between_o thing_n apertain_v to_o faith_n and_o religion_n on_o the_o one_o side_n &_o thing_n mere_o politic_a and_o civil_a on_o the_o other_o first_o for_o even_o as_o in_o politic_a &_o civil_a

not_o a_o sufficient_a rule_n for_o all_o civil_a cause_n but_o the_o write_a law_n and_o custom_n withal_o so_o also_o the_o scripture_n only_o of_o both_o testament_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a and_o entire_a rule_n of_o all_o controversy_n of_o faith_n unless_o tradition_n be_v adjoin_v these_o hitherto_o be_v manifest_a yet_o lest_o that_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n therein_o i_o will_v expound_v they_o all_o brief_o and_o first_o that_o the_o secular_a prince_n or_o magistrate_n may_v use_v the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n in_o civil_a cause_n need_v no_o long_a proof_n for_o daily_a experience_n do_v witness_v this_o in_o all_o province_n and_o kingdom_n for_o in_o every_o place_n civil_a cause_n and_o contention_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o secular_a prince_n or_o magistrate_n who_o the_o party_n at_o variance_n do_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v their_o lawful_a judge_n which_o be_v well_o know_v by_o the_o civil_a and_o canon_n law_n for_o in_o each_o of_o they_o there_o be_v title_n concern_v the_o ordinary_a judge_n and_o he_o who_o be_v the_o judge_n delegate_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o so_o ignorant_a and_o foolish_a that_o by_o the_o ordinary_a or_o delegate_v judge_v understand_v the_o write_a law_n when_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o be_v the_o ordinary_a who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n and_o power_n and_o he_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n delegate_v who_o receive_v power_n of_o the_o ordinary_a supply_n his_o office_n and_o place_n moreover_o that_o the_o write_a law_n can_v be_v judge_n may_v easy_o be_v prove_v and_o most_o plain_o in_o these_o three_o case_n first_o when_o it_o be_v obscure_a and_o doubtful_a for_o then_o there_o be_v need_n of_o some_o other_o judge_n or_o interpreter_n who_o may_v expound_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o second_o when_o one_o law_n seem_v to_o repugn_v another_o which_o happenth_n very_o often_o for_o then_o a_o judge_n be_v needful_a who_o may_v reconcile_v they_o together_o three_o when_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v general_a aught_o to_o be_v restrain_v in_o some_o particular_a case_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a limit_v which_o then_o happen_v when_o some_o particular_a case_n do_v occur_v which_o the_o law_n do_v not_o foresee_v may_v happen_v and_o yet_o perchance_o if_o he_o have_v know_v will_v not_o have_v comprehend_v it_o in_o the_o law_n therefore_o in_o such_o a_o case_n one_o must_v judge_v against_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n but_o than_o who_o shall_v be_v judge_n not_o the_o law_n itself_o for_o it_o never_o give_v sentence_n against_o itself_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o other_o judge_n beside_o the_o law_n now_o last_o that_o only_o the_o write_a law_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n for_o the_o decide_n of_o all_o civil_a controversy_n whatsoever_o but_o beside_o it_o also_o custom_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v be_v most_o certain_a among_o the_o lawyer_n and_o especial_o in_o two_o case_n first_o when_o some_o controversy_n do_v arise_v of_o the_o which_o legibus_fw-la leg._n 3●_n ff_n de_fw-fr legibus_fw-la there_o be_v no_o write_a law_n for_o then_o custom_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o law_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o less_o observe_v according_a to_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v approve_v by_o long_a custom_n and_o observe_v for_o many_o year_n as_o a_o secret_a agreement_n of_o the_o

the_o which_o i_o will_v manifest_o prove_v that_o the_o scripture_n only_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n which_o cànot_v be_v give_v to_o the_o scripture_n the_o second_o from_o the_o scripture_n itself_o in_o the_o which_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o bare_a letter_n and_o the_o meaning_n thereof_o the_o bare_a letter_n do_v kill_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o meaning_n or_o sense_n be_v obscure_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o therefore_o it_o necd_v some_o other_o judge_n or_o interpreter_n the_o three_o shall_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o controversy_n themselves_o which_o be_v in_o question_n for_o there_o be_v some_o controversy_n which_o can_v be_v decide_v by_o scripture_n see_v there_o be_v no_o mention_n at_o all_o make_v of_o they_o in_o the_o scripiture_n the_o four_o shall_v be_v take_v out_o from_o the_o use_n and_o

practice_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o sixth_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o analogy_n or_o proportion_n of_o the_o civil_a judge_n concern_v the_o question_n and_o controversy_n which_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o civil_a government_n or_o common_a wealth_n for_o the_o write_a law_n be_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o such_o controversy_n but_o the_o prince_n or_o some_o peculiar_a judge_n appoint_v by_o he_o or_o his_o counsel_n moreover_o i_o will_v examine_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n bring_v in_o against_o we_o in_o the_o beginning_n by_o the_o examine_n of_o the_o which_o i_o will_v infer_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o some_o of_o they_o do_v rather_o make_v for_o the_o catholic_n then_o for_o the_o protestant_n and_o especial_o that_o of_o the_o which_o most_o of_o all_o they_o brag_v and_o boast_v search_v the_o scripture_n second_o that_o other_o of_o they_o belong_v nothing_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o we_o speak_v and_o last_o that_o the_o protestant_n who_o only_o seek_v to_o obtain_v the_o victory_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o the_o sense_n or_o meaning_n of_o it_o but_o now_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o our_o own_o argument_n the_o scripture_n alone_o be_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n concern_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n i._o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n the_o first_o argument_n which_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o office_n of_o the_o judge_n thus_o i_o propound_v he_o that_o be_v the_o judge_n betwixt_o two_o at_o variance_n aught_o in_o such_o manner_n to_o pronounce_v the_o sentence_n that_o both_o of_o they_o may_v plain_o perceive_v what_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v so_o that_o the_o one_o may_v see_v it_o be_v for_o he_o and_o the_o other_o that_o it_o be_v against_o he_o otherwise_o the_o adversary_n will_v never_o leave_v of_o their_o contention_n but_o both_o will_v still_o continue_v defend_v their_o cause_n but_o the_o scripture_n can_v do_v this_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n the_o maiot_n be_v clear_a the_o minor_a i_o prove_v because_o the_o lutheran_n and_o the_o caluinist_n for_o these_o many_o year_n have_v iar_v and_o war_v concern_v all_o these_o article_n 1._o the_o baptism_n of_o child_n 2._o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n 3._o predestination_n 4._o the_o person_n of_o christ_n 5._o exorcism_n 6._o the_o number_n &_o canon_n of_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o will_v have_v to_o be_v judge_n can_v not_o hitherto_o nor_o can_v decide_v or_o put_v a_o end_n to_o these_o controversy_n hitherto_o it_o have_v never_o be_v hear_v that_o ever_o sentence_n be_v so_o pronounce_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o either_o the_o lutheran_n or_o the_o caluinist_n have_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v pronounce_v either_o against_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o they_o and_o this_o be_v plain_a for_o as_o yet_o they_o both_o go_v forward_o most_o bitter_o strive_v &_o contend_v which_o doubtless_o they_o will_v never_o do_v if_o they_o do_v perceive_v that_o the_o sentence_n be_v plain_o give_v in_o their_o controversy_n for_o then_o either_o the_o party_n condemn_v will_v cease_v from_o contend_v any_o long_o and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o sentence_n or_o else_o they_o will_v appeal_v to_o some_o other_o judge_n pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v unjust_o condemn_v but_o neither_o of_o these_o do_v neither_o now_o therefore_o that_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n may_v more_o plain_o appear_v two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o lutheran_n and_o caluinist_n do_v open_o confess_v that_o they_o acknowledge_v no_o other_o judge_n than_o scripture_n only_o which_o they_o affirm_v to_o be_v plain_a mainfe_v evident_a and_o sufficient_a by_o itself_o to_o decide_v all_o controversy_n whatsoever_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n &_o that_o no_o falsity_n or_o error_n can_v be_v find_v in_o it_o the_o other_o be_v that_o although_o they_o have_v this_o judge_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o obtain_v nothing_o by_o it_o but_o that_o their_o contention_n still_o grow_v great_a &_o great_a and_o they_o themselves_o become_v more_o hateful_a to_o each_o other_o out_o of_o which_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o the_o scripture_n have_v not_o hither_o to_o pronounce_v clear_o evident_o and_o sufficient_o that_o sentence_n or_o if_o it_o have_v that_o either_o the_o lutheran_n or_o the_o caluinist_n be_v very_o stubborn_a and_o obstinate_a who_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o so_o manifest_a and_o so_o evident_a a_o sentence_n of_o which_o two_o let_v

but_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v faithful_o remove_v away_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o letter_n a_o true_a quicken_a spirit_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n

can_v be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n but_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o respect_v the_o bare_a letter_n thereof_o lead_v man_n into_o error_n and_o heresy_n therefore_o it_o
