far_o as_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o all_o our_o necessary_a article_n we_o be_v no_o other_o but_o those_o in_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v as_o well_o they_o as_o we_o thus_o far_o then_o we_o have_v often_o prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o if_o he_o require_v it_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o do_v it_o again_o but_o this_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o will_v set_v we_o a_o hard_a task_n but_o it_o be_v by_o all_o law_n of_o disputation_n in_o our_o choice_n whether_o we_o will_v accept_v of_o it_o or_o no._n two_o thing_n more_o he_o will_v have_v we_o prove_v first_o that_o we_o be_v absolute_o certain_a of_o all_o this_o and_o second_o not_o only_o this_o but_o of_o all_o that_o more_o which_o our_o saviour_n teach_v his_o apostle_n but_o that_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o prove_v either_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v at_o least_o as_o sure_a as_o he_o be_v that_o we_o can_v and_o that_o i_o will_v confess_v to_o he_o be_v sure_a enough_o take_v his_o word_n in_o his_o own_o sense_n for_o first_o he_o tell_v we_o pag._n 23._o the_o profession_n of_o absolute_a certainty_n make_v a_o fair_a approach_n towards_o the_o doctrine_n of_o infallibility_n or_o rather_o it_o be_v the_o self_n same_o with_o it_o and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o page_n he_o make_v absolute_o certain_a and_o infallible_a all_o one_o thing_n when_o therefore_o he_o can_v meet_v with_o protestant_n that_o profess_v themselves_o absolute_o certain_a in_o his_o sense_n that_o be_v infallible_a it_o be_v fit_a he_o shall_v call_v upon_o they_o as_o we_o do_v on_o roman_a catholic_n to_o prove_v all_o be_v their_o due_n which_o they_o as_o absurd_o as_o presumptuous_o arrogate_v to_o themselves_o but_o whilst_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o protestant_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o be_v of_o a_o modest_a disposition_n let_v he_o not_o put_v they_o to_o the_o blush_v for_o he_o by_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o much_o wise_a than_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n think_v herself_o wise_a than_o all_o other_o church_n and_o true_o the_o next_o part_n of_o his_o demand_n be_v as_o unreasonable_a as_o this_o to_o bid_v we_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v absolute_o certain_a of_o all_o that_o christ_n teach_v his_o apostle_n we_o be_v certain_a as_o be_v say_v of_o that_o which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n write_v on_o purpose_n to_o inform_v we_o of_o what_o they_o teach_v and_o this_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v enough_o and_o all_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v certain_a of_o because_o we_o can_v imagine_v if_o they_o write_v not_o all_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o know_v and_o believe_v why_o they_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o write_v so_o much_o for_o if_o it_o be_v as_o these_o man_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o believe_v but_o a_o part_n be_v as_o damnable_a as_o to_o believe_v nothing_o they_o have_v as_o good_a have_v write_v nothing_o as_o not_o the_o whole_a that_o we_o must_v believe_v a_o few_o line_n more_o may_v have_v instruct_v we_o in_o that_o all_o more_o which_o it_o be_v say_v we_o shall_v certain_o believe_v or_o a_o few_o word_n may_v have_v direct_v we_o to_o the_o infallible_a church_n to_o learn_v it_o be_v those_o good_a man_n so_o scant_v of_o time_n or_o spare_v of_o pain_n that_o they_o can_v not_o afford_v we_o this_o all_o more_o especial_o whilst_o they_o spend_v so_o much_o of_o both_o in_o write_v large_o thing_n suppose_v by_o all_o not_o absolute_o necessary_a and_o do_v the_o primitive_a church_n also_o grudge_v her_o child_n the_o full_a knowledge_n of_o this_o all_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v as_o the_o necessary_a faith_n of_o christian_n we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o any_o of_o the_o ancient_a creed_n one_o branch_n of_o this_o all_o more_o which_o the_o trent_n council_n so_o late_o teach_v and_o command_v by_o virtue_n of_o tradition_n to_o say_v no_o more_o we_o have_v certainty_n of_o all_o that_o be_v teach_v we_o in_o scripture_n and_o we_o know_v of_o no_o more_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v we_o the_o papist_n say_v there_o be_v more_o and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o can_v now_o this_o gentleman_n see_v by_o his_o own_o rule_n of_o disputation_n that_o he_o and_o his_o brethren_n ought_v to_o bear_v their_o own_o burden_n the_o proof_n of_o all_o this_o more_o that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o say_v we_o be_v certain_a of_o you_o see_v i_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n that_o we_o decline_v no_o proof_n that_o be_v incumbent_n upon_o we_o we_o prove_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o prove_v every_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n by_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o we_o prove_v we_o have_v sufficient_a certainty_n of_o our_o whole_a faith._n our_o rule_n be_v certain_a the_o faith_n which_o agree_v with_o it_o be_v certain_a too_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o that_o it_o be_v suppose_v christ_n teach_v and_o christian_n must_v believe_v he_o that_o affirm_v it_o be_v oblige_v to_o prove_v it_o or_o no_o long_o to_o quarrel_n with_o those_o who_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o well_o i_o perceive_v this_o author_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o show_v what_o he_o can_v do_v to_o prove_v we_o have_v no_o certainty_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o kindness_n to_o we_o i_o suppose_v that_o he_o may_v ease_v we_o of_o the_o mpossible_a task_n as_o he_o accunt_v it_o of_o prove_v that_o we_o have_v and_o he_o have_v do_v it_o unanswerable_o it_o we_o will_v believe_v he_o i_o declare_v open_o say_v he_o that_o you_o can_v answer_v this_o discourse_n however_o we_o will_v try_v and_o we_o have_v some_o reason_n for_o it_o see_v he_o tell_v we_o it_o near_o touch_v our_o copyhold_n which_o he_o may_v well_o believe_v we_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o part_v with_o we_o have_v it_o thus_o pag._n 30_o 31._o i._o god_n have_v leave_v we_o some_o way_n to_o know_v sure_o what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n what_o be_v then_o the_o inference_n from_o it_o ii_o therefore_o this_o way_n must_v be_v such_o that_o they_o who_o take_v it_o shall_v arrive_v by_o it_o at_o the_o end_n it_o be_v intend_v for_o that_o be_v to_o know_v sure_o what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v alas_o what_o dally_v be_v here_o who_o be_v the_o wise_a for_o this_o inference_n or_o who_o know_v one_o jot_n the_o more_o by_o it_o than_o he_o do_v by_o the_o antecedent_n if_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o a_o way_n to_o know_v then_o by_o that_o way_n we_o may_v know_v if_o such_o be_v his_o inference_n that_o he_o here_o engage_v to_o make_v good_a he_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o make_v good_a his_o engagement_n though_o his_o inference_n be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o his_o next_o may_v be_v better_o let_v we_o hear_v it_o iii_o scripture_n letter_n interpretable_a by_o private_a judgement_n be_v not_o that_o way_n who_o do_v the_o man_n here_o dispute_v against_o our_o doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o scripture_n only_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n or_o the_o scripture_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n i_o suppose_v it_o be_v against_o we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v think_v to_o dispute_v in_o this_o unanswerable_a discourse_n and_o why_o do_v he_o not_o in_o term_n contradict_v our_o doctrine_n say_v the_o scripture_n only_o be_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n or_o the_o scripture_n contain_v not_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n if_o because_o he_o have_v in_o his_o proposition_n use_v way_n for_o rule_n which_o be_v very_o indifferent_a to_o we_o he_o ought_v in_o his_o assumption_n also_o to_o use_v the_o same_o word_n yet_o why_o say_v he_o not_o scripture_n only_o but_o scripture_n letter_n and_o why_o more_o yet_o scripture_n letter_n interpret_v by_o

some_o of_o his_o friend_n do_v unsense_v character_n i_o confess_v scripture_n letter_n can_v be_v the_o rule_n or_o way_n to_o know_v but_o such_o insignificant_a thing_n we_o be_v unacquainted_a
