if_o in_o his_o own_o singularity_n he_o think_v it_o disagree_v from_o the_o scripture_n so_o desperate_a be_v the_o possibility_n of_o union_n among_o they_o that_o hope_v which_o imagine_v impossible_a thing_n can_v possible_o imagine_v it_o answer_n as_o every_o defect_n and_o imperfection_n tend_v unto_o dissolution_n so_o the_o good_a estate_n of_o every_o body_n aswell_o politic_a and_o mystical_a as_o natural_a do_v consist_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o whole_a &_o harmony_n of_o the_o part_n among_o themselves_o therefore_o see_v the_o band_n of_o unity_n knit_v many_o

unity_n which_o kind_n of_o reason_n move_v the_o philosopher_n to_o give_v the_o preeminence_n to_o a_o monarchy_n before_o other_o simple_a form_n so_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o place_n whence_o you_o take_v your_o rise_n from_o the_o unity_n of_o god_n church_n do_v build_v the_o unity_n of_o faith_n as_o also_o the_o unity_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n urge_v a_o

whole_a body_n this_o be_v a_o mark_n saint_n paul_n will_v we_o to_o aim_v at_o and_o endeavour_n to_o attain_v the_o perfection_n of_o it_o but_o you_o as_o if_o your_o church_n have_v already_o attain_v it_o and_o be_v perfect_a in_o this_o unity_n of_o faith_n have_v fancy_v to_o yourself_o such_o a_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n and_o such_o a_o infallible_a mean_n to_o enjoy_v the_o same_o as_o do_v expel_v all_o difference_n in_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n remove_v all_o occasion_n of_o doubt_n and_o reply_n and_o unto_o which_o perfect_a obedience_n be_v tie_v by_o this_o cognisance_n have_v you_o discern_v and_o note_v the_o only_a true_a catholic_a church_n and_o thereby_o cut_v of_o all_o protestant_n from_o that_o body_n so_o do_v tully_n describe_v a_o orator_n who_o never_o yet_o be_v know_v either_o at_o rome_n or_o athens_n so_o do_v plato_n imagine_v a_o commonwealth_n collect_v of_o the_o select_a perfection_n of_o all_o society_n and_o so_o have_v your_o chemical_a fancy_n conceit_v a_o church_n in_o her_o state_n here_o militant_a which_o by_o trial_n will_v prove_v a_o mere_a utopia_n not_o to_o be_v find_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o you_o may_v easy_o conceive_v even_o in_o reason_n that_o albeit_o unity_n be_v essential_a to_o a_o body_n and_o consequent_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n yet_o as_o there_o be_v many_o degree_n of_o perfection_n in_o the_o church_n so_o be_v there_o likewise_o of_o unity_n in_o faith_n concern_v the_o very_a body_n of_o religion_n and_o more_o material_a point_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v in_o our_o church_n a_o uniform_a accord_n and_o agreement_n though_o in_o other_o branch_n some_o difference_n as_o among_o yourselves_o how_o many_o jar_n betwixt_o aquin_n and_o scotus_n and_o y_fw-fr e_o rest_n of_o that_o school_n scarce_o three_o of_o they_o say_v one_o thing_n how_o many_o error_n condemn_v in_o your_o cardinal_n caietan_n by_o melchior_n canus_n and_o bellarmin_n the_o jacobins_n and_o the_o cordelians_n can_v never_o agree_v about_o the_o virgin_n mary_n her_o conception_n in_o a_o word_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o so_o many_o order_n of_o friar_n almost_o so_o many_o sect_n in_o opinion_n and_o deadly_a quarrel_n even_o at_o this_o day_n wherefore_o before_o this_o your_o peremptory_a conclusion_n of_o depose_v church_n it_o have_v be_v a_o point_n very_o requisite_a first_o to_o have_v define_v what_o degree_n of_o unity_n be_v necessary_a and_o what_o kind_n of_o difference_n bring_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o utter_v dissolution_n so_o that_o it_o remain_v no_o long_o to_o be_v a_o church_n but_o you_o take_v a_o course_n most_o easy_a to_o deceive_v yourself_o and_o other_o discourse_v aloof_o in_o generality_n and_o take_v the_o perfection_n of_o unity_n at_o the_o high_a pitch_n to_o make_v a_o more_o glorious_a show_n so_o then_o the_o weight_n of_o this_o your_o argument_n rest_v itself_o upon_o these_o two_o point_n first_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o his_o church_n militant_a a_o perpetual_a and_o infallible_a mean_n of_o unity_n in_o faith_n and_o such_o a_o unity_n as_o take_v away_o variety_n of_o judgment_n and_o opinion_n remove_v all_o occasion_n of_o doubt_n and_o reply_v and_o unto_o which_o absolute_a obedience_n be_v tie_v second_o that_o this_o mean_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o not_o else_o where_o let_v we_o brief_o examine_v the_o first_o ground_n which_o if_o it_o prove_v sandy_a the_o whole_a frame_n of_o this_o your_o building_n fall_v by_o it_o own_o weight_n saint_n paul_n his_o argument_n in_o the_o four_o to_o the_o ephesian_n from_o whence_o you_o have_v raise_v this_o whole_a discourse_n in_o your_o own_o sense_n make_v direct_o against_o you_o for_o as_o from_o unity_n of_o god_n church_n he_o build_v the_o unity_n of_o faith_n so_o do_v he_o likewise_o the_o unity_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n then_o if_o from_o the_o defect_n of_o unity_n in_o faith_n you_o will_v go_v backward_o to_o deny_v the_o church_n you_o must_v deny_v it_o likewise_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o text_n upon_o any_o quarrel_n or_o contention_n civil_a or_o eccleasticall_a which_o do_v impeach_v the_o unity_n of_o love_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n but_o i_o wot_v you_o will_v be_v better_o advise_v and_o grant_v there_o may_v be_v a_o visible_a church_n though_o the_o unity_n of_o peace_n be_v not_o in_o perfection_n and_o may_v there_o not_o be_v one_o also_o among_o we_o in_o some_o difference_n of_o judgment_n yea_o much_o more_o since_o variety_n of_o opinion_n rise_v common_o from_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o judgement_n whereas_o those_o other_o quarrel_n proceed_v rather_o from_o malice_n and_o envy_n and_o therefore_o be_v less_o venial_a and_o more_o likely_a to_o take_v away_o the_o possibility_n of_o dependence_n upon_o god_n let_v we_o then_o leave_v to_o strain_v at_o gnatte_n and_o ingenuous_o acknowledge_v thus_o much_o at_o the_o first_o that_o all_o difference_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o true_a church_n next_o that_o all_o unity_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o church_n for_o there_o may_v be_v aswellconspiracie_n in_o error_n as_o unity_n in_o faith_n yea_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n be_v at_o unity_n with_o itself_o or_o else_o say_v our_o saviour_n it_o 24._o can_v not_o possible_o endure_v if_o this_o policy_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o his_o kingdom_n no_o marvel_n if_o the_o same_o be_v find_v among_o his_o instrument_n as_o the_o prophet_n nahum_n speak_v of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n people_n the_o assyrian_n compare_v they_o to_o a_o fir_n bush_n or_o 10._o heap_n of_o thorn_n twine_v or_o folden_a one_o within_o another_o your_o next_o shift_n will_v be_v that_o difference_n of_o judgment_n among_o catholic_n before_o definitive_a sentence_n give_v be_v neither_o damnable_a nor_o concern_v matter_n of_o faith_n but_o after_o the_o church_n have_v give_v her_o voice_n unto_o which_o perfect_a obedience_n be_v tie_v then_o such_o a_o truth_n so_o determine_v be_v present_o to_o be_v embrace_v without_o reply_n or_o further_a enquiry_n which_o conceit_n seem_v to_o make_v void_v the_o end_n of_o that_o divine_a dispensation_n by_o which_o you_o affirm_v some_o sediiton_n and_o faction_n to_o spring_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 4._o which_o in_o his_o wisdom_n be_v not_o only_o permit_v but_o dispose_v and_o order_v to_o the_o exercise_n and_o more_o full_a trial_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o which_o purpose_n we_o be_v often_o urge_v in_o the_o text_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n try_v the_o spirit_n prove_v all_o thing_n but_o here_o be_v a_o short_a cut_n for_o a_o catholic_a only_o these_o two_o point_n first_o in_o any_o doubtful_a question_n undetermine_v either_o let_v he_o suspend_v his_o judgement_n or_o if_o he_o lift_v to_o take_v a_o side_n it_o be_v not_o dangerous_a until_o the_o church_n have_v define_v and_o then_o second_o after_o definitive_a sentence_n let_v he_o embrace_v it_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n without_o further_a examination_n i_o think_v this_o trial_n be_v too_o too_o easy_a that_o a_o catholic_a shall_v put_v himself_o into_o such_o complete_a armour_n as_o you_o e_o apostle_n bid_v as_o to_o have_v his_o loin_n 17._o gird_v with_o verity_n his_o foot_n shod_a with_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o take_v unto_o he_o the_o shield_n of_o faith_n the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o make_v such_o search_n and_o examination_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o 39_o god_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n so_o he_o keep_v himself_o within_o compass_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n which_o be_v very_o spacious_a he_o may_v safe_o fight_v on_o which_o side_n he_o listen_v without_o danger_n and_o when_o sentence_n be_v past_a yield_v consent_n with_o security_n which_o position_n i_o must_v needs_o confess_v have_v the_o advantage_n of_o man_n nature_n far_o above_o the_o other_o for_o that_o which_o we_o desire_v and_o wish_v for_o we_o be_v easy_o induce_v to_o believe_v wherefore_o every_o man_n natural_o affect_v to_o enjoy_v security_n with_o all_o facility_n and_o ease_n that_o may_v be_v do_v willing_o persuade_v himself_o of_o this_o and_o the_o like_a plausible_a conceit_n even_o by_o the_o sway_n of_o his_o own_o inclination_n which_o thing_n make_v it_o no_o whit_n less_o suspect_v of_o error_n but_o rather_o much_o more_o because_o every_o natural_a motion_n and_o desire_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v either_o quite_o subdue_v and_o root_v out_o or_o at_o the_o least_o so_o cross_v and_o qualify_v as_o it_o seldom_o remain_v the_o same_o so_o then_o to_o draw_v this_o whole_a point_n to_o a_o
principle_n of_o faith_n wherein_o consist_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o religion_n these_o first_o principle_n of_o religion_n assent_v unto_o by_o this_o infuse_a faith_n as_o the_o principle_n of_o
