true_a bishop_n or_o priest_n which_o be_v prove_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o jesuit_n who_o lie_v so_o much_o weight_n upon_o the_o papal_a chair_n can_v know_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v so_o much_o

can_v know_v that_o any_o particular_a man_n be_v true_a bishop_n or_o priest_n you_o can_v know_v that_o any_o of_o your_o roman_a council_n have_v define_v infallible_a truth_n in_o as_o much_o as_o yourselves_o hold_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o divine_a assistance_n by_o which_o alone_o they_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v preserve_v inerrable_a be_v not_o make_v to_o any_o assembly_n but_o such_o as_o consist_v of_o man_n in_o holy_a order_n you_o be_v indeed_o content_a that_o layman_n be_v present_a there_o and_o act_n in_o a_o certain_a inferior_a sphere_n viz._n that_o they_o assist_v in_o examine_v difficulty_n consult_v debate_n approve_v protect_v etc._n etc._n but_o to_o none_o of_o they_o do_v you_o allow_v the_o power_n of_o determination_n or_o decision_n those_o

part_n of_o such_o council_n ex_fw-la gr_n that_o of_o trent_n be_v true_a priest_n and_o consequent_o capable_a of_o make_v infallible_a determination_n i_o will_v speak_v a_o less_o word_n how_o know_v you_o that_o the_o four_o part_n there_o be_v such_o you_o may_v have_v a_o true_a clergy_n i_o say_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o may_v be_v in_o

when_o most_o of_o the_o member_n of_o such_o a_o council_n want_v they_o unless_o you_o know_v both_o the_o capacity_n and_o intention_n of_o those_o who_o baptise_a and_o ordain_v such_o member_n you_o be_v not_o as_o have_v be_v prove_v assure_v they_o be_v bishop_n or_o priest_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n assist_v they_o in_o their_o work_n if_o send_v man_n to_o a_o council_n will_v indeed_o by_o post-fact_n justify_v man_n baptism_n and_o order_n it_o be_v well_o worth_a the_o while_n whatever_o it_o cost_v to_o have_v as_o frequent_v council_n as_o possible_a and_o to_o send_v numerous_a flock_n of_o the_o clergy_n thither_o to_o stay_v one_o session_n to_o be_v succeed_v still_o by_o more_o till_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o baptism_n and_o order_n of_o most_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v remove_v but_o i_o think_v myself_o the_o first_o that_o ever_o speak_v of_o this_o cure_n for_o this_o disease_n and_o therefore_o think_v it_o
