v himself_o capable_a to_o understand_v

child_n i_o inculcate_v in_o few_o word_n what_o a_o pride_n it_o be_v for_o one_o to_o believe_v he_o can_v understand_v gods_n word_n better_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n and_o how_o after_o this_o nothing_o hinder_v the_o be_v of_o as_o many_o religion_n as_o there_o be_v head_n mr._n claude_n here_o tell_v i_o he_o wonder_v this_o proposition_n shall_v appear_v so_o strange_a to_o i_o that_o a_o private_a person_n may_v believe_v he_o may_v happen_v to_o understand_v the_o holy_a scripture_n better_o than_o the_o whole_a church_n assemble_v that_o the_o case_n

that_o i_o will_v not_o engage_v myself_o in_o this_o discussion_n since_o our_o question_n may_v be_v determine_v by_o something_o more_o precise_a but_o because_o you_o have_v mention_v the_o

be_v to_o know_v whether_o you_o can_v avoid_v independency_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v in_o your_o doctrine_n any_o remedy_n against_o this_o insupportable_a presumption_n of_o a_o private_a

and_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n together_o let_v we_o leave_v then_o if_o you_o will_v the_o council_n of_o ariminum_n see_v here_o another_o indisputable_a example_n it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o synagogue_n when_o it_o condemn_v jesus_n christ_n and_o consequent_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o messiah_n promise_v by_o the_o prophet_n tell_v i_o sir_n

shall_v then_o have_v believe_v our_o lord_n to_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n have_v judge_v better_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o synagogue_n together_o see_v then_o a_o indubitable_a case_n in_o which_o one_o may_v without_o presumption_n do_v what_o you_o think_v so_o presumptuous_a in_o effect_n proceed_v he_o it_o be_v no_o presumption_n not_o to_o give_v to_o the_o church_n what_o

clear_o mark_v by_o the_o prophet_n with_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o be_v never_o to_o fall_v but_o in_o fine_a sir_n reply_v he_o one_o may_v have_v then_o make_v to_o this_o private_a person_n the_o same_o argument_n you_o make_v to_o we_o to_o allege_v the_o prophet_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o it_o be_v concern_v the_o application_n of_o these_o prophecy_n to_o jesus_n
