papist_n show_v we_o if_o they_o can_v where_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o the_o pope_n alone_o or_o any_o confirm_v by_o the_o pope_n or_o that_o society_n of_o christian_n which_o adhere_v to_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o infallible_a judge_n of_o controversy_n we_o desire_v the_o papist_n if_o they_o can_v to_o let_v we_o see_v any_o of_o those_o assertion_n plain_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n as_o in_o all_o reason_n a_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n ought_v to_o be_v or_o at_o least_o deliver_v with_o a_o full_a consent_n of_o father_n nay_o let_v they_o so_o much_o as_o show_v we_o where_o it_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n teach_v by_o any_o one_o father_n in_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o our_o bless_a saviour_n christ_n and_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v do_v this_o as_o we_o believe_v they_o can_v where_o i_o pray_v be_v their_o either_o scripture_n or_o reason_n that_o the_o pope_n or_o his_o council_n shall_v obtrude_v themselves_o as_o judge_n over_o we_o protestant_n next_o we_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v from_o the_o papist_n whether_o they_o do_v certain_o know_v or_o not_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o scripture_n by_o which_o they_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o church_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o how_o come_v they_o to_o know_v their_o church_n be_v infallible_a but_o if_o they_o do_v then_o sure_o they_o ought_v to_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o have_v the_o same_o mean_n and_o ability_n to_o know_v other_o plain_a place_n in_o scripture_n which_o they_o have_v to_o know_v they_o for_o if_o all_o scripture_n be_v obscure_a how_o come_v they_o to_o know_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o place_n but_o if_o some_o place_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a why_o pray_v may_v not_o protestant_n understand_v they_o as_o well_o as_o papist_n the_o papist_n say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o themselves_o true_a and_o infallible_a yet_o without_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o church_n we_o have_v no_o certain_a mean_n to_o know_v which_o translation_n be_v faithful_a and_o canonical_a or_o what_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o scripture_n and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a argument_n and_o general_a relief_n of_o all_o papist_n to_o which_o the_o protestant_n answer_n that_o yet_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v first_o be_v know_v before_o we_o can_v know_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a for_o the_o papist_n can_v pretend_v any_o other_o proof_n of_o it_o but_o only_o some_o text_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n true_o interpret_v therefore_o either_o they_o must_v be_v mistake_v in_o think_v there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o know_v these_o thing_n but_o their_o church_n infallible_a direction_n or_o else_o we_o must_v be_v exclude_v from_o all_o mean_n of_o know_v her_o direction_n to_o be_v infallible_a for_o the_o proof_n must_v be_v sure_a than_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v or_o it_o be_v no_o proof_n and_o upon_o better_a consideration_n i_o be_o confident_a the_o papist_n dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a faith_n have_v be_v give_v by_o other_o mean_n than_o the_o church_n for_o sure_a they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o adam_n receive_v faith_n by_o the_o church_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o job_n who_o receive_v faith_n by_o revelation_n and_o also_o the_o holy_a apostle_n who_o receive_v faith_n by_o the_o miracle_n and_o preach_v of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n so_o that_o you_o see_v and_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o their_o general_a doctrine_n be_v contradictory_n and_o to_o make_v it_o yet_o plain_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v of_o the_o papist_n if_o they_o shall_v meet_v with_o a_o man_n that_o believe_v neither_o scripture_n church_n nor_o god_n but_o declare_v he_o be_v both_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o believe_v they_o all_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v show_v he_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o build_v his_o faith_n upon_o will_v the_o papist_n tell_v such_o a_o man_n there_o be_v no_o certain_a ground_n how_o he_o may_v be_v convert_v to_o their_o church_n or_o there_o be_v if_o the_o papist_n say_v there_o be_v none_o they_o make_v religion_n a_o uncertain_a thing_n but_o if_o they_o say_v there_o be_v than_o they_o must_v necessary_o either_o argue_v woman-like_a that_o their_o church_n be_v infallible_a because_o it_o be_v infallible_a or_o else_o show_v there_o be_v other_o certain_a ground_n beside_o say_v the_o church_n be_v infallible_a to_o prove_v its_o infallibility_n the_o papist_n demand_v of_o the_o protestant_n if_o they_o believe_v the_o apostle_n write_v all_o the_o scripture_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o how_o come_v we_o to_o call_v and_o believe_v they_o apostolical_a and_o not_o the_o write_n of_o those_o that_o write_v they_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v though_o all_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o write_v by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o confirm_v by_o they_o and_o though_o a_o clerk_n write_v a_o statute_n and_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o confirm_v it_o in_o parliament_n i_o believe_v they_o will_v esteem_v it_o very_o improper_a to_o call_v it_o the_o statute_n of_o such_o a_o clerk_n though_o write_v by_o he_o but_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n because_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o all_o their_o consent_n and_o so_o become_v their_o act_n not_o the_o clerk_n the_o papist_n desire_v we_o to_o tell_v they_o in_o what_o language_n the_o scripture_n remain_v uncorrupted_a and_o we_o desire_v they_o to_o satisfy_v we_o whether_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v it_o or_o not_o necessary_a if_o it_o be_v not_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v do_v well_o without_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a we_o desire_v first_o that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o become_v of_o their_o church_n for_o one_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o year_n together_o all_o which_o time_n they_o must_v confess_v they_o have_v no_o certainty_n of_o scripture_n till_o the_o time_n that_o pope_n clement_n the_o eight_o set_v forth_o their_o approve_a edition_n of_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n and_o none_o sure_a can_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n of_o copies_n currant_n in_o divers_a part_n of_o their_o church_n and_o read_v so_o which_o copy_n may_v be_v false_a in_o some_o thing_n but_o more_o than_o one_o sort_n of_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v true_a in_o all_o thing_n and_o pope_n sixtus_n quintus_n his_o bible_n differ_v from_o pope_n clement_n his_o bible_n in_o a_o multitude_n of_o place_n which_o make_v we_o desire_n to_o be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o papist_n whether_o before_o pope_n sixtus_n quintus_n his_o time_n their_o church_n have_v any_o define_v canon_n of_o scripture_n or_o not_o for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o then_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o their_o church_n be_v a_o most_o excellent_a keeper_n of_o scripture_n for_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n together_o that_o have_v not_o all_o that_o time_n define_v what_o be_v scripture_n and_o what_o be_v not_o but_o if_o the_o papist_n say_v they_o have_v than_o we_o demand_v be_v that_o set_v forth_o by_o pope_n sixtus_n quintus_fw-la or_o be_v it_o set_v forth_o by_o pope_n clement_n or_o if_o by_o a_o three_o different_a from_o they_o both_o why_o do_v they_o not_o name_v he_o if_o it_o be_v that_o set_v forth_o by_o pope_n sixtus_n then_o it_o be_v now_o condemn_v by_o pope_n clement_n if_o that_o of_o clement_n it_o be_v condemn_v by_o that_o of_o sixtus_n so_o that_o error_n must_v necessary_o be_v betwixt_o they_o let_v they_o choose_v which_o side_n they_o please_v and_o for_o the_o book_n of_o maccabee_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v allow_v it_o define_v canonical_a before_o st._n gregorie_n time_n though_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o canonical_a but_o only_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n we_o further_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o papist_n if_o the_o book_n of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la and_o wisdom_n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o st._n james_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a apostle_n approve_v canonical_a or_o not_o if_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o the_o apostle_n canonical_a sure_o the_o papist_n can_v deny_v but_o they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a definition_n and_o authority_n not_o to_o question_v they_o and_o therefore_o err_v in_o do_v so_o and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o approve_v canonical_a by_o the_o apostle_n with_o what_o impudence_n dare_v the_o roman_a church_n now_o approve_v they_o as_o canonical_a and_o yet_o pretend_v that_o all_o their_o doctrine_n be_v apostolical_a and_o if_o they_o say_v these_o book_n be_v not_o question_v they_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o tell_v which_o book_n they_o mean_v which_o be_v not_o always_o know_v to_o be_v canonical_a but_o have_v afterward_o be_v receive_v by_o the_o roman_a church_n to_o be_v such_o so_o that_o this_o argument_n reach_v these_o as_o well_o as_o these_o and_o
divertisement_n of_o stageplay_n or_o hunt_v or_o any_o earthly_a delight_n which_o can_v last_v but_o for_o a_o season_n and_o decay_v in_o our_o very_a enjoy_v they_o and_o must_v soon_o leave_v we_o or_o we_o they_o but_o heavenly_a thought_n the_o more_o and_o long_o we_o practise_v they_o the_o better_a we_o shall_v like_v they_o heavenly_a joy_n so_o far_o exceed_v all_o we_o can_v here_o leave_v as_o they_o be_v all_o we_o can_v ever_o aspire_v to_o have_v this_o we_o all_o know_v but_o few_o of_o we_o practice_n and_o we_o all_o love_n god_n but_o few_o love_n to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n i_o shall_v therefore_o now_o madam_n tell_v you_o as_o the_o prologue_n to_o my_o ensue_a discourse_n that_o the_o grand_a plot_n and_o whole_a design_n of_o it_o move_v chief_o on_o these_o two_o hinge_n first_o in_o confirm_v you_o that_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v build_v on_o god_n holy_a word_n the_o scripture_n which_o we_o protestant_n esteem_v to_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o guide_v to_o our_o action_n and_o the_o true_a touchstone_n to_o try_v all_o matter_n by_o that_o relate_v to_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n as_o certain_o contain_v in_o it_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n the_o second_o thing_n i_o chief_o design_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o neither_o the_o pope_n or_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v infallible_a and_o these_o two_o shall_v make_v up_o the_o principal_a story_n in_o the_o little_a model_n of_o this_o small_a building_n the_o pretend_a infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o grand_a persuasive_a argument_n and_o lure_n to_o invite_v man_n to_o it_o and_o the_o strong_a command_a garrison_n in_o all_o the_o pope_n power_n and_o all_o other_o argument_n and_o persuasion_n be_v but_o like_o the_o small_a open_a village_n about_o this_o garrison_n which_o must_v be_v servant_n to_o they_o that_o be_v master_n of_o it_o and_o if_o a_o papist_n can_v be_v but_o once_o convince_v that_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v infallible_a they_o will_v soon_o be_v bring_v to_o reason_n and_o our_o remain_a difference_n will_v not_o be_v very_o considerable_a i_o shall_v therefore_o only_o light_o discourse_v on_o they_o and_o shall_v no_o further_o trouble_v you_o madam_n then_o brief_o to_o answer_v they_o in_o my_o own_o defence_n i_o meet_v they_o or_o as_o they_o follow_v i_o and_o shall_v only_o do_v as_o the_o wolf_n do_v when_o pursue_v snap_v and_o bite_v in_o his_o own_o defence_n against_o all_o opposer_n without_o alter_v his_o pace_n or_o change_v his_o road_n i_o shall_v neither_o meddle_v with_o the_o papist_n but_o as_o i_o meet_v they_o in_o the_o way_n or_o towards_o make_v of_o my_o way_n to_o my_o two_o design_a point_n which_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o prove_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o guide_v to_o our_o action_n and_o to_o answer_v as_o i_o go_v the_o papist_n main_a argument_n and_o objection_n against_o it_o next_o that_o it_o be_v against_o all_o scripture_n and_o reason_n that_o either_o the_o pope_n or_o the_o popish_a church_n shall_v be_v infallible_a which_o be_v the_o main_a design_n of_o this_o discourse_n and_o if_o i_o can_v by_o god_n assistance_n make_v but_o the_o papist_n believe_v reason_n when_o against_o their_o own_o church_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o by_o this_o little_a pigmy_n discourse_n as_o very_o dwarfish_a as_o it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o hinder_v many_o totter_a protestant_n from_o turn_v papist_n but_o to_o bring_v some_o stubborn_a papist_n to_o turn_v protestant_n or_o at_o least_o not_o to_o have_v such_o a_o infallible_a good_a opinion_n of_o their_o church_n and_o so_o damnable_a a_o bad_a one_o of_o we_o and_o now_o madam_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o this_o my_o discourse_n shall_v be_v end_v as_o soon_o as_o your_o patience_n &_o

any_o apology_n and_o because_o i_o find_v the_o word_n protestant_n be_v so_o bad_o and_o over-large_o interpret_v i_o shall_v first_o acquaint_v you_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v by_o the_o word_n protestant_n the_o doctrine_n of_o luther_n or_o calvin_n or_o geneva_n or_o only_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o that_o wherein_o they_o all_o agree_v with_o perfect_a harmony_n that_o the_o bible_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o guide_v to_o our_o action_n and_o this_o after_o have_v make_v the_o most_o diligent_a and_o impartial_a search_n of_o the_o true_a way_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n i_o full_o believe_v and_o that_o we_o can_v never_o find_v any_o convince_a satisfaction_n but_o on_o this_o rock_n of_o god_n word_n the_o bible_n which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a religion_n of_o protestant_n if_o the_o pope_n be_v indeed_o what_o he_o unjust_o say_v he_o be_v &_o the_o papist_n unreasonable_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n than_o there_o need_v no_o bible_n but_o if_o the_o bible_n be_v than_o there_o need_v no_o pope_n for_o if_o i_o be_v to_o go_v a_o journey_n and_o
