understand_v either_o that_o the_o legend_n be_v of_o as_o good_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o scripture_n or_o that_o in_o their_o public_a office_n they_o use_v legend_n where_o they_o shall_v have_v use_v the_o scripture_n he_o show_v there_o be_v too_o much_o occasion_n give_v for_o the_o former_a among_o they_o as_o when_o they_o own_o in_o their_o public_a office_n that_o st._n bridget_n revelation_n come_v immediate_o from_o god_n to_o her._n but_o here_o our_o author_n interpose_v and_o say_v how_o do_v the_o papist_n change_v the_o scripture_n into_o legend_n when_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n to_o own_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o if_o he_o own_v the_o scripture_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n then_o wherein_o be_v the_o difference_n if_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o church_n to_o believe_v a_o legend_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a revelation_n our_o author_n will_v have_v do_v a_o kind_a part_n if_o he_o have_v set_v we_o right_o in_o this_o matter_n between_o divine_a revelation_n and_o divine_a revelation_n between_o the_o revelation_n for_o scripture_n and_o the_o divine_a revelation_n for_o the_o legend_n but_o he_o say_v for_o all_o this_o a_o person_n be_v not_o alike_o oblige_v to_o assent_v no_o although_o the_o church_n require_v it_o but_o that_o say_v he_o the_o church_n do_v not_o for_o though_o he_o may_v read_v legend_n if_o he_o please_v yet_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o his_o church_n or_o religion_n to_o give_v assent_n to_o or_o believe_v any_o one_o passage_n in_o any_o one_o legend_n whatsoever_o if_o he_o have_v no_o better_a authority_n for_o the_o latter_a branch_n than_o the_o former_a for_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o assent_v than_o for_o he_o may_v read_v they_o if_o he_o please_v his_o cause_n be_v uncapable_a of_o his_o support_n for_o how_o can_v he_o be_v at_o liberty_n whether_o he_o will_v read_v hear_v they_o if_o he_o please_v when_o they_o be_v insert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o their_o church-service_n and_o be_v lesson_n choose_v out_o for_o their_o instruction_n and_o he_o can_v as_o little_a say_v they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o assent_v to_o they_o when_o the_o church_n itself_o say_v in_o its_o public_a office_n they_o come_v immediate_o from_o god._n be_v it_o at_o last_o all_o come_v to_o this_o

and_o st._n catherine_n and_o to_o come_v immediate_o from_o god_n as_o their_o office_n be_v it_o all_o i_o say_v come_v to_o this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v assent_n to_o or_o believe_v any_o one_o passage_n in_o any_o legend_n whatsoever_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o to_o believe_v any_o one_o to_o be_v a_o saint_n their_o church_n have_v canonize_v no_o not_o st._n

to_o have_v judge_v those_o thing_n worthy_a of_o credit_n which_o he_o be_v canonize_v for_o yet_o no_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v bind_v to_o assent_v or_o believe_v but_o he_o

this_o free_a concession_n for_o these_o be_v the_o ground_n protestant_n do_v believe_v upon_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o that_o they_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o the_o protestant_n this_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v he_o will_v no_o more_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v than_o that_o they_o reverence_n the_o scripture_n more_o than_o protestant_n however_o this_o he_o attempt_n and_o give_v this_o reason_n for_o that_o protestant_n let_v natural_a object_n ever_o about_o mystery_n of_o their_o faith_n have_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v so_o often_o deceive_v rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v they_o but_o where_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o those_o sense_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o will_v he_o undertake_v to_o prou●_n this_o also_o when_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o frame_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o nature_n or_o substance_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o information_n of_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o common_a and_o natural_a way_n be_v to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v from_o the_o external_a and_o natural_a accident_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o now_o be_v not_o a_o wafer_n a_o

our_o author_n salve_v this_o difficulty_n that_o he_o proceed_v in_o after_o this_o manner_n but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o frame_v a_o true_a judgement_n as_o if_o the_o other_o be_v a_o false_a one_o of_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o such_o a_o object_n not_o according_a to_o a_o natural_a be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o what_o it_o may_v have_v of_o supernatural_a the_o sense_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v here_o too_o the_o information_n these_o give_v not_o now_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god._n i_o shall_v have_v think_v the_o conclusion_n to_o be_v infer_v from_o hence_o will_v rather_o be_v the_o sense_n ought_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o in_o such_o case_n to_o judge_n of_o the_o natural_a accident_n according_a to_o what_o they_o report_v for_o i_o must_v confess_v he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o that_o have_v improve_v the_o argument_n this_o way_n and_o that_o appeal_v to_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o their_o church_n so_o cautious_o warn_v they_o against_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o he_o will_v illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o instance_n in_o another_o matter_n a_o friend_n say_v he_o send_v i_o a_o transparent_a stone_n of_o which_o when_o i_o will_v make_v a_o judgement_n i_o can_v do_v it_o without_o the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n these_o may_v inform_v i_o two_o way_n either_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o by_o read_v the_o letter_n send_v along_o with_o it_o or_o the_o report_n of_o the_o bearer_n if_o i_o take_v the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n from_o the_o view_n of_o the_o stone_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o pebble_n if_o from_o the_o letter_n write_v by_o a_o excellent_a artist_n and_o the_o bearer_n a_o skilful_a jeweller_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a diamond_n upon_o

be_o bind_v in_o reason_n to_o judge_n of_o it_o so_o rather_o than_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n to_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n so_o that_o in_o thus_o believe_v this_o mystery_n we_o do_v not_o renounce_v but_o follow_v our_o sense_n but_o his_o instance_n reach_v not_o the_o case_n 1._o because_o the_o judge_a whether_o a_o transparent_a stone_n be_v a_o counterfeit_n or_o a_o
