utter_a uselessness_n as_o to_o spiritual_a matter_n of_o private_a judgement_n in_o such_o a_o universal_a submission_n require_v to_o a_o judg._n §_o 57_o in_o answer_n to_o these_o text_n first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o general_a that_o trial_n of_o doctrine_n by_o scripture_n be_v either_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o private_a teacher_n make_v by_o the_o church-governor_n of_o which_o trial_n no_o question_n be_v make_v or_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o private_a teacher_n make_v by_o private_a man_n and_o these_o also_o they_o may_v try_v by_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o they_o guide_v themselves_o lest_o our_o trial_n be_v mistake_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o scripture_n according_a to_o the_o exposition_n thereof_o by_o the_o church_n i.e._n in_o her_o general_n council_n or_o in_o the_o most_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o those_o who_o our_o saviour_n depart_v leave_v to_o be_v the_o guide_n of_o the_o church_n and_o expositor_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o thus_o search_v we_o find_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o teacher_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n so_o expound_v we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o withdraw_v our_o belief_n from_o they_o or_o this_o trial_n 3_o by_o scripture_n be_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n i.e._n of_o those_o doctrine_n which_o be_v deliver_v not_o by_o a_o private_a teacher_n but_o by_o a_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o church-guides_a at_o least_o the_o full_a that_o we_o can_v discover_v or_o by_o general_n or_o other_o superior_a council_n or_o by_o the_o apostle_n or_o by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o 1._o now_o the_o allowance_n of_o such_o a_o trial_n may_v be_v understand_v in_o two_o sense_n 1._o either_o in_o this_o sense_n search_v or_o try_v my_o or_o our_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n for_o you_o will_v sure_o find_v my_o doctrine_n agree_v thereunto_o if_o you_o do_v search_v right_a and_o as_o you_o ought_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o trial_n by_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n nay_o of_o the_o apostle_n s._n paul_n by_o the_o berean_o nay_o of_o christ_n himself_o whether_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o he_o urge_v testify_v of_o he_o be_v both_o allow_v and_o recommend_v for_o since_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n of_o the_o teach_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o s._n paul_n or_o of_o the_o church_n from_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o one_o will_v never_o fear_v but_o free_o appeal_v to_o a_o trial_n by_o the_o other_o if_o it_o be_v right_o make_v §_o 58_o 2._o or_o 2_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v in_o this_o sense_n search_v and_o try_v my_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o you_o in_o the_o search_n do_v not_o perceive_v it_o agreeable_a unto_o they_o i_o declare_v that_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v or_o that_o you_o be_v excusable_a in_o reject_v my_o doctrine_n now_o in_o this_o sense_n our_o saviour_n or_o st._n paul_n or_o the_o other_o scripture_n never_o recommend_v private_a man_n search_v or_o give_v any_o such_o privilege_n to_o it_o unless_o you_o put_v this_o clause_n that_o they_o have_v search_v aright_o but_o if_o you_o put_v in_o this_o clause_n then_o be_v the_o searcher_n after_o his_o search_n not_o yet_o at_o liberty_n to_o disbelieve_v the_o apostle_n or_o the_o church_n doctrine_n till_o he_o be_v sure_o first_o that_o he_o have_v search_v aright_o i_o say_v our_o saviour_n or_o the_o scripture_n can_v recommend_v search_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n or_o upon_o such_o condition_n §_o 59_o 1._o first_o because_o such_o a_o searcher_n or_o tryer_n by_o the_o scripture_n there_o may_v be_v as_o be_v prejudice_v by_o passion_n or_o interest_n or_o miseducation_n or_o as_o search_v negligent_o and_o cold_o or_o as_o have_v not_o a_o sufficient_a capacity_n to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n he_o search_v when_o perhaps_o it_o be_v in_o some_o difficult_a point_n wherein_o they_o be_v not_o so_o clear_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v search_v the_o text_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o point_n deliver_v by_o st._n paul_n of_o the_o abrogate_a of_o circumcision_n under_o the_o gospel_n neither_o can_v any_o body_n be_v secure_a of_o his_o dis-engagement_n from_o all_o such_o let_n of_o use_v a_o right_a judgement_n in_o search_v §_o 60_o 2._o because_o however_o the_o search_n or_o the_o searcher_n prove_v there_o be_v other_o mean_n and_o m_o dium_n by_o which_o be_v prove_v to_o man_n the_o truth_n of_o such_o doctrine_n and_o by_o which_o not_o bear_v witness_n to_o a_o falsity_n one_o may_v discover_v himself_o to_o have_v make_v his_o search_n of_o scripture_n amiss_o so_o often_o as_o he_o think_v it_o to_o contradict_v they_o such_o medium_n be_v miracle_n and_o other_o mighty_a operation_n do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o which_o our_o saviour_n jo._n 5.36_o and_o elsewhere_o and_o s._n paul_n rom._n â—5_n
