to_o be_v look_v on_o as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o what_o have_v clear_a divine_a revelation_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o although_o many_o testimony_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v

this_o you_o answer_v 1._o that_o a_o general_n council_n be_v not_o hold_v by_o you_o to_o be_v infallible_a at_o all_o unless_o it_o involve_v the_o pope_n 276._o or_o his_o confirmation_n and_o so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o infallibility_n viz._n of_o the_o pope_n preside_v in_o and_o confirm_v of_o the_o vote_n of_o a_o general_n council_n 2._o you_o confess_v there_o be_v two_o different_a opinion_n among_o you_o the_o first_o and_o more_o common_a be_v that_o the_o pope_n even_o without_o a_o general_n council_n be_v infallible_a in_o his_o definition_n of_o faith_n when_o he_o teach_v the_o whole_a church_n the_o second_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a in_o his_o definition_n save_v only_o where_o he_o define_v in_o and_o with_o a_o general_n council_n now_o the_o bishop_n you_o say_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o second_o opinion_n but_o only_o of_o the_o first_o as_o though_o that_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o catholic_n doctor_n but_o for_o your_o part_n you_o will_v not_o meddle_v much_o with_o any_o matter_n of_o private_a opinion_n or_o dispute_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v brief_o pass_v over_o what_o his_o lordship_n say_v further_a and_o only_o correct_v some_o mistake_n of_o he_o but_o whereas_o you_o pretend_v it_o only_o necessary_a to_o believe_v that_o pope_n and_o council_n together_o be_v infallible_a for_o this_o all_o catholic_n be_v agree_v in_o but_o whether_o the_o pope_n be_v infallible_a without_o a_o council_n or_o no_o you_o leave_v it_o as_o matter_n of_o dispute_n i_o shall_v manifest_v how_o great_a a_o cheat_n you_o put_v upon_o the_o world_n by_o this_o assertion_n in_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o agreement_n among_o yourselves_o in_o this_o common_a principle_n as_o you_o pretend_v 2._o that_o from_o the_o make_v the_o pope_n confirmation_n necessary_a to_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o council_n you_o must_v make_v the_o pope_n infallible_a without_o a_o council_n 1._o whereas_o you_o pretend_v such_o a_o consent_n among_o all_o catholic_n in_o this_o common_a principle_n that_o pope_n and_o council_n be_v infallible_a together_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n for_o 1._o some_o among_o you_o have_v assert_v that_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o at_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o

you_o who_o assert_v this_o doctrine_n 3._o some_o further_o say_v that_o council_n be_v in_o themselves_o infallible_a and_o therefore_o must_v be_v so_o whether_o the_o pope_n confirm_v they_o or_o no._n and_o this_o opinion_n however_o now_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o so_o common_a as_o the_o other_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o before_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n under_o leo_n 10._o it_o be_v much_o the_o more_o common_a opinion_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n and_o basil._n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o irreconcilable_a difference_n between_o the_o author_n of_o this_o opinion_n and_o those_o who_o make_v the_o pope_n confirmation_n necessary_a to_o the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n i_o shall_v prove_v out_o of_o bellarmin_n himself_o from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n and_o the_o argument_n he_o urge_v against_o it_o 13._o bellarmin_n tell_v we_o the_o first_o occasion_n of_o this_o controversy_n be_v about_o the_o deposition_n of_o pope_n viz._n whether_o the_o pope_n may_v against_o his_o consent_n be_v judge_v condemn_v and_o depose_v by_o the_o council_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o they_o be_v mistake_v who_o think_v the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o council_n with_o the_o pope_n be_v great_a than_o the_o pope_n without_o a_o council_n for_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v he_o shall_v give_v consent_n to_o his_o own_o deposition_n and_o this_o he_o prove_v from_o the_o council_n at_o basil_n who_o define_v their_o council_n to_o be_v above_o the_o pope_n at_o that_o time_n when_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o his_o legate_n be_v present_a and_o this_o council_n of_o basil_n in_o their_o synodal_n epistle_n declare_v a_o general_n council_n as_o represent_v the_o universal_a church_n to_o be_v infallible_a when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o assert_v that_o pope_n have_v fall_v into_o heresy_n now_o can_v any_o one_o possible_o imagine_v these_o man_n shall_v believe_v the_o pope_n confirmation_n to_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o council_n infallibility_n who_o suppose_v the_o pope_n may_v be_v a_o heretic_n at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o which_o a_o council_n may_v be_v infallible_a and_o when_o they_o assert_v it_o to_o belong_v to_o the_o council_n only_o to_o pronounce_v whether_o the_o pope_n be_v guilty_a of_o heresy_n or_o no_o those_o therefore_o who_o contend_v for_o the_o council_n authority_n above_o the_o pope_n do_v not_o at_o all_o look_n at_o the_o pope_n confirmation_n as_o necessary_a to_o make_v the_o decree_v infallible_a though_o some_o of_o they_o may_v to_o make_v they_o canonical_a for_o there_o lie_v one_o of_o your_o fallacy_n because_o they_o look_v on_o the_o pope_n as_o ministerial_a head_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o to_o make_v canon_n to_o be_v valid_a they_o may_v judge_v it_o in_o most_o case_n necessary_a that_o the_o pope_n confirm_v the_o decree_n but_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o suppose_v this_o confirmation_n do_v at_o all_o make_v they_o infallible_a but_o whether_o the_o pope_n have_v confirm_v they_o or_o no_o they_o have_v be_v infallible_a however_o so_o that_o you_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o faith_n among_o you_o that_o pope_n and_o council_n together_o be_v infallible_a for_o those_o of_o this_o opinion_n make_v it_o a_o principle_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o council_n in_o itself_o be_v infallible_a and_o consequent_o 14._o whether_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o pope_n or_o no._n and_o therefore_o bellarmin_n say_v their_o opinion_n be_v that_o
