it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o well_o as_o you_o after_o all_o than_o you_o can_v show_v which_o be_v your_o prime_a principle_n that_o take_v away_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n you_o can_v

a_o true_a convince_a argument_n 38._o another_o argument_n be_v that_o there_o be_v many_o controversy_n and_o may_v be_v yet_o many_o more_o the_o decision_n of_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o

my_o 8_o number_n 39_o the_o first_o of_o these_o controversy_n be_v about_o the_o necessity_n of_o not_o work_v upon_o the_o sunday_n you_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v who_o do_v weekly_a work_n and_o resolve_v to_o work_v upon_o the_o sunday_n without_o any_o necessity_n you_o must_v then_o affirm_v that_o to_o abstain_v from_o work_v upon_o that_o day_n be_v a_o point_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n now_o i_o ask_v where_o this_o necessary_a point_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n and_o i_o press_v you_o to_o give_v i_o as_o clear_a text_n to_o prove_v this_o as_o i_o cite_v at_o large_a to_o
luke_n 10.16_o we_o say_v first_o this_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v right_o apply_v to_o the_o business_n we_o be_v about_o for_o this_o be_v direct_v not_o to_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n but_o to_o the_o seventy_o disciple_n or_o elder_n which_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n second_o if_o you_o do_v extend_v it_o to_o the_o representative_a church_n yet_o do_v it_o

if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v in_o a_o general_n council_n then_o resolve_v nilus_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o pope_n do_v not_o hear_v a_o general_n council_n for_o if_o that_o general_n council_n do_v not_o err_v as_o by_o your_o argument_n it_o must_v not_o than_o the_o pope_n do_v err_v as_o for_o the_o other_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o you_o produce_v of_o christ_n be_v with_o his_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o his_o promise_n of_o lead_v his_o church_n into_o all_o truth_n we_o answer_v together_o first_o though_o the_o promise_n be_v extendible_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o understand_v it_o so_o as_o that_o there_o shall_v always_o be_v equality_n of_o assistance_n to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v hard_o to_o affirm_v since_o we_o can_v say_v that_o there_o be_v such_o necessity_n for_o such_o assistance_n or_o such_o disposition_n in_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n to_o receive_v such_o assistance_n second_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v good_a by_o a_o sufficient_a direction_n of_o the_o church_n to_o their_o end_n of_o happiness_n although_o not_o without_o possibility_n of_o error_n for_o every_o simple_a error_n do_v not_o deprive_v the_o church_n of_o salvation_n and_o then_o it_o may_v also_o recover_v itself_o from_o error_n by_o more_o perusal_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o it_o may_v at_o all_o err_v it_o have_v not_o the_o property_n of_o a_o ground_n of_o faith_n nor_o a_o just_a capacity_n of_o a_o

most_o certain_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o people_n for_o the_o doctor_n also_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o a_o common_a notion_n of_o the_o nation_n three_o it_o be_v to_o be_v

now_o these_o in_o thessalonica_n be_v not_o of_o the_o doctor_n for_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o synagogue_n there_o as_o appear_v by_o compare_n of_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o ch_n and_o the_o five_o with_o the_o rest_n and_o so_o also_o those_o who_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o beroea_n be_v also_o of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o jew_n there_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o ten_o verse_n now_o the_o synagogue_n be_v not_o a_o congregation_n of_o doctor_n but_o of_o the_o people_n with_o a_o master_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n with_o the_o jew_n ten_o make_v a_o people_n and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o people_n there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o synagogue_n and_o where_o a_o synagogue_n there_o a_o master_n so_o then_o this_o be_v speak_v of_o they_o of_o the_o synagogue_n per_fw-la so_o it_o be_v most_o like_a to_o be_v understand_v de_fw-fr communi_fw-la of_o the_o people_n and_o fourthly_a if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o doctor_n i_o hope_v the_o people_n shall_v have_v believe_v they_o upon_o their_o own_o word_n without_o the_o doctor_n search_v the_o scripture_n daily_o for_o if_o the_o doctor_n be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v without_o their_o search_n of_o the_o scripture_n daily_o then_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v we_o have_v do_v and_o the_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o be_v at_o a_o end_n because_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n that_o their_o search_n of_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v a_o condition_n of_o the_o people_n belief_n unless_o also_o the_o people_n be_v allow_v to_o give_v their_o belief_n conditionate_o to_o the_o

upon_o their_o bare_a word_n that_o they_o have_v search_v the_o scripture_n so_o then_o in_o effect_n upon_o this_o account_n the_o main_a principle_n and_o last_o resolutive_a of_o the_o people_n faith_n must_v be_v the_o doctor_n mere_a word_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v they_o discourse_v fallible_o and_o conclude_v infallible_o as_o stapleton_n will_v have_v it_o to_o conclude_v then_o the_o debate_n of_o this_o text_n we_o may_v have_v i_o suppose_v clear_o these_o two_o corollary_n from_o it_o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o commendable_a whatsoever_o the_o church_n say_v to_o search_v the_o scripture_n whether_o those_o thing_n be_v so_o for_o the_o church_n can_v have_v great_a authority_n upon_o we_o than_o st._n paul_n no_o nor_o so_o much_o neither_o till_o they_o prove_v it_o better_o and_o yet_o these_o beroean_n be_v commend_v for_o it_o and_o if_o in_o a_o point_n clear_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n as_o this_o be_v by_o his_o own_o acknowledgement_n then_o in_o other_o point_v much_o rather_o because_o by_o his_o own_o argument_n also_o in_o such_o the_o doctor_n may_v be_v more_o mistake_v yea_o because_o also_o according_a to_o our_o principle_n positive_a faith_n in_o such_o point_n be_v not_o so_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n until_o we_o see_v it_o plain_o propose_v yea_o also_o when_o a_o point_n controvert_v appear_v plain_a the_o disbelief_n be_v not_o damnative_a by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o verity_n but_o because_o it_o destroy_v god_n veracity_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a tenure_n of_o all_o truth_n second_o we_o have_v also_o this_o corollary_n that_o faith_n come_v by_o search_v of_o the_o scripture_n for_o so_o it_o follow_v which_o my_o adversary_n have_v no_o mind_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n the_o twelve_o many_o of_o they_o therefore_o believe_v therefore_o namely_o upon_o search_v of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v blind_o and_o then_o search_v the_o scripture_n but_o search_v the_o scripture_n first_o and_o then_o rational_o upon_o principle_n of_o scripture_n believe_v and_o these_o two_o proposition_n be_v sufficient_a to_o unhinge_v the_o pope_n and_o all_o his_o cardinal_n and_o all_o their_o religion_n as_o differ_v so_o that_o now_o the_o text_n whereunto_o he_o will_v wise_o have_v answer_v out_o of_o due_a place_n be_v vindicate_v from_o his_o battery_n and_o stand_v against_o he_o in_o their_o full_a strength_n and_o force_n we_o may_v now_o after_o this_o reinforcement_n of_o they_o make_v

in_o scripture_n that_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o not_o all_o thing_n be_v answer_v by_o our_o denial_n of_o the_o
