that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o plain_a but_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a it_o shall_v be_v prove_v now_o from_o whence_o shall_v we_o fetch_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o church_n infallability_n i_o must_v take_v they_o from_o her_o own_o mouth_n and_o believe_v she_o to_o be_v infallible_a because_o she_o tell_v i_o so_o and_o for_o that_o only_a reason_n because_o she_o say_v it_o this_o be_v manifest_o absurd_a for_o no_o man_n bare_a word_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o business_n wherein_o he_o have_v a_o particular_a interest_n to_o be_v partial_a have_v a_o turk_n right_a to_o oblige_v i_o to_o believe_v the_o divinity_n of_o his_o koran_n only_o because_o mahomet_n have_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n gabriel_n bring_v he_o the_o koran_n from_o heaven_n must_v i_o then_o consult_v tradition_n that_o be_v the_o council_n and_o the_o write_n of_o the_o father_n this_o be_v another_o plain_a absurdity_n because_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o way_n can_v be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o three_o quarter_n of_o the_o number_n of_o christian_n and_o more_o who_o be_v ignorant_a of_o greck_n and_o latin_n and_o so_o can_v read_v the_o numberless_a volume_n wherein_o this_o tradition_n be_v to_o be_v find_v or_o must_v every_o one_o believe_v his_o curate_n or_o pastor_n when_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a this_o be_v another_o absurdity_n for_o this_o pastor_n must_v be_v infallible_a or_o i_o can_v build_v my_o faith_n upon_o his_o testimony_n he_o tell_v i_o there_o be_v a_o infallibility_n in_o the_o church_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v it_o which_o way_n soever_o i_o turn_v myself_o i_o fall_v into_o the_o former_a inconvenience_n for_o if_o he_o say_v i_o must_v believe_v it_o without_o proof_n he_o deal_v with_o i_o like_o a_o brute_n and_o not_o as_o a_o rational_a creature_n if_o he_o give_v i_o tradition_n for_o argument_n in_o this_o case_n i_o tell_v he_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o if_o he_o turn_v i_o over_o to_o the_o church_n i_o ask_v where_o be_v this_o church_n if_o he_o send_v i_o to_o the_o pope_n i_o tell_v he_o i_o can_v go_v thither_o and_o if_o i_o can_v i_o be_o tell_v he_o be_v not_o infallible_a if_o he_o send_v i_o to_o a_o council_n i_o say_v there_o be_v none_o now_o sit_v if_o he_o send_v i_o to_o the_o canon_n of_o former_a council_n i_o shall_v answer_v that_o i_o can_v understand_v they_o and_o if_o i_o can_v have_v no_o assurance_n that_o these_o canon_n be_v real_o make_v by_o such_o a_o council_n if_o he_o prove_v that_o these_o canon_n be_v not_o forge_v but_o real_o make_v by_o a_o council_n there_o remain_v another_o difficulty_n which_o i_o can_v get_v over_o viz._n that_o several_a good_a catholic_n maintain_v the_o fallibility_n of_o a_o council_n there_o be_v then_o but_o one_o way_n leave_v to_o satisfy_v myself_o concern_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o h._n scripture_n but_o how_o can_v any_o man_n make_v use_v of_o that_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n for_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v no_o authority_n without_o the_o church_n i_o can_v believe_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n till_o i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v divine_a and_o i_o can_v know_v it_o to_o be_v divine_a but_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o be_v often_o tell_v the_o scripture_n than_o have_v no_o authority_n as_o to_o i_o without_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o you_o will_v have_v i_o believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n you_o must_v therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n convince_v i_o that_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a without_o dependence_n on_o the_o scripture_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v believe_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o scripture_n on_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o after_o that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n on_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n obedience_n the_o absurdity_n of_o blind_a obedience_n if_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a a_o blind_a obedience_n be_v my_o duty_n to_o obtain_v this_o submission_n to_o the_o church_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o assert_v her_o infallibility_n i_o must_v blind_o believe_v all_o that_o the_o church_n affirm_v but_o till_o then_o i_o be_o not_o oblige_v to_o credit_v any_o thing_n which_o the_o scripture_n say_v or_o seem_v to_o say_v for_o i_o be_o not_o capable_a to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n without_o the_o church_n so_o that_o until_o the_o church_n have_v declare_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o equal_a with_o the_o father_n i_o have_v leave_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o church_n have_v not_o deliver_v her_o opinion_n in_o this_o point_n there_o be_v then_o a_o time_n when_o i_o be_v permit_v to_o be_v a_o arrian_n photinian_n or_o socinian_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n whenever_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o church_n to_o determine_v that_o the_o ark_n be_v of_o a_o square_a figure_n equal_a in_o length_n and_o breadth_n or_o that_o aaron_n sandal_n be_v with_o or_o without_o latchet_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o i_o must_v believe_v this_o or_o be_v damn_v can_v any_o man_n be_v unapprehensive_a of_o the_o absurdity_n of_o such_o a_o doctrine_n according_a to_o which_o at_o one_o time_n we_o may_v blaspheme_n god_n without_o the_o least_o danger_n and_o at_o another_o time_n lie_v liable_a to_o damnation_n for_o the_o least_o mistake_n about_o that_o which_o the_o church_n have_v decide_v to_o be_v the_o truth_n these_o gentleman_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v without_o examination_n all_o that_o the_o church_n declare_v and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o heathen_n be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v all_o that_o their_o priest_n told'um_n and_o the_o jew_n to_o receive_v all_o that_o be_v teach_v in_o their_o synagogue_n no_o you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v false_a teacher_n and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v credit_v very_o well_o but_o the_o pagan_n and_o jew_n say_v the_o same_o concern_v my_o pastor_n that_o they_o be_v false_a guide_n and_o if_o the_o jew_n and_o heathen_n be_v bind_v to_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v tell_v they_o by_o their_o guide_n why_o be_v not_o christian_n oblige_v to_o know_v and_o examine_v what_o be_v tell_v they_o by_o the_o church_n at_o least_o they_o ought_v to_o examine_v the_o church_n itself_o and_o her_o authority_n and_o then_o we_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o difficulty_n which_o be_v mention_v before_o after_o all_o this_o if_o a_o short_a and_o easy_a way_n can_v be_v find_v out_o to_o convince_v i_o that_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o quiet_v my_o mind_n because_o i_o know_v not_o where_o to_o find_v this_o infallible_a church_n i_o see_v a_o multitude_n of_o differ_v sect_n in_o the_o east_n and_o west_n in_o europe_n and_o asia_n who_o all_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o church_n and_o that_o all_o other_o party_n of_o christian_n be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n the_o latin_n say_v this_o of_o the_o greek_n and_o the_o greek_n be_v even_o with_o they_o and_o say_v the_o same_o of_o the_o latin_n the_o protestant_n charge_v it_o on_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o papist_n on_o the_o protestant_n i_o must_v know_v which_o of_o all_o these_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o to_o find_v out_o this_o i_o be_o plunge_v into_o a_o abyss_n of_o difficulty_n and_o how_o shall_v i_o find_v my_o way_n out_o or_o extricate_v myself_o for_o there_o be_v no_o way_n leave_v but_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o way_n be_v forbid_v i_o till_o i_o be_o assure_v of_o the_o infallibility_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n without_o which_o i_o can_v be_v certain_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v divine_a it_o may_v possible_o be_v say_v that_o i_o may_v believe_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o scripture_n before_o i_o know_v in_o what_o sect_n of_o christian_n be_v the_o church_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v receive_v by_o all_o the_o several_a sect_n it_o matter_n not_o may_v it_o be_v say_v which_o of_o they_o be_v the_o infallible_a church_n since_o they_o all_o bear_v restimony_n to_o the_o scripture_n and_o there_o be_v one_o among_o they_o that_o be_v infallible_a viz._n the_o true_a church_n for_o she_o wherever_o she_o be_v the_o scripture_n have_v a_o infallible_a testimony_n but_o this_o remedy_n will_v serve_v to_o little_a or_o no_o purpose_n because_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o i_o shall_v know_v which_o of_o these_o sect_n be_v the_o
