go_v on_o with_o the_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o after_o these_o come_v in_o the_o catholic_n church_n now_o this_o be_v a_o manifest_a proof_n that_o the_o belief_n of_o

shall_v be_v i_o believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n and_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o so_o on_o my_o second_o reflection_n say_v he_o be_v that_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v as_o you_o do_v that_o the_o first_o authority_n a_o child_n begin_v to_o live_v under_o be_v that_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o first_o authority_n a_o child_n live_v under_o be_v his_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o if_o you_o please_v his_o nurse_n and_o that_o the_o church_n can_v take_v place_n till_o afterward_o but_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n depend_v upon_o the_o other_o the_o consequence_n whereof_o be_v that_o the_o first_o authority_n which_o be_v the_o paternal_a can_v as_o well_o lead_v the_o child_n to_o scripture_n as_o it_o can_v to_o the_o church_n then_o three_o say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o easy_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o retort_v your_o own_o argument_n back_o upon_o yourself_o thus_o the_o baptize_v child_n either_o doubt_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n or_o he_o do_v not_o if_o he_o do_v not_o than_o he_o believe_v it_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n for_o he_o to_o believe_v it_o with_o a_o divine_a faith_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n that_o induce_v man_n to_o believe_v scripture_n but_o scripture_n that_o induce_v the_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o contend_v for_o if_o he_o do_v doubt_n than_o there_o be_v a_o christian_n that_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o faith_n convey_v to_o he_o by_o baptism_n and_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o doubt_n which_o be_v that_o first_o authority_n whereupon_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o faith_n depend_v now_o that_o the_o child_n can_v with_o a_o divine_a faith_n believe_v the_o church_n authority_n any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n i_o prove_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o scripture_n that_o he_o believe_v the_o church_n and_o its_o authority_n then_o it_o be_v either_o by_o way_n of_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o enthusiasm_n or_o by_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o nurse_n authority_n or_o by_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o church_n this_o can_v not_o be_v by_o enthusiasm_n because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o proceed_v in_o such_o a_o method_n nor_o by_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o nurse_n authority_n for_o you_o discern_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o advance_v such_o kind_n of_o authority_n for_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o faith_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v by_o proper_a proof_n and_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o

believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n by_o the_o scripture_n which_o you_o will_v not_o grant_v or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o at_o all_o but_o doubt_n of_o it_o and_o so_o you_o ●all_n
