definition_n of_o council_n to_o be_v prophetical_a if_o they_o be_v conclude_v by_o discourse_n then_o be_v they_o fallible_a if_o their_o conclusion_n be_v prophetical_a then_o by_o revelation_n

infallible_o without_o a_o revelation_n if_o he_o mean_v what_o be_v former_o reveal_v of_o tradition_n those_o be_v beside_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o these_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o interpret_n of_o scripture_n and_o yet_o also_o the_o church_n have_v not_o be_v so_o faithful_a in_o propose_v these_o as_o have_v be_v note_v before_o or_o do_v he_o mean_v it_o of_o traditive_a

tent_n those_o that_o claim_v full_a assurance_n by_o the_o spirit_n in_o any_o point_n we_o differ_v from_o they_o much_o first_o because_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v any_o such_o necessity_n of_o full_a assurance_n in_o every_o point_n but_o the_o roman_a must_v otherwise_o what_o need_v of_o a_o infallible_a live_a judge_n 2._o we_o pretend_v not_o to_o any_o prerogative_n above_o other_o church_n as_o to_o the_o know_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n they_o do_v therefore_o they_o urge_v that_o of_o st._n cyprian_n in_o allusion_n to_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o roman_n then_o for_o their_o church_n now_o that_o perfidiousness_n can_v have_v access_n to_o they_o not_o consider_v beside_o what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o it_o before_o what_o nilus_n

not_o mean_n if_o they_o will_v have_v it_o by_o infallible_a assistance_n in_o place_n of_o controversy_n therefore_o stapleton_n think_v rational_o that_o conclusion_n from_o discourse_n can_v be_v infallble_a and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v prophetical_a and_o that_o will_v be_v by_o revelation_n this_o number_n receive_v again_o my_o reinforcement_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o that_o text_n forename_a about_o the_o church_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n as_o we_o ordinary_o read_v it_o i_o say_v it_o respect_v the_o office_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o school-man_n he_o say_v again_o no_o it_o respect_v the_o authority_n and_o here_o he_o do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d for_o he_o offer_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o

the_o greek_a be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o which_o be_v to_o keep_v firm_a and_o stable_a the_o prop_n the_o support_n and_o this_o fair_o import_v a_o act_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la to_o keep_v up_o and_o uphold_v the_o truth_n he_o say_v also_o it_o suit_v well_o with_o his_o sense_n to_o give_v order_n to_o timothy_n to_o carry_v himself_o well_o that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v infallible_a so_o as_o not_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v it_o improbable_a that_o god_n shall_v assist_v infallible_o such_o a_o church_n ans_fw-fr the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n himself_o destroy_v he_o be_v afraid_a to_o make_v good_a life_n a_o argument_n of_o infallibility_n because_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a argument_n since_o solomon_n the_o idolater_n be_v assist_v with_o infallibility_n well_o but_o let_v they_o first_o take_v my_o sense_n with_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o schoolman_n and_o so_o compare_v they_o with_o his_o reason_n which_o be_v but_o a_o pitiful_a argument_n and_o then_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o best_o to_o take_v my_o account_n upon_o the_o place_n second_o if_o badness_n of_o life_n be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o infallibility_n then_o since_o they_o can_v deny_v that_o some_o of_o their_o chief_a pastor_n have_v be_v in_o life_n scandalous_a their_o infallibility_n will_v be_v scandalize_v and_o so_o can_v be_v such_o a_o way_n as_o that_o fool_n can_v err_v as_o he_o urge_v before_o three_o if_o this_o satisfy_v the_o multitude_n that_o those_o who_o be_v to_o instruct_v they_o be_v of_o unblamable_a life_n yet_o this_o though_o it_o be_v enough_o ad_fw-la faciendum_fw-la populum_fw-la yet_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o judicious_a man_n who_o look_v for_o satisfaction_n upon_o solid_a principle_n nor_o can_v this_o make_v faith_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o their_o infallibility_n but_o a_o better_a opinion_n thereof_o four_o as_o for_o bishop_n and_o deacon_n which_o he_o say_v shall_v be_v so_o qualify_v by_o the_o order_n of_o st_n paul_n to_o and_o for_o the_o credit_n of_o such_o a_o church_n he_o do_v not_o there_o find_v in_o st._n paul_n epistle_n any_o cardinal_n bishop_n or_o cardinal_n presbyter_n or_o cardinal_n deacon_n in_o who_o the_o power_n of_o infallibility_n according_a to_o they_o shall_v chiefl_o consist_v and_o therefore_o that_o text_n do_v not_o positive_o serve_v their_o turn_n five_o i_o have_v think_v infallibility_n can_v have_v defend_v itself_o without_o the_o credit_n of_o a_o good_a life_n since_o the_o grace_n of_o gift_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n be_v two_o thing_n i_o say_v moreover_o what_o need_v of_o such_o instruction_n which_o st._n paul_n give_v to_o timothy_n if_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a since_o infallible_a assistance_n be_v immediate_a he_o answer_v here_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a consequence_n the_o church_n be_v infallible_a in_o defend_v point_n in_o a_o general_a council_n ergo_fw-la no_o man_n need_v instruction_n for_o his_o private_a good_a behaviour_n ans_fw-fr but_o first_o the_o instruction_n he_o give_v to_o timothy_n be_v such_o as_o respect_v he_o in_o his_o

the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n etc._n etc._n second_o by_o my_o adversary_n opinion_n there_o be_v no_o such_o need_n of_o instruction_n for_o a_o private_a life_n since_o it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a argument_n to_o derogate_v from_o infallibility_n by_o a_o bad_a life_n three_o neither_o be_v timothy_n i_o hope_v in_o their_o account_n a_o private_a man_n after_o this_o he_o have_v two_o

and_o therefore_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v univocal_a to_o it_o and_o then_o we_o say_v two_o thing_n first_o he_o suppose_v that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n in_o that_o space_n be_v absolute_o infallible_a 2._o much_o less_o be_v it_o infallible_a in_o council_n as_o he_o now_o pretend_v which_o then_o be_v not_o as_o he_o now_o will_v have_v they_o therefore_o from_o hence_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a it_o may_v be_v infallible_a without_o council_n and_o this_o be_v against_o he_o another_o question_n be_v this_o or_o do_v we_o perhaps_o teach_v this_o infallible_a assistance_n to_o be_v communicate_v to_o every_o one_o immediate_o ans_fw-fr he_o speak_v grave_o as_o ancient_a man_n be_v wont_a with_o a_o

be_v think_v to_o be_v infallible_a though_o timothy_n be_v not_o because_o according_a to_o he_o infallibility_n be_v in_o a_o representative_a and_o though_o timothy_n may_v have_v be_v precedent_n of_o a_o council_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o to_o be_v according_a to_o my_o adversary_n personal_o infallible_a but_o as_o head_n of_o the_o council_n yea_o he_o can_v not_o be_v head_n of_o a_o

the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o sufficient_o plead_v for_o the_o roman_a and_o also_o infallibility_n be_v not_o yet_o assert_v to_o the_o catholic_n and_o therefore_o your_o demonstration_n you_o talk_v of_o be_v but_o a_o flourish_n and_o your_o argument_n you_o think_v unanswerable_a be_v not_o to_o be_v answer_v any_o more_o because_o that_o strength_n which_o it_o have_v be_v take_v

by_o i_o and_o if_o for_o this_o opinion_n disjunctive_o yet_o not_o for_o deny_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a in_o his_o sense_n which_o be_v to_o be_v show_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n we_o can_v submit_v to_o tradition_n as_o infallible_a because_o this_o tradition_n in_o the_o roman_a sense_n bear_v false_a witness_n of_o its_o self_n nor_o to_o the_o church_n if_o it_o fallible_o pretend_v infallible_a tradition_n neither_o can_n prudent_a reason_n make_v infallible_a assent_n unless_o the_o conclusion_n can_v be_v better_o than_o their_o premise_n prudent_a reason_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o make_v science_n which_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v inclinable_a to_o neither_o because_o it_o be_v more_o opposite_a to_o their_o implicit_a

all_o the_o reason_n of_o faith_n which_o can_v be_v give_v if_o we_o take_v faith_n in_o the_o acception_n of_o a_o infallible_a assent_n must_v be_v ground_v upon_o infallible_a principle_n if_o

that_o they_o believe_v second_o if_o he_o take_v faith_n in_o a_o loose_a sense_n for_o a_o assent_n upon_o humane_a authority_n this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o question_n and_o we_o can_v allow_v tradition_n its_o influence_n hereunto_o three_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o they_o can_v not_o give_v a_o more_o prudent_a reason_n for_o what_o they_o believe_v as_o to_o other_o that_o shall_v ask_v they_o a_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n this_o we_o can_v yield_v as_o to_o universal_a tradition_n that_o by_o the_o inartificial_a argument_n of_o authority_n we_o can_v give_v no_o more_o prudent_a reason_n than_o by_o tradition_n but_o this_o do_v not_o hit_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o testimony_n private_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v not_o a_o better_a assurance_n of_o faith_n to_o ourselves_o though_o this_o be_v not_o demonstrable_a to_o other_o that_o we_o have_v this_o assurance_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o fourthly_a this_o will_v not_o do_v the_o business_n unless_o what_o he_o say_v he_o prove_v from_o scripture_n we_o have_v urge_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o beraean_n and_o the_o term_n believe_v in_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o minor_a we_o say_v second_o this_o speak_v for_o the_o church_n universal_a which_o then_o according_a to_o my_o adversary_n principle_n

if_o it_o be_v say_v some_o controversy_n may_v arise_v which_o be_v not_o so_o necessary_a to_o be_v decide_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n than_o he_o destroy_v his_o major_n which_o go_v in_o

three_o be_v one_o we_o say_v first_o in_o ingenuity_n he_o need_v not_o to_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o second_o we_o shall_v not_o by_o right_a have_v dispute_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o

why_o do_v he_o raise_v the_o dust_n if_o it_o can_v why_o be_v it_o not_o formal_o do_v therefore_o either_o this_o text_n have_v not_o give_v necessary_a occasion_n to_o a_o infallible_a judge_n

credibility_n to_o arise_v the_o scripture_n do_v with_o competent_a clearness_n furnish_v we_o against_o damnative_a error_n and_o the_o church_n do_v no_o more_o as_o you_o give_v we_o to_o

in_o the_o difference_n it_o require_v subscription_n if_o we_o see_v no_o cause_n of_o dissent_v and_o if_o we_o do_v subjection_n to_o the_o censure_n all_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o world_n

catholic_a church_n yet_o if_o we_o do_v differ_v without_o opposition_n we_o keep_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n without_o question_n and_o that_o we_o must_v differ_v until_o we_o see_v god_n

you_o exclaim_v at_o my_o abuse_v other_o by_o ratiocination_n which_o notwithstanding_o i_o confident_o say_v you_o can_v not_o nor_o can_v solve_v therefore_o prehaps_o you_o be_v please_v to_o
