to_o take_v care_n of_o his_o soul_n so_o as_o under_o the_o pretence_n hereof_o to_o disobey_v their_o resolution_n and_o instruction_n in_o faith_n or_o manner_n who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o

where_o there_o be_v no_o evident_a certainty_n always_o make_v sure_a to_o side_n with_o the_o church_n xxix_o principle_n 29_o no_o christian_n can_v be_v oblige_v under_o princ._n any_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n to_o believe_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o what_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o that_o book_n wherein_o he_o believe_v his_o will_n to_o be_v

which_o rejection_n be_v no_o make_v negative_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o only_o apply_v the_o general_a ground_n of_o faith_n to_o particular_a instance_n as_o i_o believe_v nothing_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o scripeure_n therefore_o no_o such_o particular_a thing_n which_o neither_o be_v there_o nor_o can_v be_v deduce_v thence_o 1._o here_o first_o observe_v that_o what_o no_o 54._o christian_a be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v under_o any_o pretence_n of_o church-infallibility_a he_o be_v much_o rather_o not_o oblige_v to_o believe_v under_o any_o pretence_n of_o church_n authority_n and_o that_o the_o doctor_n free_v the_o church_n subject_n here_o from_o the_o former_a do_v so_o from_o the_o late_a it_o concern_v therefore_o his_o superior_n to_o look_v to_o it_o whether_o their_o church_n and_o their_o own_o authority_n suffer_v no_o detriment_n particular_o from_o this_o principle_n i_o mean_v so_o as_o it_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o private_a man_n practice_n 2._o next_o observe_v that_o the_o expression_n 55._o what_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o person_n must_v either_o mean_a what_o such_o person_n only_o think_v believe_v or_o be_v persuade_v to_o be_v reveal_v etc._n etc._n or_o what_o such_o person_n certain_o know_v to_o be_v reveal_v and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o late_a expression_n what_o have_v no_o foundation_n what_o be_v contrary_a now_o as_o either_o of_o these_o two_o addition_n be_v make_v a_o great_a alteration_n be_v make_v in_o the_o principle_n and_o what_o in_o the_o one_o addition_n be_v true_a in_o the_o other_o may_v be_v false_a as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o culpable_a ignorance_n believe_v something_o that_o be_v enjoin_v by_o this_o authority_n not_o to_o be_v reveal_v in_o god_n word_n which_o indeed_o be_v so_o and_o so_o reject_v it_o here_o such_o act_n be_v not_o justifiable_a very_o necessary_a therefore_o it_o seem_v here_o to_o make_v a_o exact_a distinction_n that_o if_o the_o doctor_n mean_v it_o here_o of_o the_o one_o viz._n certain_a knowledge_n it_o may_v not_o be_v misapply_v by_o any_o to_o the_o other_o namely_o a_o belief_n or_o full_a persuasion_n for_o so_o man_n set_v once_o upon_o examine_v well_o in_o such_o high_a mystery_n their_o own_o certainty_n will_n i_o conceive_v never_o find_v just_a cause_n to_o reject_v what_o this_o church-authority_n to_o which_o they_o owe_v obedience_n recommend_v to_o they_o upon_o her_o certainty_n but_o to_o take_v expression_n as_o they_o lie_v 56._o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o principle_n thus_o much_o be_v grant_v that_o no_o christian_a can_v be_v oblige_v under_o any_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n to_o believe_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o what_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o his_o word_n write_a or_o unwritten_a 210_o both_o which_o the_o doctor_n else_o where_o allow_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o value_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o be_v his_o word_n where_o i_o add_v unwritten_a because_o though_o it_o be_v grant_v before_o on_o principle_n 14._o that_o the_o word_n write_v or_o book_n of_o scripture_n contain_v all_o those_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v simple_o necessary_a to_o be_v of_o all_o person_n believe_v for_o attain_v salvation_n yet_o some_o article_n of_o a_o christian_n faith_n there_o may_v be_v that_o be_v not_o there_o contain_v which_o may_v be_v also_o secure_o preserve_v in_o the_o church_n by_o ecclesiastical_a tradition_n both_o write_a and_o unwritten_a derive_v at_o first_o from_o the_o apostolical_a as_o for_o example_n this_o by_o protestant_n confess_v that_o these_o book_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v thus_o much_o be_v grant_v for_o no_o church-infallibility_a be_v now_o pretend_a but_o only_o in_o declare_v what_o this_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v require_v authorize_v and_o a_o

ground_n itself_o on_o this_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o the_o consequence_n also_o be_v grant_v 57_o viz._n that_o a_o christian_a be_v bind_v to_o reject_v whatsoever_o be_v offer_v to_o be_v impose_v upon_o his_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n or_o god_n word_n as_o before_o explain_v or_o be_v contrary_a thereto_o that_o be_v which_o be_v certain_o know_v to_o such_o christian_n to_o be_v so_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o faith_n enjoin_v by_o such_o authority_n but_o what_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v so_o found_v but_o then_o such_o
