this_o same_o opinion_n of_o inerrability_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o error_n as_o it_o be_v even_o now_o in_o the_o romish_a papacy_n their_o presumption_n of_o not_o err_v be_v so_o far_o

aught_o to_o speak_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n and_o judge_v controversy_n thereby_o and_o then_o as_o the_o thessalonian_n hear_v saint_n paul_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o we_o

will_v ever_o cause_v unity_n and_o so_o be_v we_o come_v to_o the_o four_o point_n and_o indeed_o the_o point_n most_o proper_a to_o the_o present_a question_n though_o the_o place_n be_v not_o proper_a to_o prove_v the_o popish_a unity_n which_o this_o author_n will_v pick_v out_o of_o it_o for_o whereas_o to_o raise_v this_o unity_n out_o of_o this_o text_n he_o will_v thereby_o enforce_v

be_v to_o be_v account_v a_o heathen_a be_v sin_v against_o a_o brother_n now_o sin_v against_o a_o brother_n be_v plain_o forbid_v by_o scripture_n be_v contrary_a to_o that_o royal_a law_n of_o love_n which_o command_v a_o man_n to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o so_o that_o not_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n in_o a_o case_n of_o sin_v against_o a_o brother_n be_v not_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n advise_v or_o judge_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v a_o not_o hear_v of_o the_o scripture_n speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o see_v how_o unhandsome_o arise_v the_o inference_n of_o this_o author_n that_o he_o that_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n judge_v according_a to_o scripture_n may_v not_o appeal_v to_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v he_o may_v not_o appeal_v from_o scripture_n to_o scripture_n but_o much_o more_o right_a and_o reasonable_a be_v this_o consequence_n 2._o that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v wilful_o not_o hearken_v to_o the_o church_n in_o a_o case_n thus_o evident_o judge_v by_o scripture_n let_v such_o a_o one_o be_v account_v as_o a_o heathen_a and_o indeed_o i_o can_v scarce_o think_v that_o if_o this_o man_n who_o be_v question_v and_o accuse_v by_o his_o brother_n be_v guiltless_a and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v acquit_v that_o this_o author_n himself_o will_v have_v he_o take_v for_o a_o heathen_a be_v judge_v by_o the_o church_n against_o god_n law_n and_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o offender_n but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o 9_o

of_o two_o church_n judge_v one_o against_o another_o be_v prevent_v and_o remove_v through_o this_o steadfast_a rule_n of_o unity_n for_o two_o church_n judge_v one_o case_n according_a to_o one_o right_a rule_n and_o such_o be_v the_o scripture_n can_v pronounce_v of_o one_o case_n more_o than_o one_o judgement_n and_o so_o the_o man_n who_o he_o will_v affright_v be_v put_v out_o of_o fear_n for_o be_v toss_v between_o two_o damnation_n by_o two_o contrary_a judgement_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o right_a judgement_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o but_o one_o damnation_n to_o be_v fear_v which_o any_o man_n may_v avoid_v by_o hear_v the_o church_n judge_v uniform_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n for_o if_o the_o church_n make_v a_o man_n a_o heathen_a against_o
