A59901	A vindication of some Protestant principles of Church-unity and Catholick-communion, from the charge of agreement with the Church of Rome in answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, an agreement between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, evinced from the concertation of some of her sons with their brethren the dissenters / by William Sherlock ...

be_v a_o animal_n without_o a_o head_n which_o be_v a_o pretty_a strange_a sort_n of_o creature_n in_o all_o our_o appeal_n from_o pastor_n to_o pastor_n from_o church_n to_o church_n in_o any_o

prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o infallibility_n for_o one_o good_a turn_n require_v another_o but_o still_o methinks_v there_o be_v a_o little_a difficulty_n why_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o appeal_v at_o all_o to_o a_o fallible_a judge_n why_o shall_v not_o all_o cause_n in_o the_o first_o instance_n be_v bring_v before_o the_o infallible_a judge_n why_o must_v we_o take_v such_o a_o round_a by_o bishop_n provincial_n metropolitan_n primate_fw-la before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o catholic_n pastor_n when_o there_o can_v be_v no_o satisfaction_n till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o infallible_a judge_n and_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n from_o he_o and_o as_o our_o author_n observe_v cui_fw-la bono_fw-mi do_v man_n appeal_v from_o one_o fallible_a creature_n to_o another_o if_o the_o right_a of_o appeal_n be_v ground_v on_o infallibility_n why_o must_v we_o appeal_v to_o those_o who_o be_v fallible_a to_o salve_v this_o which_o be_v a_o real_a difficulty_n our_o author_n will_v insinuate_v for_o he_o be_v afraid_a down_o right_a to_o own_o such_o a_o absurdity_n that_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o infallibility_n which_o if_o admit_v we_o must_v arise_v to_o the_o high_a but_o why_o not_o go_v to_o the_o high_a at_o first_o but_o rise_v by_o degree_n if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o a_o bishop_n be_v less_o fallible_a than_o a_o parish_n priest_n and_o a_o archbishop_n less_o fallible_a than_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o primate_n than_o he_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n we_o may_v expect_v the_o catholic_n pastor_n to_o be_v less_o fallible_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o what_o a_o lamentable_a ground_n be_v this_o for_o infallibility_n and_o what_o a_o lamentable_a infallibility_n be_v that_o which_o be_v only_o be_v less_o fallible_a than_o some_o other_o fallible_a creature_n but_o the_o pleasant_a conceit_n be_v that_o man_n infallibility_n increase_v with_o their_o several_a order_n and_o degree_n in_o the_o church_n that_o a_o bishop_n be_v less_o fallible_a and_o therefore_o more_o infallible_a than_o a_o priest_n and_o a_o archbishop_n than_o a_o bishop_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v grant_v that_o infallibility_n do_v not_o result_v from_o man_n personal_a ability_n but_o be_v a_o supernatural_a gift_n and_o that_o christ_n never_o give_v any_o thing_n less_o in_o such_o a_o supernatural_a way_n than_o absolute_a infallibility_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o infallibility_n man_n can_v challenge_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o promise_n must_v be_v absolute_a and_o absolute_a infallibility_n have_v no_o degree_n if_o then_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o catholic_n pastor_n be_v found_v on_o a_o divine_a promise_n it_o have_v no_o relation_n at_o all_o to_o the_o several_a degree_n of_o fallibility_n in_o other_o church_n officer_n unless_o he_o can_v show_v where_o christ_n have_v promise_v several_a degree_n of_o infallibility_n to_o the_o several_a order_n and_o degree_n of_o ecclesiastical_a minister_n and_o then_o indeed_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o he_o have_v bestow_v the_o most_o perfect_a infallibility_n upon_o the_o catholic_n pastor_n if_o it_o be_v first_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v institute_v such_o a_o catholic_n pastor_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o fallible_a depend_v upon_o man_n personal_a ability_n learning_n wisdom_n honesty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o every_o bishop_n must_v be_v less_o fallible_a than_o a_o presbyter_n and_o a_o archbishop_n less_o fallible_a than_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o primate_n than_o he_o unless_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o all_o bishop_n must_v be_v wise_a honest_a and_o more_o learned_a man_n than_o presbyter_n and_o archbishop_n than_o bishop_n and_o pope_n than_o archbishop_n and_o primate_fw-la which_o i_o believe_v be_v a_o pretty_a hard_a task_n and_o yet_o our_o wise_a author_n at_o last_o resolve_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n into_o this_o belief_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n will_v commit_v the_o great_a charge_n to_o a_o person_n of_o the_o least_o judgement_n and_o understanding_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v infallibility_n at_o last_o be_v dwindle_a away_o into_o man_n personal_a judgement_n and_o understanding_n and_o tho'_o it_o may_v be_v the_o catholic_n church_n may_v be_v careful_a in_o such_o a_o choice_n yet_o we_o can_v easy_o suppose_v that_o cardinal_n who_o may_v not_o be_v man_n of_o the_o best_a judgement_n themselves_o and_o may_v be_v divide_v by_o interest_n and_o faction_n or_o bribe_v with_o money_n or_o overawe_v by_o power_n or_o influence_v by_o friendship_n may_v not_o always_o choose_v the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o they_o do_v yet_o he_o can_v be_v no_o more_o infallible_a this_o way_n than_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v who_o after_o all_o be_v a_o fallible_a creature_n as_o all_o man_n be_v and_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o all_o sober_a and_o consider_v roman-catholic_n whether_o our_o author_n have_v not_o utter_o overthrow_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o appeal_v to_o he_o by_o what_o he_o add_v to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o betake_v ourselves_o for_o further_a light_n to_o those_o who_o the_o church_n have_v entrust_v with_o high_a power_n and_o large_a trust_n if_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o judge_v they_o not_o only_o to_o be_v holy_a wise_a and_o just_a man_n than_o those_o we_o appeal_v from_o but_o less_o fallible_a in_o judgement_n and_o errable_a in_o practice_n for_o i_o be_o confident_a few_o roman-catholic_n think_v their_o pope_n to_o be_v the_o wise_a and_o best_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o if_o their_o inerrability_n depend_v upon_o their_o wisdom_n and_o honesty_n they_o can_v think_v they_o infallible_a neither_o and_o i_o suspect_v our_o author_n have_v no_o great_a claim_n to_o infallibility_n himself_o who_o at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n when_o the_o story_n of_o pope_n be_v so_o well_o know_v shall_v found_v infallibility_n upon_o the_o wisdom_n holiness_n and_o justice_n of_o pope_n by_o this_o one_o will_v guess_v that_o he_o make_v no_o great_a matter_n of_o the_o pope_n infallibility_n that_o he_o have_v find_v out_o such_o a_o fallible_a foundation_n for_o it_o he_o say_v that_o the_o oecumenic_a pastor_n in_o his_o

human_a capacity_n may_v mistake_v and_o err_v and_o so_o do_v st_n peter_n but_o not_o fundamental_o yet_o as_o supreme_a head_n in_o his_o catholic_n capacity_n quatenus_fw-la in_fw-la

in_o the_o church_n so_o that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o be_v not_o infallible_a in_o his_o human_a capacity_n and_o yet_o he_o find_v his_o infallibility_n on_o his_o wisdom_n holiness_n and_o

infallibility_n which_o be_v none_o at_o all_o then_o his_o infallibility_n be_v not_o a_o infallibility_n in_o judge_v but_o a_o power_n to_o make_v a_o final_a determination_n whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n and_o any_o man_n may_v have_v this_o power_n as_o well_o as_o the_o pope_n especial_o since_o he_o be_v not_o entrust_v with_o this_o power_n by_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n that_o be_v too_o only_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o no_o other_o church_n entrust_v he_o with_o it_o and_o thus_o he_o quit_v all_o divine_a claim_n to_o infallibility_n and_o the_o pope_n be_v no_o more_o infallible_a than_o the_o church_n can_v make_v he_o by_o entrust_v he_o with_o a_o final_a decision_n of_o controversy_n at_o all_o adventure_n and_o therefore_o he_o add_v we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v his_o judgement_n be_v infallible_o true_a but_o be_v to_o subscribe_v to_o it_o as_o the_o last_o because_o we_o can_v have_v no_o further_o and_o

for_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n which_o be_v all_o the_o subordination_n of_o pastor_n that_o we_o allow_v of_o which_o more_o present_o yet_o at_o most_o this_o can_v only_o prove_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o ecumenical_a bishop_n and_o that_o christ_n ought_v to_o have_v appoint_v one_o but_o it_o do_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v one_o and_o therefore_o he_o who_o believe_v that_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n be_v a_o apostolical_a institution_n but_o can_v find_v no_o such_o institution_n of_o a_o universal_a bishop_n can_v never_o be_v force_v by_o any_o reason_n or_o consequence_n to_o own_o such_o a_o universal_a bishop_n we_o own_o the_o subordination_n of_o presbyter_n to_o bishop_n not_o from_o reason_n but_o institution_n and_o do_v it_o then_o hence_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v own_v the_o supremacy_n of_o a_o universal_a bishop_n for_o some_o pretend_a reason_n without_o a_o institution_n what_o be_v matter_n of_o institution_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o divine_a will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o though_o all_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v always_o great_a reason_n for_o

we_o see_v the_o command_n we_o must_v obey_v and_o though_o we_o can_v fancy_v a_o great_a many_o reason_n why_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o institution_n if_o no_o such_o institution_n appear_v we_o be_v free_a and_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v such_o a_o institution_n because_o we_o think_v there_o be_v reason_n to_o be_v assign_v why_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o thus_o in_o our_o case_n though_o we_o shall_v not_o show_v why_o christ_n shall_v institute_v the_o apostolical_a office_n and_o power_n to_o which_o ordinary_a power_n bishop_n succeed_v superior_a to_o

for_o tother_o yet_o if_o there_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n and_o no_o institution_n of_o a_o ecumenical_a pastor_n we_o may_v

i_o shall_v brief_o examine_v what_o he_o say_v he_o begin_v with_o explain_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o church_n by_o subordination_n of_o pastor_n and_o by_o a_o ecumenical_a pastor_n 1._o as_o for_o the_o first_o he_o distinguish_v between_o a_o church_n and_o the_o church_n a_o church_n be_v any_o particular_a church_n the_o church_n belong_v to_o the_o catholic_n church_n only_a why_o so_o be_v not_o a_o church_n though_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a church_n the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o church_n of_o france_n the_o church_n 62._o of_o spain_n the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o universal_a 77._o church_n no_o more_o than_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o it_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o what_o he_o will_v make_v of_o this_o i_o can_v well_o guess_v he_o say_v man_n be_v fright_v into_o conformity_n to_o the_o imposition_n of_o any_o particular_a church_n upon_o supposition_n that_o they_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n i._n e._n the_o catholic_n church_n as_o the_o people_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n believe_v but_o i_o perceive_v he_o think_v that_o our_o people_n in_o england_n be_v as_o silly_a as_o they_o be_v in_o some_o other_o place_n but_o we_o tell_v they_o and_o every_o body_n of_o common_a sense_n understand_v without_o tell_v that_o when_o we_o in_o england_n exhort_v they_o to_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n we_o mean_v only_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o he_o ought_v first_o to_o have_v prove_v that_o every_o national_a church_n have_v not_o power_n to_o give_v law_n to_o her_o own_o member_n before_o he_o have_v represent_v this_o as_o such_o a_o mere_a scarecrow_n for_o his_o distinction_n between_o a_o and_o the_o church_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o a_o church_n or_o every_o particular_a national_a or_o diooesan_n church_n if_o he_o please_v have_v not_o authority_n over_o her_o own_o member_n this_o he_o himself_o dare_v not_o deny_v and_o therefore_o distinguish_v between_o obey_v a_o church_n as_o the_o church_n and_o as_o a_o church_n but_o though_o we_o do_v grant_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o universal_a and_o a_o particular_a church_n yet_o before_o he_o have_v run_v down_o the_o authority_n of_o particular_a church_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v prove_v such_o a_o superior_a authority_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n to_o which_o all_o particular_a church_n must_v be_v subordinate_a but_o here_o his_o author_n fail_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n fail_v his_o reader_n 2._o by_o subordination_n of_o pastor_n he_o understand_v the_o stand_n of_o several_a man_n in_o distinct_a order_n or_o degree_n of_o office_n one_o above_o another_o or_o under_o another_o in_o subordinate_a rank_n this_o he_o

subordination_n in_o the_o ascend_a part_n above_o a_o national_a church_n and_o pastor_n i_o have_v already_o defend_v my_o way_n which_o this_o author_n i_o find_v know_v nothing_o of_o no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v what_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o protestant_a prelate_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o though_o we_o do_v own_o a_o subordination_n of_o presbyter_n to_o bishop_n yet_o we_o own_v no_o subordination_n of_o one_o bishop_n to_o another_o but_o do_v assert_v with_o st_n cyprian_n that_o all_o bishop_n have_v original_o the_o same_o authority_n and_o power_n what_o the_o meaning_n be_v of_o metropolitical_a and_o national_a combination_n of_o church_n and_o how_o far_o we_o be_v from_o set_v up_o a_o national_a supreme_a pastor_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o national_a infallibility_n as_o he_o insinuate_v i_o have_v already_o show_v at_o large_a though_o i_o think_v there_o never_o be_v a_o more_o senseless_a suggestion_n that_o no_o church_n can_v exercise_v any_o authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n nor_o punish_v the_o disobedient_a without_o pretend_v to_o infallibility_n which_o will_v overthrow_v all_o government_n in_o the_o world_n unless_o prince_n and_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v infallible_a too_o and_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v of_o it_o be_v as_o absurd_a to_o the_o full_a that_o its_o the_o most_o
