council_n it_o be_v define_v it_o seem_v indeed_o to_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v in_o some_o late_a council_n but_o i_o be_o yet_o to_o seek_v what_o general_n council_n have_v positive_o define_v it_o i_o be_o sure_a bellarmin_n and_o other_o learned_a divine_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n who_o use_v all_o manner_n of_o argument_n they_o can_v think_v of_o to_o prove_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n never_o allege_v the_o authority_n of_o any_o council_n for_o it_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v infallibility_n itself_o be_v never_o determine_v by_o any_o general_a council_n and_o if_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n be_v matter_n of_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v never_o define_v by_o any_o general_a council_n why_o may_v not_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v so_o too_o nay_o how_o do_v our_o reflecter_n come_v to_o believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n for_o this_o be_v no_o more_o define_v by_o any_o general_a council_n than_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v if_o there_o must_v be_v infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n somewhere_o i_o think_v the_o pope_n who_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o supreme_a pastor_n have_v the_o fair_a pretence_n to_o it_o for_o infallibility_n ought_v in_o reason_n to_o accompany_v the_o great_a and_o most_o absolute_a power_n if_o we_o must_v have_v a_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n it_o must_v be_v the_o pope_n not_o a_o council_n because_o if_o you_o place_v infallibility_n in_o a_o council_n the_o church_n have_v no_o infallible_a judge_n any_o long_a than_o while_o the_o council_n be_v sit_v for_o the_o definition_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n how_o infallible_a soever_o they_o be_v yet_o certain_o can_v be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n which_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v to_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o church_n can_v never_o be_v without_o a_o infallible_a judge_n he_o who_o be_v the_o supreme_a pastor_n and_o judge_n must_v be_v infallible_a now_o this_o be_v the_o case_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o our_o reflecter_n prefer_v the_o infallibility_n of_o a_o general_n council_n before_o the_o pope_n personal_a infallibility_n how_o one_o come_v to_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o the_o other_o or_o if_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v why_o one_o make_v the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v the_o other_o of_o a_o papist_n represent_v for_o though_o he_o pretend_v not_o to_o deliver_v his_o own_o private_a sentiment_n or_o opinion_n concern_v this_o point_n but_o only_o to_o relate_v matter_n of_o fact_n yet_o he_o have_v so_o cunning_a a_o way_n of_o tell_v his_o tale_n as_o to_o let_v every_o body_n know_v which_o side_n he_o be_v of_o for_o we_o may_v guess_v that_o he_o do_v not_o over_o admire_v the_o papist_n misrepresent_v and_o then_o he_o can_v be_v very_o fond_a of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n which_o be_v part_n of_o that_o character_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o goliath-argument_n as_o he_o call_v it_o concern_v the_o depose_n power_n which_o he_o put_v into_o this_o form_n 9_o in_o my_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n represent_v i_o pretend_v to_o declare_v the_o faith_n of_o a_o roman-catholick_n as_o it_o be_v define_v and_o deliver_v in_o allow_a general_n council_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o depose_n doctrine_n have_v be_v as_o evident_o declare_v in_o such_o council_n as_o ever_o purgatory_n and_o transubstantiation_n be_v in_o that_o of_o trent_n yet_o still_o with_o i_o it_o be_v no_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o untoward_a argument_n and_o i_o wish_v he_o well_o deliver_v and_o i_o think_v he_o do_v very_o prudent_o to_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n with_o a_o sling_n and_o a_o stone_n and_o not_o venture_v to_o grapple_v with_o it_o to_o this_o he_o thus_o reply_v i_o answer_v it_o in_o short_a that_o though_o all_o doctrinal_a point_n define_v in_o any_o approve_a general_n council_n and_o propose_v to_o the_o faithful_a to_o be_v receive_v under_o a_o anathema_n be_v with_o we_o so_o many_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v obligatory_a to_o all_o of_o our_o communion_n yet_o not_o so_o of_o every_o other_o matter_n declare_v in_o such_o a_o council_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n treat_v of_o and_o resolve_v on_o in_o such_o a_o assembly_n which_o concern_v not_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n but_o only_o some_o matter_n of_o discipline_n government_n or_o other_o more_o particular_a affair_n and_o these_o constitution_n and_o decree_n be_v not_o absolute_o obligatory_a as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n who_o decree_n of_o doctrine_n be_v as_o much_o acknowledge_v here_o by_o catholic_n in_o england_n or_o germany_n as_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o rome_n itself_o or_o the_o vatican_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v other_o constitution_n and_o decree_n be_v not_o universal_o receive_v and_o it_o may_v be_v
