in_o one_o word_n negative_a or_o affirmative_a be_v answer_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o whole_a militant_a church_n if_o such_o a_o church_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o particular_a church_n militant_a on_o earth_n and_o in_o diverse_a point_n they_o do_v differ_v among_o themselves_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o find_v out_o the_o judgement_n of_o they_o all_o in_o every_o point_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o gather_v they_o all_o at_o once_o into_o one_o place_n second_o it_o may_v be_v say_v both_o that_o it_o may_v err_v and_o also_o that_o it_o can_v err_v in_o diverse_a respect_n and_o consideration_n if_o we_o consider_v it_o by_o itself_o alone_o as_o it_o be_v militant_a and_o according_a to_o the_o militancy_n and_o weakness_n of_o it_o as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v we_o grant_v that_o it_o may_v err_v and_o in_o every_o particular_a part_n of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v find_v some_o error_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o according_a unto_o the_o relation_n and_o dependence_n which_o it_o have_v upon_o the_o triumphant_a church_n and_o the_o assistance_n which_o it_o have_v from_o christ_n his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n upon_o who_o doctrine_n and_o scripture_n it_o do_v whole_o cast_v itself_o and_o build_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n so_o it_o can_v err_v for_o in_o so_o do_v it_o do_v follow_v infallible_a guide_n even_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o a_o man_n regenerate_v and_o bear_v of_o god_n that_o he_o can_v sin_v 1_o joh._n 3._o to_o wit_n in_o the_o main_a against_o the_o main_a precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n believe_v and_o repent_v for_o he_o can_v fall_v into_o impenitency_n and_o infidelity_n because_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n even_o his_o holy_a spirit_n abide_v in_o he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v sin_n and_o do_v lie_v if_o he_o say_v he_o have_v none_o to_o wit_n through_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v true_o say_v of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o every_o part_n thereof_o that_o as_o it_o build_v only_o on_o the_o scripture_n and_o do_v urge_v no_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n of_o necessity_n to_o be_v believe_v but_o such_o as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v so_o it_o can_v err_v no_o more_o than_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o infallible_a faith_n but_o because_o all_o man_n live_v in_o the_o church_n have_v as_o infirmity_n of_o life_n so_o imperfection_n in_o judgement_n and_o some_o perverseness_n in_o affection_n and_o therefore_o may_v fail_v in_o conceive_v some_o doubtful_a and_o obscure_a place_n of_o scripture_n amiss_o or_o in_o cleave_v not_o so_o close_o to_o the_o word_n as_o they_o ought_v or_o follow_v their_o own_o
