exercise_n of_o reason_n and_o judgement_n be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o improve_v man_n knowledge_n and_o here_o i_o distinguish_v between_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o a_o infallible_a judge_n the_o first_o teach_v infallible_o but_o yet_o he_o that_o learn_v must_v use_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n unless_o a_o man_n can_v learn_v without_o it_o but_o the_o second_o usurp_v

understanding_n which_o be_v to_o unsoul_v all_o mankind_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o though_o there_o have_v be_v infallible_a teacher_n as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yet_o none_o ever_o pretend_v to_o be_v infallible_a judge_n but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n there_o never_o can_v be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n to_o who_o i_o must_v submit_v my_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n without_o examination_n because_o i_o can_v know_v that_o he_o teach_v infallible_o unless_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o he_o teach_v nothing_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o any_o natural_a or_o reveal_v law_n and_o that_o i_o can_v know_v unless_o i_o may_v judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o revelation_n for_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a if_o he_o contradict_v any_o natural_a or_o reveal_v law_n i_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o in_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o in_o christ_n himself_n for_o when_o christ_n appear_v there_o be_v a_o write_a law_n and_o all_o the_o miracle_n he_o wrought_v can_v not_o have_v prove_v he_o a_o true_a prophet_n have_v he_o contradict_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o he_o appeal_v to_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n to_o bear_v testimony_n to_o his_o person_n and_o doctrine_n and_o then_o miracle_n give_v authority_n to_o any_o new_a revelation_n he_o make_v of_o god_n will_n when_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v not_o contradict_v the_o old._n the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o god_n can_v contradict_v himself_o and_o therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o new_a prophet_n even_o of_o christ_n himself_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v and_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v to_o this_o day_n by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o be_v certain_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n yet_o man_n be_v to_o judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n before_o they_o believe_v and_o he_o do_v not_o require_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o their_o reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a

bless_v for_o evermore_o even_o when_o own_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o from_o we_o christian_n can_v exact_v a_o submission_n to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n without_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o principle_n of_o humane_a reason_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o his_o answer_n the_o rest_n be_v rave_v and_o senseless_a harangue_n but_o the_o fallacy_n of_o all_o this_o lie_v in_o a_o few_o word_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o even_o when_o own_v the_o son_n of_o son_n even_o by_o we_o christian_n for_o those_o who_o own_v he_o the_o son_n of_o god_n no_o doubt_n will_v submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n and_o therefore_o all_o profess_a christian_n must_v do_v so_o but_o that_o which_o i_o say_v be_v this_o that_o no_o man_n can_v nor_o to_o this_o day_n can_v own_v he_o upon_o wise_a consideration_n to_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n till_o he_o be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o neither_o contradict_v the_o plain_a light_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o lâ—w_n of_o moses_n and_o therefore_o thus_o far_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v his_o doctrine_n but_o when_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o contradict_v no_o former_a revelation_n and_o confirm_v his_o authority_n by_o miracle_n than_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v any_o new_a revelation_n he_o make_v upon_o his_o own_o

nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n i_o find_v he_o have_v contradict_v neither_o and_o by_o the_o great_a miracle_n he_o wrought_v i_o be_o satisfy_v he_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n than_o i_o own_v he_o for_o such_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n or_o judge_v if_o he_o please_v that_o i_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n except_v the_o case_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o believe_v it_o and_o submit_v to_o he_o and_o in_o these_o case_n i_o submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n without_o examination_n i_o receive_v all_o his_o dictate_v as_o divine_a oracle_n i_o do_v not_o wonder_v the_o jesuit_n be_v so_o much_o disturb_v at_o this_o for_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n himself_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v such_o a_o infallible_a judge_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v they_o must_v for_o shame_n give_v up_o this_o kind_n of_o infallibility_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o confute_v this_o principle_n thorough_o that_o he_o may_v understand_v my_o mind_n plain_o i_o will_v reduce_v all_o to_o some_o few_o proposition_n which_o he_o may_v try_v his_o skill_n upon_o when_o he_o please_v 1._o that_o no_o prophet_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o contradiction_n to_o such_o plain_a and_o evident_a principle_n of_o

that_o reason_n moses_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o every_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o prophet_n who_o make_v a_o public_a revelation_n of_o god_n will_n to_o the_o world._n 3._o that_o succeed_a prophet_n who_o confirm_v their_o authority_n with_o miracle_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o all_o new_a revelation_n they_o make_v which_o neither_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n nor_o any_o former_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v absolute_o to_o be_v believe_v when_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o neither_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n 4._o when_o the_o revelation_n be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a and_o have_v no_o new_a addition_n to_o be_v make_v to_o it_o as_o the_o gospel-revelation_n be_v how_o infallible_a soever_o any_o teacher_n may_v be_v we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o nothing_o which_o either_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o stand_a revelation_n or_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o revelation_n and_o this_o show_v we_o how_o far_o we_o be_v to_o submit_v our_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n

4._o i_o ask_v once_o more_o whether_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o must_v not_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o any_o man_n can_v believe_v

the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n then_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o they_o must_v allow_v of_o the_o protestant_a resolution_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o resolve_v my_o faith_n into_o
