to_o prove_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v err_v but_o every_o body_n may_v see_v by_o his_o doubtful_a set_n it_o down_o that_o he_o can_v well_o tell_v what_o to_o affirm_v of_o it_o for_o he_o will_v not_o consent_v with_o such_o romish_a catholic_n as_o teach_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v err_v and_o also_o teach_v heresy_n if_o he_o define_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o a_o council_n 2._o and_o he_o dare_v not_o agree_v with_o pighius_fw-la but_o reject_v his_o opinion_n who_o although_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v be_v a_o heretic_n or_o teach_v heresy_n open_o though_o he_o alone_o define_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o master_n bellarmine_n will_v walk_v in_o a_o middle_a path_n which_o be_v this_o that_o whither_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v a_o heretic_n or_o not_o he_o can_v set_v down_o any_o heresy_n to_o be_v believe_v of_o the_o whole_a church_n wherein_o this_o conditional_a manner_n of_o speak_v if_o or_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o heretic_n or_o not_o do_v show_v his_o doubtfulness_n in_o this_o question_n but_o because_o he_o be_v perchance_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n especial_o in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o a_o more_o resolute_a opinion_n i_o urge_v not_o this_o point_n any_o further_o but_o this_o be_v his_o flat_a resolution_n 3_o that_o when_o the_o pope_n teach_v the_o whole_a church_n he_o can_v err_v by_o any_o mean_n in_o the_o thing_n belong_v to_o faith_n no_o neither_o yet_o in_o precept_n of_o manner_n 5_o which_o be_v prescribe_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o which_o be_v of_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v of_o themselves_o good_a or_o evil_n further_o also_o he_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v provable_a and_o may_v godly_o be_v believe_v for_o i_o set_v down_o his_o word_n that_o he_o can_v not_o only_o not_o err_v as_o he_o be_v pope_n but_o also_o as_o he_o be_v a_o particular_a man_n he_o can_v he_o an_o heretic_n in_o believe_v any_o thing_n obstinate_o against_o the_o faith_n whereby_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o master_n bellarmine_n hold_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v neither_o err_v at_o all_o in_o faith_n or_o precept_n of_o manner_n as_o he_o teach_v the_o whole_a church_n neither_o can_v he_o be_v a_o obstinate_a heretic_n as_o he_o be_v but_o a_o private_a man_n not_o consider_v he_o as_o pope_n against_o which_o doctrine_n i_o brief_o oppose_v 2._o or_o 3._o argument_n the_o first_o be_v that_o which_o immediate_o before_o i_o touch_v he_o may_v sin_v they_o deny_v it_o not_o 1._o therefore_o he_o may_v also_o fall_v into_o heresy_n which_o thus_o i_o prove_v the_o selfsame_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n sanctify_v be_v also_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n as_o powerful_a to_o work_v the_o one_o effect_n as_o the_o other_o and_o he_o that_o pray_v not_o for_o peter_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o the_o apostle_n that_o their_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v although_o the_o word_n satan_n desire_v to_o sift_v you_o be_v direct_v to_o peter_n as_o to_o one_o perchance_o bold_a than_o the_o rest_n and_o proud_a of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o keep_v he_o under_o as_o theoph._n write_v even_o he_o i_o say_v pray_v also_o for_o all_o unto_o his_o father_n 5._o that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v they_o with_o his_o truth_n the_o same_o father_n also_o from_o who_o must_v come_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n will_v as_o david_n assure_v we_o guide_v the_o humble_a in_o his_o way_n which_o thing_n the_o same_o prophet_n often_o pray_v for_o because_o of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n but_o our_o sufficiency_n be_v of_o god_n and_o why_o do_v god_n spirit_n lighten_v our_o heart_n and_o instruct_v our_o conscience_n if_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v fruitful_a in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n yea_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o work_v in_o we_o any_o knowledge_n according_a to_o that_o promise_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n so_o much_o claim_v but_o that_o therewith_o also_o it_o reform_v we_o it_o do_v not_o give_v faith_n but_o that_o withal_o it_o do_v purify_v us._n yea_o it_o frame_v unto_o obedience_n all_o such_o as_o it_o train_v to_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n do_v purify_v our_o heart_n by_o this_o knowledge_n we_o all_o beh●lde_a as_o in_o a_o

christian_a as_o true_a religion_n i_o marvel_v that_o master_n bellarmine_n or_o any_o other_o shame_v not_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n can_v err_v from_o the_o right_a path_n of_o knowledge_n as_o if_o they_o be_v whole_o lead_v by_o god_n spirit_n whereas_o many_o of_o they_o have_v whole_o wander_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o godly_a life_n as_o man_n nothing_o guide_v but_o quite_o forsake_v of_o that_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o this_o i_o suppose_v may_v serve_v for_o my_o first_o argument_n such_o as_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o god_n spirit_n to_o live_v godly_a be_v not_o teach_v by_o the_o same_o but_o many_o of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o lead_v by_o god_n spirit_n to_o live_v godly_a therefore_o many_o of_o they_o be_v not_o teach_v by_o the_o same_o and_o by_o consequent_a they_o may_v err_v for_o they_o have_v no_o colour_n of_o not_o err_v but_o that_o only_a that_o they_o claim_v the_o direction_n of_o that_o spirit_n that_o be_v never_o promise_v to_o such_o profane_a prelate_n nor_o can_v lodge_v in_o such_o sink_v of_o sin_n my_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o pope_n adrian_n the_o sixth_o do_v teach_v err_v that_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v a_o heretic_n and_o teach_v heresy_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v defendet_fw-la by_o he_o and_o other_o 2._o as_o master_n bellarmine_n himself_o confess_v so_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v believe_v of_o all_o and_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o question_n of_o faith_n especial_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n whether_o the_o pope_n may_v err_v or_o not_o thus_o than_o i_o reason_n adrian_z the_o sixth_o pope_n of_o that_o name_n do_v either_o say_v that_o which_o be_v false_a or_o that_o which_o be_v true_a if_o he_o say_v false_a than_o he_o be_v a_o pope_n be_v deceive_v in_o judgement_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o such_o a_o matter_n as_o he_o will_v shall_v be_v receive_v universal_o as_o a_o catholic_a doctrine_n and_o so_o the_o pope_n have_v err_v if_o he_o say_v true_a then_o be_v it_o also_o evict_v by_o his_o testimony_n that_o the_o pope_n may_v err_v for_o he_o affirm_v it_o so_o so_o that_o whether_o he_o lie_v or_o speak_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o which_o i_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v for_o if_o he_o lie_v himself_o err_v if_o he_o say_v true_a other_o may_v err_v the_o third_o argument_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o example_n of_o such_o as_o do_v err_v err_v i_o say_v of_o such_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o have_v be_v by_o their_o own_o story_n pontificali_fw-la note_v for_o heretic_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o pope_n marcellinus_n who_o sacrifice_v to_o idol_n as_o also_o story_n do_v testify_v because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o repent_v he_o thereof_o but_o yet_o we_o may_v learn_v out_o of_o he_o that_o if_o a_o pope_n may_v fall_v to_o such_o frailty_n as_o to_o commit_v so_o gross_a idolatry_n which_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n then_o to_o fall_v into_o many_o of_o the_o heresy_n that_o be_v condemn_v by_o that_o name_n of_o the_o father_n he_o may_v also_o err_v
father_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o as_o plain_a term_n as_o they_o can_v devise_v this_o council_n do_v oppose_v themselves_o to_o that_o which_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v seek_v to_o obtain_v and_o thus_o it_o appear_v how_o untrue_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v deal_v very_o long_o since_o to_o exalt_v herself_o above_o other_o and_o to_o maintain_v she_o own_o pride_n and_o how_o she_o have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o those_o learned_a father_n be_v bridle_v in_o their_o council_n wherein_o they_o have_v set_v down_o law_n to_o mitigate_v and_o keep_v under_o their_o immoderate_a affection_n how_o soever_o they_o will_v sometime_o write_v or_o speak_v of_o they_o or_o to_o they_o that_o be_v bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o reverence_n of_o the_o person_n be_v man_n often_o time_n endue_v with_o very_o good_a gift_n and_o such_o as_o by_o their_o acquaintance_n and_o credit_n be_v in_o the_o imperial_a city_n do_v help_v

or_o how_o just_a a_o claim_n he_o may_v make_v to_o be_v supreme_a head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o survey_v of_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n which_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o

something_o be_v say_v of_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o treatise_n which_o be_v a_o proof_n or_o examination_n of_o the_o pope_n practice_n but_o herein_o i_o must_v consider_v of_o two_o point_n first_o how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_n they_o get_v unto_o that_o high_a estate_n wherein_o now_o they_o be_v second_o after_o what_o manner_n they_o have_v use_v themselves_o in_o the_o same_o in_o few_o word_n how_o they_o have_v rule_v and_o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o sudden_o or_o in_o one_o instant_a advance_v to_o this_o place_n of_o excessive_a pride_n and_o insatiable_a ambition_n wherein_o she_o now_o challenge_v rule_n and_o dominion_n over_o all_o that_o profess_v christianity_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o but_o a_o thing_n very_o pertinent_a to_o this_o my_o purpose_n to_o see_v by_o what_o step_v the_o pope_n have_v come_v to_o such_o height_n &_o by_o what_o practice_n he_o have_v attain_v to_o such_o honour_n whereas_o therefore_o the_o godly_a father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v many_o time_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o help_n or_o counsel_n need_n or_o comfort_n of_o the_o good_a bishop_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v

towards_o all_o as_o of_o their_o power_n over_o all_o and_o yet_o a_o man_n may_v be_v as_o good_a as_o he_o will_v to_o they_o over_o who_o he_o have_v no_o power_n at_o al._n although_o therefore_o we_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v deny_v that_o which_o the_o author_n of_o the_o apology_n for_o the_o english_a seminary_n do_v so_o confident_o pronounce_v that_o the_o famous_a father_n call_v for_o aid_n comfort_n and_o counsel_n in_o their_o distress_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n yet_o just_o we_o may_v and_o for_o the_o truths_n sake_n we_o must_v affirm_v that_o this_o seek_v for_o these_o cause_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o prove_v he_o to_o have_v authority_n over_o all_o but_o only_o that_o at_o such_o time_n he_o have_v better_a mean_n to_o help_v the_o
