he_o can_v reclaim_v he_o he_o must_v tell_v the_o church_n which_o can_v be_v understand_v for_o any_o but_o that_o particular_a church_n among_o who_o he_o reside_v which_o you_o say_v be_v such_o as_o may_v err_v in_o judgement_n 3_o by_o the_o same_o parity_n of_o reason_n a_o single_a private_a man_n can_v err_v because_o the_o text_n say_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v hear_v if_o he_o admonish_v his_o brother_n of_o his_o fault_n ver_fw-la 15_o 16_o 17._o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o brother_n sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v he_o and_o the_o text_n further_o say_v if_o his_o brother_n do_v hear_v he_o that_o he_o have_v gain_v his_o brother_n but_o if_o this_o brother_n may_v err_v than_o he_o may_v err_v in_o admonish_v and_o the_o admonish_v person_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v gain_v to_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v gain_v to_o a_o error_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o your_o argument_n i_o be_o to_o hear_v the_o church_n therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v may_v you_o not_o as_o logical_o infer_v that_o because_o i_o be_o to_o hear_v a_o single_a private_a brother_n therefore_o a_o single_a private_a brother_n can_v err_v and_o by_o this_o you_o will_v make_v all_o the_o son_n of_o your_o church_n infallible_a like_o the_o pope_n your_o father_n and_o by_o this_o rule_n parent_n be_v infallible_a because_o they_o must_v be_v hear_v by_o their_o child_n your_o next_o scripture_n be_v mat._n 28.20_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o joh._n 24.16_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o will_v send_v you_o another_o comforter_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v and_o ver_fw-la 26._o the_o comforter_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n into_o your_o remembrance_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o and_o chap._n 16.17_o i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v hear_v they_o now_o howbeit_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n from_o which_o you_o infer_v that_o if_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n shall_v be_v with_o his_o apostle_n for_o ever_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n it_o follow_v they_o shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o this_o text_n in_o st._n matthew_n can_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n for_o you_o because_o you_o say_v you_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a of_o st._n mathews_n gospel_n and_o can_v tell_v whether_o he_o that_o do_v translate_v it_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n or_o no._n 2_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n may_v preserve_v the_o apostle_n from_o all_o error_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v engage_v to_o secure_v the_o church_n from_o err_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o 3_o i_o answer_v further_o if_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v lead_v the_o church_n in_o all_o age_n into_o all_o truth_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v lead_v they_o irresistable_o though_o it_o may_v lead_v they_o sufficient_o but_o 4._o may_v i_o not_o as_o well_o infer_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n that_o therefore_o all_o the_o world_n can_v be_v but_o effectual_o and_o irresistable_o convince_v as_o you_o may_v say_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v promise_v to_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n that_o therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v but_o must_v be_v effectual_o so_o lead_v 5_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v mean_v notorious_a and_o wicked_a man_n now_o than_o this_o spirit_n some_o of_o those_o pope_n which_o you_o call_v the_o apostle_n successor_n can_v not_o have_v because_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v notorious_o and_o confess_o wicked_a all_o which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v make_v to_o direct_v and_o guide_v we_o into_o a_o further_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n till_o we_o come_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o christ_n upon_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v faithful_a in_o what_o we_o already_o know_v like_o unto_o that_o promise_n joh._n 17.17_o if_o any_o man_n do_v his_o will_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v the_o rhemi●●_n testament_n translate_n that_o text_n of_o john_n 14.15_o 16._o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o comandement_n and_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o will_v give_v you_o another_o paraclete_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o now_o how_o can_v i_o be_v infallible_a that_o the_o pope_n be_v thus_o guide_v unless_o i_o do_v infallible_o know_v that_o he_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 6_o you_o say_v 〈◊〉_d into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n but_o this_o follow_v not_o not_o more_o then_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n goodness_n lead_v to_o repentance_n that_o therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o impenitency_n and_o last_o if_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n imply_v preserve_v from_o all_o error_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o since_o your_o church_n as_o you_o say_v be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n into_o all_o truth_n that_o she_o do_v not_o preserve_v all_o her_o son_n from_o all_o error_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v see_v do_v guide_v they_o all_o sufficient_o though_o not_o efficient_o although_o that_o be_v false_a yet_o you_o have_v answer_v yourself_o for_o though_o god_n spirit_n and_o goodness_n be_v sufficient_a to_o lead_v to_o truth_n and_o repentance_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o there_o be_v as_o sad_a experience_n teach_v multitude_n of_o err_a and_o impenitent_a person_n your_o next_o text_n be_v ephes_n 4.11_o he_o give_v some_o prophet_n some_o evangelist_n some_o pastor_n and_o some_o teacher_n for_o perfect_v the_o saint_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o edify_a the_o body_n of_o christ_n till_o we_o come_v in_o the_o union_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o ver_fw-la 14._o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o child_n in_o understanding_n etc._n etc._n from_o which_o text_n you_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o church_n be_v to_o preserve_v people_n from_o be_v toss_v to_o and_o fro_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o what_o then_o do_v this_o prove_v the_o church_n can_v err_v this_o mean_n be_v use_v by_o god_n for_o the_o perfect_a of_o saint_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o imperfection_n thus_o god_n may_v teach_v and_o the_o church_n not_o learn_v god_n spirit_n may_v lead_v and_o the_o church_n like_a rome_n may_v be_v refractory_a your_o last_o text_n be_v 1_o tim._n 3.15_o the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o trust._n hence_o you_o will_v infer_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v because_o we_o may_v secure_o rely_v upon_o she_o as_o upon_o a_o pillar_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o respect_v the_o universal_a church_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o but_o the_o particular_a church_n which_o timothy_n have_v the_o oversight_n of_o in_o which_o paul_n admonish_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v behave_v himself_o but_o 2._o if_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v here_o mean_v and_o not_o a_o particular_a church_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o prove_v nothing_o to_o your_o purpose_n because_o church_n and_o people_n receive_v their_o denomination_n ordinary_o from_o what_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o not_o from_o what_o they_o be_v by_o necessity_n thus_o the_o disciple_n be_v call_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o they_o be_v in_o duty_n to_o be_v so_o and_o not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v otherwise_o else_o it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o threaten_v they_o that_o if_o they_o lose_v their_o savour_n they_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o ground_n of_o in_o point_n of_o duty_n and_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o she_o may_v neglect_v and_o violate_v this_o duty_n and_o become_v the_o teacher_n of_o error_n but_o last_o the_o church_n may_v be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n not_o only_o because_o she_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o because_o in_o all_o age_n she_o be_v so_o in_o that_o she_o teach_v and_o maintain_v
