lutheran_n to_o be_v more_o cold_a and_o the_o brunt_n almost_o pass_v over_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o expound_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o tridentine_a counsel_n and_o to_o construe_v all_o point_n to_o as_o gross_a sense_n as_o they_o be_v ever_o before_o but_o now_o they_o begin_v to_o incline_v to_o we_o again_o insomuch_o that_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n late_a divinity_n reader_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o learnede_a divine_a of_o that_o church_n which_o now_o live_v in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o controversy_n lecture_n though_o where_o he_o deliver_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n he_o bring_v what_o may_v be_v bring_v on_o their_o side_n for_o fashion_n sake_n that_o he_o may_v avoid_v all_o suspicion_n of_o heresy_n with_o they_o yet_o he_o handle_v his_o matter_n so_o cunning_o and_o so_o doubtful_o that_o in_o his_o conclusion_n he_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o many_o thing_n although_o in_o diverse_a term_n wherein_o his_o predecessor_n utter_o dissent_v from_o us._n and_o in_o many_o thing_n he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o far_o as_o he_o dare_v a_o protestant_n or_o at_o the_o least_o not_o a_o papist_n if_o we_o take_v papistry_n to_o be_v that_o which_o before_o it_o be_v and_o whosoever_o do_v observe_v he_o well_o shall_v find_v how_o he_o discourse_v of_o many_o thing_n superfluous_a like_o one_o which_o be_v more_o desirous_a to_o deceive_v the_o time_n to_o fill_v up_o the_o page_n with_o variety_n of_o read_v multitude_n of_o father_n and_o citation_n of_o place_n then_o to_o refute_v us._n yet_o his_o volume_n be_v allow_v by_o the_o inquisition_n and_o he_o be_v reward_v for_o his_o learned_a work_n therefore_o i_o say_v papistry_n be_v new_o correct_v and_o refine_a they_o hold_v the_o same_o conclusion_n in_o general_a term_n which_o they_o do_v but_o they_o hold_v they_o not_o as_o they_o do_v they_o seek_v out_o new_a defence_n as_o if_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v to_o the_o old_a &_o come_v near_o to_o we_o in_o judgement_n every_o day_n for_o so_o it_o have_v please_v god_n in_o this_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o lighten_v their_o darkness_n and_o to_o quicken_v the_o dulness_n of_o their_o understanding_n touch_v the_o first_o if_o they_o will_v understand_v what_o heresy_n be_v they_o must_v distinguish_v between_o heresy_n and_o error_n for_o every_o heresy_n be_v a_o error_n but_o every_o error_n be_v not_o a_o heresy_n as_o there_o be_v one_o error_n in_o manner_n and_o so_o every_o heinous_a offence_n be_v call_v a_o crime_n as_o the_o adultery_n of_o david_n but_o such_o offence_n as_o be_v commit_v only_o upon_o infirmity_n be_v call_v by_o the_o general_a name_n of_o error_n so_o there_o be_v another_o error_n in_o doctrine_n and_o every_o man_n which_o hold_v a_o wrong_a opinion_n be_v say_v to_o err_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v which_o suppose_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v 11._o act_n 1._o act_n 11._o not_o to_o be_v publish_v to_o the_o gentile_n and_o these_o error_n be_v no_o heresy_n but_o that_o which_o be_v heresy_n be_v more_o dangerous_a and_o of_o a_o high_a nature_n it_o be_v a_o old_a say_n errare_fw-la possum_fw-la hereticus_fw-la esse_fw-la nolo_fw-la i_o may_v easy_o err_v as_o all_o man_n have_v do_v but_o a_o heretic_n i_o will_v not_o be_v i_o define_v a_o heresy_n in_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v a_o error_n stiff_o and_o obstinate_o defend_v and_o maintain_v not_o by_o a_o consequent_a but_o direct_o impugn_v some_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o example_n the_o disciple_n 15_o act._n 15_o err_v when_o they_o hold_v it_o necessary_a to_o be_v circumcise_v yet_o be_v not_o heretic_n because_o they_o be_v not_o obstinate_a for_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o after_o due_a consultation_n be_v have_v they_o consent_v to_o the_o truth_n again_o that_o opinion_n do_v not_o direct_o impugn_v faith_n but_o only_o by_o a_o consequent_a for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n behold_v i_o paul_n say_v unto_o you_o if_o 5_o gal._n 5_o you_o be_v circumcise_v christ_n shall_v profit_v you_o nothing_o for_o i_o testify_v again_o to_o every_o one_o which_o be_v circumcise_v that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n then_o if_o we_o allow_v of_o circumcision_n we_o hold_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o by_o a_o consequent_a deny_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n by_o who_o death_n only_o that_o law_n be_v abolish_v but_o arrius_n be_v condemn_v for_o a_o heretic_n in_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a for_o these_o two_o cause_n first_o he_o defend_v his_o error_n obstinate_o until_o his_o belly_n burst_v and_o bowel_n gush_v out_o not_o yield_v to_o the_o learned_a bishop_n of_o the_o world_n which_o convict_v he_o by_o manifest_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n second_o he_o deny_v the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n contrary_a to_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n which_o have_v and_o i_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n paul_n which_o say_v he_o be_v mighty_o declare_v 1_o rom._n 1_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o saint_n john_n which_o say_v god_n be_v the_o word_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n therefore_o to_o deny_v the_o faith_n direct_o as_o to_o say_v christ_n have_v not_o yet_o suffer_v and_o another_o thing_n to_o deny_v it_o by_o a_o consequent_a as_o they_o which_o hold_v a_o necessity_n of_o circumcision_n but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o neither_o hold_v any_o opinion_n obstinate_o because_o we_o will_v recant_v &_o subscribe_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o they_o can_v disprove_v we_o by_o the_o scripture_n neither_o do_v we_o impugn_v any_o article_n of_o faith_n because_o we_o hold_v the_o creed_n of_o the_o apostle_n of_o athanasius_n of_o nice_a of_o ephesus_n of_o constantinople_n which_o the_o papist_n also_o do_v hold_v and_o the_o same_o bible_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o they_o and_o we_o expound_v all_o these_o as_o all_o godly_a and_o learned_a antiquity_n have_v expound_v they_o before_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v unjust_o charge_v with_o heresy_n that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o propose_v no_o church_n can_v be_v condemn_v and_o adjudge_v heretical_a by_o any_o private_a censure_n but_o it_o must_v be_v public_a therefore_o they_o allege_v for_o our_o condemnation_n the_o decree_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n against_o the_o authority_n of_o which_o council_n we_o take_v these_o just_a exception_n first_o they_o call_v it_o a_o general_a council_n as_o if_o almost_o all_o the_o divine_n of_o the_o world_n have_v be_v assemble_v there_o let_v we_o therefore_o number_n how_o many_o be_v present_a they_o reckon_v for_o the_o credit_n of_o that_o council_n as_o present_v six_o cardinal_n four_o legate_n three_o patriarch_n two_o and_o thirty_o archbishop_n two_o hundred_o twenty_o eight_o bishop_n and_o five_o abbat_n we_o deny_v not_o but_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o council_n so_o many_o be_v procure_v to_o be_v there_o but_o at_o the_o beginning_n when_o matter_n be_v propound_v at_o the_o time_n when_o point_n of_o religion_n be_v argue_v and_o debate_v they_o exceed_v not_o the_o number_n of_o forty_o bishop_n four_o legate_n very_o small_a assembly_n to_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o general_a council_n to_o consider_v of_o so_o many_o weighty_a cause_n only_o therefore_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n the_o pope_n see_v almost_o all_o bishop_n to_o forbear_v come_v thither_o do_v create_v new_a bishop_n to_o make_v up_o a_o number_n and_o grace_v the_o council_n with_o their_o presence_n and_o to_o subscribe_v to_o all_o conclusion_n for_o form_n sake_n which_o they_o do_v neither_o here_o argue_v by_o other_o nor_o yet_o well_o consider_v of_o themselves_o therefore_o let_v indifferency_n be_v the_o judge_n between_o they_o and_o we_o whether_o so_o rash_a a_o censure_n be_v to_o stand_v in_o force_n second_o who_o be_v there_o only_o our_o adversary_n which_o 7_o joh._n 7_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a religion_n we_o be_v not_o present_a so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o by_o we_o as_o the_o pharisy_n do_v by_o our_o saviour_n contrary_a to_o law_n contemn_v we_o in_o our_o absence_n and_o our_o cause_n be_v not_o hear_v but_o also_o the_o same_o man_n be_v both_o our_o accuser_n and_o our_o judge_n if_o you_o ask_v a_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v not_o there_o have_v we_o letter_n of_o safe_a conduct_n either_o can_v we_o have_v trust_v to_o such_o conduct_n if_o it_o have_v be_v grant_v what_o if_o they_o shall_v have_v falsify_v their_o promise_n
