for_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v their_o only_a supreme_a rule_n be_v of_o itself_o subject_a to_o the_o several_a misinterpretation_n of_o every_o private_a spirit_n second_o it_o be_v one_o

the_o head_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n or_o with_o any_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n 7._o why_o do_v you_o call_v it_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n we_o do_v not_o call_v it_o roman_a as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o catholic_a church_n beside_o the_o roman_a catholic_a neither_o do_v we_o call_v it_o so_o as_o if_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a diocese_n it_o be_v only_o one_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o we_o call_v it_o so_o because_o all_o the_o catholic_n of_o the_o world_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o particular_a church_n as_o in_o their_o general_a pastor_n and_o so_o the_o word_n roman_n be_v not_o limit_v to_o the_o particular_a territory_n of_o rome_n but_o it_o do_v signify_v a_o property_n belong_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o wit_n that_o relation_n which_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o acknowledge_v towards_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o to_o their_o head_n appoint_v by_o christ_n to_o govern_v his_o whole_a flock_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n roman_n take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v of_o no_o less_o extent_n than_o the_o church_n itself_o so_o that_o he_o who_o be_v not_o a_o roman_a catholic_a be_v no_o catholic_a at_o all_o 8._o be_v it_o sufficient_a to_o make_v one_o a_o catholic_a in_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o he_o b●…eve_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o the_o catholic_a church_n believe_v no_o unless_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v also_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o belief_n for_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v any_o point_n upon_o no_o other_o ground_n but_o only_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o his_o private_a judgement_n to_o be_v contain_v in_o scripture_n or_o to_o be_v in_o itself_o true_a yea_o though_o he_o shall_v believe_v in_o this_o manner_n every_o thing_n that_o the_o church_n believe_v yet_o he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o catholic_a and_o so_o may_v be_v damn_v for_o want_v of_o faith_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v to_o believe_v a_o thing_n because_o god_n reveal_v it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a way_n without_o a_o miracle_n whereby_o god_n his_o revelation_n come_v to_o we_o but_o only_o by_o the_o church_n proposition_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o can_v believe_v any_o thing_n certain_o upon_o the_o motive_n of_o god_n his_o revelation_n unless_o our_o belief_n be_v likewise_o ground_v upon_o the_o church_n proposition_n wherefore_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o catholic_a must_v consist_v in_o submit_v his_o understanding_n and_o adhere_v to_o the_o church_n and_o in_o believe_v every_o thing_n because_o she_o propose_v it_o for_o all_o other_o persuasion_n of_o our_o own_o discourse_n be_v resolve_v at_o last_o into_o our_o particular_a judgement_n or_o else_o into_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o particular_a man_n and_o so_o can_v breed_v in_o we_o catholic_a and_o divine_a faith_n but_o only_a opinion_n or_o human_a belief_n 9_o what_o sign_n be_v there_o whereby_o to_o know_v whether_o one_o belief_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o catholic_a church_n proposition_n or_o no_o the_o best_a sign_n be_v when_o you_o do_v without_o difficulty_n assent_v to_o any_o thing_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v propose_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o least_o doubt_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o you_o know_v to_o be_v propose_v by_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o your_o belief_n in_o all_o the_o rest_n rely_v upon_o some_o other_o ground_n which_o sway_n more_o with_o you_o than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o else_o that_o you_o have_v no_o firm_a belief_n at_o all_o but_o only_o a_o opinion_n or_o conjecture_n ground_v upon_o your_o own_o discourse_n 10._o who_o be_v a_o good_a
divine_a belief_n surpass_v the_o force_n of_o our_o nature_n so_o that_o we_o can_v any_o way_n deserve_v it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v inspire_v it_o into_o we_o through_o his_o own_o mere_a bounty_n and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o theological_a gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v dispose_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o obtain_v the_o rest_n 5._o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o enlighten_v our_o understanding_n by_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n 6._o why_o do_v you_o say_v deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o church_n because_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v before_o we_o can_v have_v catholic_a faith_n but_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o church_n which_o propose_v to_o we_o those_o truth_n which_o god_n do_v reveal_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v communicate_v they_o to_o other_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v to_o themselves_o in_o the_o church_n and_o they_o again_o to_o other_o and_o so_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 7._o who_o be_v those_o that_o succeed_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n they_o be_v the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n who_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n leave_v behind_o they_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o doctrine_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v teach_v and_o preach_v before_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v what_o the_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o catholic_a church_n deliver_v to_o we_o that_o same_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v to_o she_o 8._o how_o be_v we_o sure_a of_o this_o first_o because_o our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v assure_v we_o so_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o his_o church_n so_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o supreme_a and_o certain_a guide_n to_o which_o christ_n direct_v we_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a religion_n second_o because_o abstract_v from_o supernatural_a mean_n reason_n itself_o do_v convince_v as_o much_o for_o the_o church_n be_v universal_a that_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o christian_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v propose_v a_o falsehood_n see_v that_o the_o christian_n disperse_v in_o so_o many_o country_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v universality_n can_v meet_v together_o and_o agree_v to_o frame_v a_o lie_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o consent_v together_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v deliver_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v so_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o divine_n call_v tradition_n which_o descend_v from_o father_n to_o son_n in_o all_o nation_n where_o the_o catholic_a faith_n be_v profess_v and_o when_o it_o be_v contradict_v or_o call_v in_o to_o doubt_v the_o question_n be_v decide_v by_o a_o general_a council_n which_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o catholic_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n gather_v together_o out_o of_o all_o part_n where_o the_o church_n be_v disperse_v and_o to_o this_o i_o mean_v to_o universal_a tradition_n no_o heresy_n lay_v claim_v and_o yet_o religion_n be_v so_o ground_v upon_o it_o that_o even_o all_o heretic_n must_v acknowledge_v this_o same_o authority_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o scripture_n so_o that_o we_o see_v how_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o church_n be_v even_o in_o ground_n of_o nature_n and_o abstract_v from_o all_o supernatural_a advantage_n as_o great_a a_o warrant_n as_o can_v be_v that_o what_o the_o church_n teach_v be_v that_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n of_o christ_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n have_v teach_v before_o last_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o what_o the_o church_n say_v be_v true_a not_o only_o because_o she_o be_v universal_a but_o also_o because_o she_o be_v invest_v with_o all_o the_o other_o motive_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o beget_v belief_n as_o santity_n unity_n antiquity_n
