A19220	The Catholike moderator: or A moderate examination of the doctrine of the Protestants Prouing against the too rigid Catholikes of these times, and against the arguments especially, of that booke called, The answer to the Catholike apologie, that we, who are members of the Catholike, apostolike, & Roman Church, ought not to condeme the Protestants for heretikes, vntill further proofe be made.

practise_v ancient_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o do_v now_o forbear_v they_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v observe_v they_o to_o change_v into_o so_o much_o superstition_n as_o that_o our_o

as_o in_o ceremony_n viz_o that_o ceremony_n be_v thing_n indifferent_a and_o as_o for_o their_o error_n in_o doctrine_n that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o they_o not_o be_v heretic_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o their_o opinion_n let_v we_o now_o traverse_v the_o indictment_n to_o find_v whether_o they_o be_v so_o by_o condemnation_n now_o our_o adversary_n to_o convict_v they_o produces_z the_o decree_n of_o diverse_a counsel_n to_o which_o before_o i_o make_v answer_n i_o will_v propose_v these_o 4_o consideration_n the_o first_o be_v this_o 112_o whether_o a_o general_a and_o lawful_a council_n may_v err_v or_o not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o faith_n see_v that_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o man_n in_o who_o testimony_n as_o say_v s._n augustine_n there_o be_v so_o little_a certainty_n his_o word_n be_v these_o a_o man_n may_v believe_v the_o scripture_n without_o doubt_v but_o for_o any_o other_o testimony_n it_o be_v lawful_a either_o to_o believe_v they_o or_o not_o to_o believe_v they_o so_o as_o this_o privilege_n to_o be_v of_o a_o irrefageable_a certainty_n be_v only_o give_v to_o the_o scripture_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o all_o the_o passage_n which_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o counsel_n be_v thus_o far_o forth_o only_o of_o weight_n as_o they_o can_v be_v make_v good_a by_o the_o scripture_n nevertheless_o this_o be_v the_o common_a answer_n of_o the_o huguenot_n i_o will_v make_v no_o further_o use_v of_o it_o but_o like_o a_o true_a catholic_a confess_v this_o to_o be_v a_o infallible_a maxim_n that_o a_o lawful_a and_o general_a council_n can_v err_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o faith_n the_o second_o be_v consid._n whether_o if_o such_o a_o general_a council_n may_v err_v though_o not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o faith_n yet_o at_o least_o in_o other_o point_n of_o divinity_n of_o less_o consequence_n and_o if_o they_o may_v err_v in_o these_o then_o see_v as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o huguenot_n error_n be_v not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o faith_n that_o it_o follow_v hereupon_o that_o the_o counsel_n may_v err_v in_o their_o definitive_a decision_n of_o those_o controversy_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o huguenot_n and_o we_o be_v only_o point_v of_o lesser_a consequence_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o second_o sort_n of_o heresy_n become_v supernumerary_a and_o their_o error_n not_o be_v heresy_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n can_v be_v make_v heresy_n by_o bare_a condemnation_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v count_v a_o heretic_n who_o resist_v the_o decree_n of_o a_o council_n be_v for_o that_o in_o do_v so_o he_o resist_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o do_v still_o and_o infallible_o accompany_v the_o council_n but_o now_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v no_o further_o forth_o promise_v to_o assist_v the_o council_n then_o when_o it_o treat_v of_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n then_o they_o who_o hold_v some_o tenet_n contrary_a to_o the_o council_n in_o other_o thing_n do_v not_o herein_o resist_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 15._o and_o by_o consequence_n be_v no_o heretic_n stapleton_n professor_n of_o the_o controversy_n at_o douai_n and_o one_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a catholic_n of_o our_o time_n who_o have_v write_v most_o accurate_o of_o this_o argument_n hold_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v only_o promise_v to_o assist_v the_o counsel_n in_o necessary_a thing_n and_o that_o in_o other_o thing_n they_o may_v err_v 4._o and_o andradius_fw-la himself_o who_o defend_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n in_o the_o very_a same_o book_n wherein_o he_o do_v defend_v it_o as_o general_a lawful_a and_o sound_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o faith_n 3._o condemn_v the_o vulgar_a translation_n of_o the_o bible_n as_o corrupt_v although_o the_o say_a council_n have_v authorize_v it_o for_o authentical_a so_o little_o do_v he_o trust_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o counsel_n in_o thing_n which_o be_v beside_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n but_o admit_v thus_o much_o cons._n that_o a_o lawful_a council_n can_v err_v at_o all_o yet_o be_v there_o still_o a_o three_o difficulty_n viz._n whether_o these_o counsel_n which_o he_o produce_v against_o the_o huguenot_n be_v lawful_a which_o even_o a_o catholic_a may_v safe_o deny_v for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v diverse_a nillity_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o and_o namely_o in_o their_o manner_n of_o proceed_v which_o be_v no_o where_o find_v in_o the_o ancient_a counsel_n as_o i_o will_v show_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n when_o i_o treat_v of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n now_o the_o huguenot_n will_v be_v very_o well_o content_a to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o ancient_a counsel_n hold_v in_o the_o first_o 600_o year_n of_o christ_n namely_o until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o pope_n as_o they_o say_v have_v get_v so_o absolute_a a_o monarchy_n in_o the_o church_n take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o counsel_n and_o subject_v the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o other_o bishop_n to_o give_v with_o he_o now_o all_o the_o counsel_n allege_v by_o our_o adversary_n be_v since_o that_o time_n there_o remain_v a_o four_o difficulty_n cons._n namely_o whether_o the_o huguenot_n have_v be_v just_o condemn_v by_o the_o latter_a counsel_n now_o upon_o these_o four_o consideration_n a_o man_n may_v perceive_v how_o frivolous_a his_o brag_n be_v of_o the_o counsel_n for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o conclude_v nothing_o unless_o he_o have_v leave_n grant_v he_o before_o hand_n to_o add_v what_o authority_n to_o the_o counsel_n he_o please_v to_o make_v what_o counsel_n lawful_a he_o list_v and_o to_o force_v the_o counsel_n to_o speak_v what_o he_o will_v have_v they_o the_o most_o innocent_a man_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v convict_v by_o such_o proof_n if_o a_o man_n will_v believe_v without_o further_a examination_n whatsoever_o every_o witness_n shall_v bring_v against_o he_o and_o when_o his_o adversary_n also_o shall_v have_v leave_n both_o to_o pack_v the_o witness_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o also_o to_o judge_v of_o their_o testimony_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n let_v we_o see_v next_o whether_o the_o huguenot_n stand_v lawful_o condemn_v by_o those_o counsel_n which_o he_o produce_v or_o not_o the_o catholic_a apology_n deny_v it_o whereby_o in_o my_o conceit_n he_o show_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o zeal_n to_o the_o roman_a religion_n for_o consider_v what_o a_o world_n of_o people_n be_v infect_v with_o the_o huguenot_n doctrine_n by_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o condemn_v by_o any_o lawful_a form_n of_o proceed_v he_o endeavour_n to_o persuade_v with_o the_o catholic_n to_o cause_v a_o lawful_a council_n to_o be_v call_v to_o confute_v they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o huguenot_n may_v be_v satisfy_v by_o be_v show_v their_o error_n and_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n for_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v many_o seditious_a catholic_n who_o rather_o thirst_v to_o kill_v their_o body_n then_o to_o save_v their_o soul_n do_v hinder_v so_o holy_a a_o design_n under_o colour_n that_o they_o be_v already_o condemn_v by_o other_o counsel_n the_o catholic_a apology_n do_v very_o well_o herein_o to_o advise_v they_o not_o to_o desist_v for_o all_o this_o but_o to_o pursue_v so_o good_a a_o enterprise_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o former_a decree_n by_o which_o the_o huguenot_n stand_v condemn_v be_v not_o of_o such_o authority_n but_o that_o they_o may_v appeal_v from_o they_o to_o a_o high_a power_n so_o that_o we_o must_v sue_v out_o another_o process_n against_o they_o to_o get_v such_o a_o judgement_n as_o they_o themselves_o shal●_n never_o be_v able_a to_o except_v against_o now_o our_o adversary_n answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o take_v this_o course_n affirm_v that_o they_o be_v indeed_o cast_v already_o by_o such_o a_o judgement_n which_o he_o prove_v by_o two_o reason_n one_o be_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v be_v public_o confirm_v by_o general_a counsel_n before_o that_o of_o trent_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o huguenot_n religion_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o
