reason_n or_o to_o judge_n for_o myself_o it_o do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o use_n of_o common_a sense_n and_o reason_n when_o it_o shall_v lead_v we_o to_o submit_v to_o any_o just_a authority_n

private_a judgement_n for_o it_o for_o i_o think_v man_n can_v change_v their_o opinion_n without_o exercise_v a_o private_a judgement_n about_o it_o and_o i_o suppose_v when_o they_o dispute_v with_o man_n to_o make_v they_o papist_n they_o intend_v to_o convert_v they_o by_o their_o own_o private_a judgement_n now_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o man_n use_v their_o private_a judgement_n to_o turn_v papist_n or_o to_o turn_v protestant_n one_o indeed_o may_v be_v false_a and_o the_o other_o true_a but_o private_a judgement_n be_v private_a judgement_n still_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o fault_n for_o man_n to_o use_v their_o private_a judgement_n it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o fault_n in_o a_o papist_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o protestant_n so_o that_o all_o that_o i_o say_v be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n with_o respect_n to_o man_n use_v their_o private_a judgement_n whether_o they_o use_v their_o private_a judgement_n to_o turn_v papist_n or_o to_o turn_v protestant_n for_o both_o be_v but_o private_a judgement_n and_o to_o confute_v this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o turn_v papist_n and_o turn_v protestant_n which_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v but_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o present_a argument_n i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n as_o to_o the_o principle_n or_o cause_n of_o their_o change_n when_o the_o change_n of_o both_o be_v owe_v to_o private_a judgement_n and_o he_o learned_o prove_v that_o the_o change_n itself_o be_v different_a as_o wide_o different_a as_o papist_n and_o protestant_n differ_v but_o though_o the_o footman_n have_v plain_o tell_v he_o this_o the_o jesuit_n have_v not_o wit_n to_o understand_v it_o and_o therefore_o preservative_n consid._n p._n 11._o add_v be_v there_o no_o difference_n then_o betwixt_o one_o who_o follow_v his_o fancy_n in_o choose_v his_o way_n and_o he_o who_o choose_v a_o good_a guide_n and_o follow_v he_o because_o they_o both_o choose_v do_v both_o equal_o rely_v on_o their_o fancy_n i_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o as_o there_o be_v between_o a_o protestant_n and_o a_o papist_n but_o when_o the_o dispute_n be_v whether_o they_o shall_v follow_v their_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n or_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o follow_v a_o guide_n with_o a_o blind_a and_o implicit_a faith_n and_o every_o man_n must_v determine_v this_o by_o his_o own_o private_a judgement_n which_o be_v the_o case_n i_o propose_v which_o way_n so_o ever_o they_o determine_v this_o question_n whether_o to_o follow_v their_o own_o reason_n or_o to_o follow_v a_o guide_n in_o this_o point_n they_o both_o equal_o rely_v on_o their_o own_o private_a reason_n and_o judgement_n or_o as_o he_o call_v it_o fancy_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o say_v i_o take_v the_o catholic_n part_n 4._o and_o though_o faint_o yet_o speak_v well_o in_o so_o clear_a a_o cause_n the_o intention_n of_o those_o dispute_n be_v only_o to_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o infallible_a church_n and_o set_v you_o upon_o a_o rock_n and_o then_o it_o be_v very_o natural_a to_o renounce_v your_o own_o judgement_n when_o you_o have_v a_o infallible_a guide_n this_o i_o do_v allege_v as_o the_o most_o plausible_a pretence_n to_o justify_v papist_n in_o dispute_v with_o protestant_n that_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o a_o infallible_a church_n 9_o that_o our_o own_o judgement_n must_v bring_v we_o to_o the_o infallible_a guide_n but_o when_o we_o have_v find_v he_o we_o have_v no_o far_o use_v for_o our_o own_o judgement_n i_o offer_v two_o answer_n to_o this_o neither_o of_o which_o he_o dare_v meddle_v with_o but_o nibble_v at_o a_o passage_n in_o each_o the_o 1._o he_o thus_o represent_v they_o can_v with_o any_o sense_n dispute_n with_o we_o about_o the_o particular_a article_n of_o faith_n because_o the_o sense_n give_v of_o scripture_n and_o father_n take_v its_o authority_n from_o the_o church_n understanding_n it_o so_o but_o my_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o if_o dispute_v be_v only_o to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o infallible_a church_n than_o it_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o the_o particular_a dispute_n of_o religion_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o may_v dispute_v on_o about_o a_o infallible_a judge_n but_o they_o can_v with_o any_o sense_n dispute_n with_o we_o about_o the_o particular_a article_n of_o faith_n such_o as_o transubstantiation_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n etc._n etc._n for_o these_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v only_o from_o the_o church_n and_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n or_o father_n without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v a_o demonstration_n if_o faith_n must_v be_v resolve_v into_o the_o infallible_a authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o then_o no_o argument_n be_v a_o sufficient_a foundation_n for_o faith_n without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o if_o they_o be_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o resolve_v our_o faith_n into_o church_n authority_n because_o we_o have_v a_o good_a foundation_n for_o faith_n without_o it_o 4._o he_o answer_v this_o be_v false_a the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n take_v its_o authority_n from_o god_n who_o speak_v that_o word_n though_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o have_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o that_o word_n

to_o abide_v with_o she_o for_o ever_o according_a to_o christ_n promise_n john_n 14.16_o this_o be_v a_o choice_n paragraph_n the_o question_n between_o we_o be_v whether_o they_o can_v by_o

be_v convince_v by_o scripture-proof_n which_o show_v how_o absurd_a it_o be_v for_o a_o papist_n who_o profess_v to_o believe_v all_o this_o to_o attempt_v to_o persuade_v a_o protestant_n who_o reject_v the_o authority_n of_o their_o church_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o popish_a doctrine_n from_o scripture_n either_o he_o think_v these_o doctrine_n so_o plain_o contain_v in_o
he_o can_v be_v infallible_a in_o nothing_o protestant_n believe_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o be_v infallible_o true_a and_o this_o they_o

be_v not_o mere_a want_n of_o understanding_n in_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v hammer_v out_o a_o new_a notion_n of_o infallibility_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o rude_a and_o imperfect_a embryo_n yet_o we_o

infallibility_n for_o he_o mighty_o complain_v of_o protestant_a misrepresentation_n about_o it_o 13._o our_o guide_n then_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n either_o diffusive_a in_o

a_o very_a strange_a guide_n if_o it_o can_v use_v its_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o how_o the_o whole_a which_o consist_v of_o all_o particular_a christian_n shall_v judge_v for_o itself_o when_o no_o particular_a christian_n must_v judge_v be_v somewhat_o mysterious_a that_o be_v that_o all_o christian_n must_v judge_v and_o yet_o none_o must_v judge_v but_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v

for_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o condemn_v the_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o thus_o i_o think_v they_o get_v nothing_o by_o this_o argument_n for_o if_o the_o
