A07845	The golden ballance of tryall VVherein the reader shall plainly and briefely behold, as in a glasse of crystall; aswell by what rule all controuersies in religion, are to be examined, as also who is, and of right ought to be the vpright iudge in that behalfe. Whereunto is also annexed a counterblast against a masked companion, terming himself E.O. but supposed to be Robert Parsons the trayterous Iesuite.

although_o a_o general_a council_n represent_v the_o whole_a universal_a church_n yet_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v not_o true_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o representative_o well_o for_o the_o universal_a church_n consist_v of_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a whereupon_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o world_n make_v this_o universal_a church_n which_o can_v err_v whereof_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o head_n the_o pope_n be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n but_o not_o true_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o note_v the_o gloss_n upon_o the_o clementines_n which_o say_v very_o well_o that_o when_o the_o pope_n be_v dead_a the_o church_n want_v not_o then_o a_o head_n and_o this_o be_v that_o church_n which_o can_v err_v out_o of_o these_o word_n i_o note_v first_o that_o by_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a papist_n panormitan_n a_o mere_a lie_v man_n judgement_n even_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n aught_o to_o be_v accept_v and_o receive_v before_o the_o pope_n constitution_n if_o that_o layman_n bring_v better_a reason_n then_o do_v the_o pope_n i_o note_v second_o that_o through_o the_o wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n even_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n the_o papist_n i_o mean_v be_v enforce_v to_o testify_v the_o truth_n against_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o print_a book_n for_o doubtless_o this_o testimony_n of_o this_o papist_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v this_o day_n establish_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o in_o all_o other_o reform_a church_n throughout_o the_o christian_a world_n i_o note_v three_o that_o a_o general_a council_n may_v err_v because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o catholic_a or_o universal_a church_n indeed_o a_o general_a council_n therefore_o yield_v not_o any_o infallible_a judgement_n cap._n vii_o show_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o sole_a and_o only_o infallible_a rule_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o have_v show_v first_o that_o all_o bishop_n may_v err_v several_o second_o that_o many_o bishop_n may_v err_v joint_o together_o when_o they_o teach_v one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n three_o that_o the_o pope_n or_o bishop_n of_o rome_n may_v err_v not_o only_o in_o his_o private_a opinion_n but_o also_o in_o his_o public_a sentence_n and_o definition_n four_o that_o provincial_a counsel_n may_v err_v five_o that_o general_a counsel_n may_v err_v it_o therefore_o now_o remain_v chapter_n that_o i_o find_v out_o and_o set_v down_o some_o such_o rule_n as_o be_v infallible_a and_o will_v not_o in_o any_o respect_n point_n or_o clause_n deceive_v they_o that_o follow_v it_o and_o lean_a thereunto_o which_o rule_n say_v i_o be_v the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o sole_a and_o only_o write_v word_n of_o god_n and_o i_o prove_v the_o same_o brief_o first_o by_o the_o write_a word_n itself_o which_o tell_v we_o plain_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v write_v by_o the_o instinct_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 23.19_o even_o as_o god_n himself_o appoint_v it_o to_o be_v do_v that_o pprophecy_n come_v not_o in_o old_a time_n by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v neither_o as_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v i_o prove_v it_o second_o initio_fw-la by_o the_o testimony_n of_o s._n dionyse_n areopagita_n who_o word_n be_v these_o omnino_fw-la igitur_fw-la non_fw-la audendum_fw-la est_fw-la quicquam_fw-la

these_o be_v his_o word_n sancta_fw-la scriptura_fw-la nostrae_fw-la doctrinae_fw-la regulam_fw-la figit_fw-la ne_fw-la audiamus_fw-la sapere_fw-la plusquam_fw-la oportet_fw-la the_o holy_a
