lead_v i_o to_o my_o second_o question_n ii_o if_o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o to_o turn_v the_o eye_n of_o authority_n quite_o away_o from_o see_v what_o whole_a university_n so_o open_o avow_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n be_v there_o not_o enough_o to_o connive_v at_o we_o who_o be_v but_o a_o few_o and_o act_v private_o and_o not_o without_o the_o excuse_v plea_n of_o extreme_a necessity_n here_o your_o first_o thought_n perhaps_o may_v offer_v you_o this_o distinction_n that_o in_o england_n it_o be_v require_v to_o renounce_v the_o doctrine_n as_o impious_a and_o heritical_a while_o the_o french_a condemn_v it_o only_o as_o false_a erroneous_a contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n pernicious_a seditious_a and_o detestable_a but_o i_o appeal_v to_o your_o second_o thought_n and_o ask_v iii_o be_v those_o two_o word_n impious_a and_o heretical_a so_o vast_o different_a in_o their_o true_a and_o natural_a sense_n from_o the_o other_o half_o dozen_o false_a erroneous_a contrary_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n pernicious_a seditious_a detestable_a that_o all_o these_o six_o may_v voluntary_o be_v affirm_v and_o both_o those_o or_o at_o least_o one_o of_o they_o whatever_o ruin_n attend_v must_v necessary_o be_v deny_v if_o we_o be_v oblige_v as_o sure_o we_o be_v to_o answer_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o proposer_n and_o they_o mean_v no_o more_o by_o heretical_a as_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o their_o religion_n beside_o other_o argument_n sufficient_o assure_v we_o than_o erroneous_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o hope_v this_o three_o question_n will_v prove_v no_o invincible_a difficulty_n for_o be_v not_o what_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n contrary_a to_o faith_n and_o what_o be_v contrary_a to_o faith_n heretical_a especial_o since_o among_o ourselves_o we_o must_v find_v a_o large_a sense_n for_o heretical_a than_o that_o which_o severe_o measure_v its_o conceive_a strict_a notion_n we_o must_v find_v a_o sense_n wherein_o the_o opinion_n of_o antipode_n be_v ancient_o heretical_a and_o the_o turn_v of_o the_o earth_n or_o at_o least_o the_o stand_v of_o the_o sun_n be_v

we_o must_v find_v a_o sense_n that_o may_v justify_v not_o only_o our_o dispute_a schoolman_n who_o often_o on_o slight_a ground_n cry_v out_o heresy_n one_o against_o another_o but_o the_o public_a censor_n of_o book_n and_o qualifier_n of_o opinion_n who_o every_o day_n reject_v many_o doctrine_n as_o heretical_a without_o intend_v to_o divide_v communion_n from_o the_o maintainer_n nay_o we_o must_v find_v a_o sense_n that_o may_v agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o pope_n himself_o in_o his_o prohibitive_a brief_a of_o this_o very_a oath_n which_o he_o say_v contain_v many_o thing_n contrary_a to_o faith_n and_o salvation_n and_o what_o can_v we_o imagine_v shall_v be_v those_o many_o if_o the_o denial_n of_o his_o prince-deposing_a power_n be_v not_o count_v for_o one_o yet_o possible_o neither_o it_o nor_o any_o of_o these_o i_o have_v mention_v be_v in_o precise_a scholastic_a rigour_n heretical_a but_o use_v and_o custom_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o speech_n i_o can_v see_v

to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o reconcile_v more_o clear_o this_o difference_n i_o conceive_v the_o common_a distinction_n of_o material_a and_o formal_a heresy_n very_o useful_a according_a to_o the_o first_o sense_n whatever_o be_v now_o heretical_a always_o be_v so_o in_o its_o inward_a nature_n the_o decision_n of_o the_o church_n operate_a only_o by_o way_n of_o declaration_n of_o the_o

one_o be_v just_o presume_v to_o be_v that_o submit_v not_o to_o the_o know_a determination_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n in_o the_o second_o sense_n many_o tenet_n be_v not_o yet_o heretical_a which_o may_v in_o time_n become_v so_o even_o ●his_v intolerable_o false_a and_o flatter_a position_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v direct_v universal_a king_n over_o all_o the_o world_n be_v not_o yet_o the_o church_n not_o use_v to_o interpose_v her_o authority_n till_o the_o decision_n be_v necessary_a condemn_v as_o heretical_a though_o certain_o none_o that_o pretend_v to_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o true_a loyalty_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o abjure_v so_o damnable_a a_o doctrine_n as_o worse_a than_o impious_a worse_o than_o heretical_a it_o be_v evident_o therefore_o enough_o to_o verify_v
