persist_v in_o they_o as_o i_o shall_v prove_v in_o the_o follow_a disputation_n of_o this_o treatise_n ergo_fw-la the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o infallible_a for_o that_o church_n that_o

word_n of_o god_n whence_o it_o ensue_v that_o we_o be_v moral_o certain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v infallible_a first_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o objection_n destroy_v itself_o for_o it_o contend_v for_o a_o infallibility_n and_o prove_v it_o by_o a_o reflex_n act_n of_o moral_a certainty_n whereas_o infallibility_n exclude_v a_o power_n of_o err_v and_o moral_a certainty_n include_v that_o power_n so_o that_o the_o result_n of_o both_o will_v be_v a_o fallible_a infallibility_n which_o involve_v a_o contradiction_n this_o be_v much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o

the_o conclusion_n will_v be_v only_o probable_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o the_o conclusion_n the_o two_o extreme_n be_v therefore_o identify_v between_o themselves_o because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o premise_n identify_v with_o a_o three_o wherefore_o if_o one_o extreme_a be_v certain_o identify_v with_o a_o three_o the_o other_o only_o probable_o they_o can_v but_o be_v probable_o identify_v with_o each_o other_o for_o this_o identity_n be_v destroy_v by_o separate_a either_o of_o the_o extreme_n from_o the_o three_o for_o application_n the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n depend_v upon_o these_o two_o principle_n first_o that_o we_o be_v infallible_o certain_a that_o christ_n promise_n be_v perform_v second_o that_o we_o be_v infallible_o certain_a of_o the_o thing_n of_o fact_n that_o christ_n do_v promise_n if_o either_o of_o these_o fail_n the_o infallibility_n fail_v and_o if_o either_o of_o these_o be_v only_o probable_a the_o infallibility_n be_v reduce_v

of_o prove_v it_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v too_o forward_o in_o arrogate_a to_o themselves_o alone_o such_o promise_n as_o christ_n make_v to_o his_o church_n for_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o primitive_a time_n yet_o since_o their_o manifold_a innovation_n and_o superstructure_n the_o protestant_a church_n be_v the_o pure_a and_o

whereof_o do_v daily_a irrigate_n the_o same_o and_o render_v it_o more_o fertile_a with_o other_o motive_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o all_o be_v the_o badge_n of_o this_o church_n who_o i_o say_v can_v serious_o ponder_v this_o without_o frame_v a_o infallible_a judgement_n that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v certain_o a_o strict_a and_o
