forget_v and_o it_o seem_v they_o themselves_o do_v then_o as_o little_a understand_v their_o own_o privilege_n as_o they_o do_v the_o principle_n of_o faith_n for_o this_o be_v never_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o in_o all_o those_o council_n which_o be_v call_v on_o purpose_n for_o the_o suppression_n of_o heresy_n and_o where_o the_o legate_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v present_a nay_o to_o this_o very_a day_n they_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n where_o to_o go_v for_o it_o whether_o to_o the_o pope_n or_o a_o council_n or_o both_o or_o tradition_n or_o the_o collective_a body_n of_o christian_n that_o be_v they_o know_v not_o whither_o to_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n or_o to_o maintain_v it_o i_o must_v confess_v if_o i_o shall_v hear_v a_o person_n solemn_o declare_v that_o he_o have_v treasure_n enough_o in_o his_o possession_n to_o enrich_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o shall_v grave_o invite_v all_o person_n to_o address_v themselves_o to_o he_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n perceive_v though_o he_o have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o several_a year_n that_o he_o can_v neither_o tell_v where_o it_o be_v nor_o be_v he_o and_o his_o family_n for_o all_o this_o the_o rich_a or_o in_o a_o better_a condition_n than_o other_o folk_n i_o shall_v vehement_o suspect_v he_o either_o to_o be_v a_o notorious_a impost_n or_o or_o perfect_a lunatic_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n confident_o assert_v its_o own_o infallibility_n but_o find_v withal_o that_o she_o know_v not_o where_o to_o fix_v it_o and_o that_o its_o rupture_n and_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o great_a as_o in_o other_o church_n and_o what_o be_v never_o end_v by_o the_o way_n it_o pretend_v to_o but_o by_o plain_a downright_a force_n i_o can_v for_o my_o heart_n but_o think_v there_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n more_o of_o interest_n than_o reason_n in_o the_o case_n and_o what_o they_o themselves_o do_v rather_o live_v by_o than_o believe_v but_o in_o my_o mind_n there_o be_v no_o better_a evidence_n that_o this_o be_v new_a than_o that_o it_o be_v false_a and_o no_o better_a evidence_n that_o it_o be_v false_a than_o that_o it_o have_v mistake_v of_o which_o beside_o what_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v far_o say_v of_o alteration_n in_o that_o church_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o plain_a instance_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n 1._o say_v that_o tradition_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o equal_a reverence_n as_o the_o scripture_n and_o maldonat_n 317._o tell_v we_o that_o the_o give_v the_o eucharist_n to_o child_n be_v a_o tradition_n in_o the_o church_n for_o 600_o year_n after_o christ_n which_o be_v now_o condemn_v as_o he_o show_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n again_o s._n hierom_n 8._o say_v that_o the_o latin_a church_n then_o do_v not_o receive_v the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n among_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n but_o that_o be_v now_o take_v into_o the_o number_n by_o they_o and_o require_v so_o to_o be_v under_o a_o anathema_n sess._n 4._o decr._n 1_o conc._n trid._n now_o infallibility_n and_o fallibility_n be_v contradictory_n and_o if_o that_o church_n have_v err_v as_o err_v she_o have_v than_o she_o can_v be_v infallible_a and_o so_o consequent_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n of_o rome_n i_o can_v show_v as_o much_o of_o novelty_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o indulgence_n purgatory_n the_o mass_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o of_o no_o salvation_n out_o of_o the_o romish_a church_n etc._n etc._n but_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a second_o the_o alteration_n be_v as_o great_a in_o point_n of_o practice_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n differ_v therein_o as_o much_o from_o what_o she_o original_o be_v as_o 1._o the_o keep_v the_o scripture_n and_o public_a service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n be_v new_a the_o first_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o translation_n of_o the_o scripture_n into_o several_a language_n and_o especial_o into_o the_o latin_a at_o that_o time_n a_o vulgar_a tongue_n of_o which_o no_o sufficient_a reason_n can_v be_v give_v be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o use_n of_o those_o that_o understand_v not_o the_o original_n the_o latter_a be_v not_o only_o clear_a from_o 1_o cor._n 14._o but_o what_o bellarmine_n 16._o do_v acknowledge_v who_o say_v that_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o people_n saying_n amen_o that_o be_v to_o what_o they_o understand_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n continue_v long_o in_o the_o western_a as_o well_o as_o eastern_a church_n 2._o worship_v of_o image_n which_o be_v first_o establish_v in_o the_o second_o council_n at_o nice_a but_o be_v so_o different_a from_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o cassander_n 4._o a_o author_n of_o they_o say_v that_o the_o christian_n have_v not_o then_o so_o much_o as_o image_n in_o their_o church_n and_o do_v far_o declare_v from_o origen_n that_o the_o ancient_n ab_fw-la omni_fw-la veneratione_n the_o very_a word_n use_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n sess._n 25._o decret_a the_o invocat_n imaginum_fw-la abhorruerunt_fw-la that_o all_o veneration_n of_o they_o be_v abhor_v to_o this_o i_o refer_v the_o worship_v of_o saint_n which_o be_v so_o little_a thought_n of_o that_o many_o of_o the_o father_n do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o any_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o beatific_a vision_n and_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o happiness_n till_o the_o resurrection_n as_o stapleton_n 868._o do_v show_v and_o it_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o time_n either_o of_o lombard_n or_o scotus_n the_o former_a of_o which_o say_v 45._o it_o not_o incredible_a the_o saint_n do_v hear_v what_o we_o say_v and_o the_o latter_a 4._o that_o it_o be_v probable_a god_n do_v reveal_v our_o prayer_n that_o be_v offer_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v then_o the_o doctrine_n of_o probability_n only_o but_o now_o all_o be_v require_v to_o believe_v it_o under_o a_o anathema_n by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n invocat_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o innovation_n of_o worship_n to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n of_o which_o we_o read_v nothing_o in_o scripture_n or_o antiquity_n unless_o in_o what_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o heretic_n call_v collyridiani_n in_o epiphanius_n 79._o that_o use_v to_o carry_v about_o her_o image_n and_o offer_v cake_n and_o worship_n to_o it_o with_o who_o that_o good_a father_n thus_o encounter_v what_o scripture_n have_v deliver_v any_o such_o thing_n etc._n etc._n let_v mary_n be_v in_o honour_n but_o let_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v worship_v let_v no_o man_n worship_n mary_n 3._o communion_n in_o one_o kind_a express_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o former_a practice_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n the_o former_a be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n 13._o when_o they_o decree_v with_o a_o notwithstanding_o for_o it_o the_o latter_a be_v acknowledge_v by_o cassander_n 22._o who_o say_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n itself_o retain_v the_o practice_n of_o receive_v in_o both_o kind_n for_o above_o one_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o innumerable_a testimony_n of_o ancient_a writer_n to_o these_o i_o may_v add_v the_o practice_n of_o say_v private_a and_o solitary_a mass_n of_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n and_o carry_v it_o about_o in_o procession_n confession_n as_o use_v in_o their_o church_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o shall_v forbear_v iii_o these_o alteration_n be_v to_o the_o worse_o and_o gross_a corruption_n for_o if_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o christ_n vicar_n original_o and_o by_o his_o deputation_n than_o he_o be_v so_o far_o a_o great_a usurper_n if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o power_n over_o king_n to_o depose_v they_o and_o absolve_v their_o subject_n from_o allegiance_n to_o they_o than_o those_o of_o they_o that_o have_v use_v that_o power_n have_v be_v notorious_a disturber_n of_o the_o world._n if_o their_o church_n be_v not_o

a_o doctrine_n of_o their_o own_o and_o not_o of_o christ_n they_o usurp_v upon_o his_o prerogative_n if_o the_o scripture_n be_v free_a to_o all_o than_o their_o church_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o
