if_o a_o arrian_n come_v and_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v pater_fw-la maior_fw-la i_o est_fw-la and_o therefore_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o true_o god_n nor_o

decision_n of_o controversy_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o itself_o without_o the_o church_n authority_n much_o profitable_a for_o that_o purpose_n but_o to_o

of_o scripture_n it_o be_v fit_a they_o will_v first_o prove_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o instrument_n make_v to_o determine_v controversy_n or_o any_o other_o of_o those_o principle_n which_o i_o show_v you_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v true_a if_o scripture_n be_v our_o rule_n but_o this_o they_o can_v never_o prove_v and_o therefore_o they_o seek_v first_o to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o a_o secure_a and_o natural_a mean_n of_o rely_v upon_o our_o forefather_n which_o nevertheless_o in_o all_o civil_a and_o economical_a conversation_n they_o themselves_o can_v not_o live_v without_o and_o then_o to_o leave_v we_o to_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o voluntary_a and_o unendable_a disputation_n reflect_v than_o i_o pray_v cousin_n upon_o what_o we_o have_v say_v and_o compare_v our_o yesternight_n and_o this_o our_o morning_n discourse_n together_o consider_v first_o how_o many_o thing_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v conserve_v in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o faith_n and_o good_a life_n in_o her_o subject_n then_o see_v how_o many_o point_n have_v be_v and_o be_v quarrel_v and_o if_o any_o have_v escape_v how_o all_o the_o rest_n may_v be_v call_v in_o question_n with_o as_o much_o probability_n and_o appearance_n as_o these_o be_v then_o look_v upon_o the_o quality_n of_o that_o decider_n of_o controversy_n where_o unto_o all_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n do_v seek_v to_o draw_v we_o by_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o end_n of_o controversy_n but_o to_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o then_o

much_o material_a to_o our_o purpose_n what_o ever_o the_o truth_n be_v suppose_v we_o acknowledge_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o such_o as_o have_v descend_v unto_o we_o by_o tradition_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n the_o second_o part_n of_o your_o objection_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o great_a force_n because_o some_o divines_n seem_v to_o acknowledge_v a_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n which_o have_v power_n not_o only_o to_o determine_v either_o speculative_a or_o practical_a point_n of_o doctrine_n new_a or_o old_a in_o such_o manner_n as_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v oblige_v to_o accept_v or_o not_o oppose_v its_o definition_n which_o every_o catholic_a grante_n and_o the_o reason_n i_o tell_v you_o in_o our_o first_o conference_n do_v evident_o convince_v but_o also_o that_o this_o authority_n can_v so_o determine_v even_o a_o speculative_a point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o hitherto_o be_v ever_o uncertain_a nor_o ever_o acknowledge_v as_o reveil_v or_o esteem_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n that_o here_o after_o the_o uhole_a church_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v acknowledge_v and_o believe_v it_o as_o a_o reveal_v and_o necessary_a point_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o opinion_n you_o must_v know_v be_v but_o a_o opinion_n nor_o do_v the_o author_n of_o it_o oblige_v any_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o as_o certain_a nor_o do_v they_o condemn_v those_o who_o nether_a do_v nor_o ever_o will_v acknowledge_v any_o such_o position_n and_o therefore_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o trouble_v you_o nay_o contrariwise_o all_o divines_n will_v general_o tell_v you_o that_o no_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v make_v that_o there_o be_v now_o no_o revelation_n for_o new_a point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v our_o only_a law_n maker_n in_o this_o kind_n have_v suggest_v to_o his_o apostle_n all_o that_o be_v necessary_a of_o this_o nature_n and_o quality_n and_o the_o apostle_n likewise_o teach_v their_o church_n all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v of_o this_o degree_n wherefore_o you_o see_v all_o agree_v upon_o tradition_n nor_o any_o one_o either_o deny_v it_o or_o doubt_v of_o it_o whereas_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o opinion_n that_o they_o do_v not_o universal_o and_o general_o agree_v in_o any_o other_o mean_n or_o rule_n of_o faith_n though_o some_o admit_v of_o another_o in_o way_n of_o opinion_n yet_o to_o give_v you_o far_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o business_n i_o will_v teach_v you_o a_o point_n of_o philosophy_n which_o perhaps_o you_o never_o full_o understand_v i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o it_o be_v a_o different_a question_n to_o ask_v how_o a_o herb_n or_o tree_n grow_v and_o to_o ask_v how_o aristole_n or_o theophrastus_n say_v it_o grow_v for_o in_o the_o same_o grow_v there_o can_v be_v no_o variety_n but_o in_o their_o opinion_n there_o may_v so_o in_o man_n it_o
