A42451	Five captious questions propounded by a factor for the papacy answered by a divine of the Church of God in England by parallel questions and positive resolutions : to which is added an occasional letter of the Lord Viscount Falkland to the same gentleman, much to this present purpose.	Gataker, Charles, 1614 or 15-1680.; Falkland, Lucius Cary, Viscount, 1610?-1643.	1673 (1673)	Wing G306; ESTC R24961	63,053	90

infallibility_n will_v not_o serve_v a_o papist_n turn_v when_o he_o talk_v of_o a_o guide_n though_o the_o poor_a soul_n in_o that_o synagogue_n never_o see_v any_o but_o such_o guide_n which_o be_v

by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v how_o particular_a christian_n be_v by_o this_o man_n explication_n of_o the_o word_n church_n set_v forward_o in_o

the_o apostle_n have_v finish_v their_o course_n the_o church_n subsist_v upon_o the_o stock_n of_o their_o doctrine_n with_o a_o ordinary_a ministry_n erect_v and_o support_v by_o christ_n in_o

that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a hypothesis_n of_o papist_n will_v not_o serve_v for_o a_o ground_n of_o divine_a faith_n that_o a_o council_n when_o it_o be_v assemble_v be_v true_o a_o full_a meeting_n of_o only_a lawful_a pastor_n and_o that_o they_o proceed_v so_o as_o to_o be_v assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n since_o the_o learned_a be_v not_o agree_v on_o the_o condition_n requisite_a to_o make_v the_o body_n of_o a_o assembly_n fit_a for_o the_o spirit_n of_o infallibility_n and_o the_o unlearned_a be_v never_o able_a by_o disquisition_n to_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o

matter_n of_o holy_a life_n in_o which_o there_o be_v as_o much_o danger_n if_o you_o mistake_v the_o way_n of_o rush_v into_o hell_n as_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n if_o reason_n and_o ordinary_a pastor_n without_o any_o fancy_n of_o infallibility_n can_v apply_v scripture-light_n to_o guide_v our_o foot_n certain_o in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n why_o be_v there_o more_o necessity_n of_o a_o council_n to_o teach_v we_o matter_n of_o faith_n than_o to_o instruct_v we_o in_o holiness_n of_o life_n mistake_v i_o not_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o authority_n of_o council_n as_o useful_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o peace_n and_o for_o the_o more_o vigorous_a suppression_n of_o false_a teacher_n which_o corrupt_v the_o truth_n but_o i_o see_v no_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o that_o extraordinary_a power_n to_o teach_v the_o church_n diffusive_a the_o form_n of_o wholesome_a doctrine_n establish_v now_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o age_n to_o the_o faith_n once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n 4._o but_o suppose_v a_o general_a lawful_a council_n to_o be_v the_o only_a teacher_n to_o be_v trust_v how_o shall_v particular_a christian_n be_v infallible_o assure_v of_o their_o doctrine_n the_o knowledge_n whereof_o be_v convey_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n but_o such_o as_o be_v confess_o fallible_a and_o therefore_o you_o will_v still_o be_v to_o seek_v for_o a_o sufficient_a guide_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o grand-signior_n all_o the_o objection_n make_v against_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o they_o be_v use_v for_o instrument_n to_o discover_v the_o

urge_v to_o the_o disenable_v the_o canon_n of_o council_n from_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n of_o faith_n than_o they_o can_v be_v to_o the_o degrade_n of_o scripture_n from_o that_o dignity_n in_o the_o church_n since_o the_o word_n of_o a_o council_n in_o the_o original_n can_v be_v plain_a nor_o more_o expressive_a of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n than_o those_o which_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n
