to_o we_o the_o representer_n say_v that_o the_o papist_n believe_v that_o the_o pastor_n and_o prelate_n of_o his_o church_n be_v fallible_a that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o

he_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o some_o allow_v the_o pope_n the_o assistance_n of_o a_o divine_a infallibility_n without_o be_v in_o a_o general_n council_n yet_o he_o be_v satisfy_v it_o be_v only_o their_o opinion_n and_o not_o their_o faith_n there_o be_v no_o obligation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o assent_v to_o any_o such_o doctrine_n and_o though_o he_o maintain_v the_o necessity_n and_o right_n of_o general_n council_n lawful_o assemble_v yet_o be_v it_o not_o so_o plain_a whether_o he_o count_v they_o infallible_a or_o no_o by_o what_o he_o say_v in_o that_o chapter_n of_o council_n 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 council_n he_o believe_v it_o damnable_a in_o any_o one_o to_o receive_v it_o but_o in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n he_o speak_v out_o and_o say_v that_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a

that_o the_o pastor_n and_o prelate_n there_o assemble_v may_v be_v proud_a ignorant_a covetous_a enormous_a sinner_n and_o infamous_a for_o other_o vice_n and_o at_o other_o time_n may_v

except_v may_v err_v than_o the_o sheep_n which_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v their_o shepherd_n may_v err_v also_o and_o if_o the_o fallible_a lead_n the_o fallible_a it_o be_v not_o impossible_a for_o both_o to_o err_v and_o who_o it_o be_v that_o be_v infallible_a be_v hard_o to_o see_v and_o again_o see_v he_o tell_v we_o that_o christ_n commit_v the_o care_n of_o his_o flock_n to_o st._n peter_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n or_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v in_o this_o charge_n st._n peter_n peter_n s_o successor_n and_o that_o god_n assist_v those_o who_o have_v this_o charge_n with_o a_o particular_a help_a grace_n such_o as_o have_v a_o special_a respect_n to_o the_o office_n and_o function_n and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v give_v to_o the_o prophet_n and_o to_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v make_v a_o god_n to_o pharaoh_n i_o can_v see_v but_o it_o must_v be_v as_o consequent_a to_o all_o this_o that_o the_o pope_n shall_v be_v infallible_a as_o that_o a_o general_n council_n be_v so_o especial_o when_o it_o be_v his_o approbation_n that_o give_v force_n to_o its_o decree_n moreover_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o promise_n of_o infallible_a assistance_n to_o any_o number_n of_o pastor_n and_o prelate_n who_o be_v no_o better_o qualify_v than_o he_o suppose_v they_o may_v most_o of_o they_o be_v with_o pride_n ignorance_n and_o vice_n turbulence_n and_o covetousness_n and_o assemble_v it_o may_v be_v under_o a_o heretical_a pope_n for_o such_o it_o be_v grant_v he_o may_v be_v and_o as_o vicious_a too_o and_o ignorant_a as_o any_o of_o they_o however_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o make_v it_o very_o hard_a to_o find_v out_o this_o infalliblility_n where_o he_o send_v we_o to_o seek_v it_o in_o a_o general_n council_n for_o first_o they_o must_v be_v lawful_o assemble_v and_o next_o they_o must_v determine_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v otherwise_o it_o be_v damnable_a to_o receive_v their_o determination_n now_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o i_o to_o find_v out_o how_o lawful_o they_o be_v assemble_v and_o therefore_o as_o hard_o to_o believe_v 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 his_o apostle_n or_o no_o lest_o i_o thereby_o seem_v to_o follow_v my_o own_o private_a judgement_n or_o spirit_n rather_o than_o the_o infallible_a judgement_n of_o the_o church_n representative_a 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 it_o have_v do_v so_o it_o be_v damnable_a for_o i_o to_o receive_v its_o determination_n but_o i_o will_v hear_v what_o other_o tell_v i_o bellarmin_n say_v that_o all_o catholic_n be_v thus_o far_o agree_v that_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o be_v pope_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o councillor_n or_o together_o with_o a_o general_n council_n may_v err_v or_o judge_n amiss_o in_o matter_n of_o fact._n 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 man_n as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n that_o any_o of_o they_o preach_v plant_v church_n write_v book_n that_o these_o be_v their_o book_n or_o that_o st._n peter_n be_v at_o rome_n and_o be_v

that_o any_o unwritten_a tradition_n concern_v faith_n and_o manner_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o custody_n of_o the_o church_n and_o many_o more_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_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 agree_v as_o well_o in_o that_o the_o famous_a chancellor_n of_o paris_n gerson_n almain_n alphonsus_n a_o castro_n the_o parisian_a doctor_n yea_o and_o no_o less_o man_n than_o p._n adrian_z the_o vi_o the_o say_v the_o same_o author_n have_v teach_v that_o the_o pope_n as_o he_o be_v pope_n may_v be_v a_o heretic_n and_o teach_v heresy_n when_o he_o desine_v any_o thing_n without_o a_o general_n council_n and_o true_o if_o as_o a_o man_n he_o may_v be_v a_o heretic_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o may_v not_o be_v so_o as_o a_o pope_n for_o i_o take_v the_o man_n and_o the_o pope_n to_o be_v here_o both_o one_o but_o further_a these_o last_o name_v will_v

have_v this_o infallibility_n or_o judgement_n to_o be_v in_o the_o council_n and_o not_o in_o the_o pope_n and_o bellarmin_n tell_v we_o that_o this_o opinion_n be_v not_o proper_o heretical_a and_o for_o this_o good_a reason_n which_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o hold_v they_o will_v lose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o church_n because_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o be_v tolerate_v in_o the_o church_n yet_o it_o seem_v erroneous_a and_o next_o a_o kin_n to_o heresy_n it_o shall_v seem_v by_o this_o that_o a_o error_n tolerate_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o heresy_n but_o if_o not_o tolerate_v it_o be_v indeed_o i_o know_v not_o well_o how_o ever_o she_o can_v err_v heretical_o at_o this_o rate_n unless_o she_o will_v grow_v so_o unkind_a to_o herself_o as_o not_o to_o tolerate_v she_o own_o error_n the_o same_o jesuit_n tell_v we_o again_o that_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o albertus_n pighius_fw-la and_o whether_o he_o be_v singular_a in_o it_o or_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o ask_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v a_o heretic_n or_o teach_v heresy_n public_o although_o himself_o alone_a define_v any_o thing_n without_o a_o council_n and_o this_o opinion_n he_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v probable_a yet_o not_o certain_a but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o pope_n have_v be_v heretic_n either_o as_o condemn_v by_o or_o condemn_v one_o another_o for_o heresy_n last_o he_o say_v the_o most_o common_a opinion_n and_o that_o for_o which_o he_o bring_v a_o multitute_n of_o author_n be_v this_o that_o whether_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v a_o heretic_n or_o no_o yet_o he_o can_v any_o way_n define_v any_o heretical_a thing_n to_o be_v believe_v by_o the_o whole_a church_n this_o he_o call_v the_o most_o sure_a opinion_n though_o they_o who_o be_v of_o it_o seem_v not_o very_o well_o agree_v among_o themselves_o about_o it_o for_o some_o of_o they_o say_v simple_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v other_o speak_v it_o with_o this_o limitation_n proceed_v mature_o with_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o council_n but_o now_o suppose_v he_o shall_v be_v too_o hasty_a and_o define_v something_o rash_o of_o his_o own_o head_n oh_o that_o can_v be_v say_v bellarmin_n for_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v it_o and_o yet_o i_o wish_v he_o can_v tell_v we_o why_o god_n may_v not_o as_o well_o suffer_v a_o heretical_a pope_n to_o define_v rash_o or_o indeed_o rather_o deliberate_o according_a to_o his_o own_o heretical_a judgement_n as_o suffer_v he_o to_o who_o he_o have_v commit_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o whole_a

in_o matter_n of_o religion_n i_o begin_v to_o think_v with_o myself_o with_o what_o satisfaction_n of_o conscience_n i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o live_v in_o that_o communion_n i_o must_v obey_v the_o infallible_a judge_n or_o else_o be_v damn_v and_o who_o be_v this_o infallible_a judge_n who_o i_o must_v obey_v it_o be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o all_o can_v tell_v i_o with_o one_o

in_o this_o church_n to_o who_o judgement_n i_o must_v submit_v it_o be_v the_o pope_n alone_o say_v some_o and_o yet_o these_o some_o be_v not_o agree_v whether_o he_o may_v not_o define_v some_o
