be_v catholic_a and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v catholic_a the_o church_n define_v it_o to_o be_v catholic_a shall_v have_v err_v therefore_o it_o be_v catholic_a and_o reveal_v by_o god_n before_o the_o church_n define_v it_o wherefore_o the_o church_n can_v make_v a_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o that_o which_o before_o be_v true_a faith_n but_o not_o certain_o know_v to_o we_o the_o church_n by_o her_o definition_n make_v it_o know_v to_o us._n 108_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o have_v this_o from_o the_o church_n to_o know_v certain_o which_o be_v divine_a scripture_n and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o account_v that_o to_o be_v divine_a scripture_n which_o the_o church_n have_v define_v to_o be_v divine_a and_o although_o she_o do_v certain_o define_v and_o can_v err_v yet_o she_o do_v not_o make_v by_o her_o definition_n that_o scripture_n to_o be_v divine_a for_o therefore_o she_o have_v declare_v it_o to_o be_v divine_a because_o it_o be_v true_o divine_a and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v before_o divine_a scripture_n the_o church_n will_v not_o have_v declare_v it_o to_o be_v divine_a wherefore_o although_o that_o assertion_n which_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o catholic_a faith_n and_o to_o b●e_v account_v heresy_n be_v also_o heresy_n before_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o before_o the_o church_n do_v define_v it_o the_o maintainer_n of_o that_o opinion_n be_v not_o call_v heretic_n because_o it_o be_v not_o know_v whether_o that_o opinion_n be_v contrary_a to_o catholic_a faith_n but_o now_o after_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n they_o shall_v be_v call_v heretic_n whosoever_o shall_v approve_v and_o maintain_v that_o opinion_n not_o for_o that_o their_o opinion_n be_v not_o before_o false_a contrary_a to_o catholic_a faith_n and_o heresy_n but_o because_o this_o name_n of_o heretic_n be_v infamous_a and_o appertain_v to_o that_o most_o heinous_a crime_n do_v require_v a_o certain_a pertinacy_n and_o rebellion_n depart_v from_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o can_v not_o true_o be_v account_v at_o that_o time_n when_o it_o be_v doubtful_a and_o disputable_a and_o the_o church_n have_v not_o define_v whether_o that_o opinion_n be_v repugnant_a to_o religion_n and_o faith_n 109._o in_o this_o sense_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o declare_v a_o assertion_n to_o be_v catholic_a and_o to_o appertain_v to_o catholic_a faith_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o after_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n the_o say_a assertion_n be_v so_o manifest_o of_o faith_n that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v a_o obstinate_a heretic_n who_o defend_v the_o contrary_n shall_v depart_v from_o that_o definition_n although_o before_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n the_o say_a assertion_n albeit_o be_v most_o true_a and_o catholic_a yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n touch_v that_o point_n he_o can_v not_o just_o be_v call_v a_o heretic_n who_o shall_v allow_v and_o follow_v the_o contrary_a position_n and_o what_o have_v be_v say_v if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n or_o controversy_n touch_v any_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o true_a sense_n thereof_o be_v proportional_o to_o be_v understand_v if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n or_o controruersie_n touch_v any_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o true_a sense_n thereof_o as_o we_o see_v there_o be_v now_o a_o controversy_n betwixt_o the_o divine_n of_o rome_n and_o paris_n touch_v
