A45831	Rome is no rule, or, An answer to an epistle published by a Roman Catholic who stiles himself Cap. Robert Everard and may serve for an answer to two Popish treatises, the one entituled The question of questions, and the other Fiat lux, out of which books the arguments urged in the said epistle against the authority of the Scriptures and the infallibility of the Roman Church are collected : in which answer, the authority of the Scriptures is vindicated and the arguments for the Roman infallibility refuted / by J.I.

to_o inveigh_v against_o protestant_n for_o their_o private_a doubtful_a and_o uncertain_a expound_v of_o scripture_n let_v i_o give_v you_o the_o exposition_n of_o a_o whole_a college_n of_o catholic_n upon_o this_o very_a text_n under_o debate_n either_o say_v they_o st._n paul_n mean_v this_o epistle_n in_o the_o word_n before_o or_o some_o other_o see_v the_o rhemist_n marginal_a note_n upon_o the_o place_n sure_o this_o be_v infallible_a indeed_o it_o be_v either_o this_o or_o some_o other_o at_o this_o rate_n of_o infallibility_n any_o private_a spirit_n shall_v interpret_v scripture_n all_o day_n long_o viz._n either_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n or_o some_o other_o nine_o and_o last_o if_o any_o canonical_a scripture_n be_v lose_v will_v not_o this_o redound_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n since_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o only_o be_v the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o divine_a truth_n and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v the_o conservator_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o posterity_n now_o if_o any_o book_n be_v lose_v as_o you_o say_v there_o be_v how_o have_v they_o infallible_o keep_v what_o they_o say_v be_v long_o since_o commit_v to_o their_o trust_n thus_o you_o desperate_o venture_v to_o wound_v the_o reputation_n of_o the_o scripture_n though_o you_o make_v the_o sword_n by_o which_o you_o do_v it_o to_o pass_v through_o the_o reins_o of_o your_o darling_n infallibility_n in_o pag._n 19_o you_o come_v to_o a_o four_o reason_n why_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v a_o guide_n to_o convey_v divine_a and_o infallible_a faith_n to_o all_o and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o can_v be_v understand_v by_o all_o nay_o you_o say_v they_o be_v very_o subject_a to_o be_v misunderstand_a if_o we_o will_v believe_v the_o 2_o pet._n 3.16_o where_o speak_v of_o st._n paul_n epistle_n he_o say_v there_o be_v some_o thing_n hard_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o they_o that_o be_v unlearned_a and_o unstable_a wrest_v as_o they_o do_v also_o the_o other_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a you_o say_v to_o urge_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a and_o easy_a in_o fundamental_o and_o in_o what_o concern_v salvation_n for_o we_o have_v here_o a_o plain_a testimony_n that_o they_o be_v wrest_v to_o their_o own_o destruction_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v a_o safe_a rule_n nor_o any_o rule_n at_o all_o to_o the_o ignorant_a etc._n etc._n though_o this_o argument_n be_v answer_v already_o yet_o i_o answer_v further_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o learned_a man_n that_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o the_o pope_n can_v infallible_o interpret_v they_o what_o a_o madness_n and_o childishness_n be_v it_o for_o the_o catholic_n themselves_o to_o lie_n swagger_v and_o contend_v with_o one_o another_o before_o all_o the_o world_n with_o fallible_a medium_n about_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n when_o they_o have_v one_o among_o they_o that_o infallible_o can_v interpret_v they_o and_o that_o with_o such_o authority_n as_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o rest_n in_o and_o contend_v no_o further_o and_o the_o further_a mischief_n of_o it_o be_v that_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n this_o man_n be_v always_o silent_a as_o to_o exposition_n of_o scripture_n who_o alone_o be_v able_a to_o part_v the_o fray_n now_o methinks_v this_o argue_v a_o great_a want_n of_o good_a nature_n that_o the_o pope_n can_v see_v his_o child_n so_o fierce_o wrangle_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o give_v out_o the_o infallible_a meaning_n of_o every_o place_n and_o so_o stint_v the_o strife_n among_o they_o see_v he_o can_v do_v it_o if_o he_o will_n but_o again_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o be_v by_o some_o wrest_a to_o their_o damnation_n that_o therefore_o they_o be_v either_o no_o guide_n at_o all_o or_o at_o the_o best_a but_o uncertain_a one_o pray_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o question_n or_o two_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v no_o infallible_a guide_n because_o many_o of_o his_o word_n be_v wrest_v by_o the_o jew_n to_o their_o destruction_n as_o that_o of_o his_o destroy_v the_o temple_n and_o building_n it_o in_o three_o day_n job_n 2.19_o and_o do_v not_o they_o wrest_v his_o word_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n when_o christ_n say_v mat._n 26.64_o 65._o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o thereupon_o say_v he_o have_v speak_v blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o need_v no_o other_o witness_n against_o he_o and_o likewise_o they_o say_v he_o blaspheme_v when_o he_o tell_v the_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v so_o that_o speech_n of_o christ_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v to_o learned_a nicodemus_n job_n 3._o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n do_v it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n again_o be_v the_o canon_n and_o decree_n of_o general_a council_n more_o secure_a from_o be_v misinterpret_v then_o the_o scripture_n or_o do_v they_o use_v more_o plainness_n of_o speech_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v in_o the_o scripture_n or_o be_v nothing_o that_o they_o determine_v of_o necessity_n to_o salvation_n if_o so_o then_o why_o may_v not_o their_o word_n be_v wrest_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o those_o that_o be_v unlearned_a or_o unstable_a as_o well_o or_o rather_o as_o ill_o as_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o so_o i_o demand_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o as_o good_a nay_o a_o better_a argument_n against_o themselves_o viz._n some_o wrest_v the_o judgement_n and_o definition_n of_o the_o church_n to_o their_o destruction_n ergo_fw-la the_o church_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o all_o nor_o indeed_o any_o guide_n to_o the_o ignorant_a which_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n be_v not_o this_o the_o same_o if_o not_o a_o better_a argument_n then_o to_o say_v the_o unlearned_a wrest_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n ergo_fw-la the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o all_o nor_o any_o guide_n at_o all_o to_o the_o ignorant_a i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v your_o 5_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o guide_n rule_n and_o judge_n it_o must_v only_o be_v mean_v of_o their_o true_a original_a and_o authentic_a write_n and_o not_o of_o corrupt_a copy_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o true_a original_n our_o rule_n be_v imperfect_a and_o again_o pag._n 20._o you_o say_v if_o we_o have_v the_o original_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v a_o man_n that_o do_v so_o infallible_o understand_v the_o original_n as_o to_o give_v we_o a_o true_a translation_n this_o you_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v out_o of_o several_a protestant_a writer_n pag._n 20._o &_o 21._o viz._n that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o original_n themselves_o nor_o undoubted_a translation_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a guide_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v already_o may_v suffice_v to_o this_o argument_n yet_o to_o make_v full_a measure_n run_v over_o let_v i_o add_v that_o this_o very_a objection_n lie_v with_o the_o like_a force_n against_o general_a council_n for_o first_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n that_o you_o have_v the_o true_a original_a and_o authentic_a write_n wherein_o those_o decree_n be_v contain_v second_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n whether_o the_o scribe_n that_o commit_v they_o to_o write_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o not_o three_o how_o do_v you_o know_v with_o a_o divine_a certitude_n that_o these_o council_n decree_n and_o canon_n be_v true_o and_o infallible_o translate_v since_o they_o be_v write_v in_o a_o language_n that_o i_o know_v not_o if_o you_o say_v i_o have_v they_o translate_v by_o private_a doctor_n than_o i_o query_n if_o private_a doctor_n be_v infallible_a if_o they_o be_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o a_o pope_n or_o a_o general_n council_n if_o they_o be_v fallible_a why_o may_v they_o not_o fail_v when_o they_o tell_v i_o they_o have_v faithful_o interpret_v and_o translate_v the_o sense_n of_o council_n and_o father_n but_o if_o they_o be_v private_a person_n can_v give_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o council_n and_o father_n why_o may_v not_o man_n of_o the_o same_o ability_n for_o learning_n and_o piety_n give_v as_o perfect_v a_o translation_n and_o as_o infallible_a a_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n so_o that_o the_o argument_n cut_v as_o much_o with_o one_o edge_n as_o the_o other_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v guide_v

when_o you_o say_v you_o make_v this_o search_n according_a to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o your_o understanding_n how_o do_v you_o infallible_o know_v that_o your_o understanding_n be_v not_o deprave_v and_o that_o you_o be_v not_o give_v over_o to_o a_o injudicious_a mind_n four_o do_v you_o not_o pretend_v to_o have_v use_v the_o same_o mean_n to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n when_o you_o turn_v a_o independent_a as_o you_o do_v when_o you_o do_v turn_v papist_n last_o if_o so_o how_o be_v you_o more_o able_a to_o answer_v the_o turk_n or_o jew_n now_o than_o you_o be_v when_o your_o catholic_n friend_n begin_v to_o discourse_v with_o you_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o p._n 8._o and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o 9_o you_o say_v that_o you_o gather_v from_o heb._n 1●_n 6_o

must_v be_v some_o mean_v appoint_v by_o god_n by_o which_o we_o may_v know_v this_o true_a faith_n from_o all_o false_a opinion_n or_o else_o you_o say_v p._n 10._o that_o pprophecy_n will_v be_v

rule_n and_o the_o judge_n since_o one_o party_n propose_v the_o spirit_n to_o be_v his_o guide_n a_o second_o propose_v reason_n to_o be_v his_o rule_n a_o three_o propose_v scripture_n the_o four_o assign_v the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n etc._n etc._n you_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o and_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n bear_v witness_n with_o our_o spirit_n or_o in_o plain_a term_n the_o private_a spirit_n be_v not_o that_o judge_n your_o reason_n be_v because_o any_o one_o whether_o he_o be_v jew_n pagan_a or_o christian_a if_o he_o have_v but_o confidence_n enough_o may_v pretend_v to_o the_o spirit_n but_o since_o you_o say_v the_o great_a difficulty_n be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o rule_n i_o will_v glad_o know_v how_o this_o difficulty_n shall_v be_v infallible_o resolve_v for_o if_o the_o private_a spirit_n within_o i_o must_v not_o resolve_v i_o nor_o my_o reason_n must_v not_o be_v my_o rule_n nor_o the_o scripture_n my_o guide_n then_o i_o have_v no_o light_n leave_v i_o to_o show_v i_o the_o church_n but_o the_o church_n thus_o they_o deal_v like_o thief_n put_v out_o all_o other_o light_n that_o shall_v discover_v they_o but_o their_o own_o dark_a

pretend_v to_o the_o spirit_n that_o have_v it_o not_o so_o many_o pretend_v to_o miracle_n that_o have_v they_o not_o then_o we_o must_v have_v faith_n to_o believe_v those_o miracle_n be_v true_a and_o if_o they_o be_v true_a they_o be_v no_o otherwise_o true_a but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n then_o it_o be_v the_o same_o absurdity_n to_o believe_v miracle_n by_o the_o spirit_n testimony_n as_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o spirit_n testimony_n but_o this_o also_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n for_o if_o i_o must_v find_v the_o church_n by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n persuade_v i_o that_o she_o do_v those_o miracle_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n than_o ●ave_n you_o contradict_v yourself_o by_o say_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o the_o

scripture_n as_o you_o say_v you_o believe_v the_o church_n by_o the_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o last_o be_v the_o great_a absurdity_n and_o may_v not_o a_o turk_n say_v the_o same_o for_o his_o

the_o church_n by_o the_o scripture_n than_o the_o question_n will_v be_v how_o you_o know_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o you_o say_v because_o the_o church_n teach_v they_o be_v so_o than_o you_o run_v round_o like_o a_o horse_n in_o a_o mill_n prove_v the_o church_n by_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o church_n you_o give_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o
