name_n there_o be_o i_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o but_o the_o purpose_n of_o question_n this_o question_n be_v to_o bring_v the_o godly_a and_o simple_a into_o perplexity_n and_o doubt_n for_o when_o they_o confess_v that_o god_n govern_v his_o church_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n forthwith_o the_o popish_a bishop_n conclude_v thereof_o that_o the_o church_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v err_v and_o hereby_o they_o suppose_v that_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o wit_n that_o what_o soever_o they_o under_o the_o title_n and_o name_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v thrust_v upon_o man_n be_v both_o good_a and_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o unto_o these_o mate_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o we_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o church_n whereof_o they_o brag_v to_o be_v the_o true_a primative_a apostolic_a church_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v prove_v second_o we_o d●●_n not_o confess_v that_o the_o err_v church_n can_v not_o altogether_o or_o in_o all_o point_n err_v for_o so_o long_o as_o she_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o only_o harken_v unto_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o by_o his_o motion_n and_o word_n she_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v err_v but_o if_o she_o swerve_v at_o any_o time_n from_o the_o government_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o govern_v after_o her_o own_o lust_n then_o true_o she_o not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o do_v err_v but_o if_o any_o will_v ask_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v swerve_v from_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a and_o may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n here_o upon_o this_o earth_n often_o time_n under_o moses_n the_o judge_n and_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o juda_n have_v err_v yea_o and_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n who_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v err_v and_o have_v their_o fall_n for_o who_o be_v ignorant_a what_o happen_v to_o david_n aaron_n peter_n and_o other_o the_o holy_a saint_n and_o disciple_n of_o chryst_n yea_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o church_n be_v gather_v not_o of_o angel_n but_o of_o man_n wherefore_o although_o it_o be_v inspire_v and_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o thereby_o turn_v into_o the_o spirit_n for_o it_o keep_v still_o her_o flesh_n and_o the_o infirmity_n thereof_o yea_o even_o unto_o death_n who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o write_n which_o saint_n paul_n have_v general_o utter_v touch_v the_o battle_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o ungodly_a and_o unbeléever_v only_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o even_o in_o the_o faithful_a also_o and_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o battle_n be_v so_o vehement_n and_o sharp_a that_o even_o thereby_o the_o godly_a be_v force_v not_o to_o do_v that_o good_a and_o just_a thing_n which_o they_o know_v but_o to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v read_v s._n paul_n five_o chapter_n to_o the_o galatian_n &_o also_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o roman_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o same_o apostle_n call_v the_o galatian_n and_o corinthian_n 1._o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n as_o purify_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o govern_v by_o his_o
the_o pope_n to_o be_v the_o true_a &_o only_a church_n of_o chryst_n which_o the_o faithful_a throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n without_o all_o manner_n of_o question_n aught_o to_o believe_v and_o obey_v as_o shall_v manifest_o appear_v by_o the_o question_n follow_v and_o this_o question_n true_o be_v very_o absurd_a for_o it_o be_v alone_o as_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v demand_v whether_o any_o one_o city_n in_o a_o realm_n be_v the_o whole_a realm_n or_o no_o or_o whether_o that_o any_o one_o man_n in_o a_o multitude_n be_v the_o whole_a company_n or_o no_o or_o whether_o the_o hand_n or_o foot_n of_o some_o one_o body_n be_v the_o whole_a body_n or_o no_o for_o before_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o this_o word_n catholic_a signify_v universal_a and_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o any_o faithful_a man_n but_o by_o these_o question_n they_o open_o show_v unto_o the_o world_n their_o foolishness_n or_o rather_o their_o exceed_a and_o intolerable_a pride_n while_o they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v one_o part_n to_o be_v the_o whole_a and_o to_o have_v full_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o govern_v in_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n company_n and_o body_n wherefore_o to_o this_o question_n whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o true_a catholic_a rome_n church_n or_o no_o i_o answer_v thus_o if_o they_o demand_v of_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o rome_n to_o the_o which_o paul_n write_v his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n in_o the_o which_o also_o he_o remain_v a_o prisoner_n and_o preach_v by_o the_o space_n of_o two_o year_n then_o i_o confess_v the_o same_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o faithful_a church_n of_o chryst_n but_o not_o the_o universal_a church_n or_o the_o head_n of_o all_o other_o church_n but_o only_o a_o member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n under_o one_o head_n chryst_n of_o like_a and_o equal_a power_n with_o other_o the_o church_n of_o chryst_n which_o be_v here_o on_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o minister_n thereof_o be_v of_o no_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n than_o the_o minister_n of_o other_o church_n the_o like_a have_v saint_n hierome_n write_v concern_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o bishop_n thereof_o in_o these_o word_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v think_v that_o there_o be_v one_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o a_o other_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o where_o so_o ever_o a_o bishop_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o of_o eugubium_n or_o of_o constantinople_n or_o of_o rhegium_n etc_n etc_n he_o be_v of_o like_a authority_n and_o like_o priesthood_n by_o the_o which_o word_n he_o teach_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o better_a than_o other_o church_n wheresoever_o they_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a woride_n and_o that_o the_o bishop_n thereof_o have_v no_o more_o power_n or_o superiority_n of_o priesthood_n than_o other_o bishop_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o small_a or_o in_o great_a city_n but_o if_o they_o demand_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o now_o be_v in_o the_o sort_n and_o manner_n church_n as_o all_o man_n see_v under_o these_o bishop_n and_o as_o it_o have_v be_v also_o of_o late_a by_o the_o space_n of_o a_o few_o hundred_o year_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o altogether_o differ_v from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o ancient_a and_o apostolic_a church_n of_o rome_n and_o therefore_o may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v acknowledge_v for_o the_o universal_a and_o catholic_a church_n whereof_o it_o boast_v for_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o chryst_n build_v by_o the_o apostle_n at_o rome_n and_o else_o where_o be_v no_o more_o there_o to_o be_v sound_o namely_o the_o spirit_n of_o chryst_n which_o love_v pure_a modest_a and_o
