to_o discern_v by_o experience_n the_o unfaithfulness_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n so_o that_o this_o and_o some_o other_o consideration_n whereupon_o the_o papist_n use_v to_o ground_v their_o

all_o possible_a diligence_n to_o find_v out_o what_o truth_n there_o may_v be_v in_o this_o assertion_n and_o that_o not_o only_o because_o i_o shall_v thereby_o discern_v the_o necessity_n of_o

that_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o have_v determine_v it_o for_o a_o certain_a truth_n have_v already_o err_v both_o in_o faith_n and_o charity_n and_o that_o have_v err_v she_o be_v not_o

this_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o if_o any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o what_o christ_n teach_v and_o his_o apostle_n shall_v be_v define_v and_o command_v to_o be_v believe_v even_o by_o ten_o thousand_o

all_o their_o decree_n as_o infallible_a and_o i_o fear_v i_o must_v not_o be_v allow_v to_o examine_v their_o definition_n whether_o they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o

this_o be_v all_o than_o that_o i_o can_v learn_v from_o his_o discourse_n i_o must_v take_v it_o for_o a_o truth_n that_o this_o infallibility_n be_v lodge_v in_o a_o general_n council_n and_o that_o it_o can_v determine_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o then_o i_o need_v not_o inquire_v whether_o it_o have_v do_v so_o or_o no_o though_o if_o

and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a he_o may_v even_o so_o err_v in_o the_o whole_a faith_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v yet_o see_v for_o he_o may_v thus_o err_v in_o determine_v that_o there_o be_v such_o

on_o which_o the_o faith_n of_o that_o church_n depend_v again_o he_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n as_o a_o private_a doctor_n may_v err_v even_o through_o ignorance_n in_o matter_n both_o of_o faith_n and_o manner_n and_o thus_o the_o church_n whether_o virtual_a or_o representative_a may_v err_v but_o i_o will_v fain_o hear_v wherein_o she_o can_v err_v and_o whether_o all_o catholic_n be_v
