the_o reform_a church_n as_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o shall_v now_o short_o evince_v by_o the_o follow_a argument_n that_o be_v the_o true_a church_n which_o 1._o vindicate_v and_o maintain_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n 2._o teach_v doctrine_n agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n 3._o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o scripturary_n as_o to_o

therefore_o the_o reform_a be_v the_o true_a church_n as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o reform_a church_n maintain_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n against_o the_o papist_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v no_o authority_n as_o to_o we_o at_o least_o but_o from_o the_o church_n which_o distinction_n be_v find_v out_o by_o bellarmine_n namely_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n consider_v in_o itself_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o church_n but_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o but_o how_o frivolous_a be_v this_o distinction_n for_o all_o authority_n be_v relative_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v consider_v without_o a_o relation_n to_o we_o and_o moreover_o the_o supposition_n be_v false_a that_o the_o scripture_n authority_n as_o to_o we_o depend_v upon_o the_o church_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o overthrow_v this_o assertion_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o reason_n which_o induce_v the_o papist_n to_o defend_v it_o be_v evident_o this_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o answer_v the_o protestant_n argument_n from_o scripture_n without_o wrest_v the_o sense_n and_o therefore_o hold_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n depend_v upon_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o oblige_v they_o to_o descend_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n depend_v also_o upon_o the_o church_n be_v that_o without_o the_o church_n tradition_n we_o can_v have_v no_o certainty_n of_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o nor_o of_o their_o sense_n in_o this_o they_o imitate_v exact_o the_o ancient_a heretic_n of_o who_o tertullian_n say_v when_o the_o heretic_n be_v confute_v from_o the_o scripture_n they_o present_o begin_v to_o accuse_v the_o scripture_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o of_o sufficient_a authority_n or_o be_v otherwise_o write_v than_o they_o be_v cite_v by_o the_o orthodox_n and_o of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n without_o tradition_n where_o you_o may_v see_v a_o exact_a portraiture_n of_o the_o modern_a papist_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n we_o assert_v that_o the_o scripture_n authority_n do_v no_o way_n depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o speak_v internal_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o external_o in_o the_o scripture_n because_o he_o be_v their_o author_n 2_o tim._n 3.16_o 2_o pet._n 1.21_o and_o therefore_o he_o alone_o can_v give_v they_o their_o authority_n and_o as_o christ_n seek_v a_o testimony_n from_o none_o beside_o the_o father_n so_o neither_o do_v his_o word_n need_v any_o other_o which_o he_o have_v leave_v upon_o earth_n instead_o of_o his_o own_o person_n and_o as_o it_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o affirm_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n proclamation_n depend_v upon_o the_o crier_n or_o a_o rule_n upon_o the_o thing_n rule_v or_o that_o the_o sun_n borrow_v his_o light_n from_o his_o own_o orb_n or_o vortex_n so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o ridiculous_a to_o affirm_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n depend_v upon_o the_o church_n the_o church_n be_v the_o candlestick_n the_o word_n of_o

authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n we_o reject_v not_o the_o ministerial_a testimony_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o affair_n because_o thereby_o we_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o samaritan_n come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o samaritan_n woman_n testimony_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v not_o the_o reason_n or_o ground_n of_o their_o

that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o we_o depend_v entire_o upon_o the_o church_n but_o to_o pass_v camero_n observation_n that_o these_o word_n belong_v to_o the_o sixteenth_o
