this_o be_v we_o do_v not_o dispute_v a_o reverence_n to_o council_n but_o we_o can_v grant_v a_o undisputed_a reception_n of_o whatsoever_o be_v deliver_v by_o they_o in_o such_o determination_n we_o

which_o yet_o in_o effect_n you_o have_v have_v before_o but_o to_o view_v the_o moment_n thereof_o the_o better_a let_v i_o put_v what_o you_o will_v have_v into_o some_o form_n with_o all_o

faith_n as_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o assumption_n according_a to_o the_o text_n ephes_n 4.5_o than_o we_o deny_v the_o proposition_n for_o faith_n there_o be_v not_o to_o be_v

they_o for_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n there_o depend_v not_o upon_o man_n profession_n but_o upon_o coherence_n with_o itself_o and_o the_o exclusion_n of_o any_o other_o as_o towards_o

of_o scripture_n we_o answer_v first_o you_o see_v here_o how_o your_o opinion_n do_v miserable_o betray_v you_o to_o hard_a thought_n of_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o of_o god_n in_o it_o be_v

what_o can_v we_o desire_v more_o of_o scripture_n in_o regard_n of_o sufficiency_n to_o its_o end_n then_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n what_o can_v we_o

as_o that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o people_n may_v discern_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o towards_o a_o particular_a sense_n yet_o the_o man_n of_o god_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o

that_o saint_n paul_n by_o the_o man_n of_o god_n here_o intend_v the_o pope_n or_o any_o one_o infallible_a judge_n and_o therefore_o your_o postu●gre_n or_o a_o infallible_a judge_n be_v

there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o certain_a knowledge_n as_o unto_o salvation_n and_o this_o you_o afterward_o come_v to_o when_o you_o take_v care_n to_o save_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o church_n by_o a_o distinction_n that_o it_o can_v teach_v any_o damnative_a error_n so_o than_o it_o may_v err_v but_o not_o teach_v damnative_a error_n the_o scripture_n teach_v all_o thing_n necessary_a

whereas_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sense_n of_o scripture_n principal_o intend_v which_o be_v express_v sometime_o proper_o sometime_o improper_o as_o for_o the_o mystical_a divinity_n you_o know_v

you_o may_v consider_v it_o be_v necessary_a if_o you_o will_v believe_v your_o angelical_a doctor_n because_o since_o our_o knowledge_n come_v here_o by_o sense_n we_o can_v for_o this_o state_n

the_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o church_n determine_v as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a well_o then_o and_o so_o have_v the_o scripture_n which_o you_o

scripture_n and_o first_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o extreme_a unction_n by_o saint_n james_n we_o say_v if_o you_o say_v right_a that_o it_o be_v clear_a against_o we_o by_o scripture_n than_o the_o scripture_n have_v decide_v this_o question_n than_o the_o scripture_n can_v judge_v and_o end_v controversy_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o beginning_n hereof_o you_o speak_v very_o wary_o and_o discreet_o it_o seem_v if_o by_o this_o term_n you_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o evident_o declare_v against_o we_o in_o scripture_n than_o we_o need_v say_v no_o more_o as_o to_o this_o

why_o so_o mark_v if_o his_o ground_n be_v not_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o because_o say_v he_o i_o have_v believe_v the_o gospel_n itself_o upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o catholic_n can_v he_o more_o

who_o teach_v i_o have_v believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o these_o command_v i_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v thou_o and_o saint_n austin_n go_v so_o far_o upon_o this_o ground_n as_o a_o ground_n

they_o shall_v weaken_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o catholic_n but_o what_o do_v you_o think_v will_v follow_v i_o pray_v note_v it_o well_o their_o authority_n be_v weaken_v and_o show_v once_o

ground_n of_o his_o belief_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v their_o infallible_a authority_n as_o not_o only_o these_o but_o also_o the_o next_o word_n show_v manifest_o wherefore_o say_v he_o if_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v find_v nothing_o that_o be_v evident_a to_o prove_v the_o apostleship_n of_o manichaeus_n than_o i_o will_v believe_v the_o catholic_n rather_o then_o you._n but_o if_o you_o shall_v read_v i_o out_o of_o the_o gospel_n something_o that_o be_v evident_a to_o prove_v manichaeus_n a_o apostle_n than_o i_o will_v neither_o believe_v the_o catholic_n nor_o thou_o why_o so_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o catholic_n because_o they_o who_o doctrine_n i_o think_v infallible_a have_v lie_v to_o i_o concern_v your_o manichaean_o but_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v thou_o even_o when_o thou_o cite_v clear_a scripture_n for_o of_o this_o case_n he_o speak_v and_o why_o so_o because_o thou_o do_v cite_v i_o that_o scripture_n to_o which_o scripture_n i_o have_v now_o believe_v upon_o their_o authority_n who_o have_v lie_v unto_o i_o thus_o he_o can_v he_o more_o clear_o say_v that_o if_o once_o in_o one_o single_a lie_n he_o shall_v find_v the_o church_n

all_o i_o have_v say_v for_o it_o follow_v but_o god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n have_v so_o infallible_a authority_n for_o it_o as_o the_o church_n be_v yet_o believe_v this_o gospel_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o i_o can_v believe_v thou_o teach_v i_o manichaeus_n to_o be_v a_o apostle_n for_o we_o know_v which_o apostle_n it_o be_v who_o be_v choose_v in_o the_o

which_o book_n of_o the_o act_n i_o must_v necessary_o believe_v if_o i_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o why_o because_o the_o catholic_a authority_n do_v in_o like_a manner_n commend_v both_o these_o

by_o scripture_n in_o your_o ten_o number_n you_o give_v we_o another_o case_n not_o umpired_a by_o scripture_n whether_o the_o king_n be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o you_o say_v we_o

it_o may_v seem_v of_o your_o objection_n and_o yet_o second_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v the_o king_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n as_o you_o pretend_v
first_o that_o of_o the_o scripture_n or_o that_o of_o the_o church_n here_o the_o church_n be_v opposite_a to_o scripture_n if_o it_o pretend_v to_o be_v first_o for_o both_o can_v be_v first_o therefore_o the_o first_o axiom_n in_o divinity_n and_o consequent_o of_o divine_a faith_n must_v be_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o this_o scripture_n be_v

credibility_n of_o the_o church_n for_o aught_o be_v yet_o prove_v we_o shall_v have_v no_o divine_a faith_n in_o your_o 14._o number_n you_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v

whether_o the_o church_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o book_n canonical_a and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o follow_v you_o and_o do_v say_v second_o that_o it_o seem_v then_o the_o question_n be_v only_o who_o shall_v be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n to_o discuss_v and_o decide_v the_o debate_n which_o do_v arise_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n so_o then_o again_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n as_o the_o many_o necessary_a thing_n be_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v believe_v without_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o

proceed_v not_o effectual_o to_o your_o conclusion_n unless_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o some_o passage_n in_o scripture_n do_v convince_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n herein_o second_o that_o we_o be_v infallible_o certain_a thereof_o and_o three_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v it_o these_o particular_n be_v yet_o depend_v and_o without_o their_o affirmation_n we_o may_v affirm_v that_o god_n have_v well_o enough_o provide_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o be_v

that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o direction_n of_o the_o pastor_n who_o although_o we_o can_v absolute_o believe_v yet_o do_v not_o impudent_o oppose_v yet_o you_o will_v say_v if_o christ_n have_v

of_o scripture_n be_v we_o direct_v unto_o salvation_n second_o we_o turn_v the_o mouth_n of_o your_o argument_n against_o you_o if_o christ_n have_v intend_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n it_o import_v so_o exceed_o he_o will_v have_v tell_v we_o so_o clear_o and_o infallible_o which_o he_o have_v not_o do_v he_o tell_v we_o all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o

we_o without_o actual_a decision_n of_o scripture_n and_o now_o sir_n let_v i_o have_v leave_n to_o speak_v affectionate_o to_o you_o do_v you_o not_o see_v what_o dis-respect_n of_o scripture_n if_o

your_o infallible_a judge_n second_o the_o prophecy_n be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n which_o in_o proper_a the_o jew_n have_v not_o but_o in_o the_o time_n past_a to_o signify_v

of_o the_o church_n also_o must_v i_o observe_v your_o ingenuity_n again_o here_o that_o you_o do_v profess_v it_o as_o most_o true_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o sufficient_a ground_n

you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n in_o that_o you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o faith_n therefore_o must_v you_o expunge_v tradition_n this_o rule_n of_o scripture_n

in_o application_n to_o some_o point_n of_o question_n six_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v consider_v here_o a_o possibility_n of_o recrimination_n with_o more_o advantage_n against_o the_o adversary_n for_o how_o many_o of_o they_o do_v err_v in_o follow_v the_o church_n and_o be_v more_o prone_a to_o err_v because_o the_o church_n be_v more_o variable_a and_o their_o tradition_n which_o they_o

about_o temporal_a power_n whether_o the_o pope_n have_v any_o then_o whether_o direct_a or_o indirect_a how_o many_o of_o they_o hot_o maintain_v contrary_a opinion_n in_o the_o council_n of_o
