pope_n pronounce_v from_o or_o without_o his_o chair_n so_o that_o what_o he_o decree_v in_o the_o former_a way_n be_v infallible_a though_o in_o the_o latter_a he_o may_v deceive_v and_o be_v

and_o the_o same_o man_n without_o any_o fear_n or_o compulsion_n can_v contradict_v himself_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o matter_n again_o the_o pope_n who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o chair_n may_v deceive_v aught_o to_o advise_v with_o himself_o as_o sit_v in_o the_o chair_n lest_o he_o fall_v into_o a_o error_n or_o the_o cardinal_n if_o they_o will_v have_v this_o holy_a father_n to_o be_v always_o infallible_a shall_v bind_v the_o good_a old_a man_n to_o the_o chair_n with_o chain_n as_o prometheus_n be_v tie_v to_o caucasus_n that_o he_o may_v never_o be_v move_v out_o of_o this_o infallible_a seat_n beside_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o pope_n even_o pronounce_v from_o the_o chair_n have_v frequent_o err_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o example_n of_o john_n the_o xxiii_o

of_o moses_n chair_n there_o can_v nothing_o else_o be_v understand_v than_o the_o holy_a scripture_n itself_o and_o if_o the_o pope_n pronounce_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n thereof_o we_o shall_v

where_o and_o upon_o who_o he_o list_v other_o more_o sharp-sighted_a observe_v the_o foolishness_n of_o this_o distinction_n have_v devise_v another_o namely_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v in_o a_o question_n of_o right_n though_o he_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o this_o also_o be_v a_o break_a reed_n upon_o which_o if_o a_o man_n lean_a it_o will_v go_v into_o his_o

five_o article_n for_o first_o when_o the_o pope_n anathematize_v a_o man_n he_o consider_v he_o as_o believe_v so_o and_o so_o nor_o do_v it_o appear_v how_o he_o that_o be_v free_a from_o all_o possible_a error_n in_o matter_n of_o right_a can_v be_v subject_a to_o error_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o when_o he_o pronounce_v concern_v the_o sense_n of_o any_o book_n be_v a_o infallible_a

this_o and_o no_o other_o be_v the_o author_n meaning_n 2._o see_v law_n prescribe_v to_o matter_n of_o fact_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o he_o who_o be_v infallible_a in_o matter_n of_o right_n can_v err_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n 3._o right_n do_v sometime_o arise_v from_o fact_n therefore_o that_o which_o before_o be_v a_o question_n of_o fact_n afterward_o turn_v to_o a_o question_n of_o right_n the_o pope_n may_v give_v a_o infallible_a judgement_n concern_v it_o 4._o if_o this_o be_v true_a the_o pope_n can_v condemn_v nor_o anathematise_v a_o heretic_n his_o judgement_n be_v

difficulty_n they_o involve_v themselves_o in_o who_o place_n the_o church_n and_o its_o infallibility_n in_o the_o pope_n alone_o now_o follow_v the_o three_o and_o last_o opinion_n of_o the_o

have_v his_o infallibility_n from_o the_o council_n or_o the_o council_n from_o the_o pope_n whether_o if_o the_o pope_n be_v absent_a his_o legate_n have_v the_o same_o infallibility_n that_o he_o himself_o will_v have_v if_o present_a if_o so_o whether_o he_o may_v not_o as_o easy_o delegate_n this_o infallibility_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o council_n as_o to_o his_o legate_n whether_o
