may_v depend_v but_o if_o this_o be_v not_o know_v then_o whether_o they_o be_v still_o to_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v thus_o qualify_v and_o on_o that_o supposition_n presume_o depend_v see_v where_o there_o want_v certainty_n there_o must_v want_v truth_n this_o we_o commend_v to_o every_o one_o serious_a consideration_n for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o own_o immortal_a soul_n that_o they_o may_v not_o depend_v on_o supposition_n conjecture_n or_o at_o best_o but_o on_o probability_n but_o that_o all_o may_v be_v establish_v on_o god_n everlasting_a truth_n manifest_v in_o their_o own_o soul_n the_o truth_n of_o all_o shadow_n and_o that_o which_o fulfil_v all_o addition_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n but_o again_o what_o do_v he_o drive_v at_o what_o do_v he_o intend_v by_o place_v infallibility_n upon_o this_o church_n as_o it_o relate_v to_o man_n to_o we_o it_o must_v either_o be_v to_o set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o not_o if_o not_o we_o can_v find_v it_o be_v worth_a his_o while_n for_o if_o god_n worship_n may_v be_v know_v without_o their_o be_v set_v up_o as_o infallible_a there_o can_v be_v but_o little_a if_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o in_o it_o for_o where_o god_n worship_n be_v true_o know_v such_o must_v love_v god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o who_o so_o love_v god_n can_v avoid_v love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o and_o herein_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n seem_v include_v but_o if_o any_o think_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n can_v be_v set_v up_o but_o as_o direction_n come_v from_o man_n call_v a_o church_n and_o that_o because_o nothing_o can_v set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v infallible_a therefore_o we_o must_v accept_v the_o church_n as_o infallible_a in_o this_o matter_n then_o we_o inquire_v if_o this_o be_v not_o to_o have_v two_o infallible_a rule_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v certain_o one_o infallible_a rule_n and_o if_o this_o church_n be_v another_o then_o here_o be_v two_o but_o as_o this_o be_v improper_a so_o they_o can_v both_o stand_v together_o however_o we_o may_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o in_o the_o mind_n the_o other_o from_o man_n call_v a_o church_n without_o and_o so_o the_o one_o be_v inward_a the_o other_o outward_a but_o take_v this_o in_o the_o best_a sense_n not_o as_o mere_a man_n but_o as_o they_o think_v man_n endue_v with_o god_n spirit_n and_o thereby_o fit_v for_o government_n now_o which_o of_o those_o must_v give_v way_n for_o both_o can_v stand_v in_o equal_a authority_n together_o will_v any_o venture_v to_o say_v that_o the_o inward_a must_v give_v way_n for_o a_o few_o or_o the_o lesser_a number_n can_v be_v so_o such_o as_o many_o or_o the_o great_a number_n however_o not_o as_o this_o church_n that_o be_v set_v up_o as_o the_o ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o truth_n than_o we_o desire_v such_o to_o consider_v if_o they_o do_v not_o justle_v christ_n out_o of_o his_o throne_n or_o at_o least_o set_v up_o a_o tutor_n or_o governor_n over_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n as_o some_o before_o we_o have_v do_v who_o begin_v well_o and_o will_v still_o in_o the_o general_n in_o a_o good_a measure_n acknowledge_v as_o we_o do_v to_o the_o influence_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n but_o then_o they_o tell_v we_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n and_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o to_o tell_v we_o the_o church_n be_v the_o rule_n the_o heir_n while_o under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n though_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o we_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n miss_v your_o meaning_n either_o you_o take_v yourselves_o as_o infallible_a in_o the_o matter_n or_o not_o if_o not_o we_o say_v why_o do_v you_o impose_v upon_o your_o brethren_n for_o if_o you_o be_v not_o infallible_a certain_o you_o must_v allow_v conviction_n to_o precede_v conformity_n but_o if_o you_o think_v yourselves_o infallible_a we_o tell_v you_o notwithstanding_o that_o you_o be_v to_o give_v way_n for_o we_o hope_v all_o will_v conclude_v our_o saviour_n perfect_a and_o every_o way_n infallible_a and_o as_o good_a and_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o any_o church_n can_v be_v while_o he_o be_v in_o that_o body_n prepare_v for_o he_o and_o if_o his_o disciple_n can_v not_o be_v make_v perfect_a while_o he_o so_o abide_v with_o they_o we_o hope_v no_o church_n will_v take_v more_o to_o themselves_o or_o think_v they_o can_v do_v more_o than_o he_o do_v well_o then_o if_o you_o will_v seek_v his_o will_n as_o he_o seek_v or_o do_v the_o father_n will_n you_o must_v do_v as_o he_o do_v you_o must_v tell_v your_o disciple_n or_o those_o that_o depend_v upon_o you_o that_o you_o must_v go_v away_o as_o a_o guide_n to_o they_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o a_o holy_a conversation_n before_o they_o can_v be_v make_v perfect_a for_o it_o be_v certain_o as_o expedient_a for_o you_o to_o let_v all_o know_v how_o far_o your_o ministry_n can_v go_v as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o do_v he_o tell_v his_o

man_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n no_o by_o no_o mean_n but_o we_o will_v have_v all_o to_o know_v that_o the_o best_a of_o gift_n for_o this_o end_n be_v but_o addition_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v perpetuate_v as_o for_o ever_o for_o that_o which_o be_v but_o until_o have_v a_o limit_n and_o end_n in_o he_o that_o give_v they_o and_o as_o all_o aught_o to_o look_v for_o christ_n the_o hope_n of_o glory_n to_o arise_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o fulfil_v every_o addition_n so_o shall_v all_o that_o have_v receive_v any_o gift_n from_o god_n direct_v all_o to_o he_o in_o who_o they_o all_o end_n otherwise_o such_o will_v be_v always_o learning_n but_o can_v never_o know_v that_o truth_n that_o make_v free_a for_o though_o the_o light_n of_o a_o candle_n be_v good_a it_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a it_o be_v in_o the_o night_n and_o they_o that_o use_v it_o be_v sensible_a of_o its_o service_n yet_o in_o in_o its_o use_n wait_v for_o the_o day_n to_o come_v for_o the_o
