church-authority_n when_o doubt_n arise_v about_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o letter_n the_o addresser_n hold_v if_o he_o be_v a_o catholic_a that_o scripture_n right_o understand_v be_v a_o rule_n of_o

therefore_o mean_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o diminish_v its_o divine_a authority_n his_o design_n be_v to_o preserve_v it_o and_o that_o each_o man_n private_a sense_n may_v not_o sacrilegious_o pretend_v to_o be_v that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o as_o st._n peter_n mind_v we_o be_v not_o of_o private_a interpretation_n it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o authority_n or_o use_v of_o scripture_n he_o write_v but_o against_o the_o protestant_n unjust_a and_o insignificant_a method_n of_o use_v it_o i_o will_v here_o make_v good_a the_o charge_n hope_v that_o when_o he_o think_v fit_a he_o will_v much_o more_o full_o perform_v it_o by_o the_o very_a answer_n give_v to_o his_o question_n which_o i_o shall_v set_v down_o in_o that_o order_n and_o sense_n in_o which_o the_o answerer_n construe_v they_o qu._n 1._o whether_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v contain_v in_o scripture_n ans_fw-fr scripture_n must_v contain_v these_o necessary_n all_o catholic_n ever_o own_v what_o st._n augustin_n teach_v 9_o de_fw-fr doctr._n ch._n l._n 2._o c._n 9_o that_o all_o thing_n which_o concern_v faith_n and_o manner_n of_o life_n be_v find_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v plain_o contain_v in_o scripture_n so_o that_o as_o st._n gregory_n express_v it_o god_n need_v speak_v to_o we_o no_o more_o by_o any_o new_a revelation_n for_o as_o the_o same_o st._n augustin_n observe_v in_o the_o question_n betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o donatist_n about_o true_a baptism_n which_o he_o hold_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n though_o we_o have_v no_o proof_n in_o this_o case_n from_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o we_o follow_v the_o truth_n of_o holy_a scripture_n even_o in_o this_o case_n when_o we_o do_v what_o the_o universal_a present_a church_n approve_v of_o which_o church_n be_v commend_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o very_a scripture_n but_o the_o case_n in_o this_o first_o question_n as_o it_o appear_v state_v by_o the_o addresser_n be_v whether_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v immediate_o and_o express_o contain_v in_o scripture_n or_o draw_v thence_o by_o a_o evident_a consequence_n our_o answerer_n prove_v they_o be_v so_o by_o the_o three_o follow_a text_n his_o proof_n i_o will_v set_v in_o a_o due_a form_n that_o their_o force_n may_v lie_v open_a to_o all_o the_o first_o text_n be_v take_v out_o of_o john_n 20.31_o where_o the_o evangelist_n have_v premise_v v._n 30._o many_o other_o sign_n also_o do_v jesus_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o disciple_n which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o this_o book_n say_v v._o 31._o these_o which_o he_o have_v set_v down_o be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n in_o his_o name_n now_o what_o conclusion_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o this_o text_n to_o our_o present_a purpose_n but_o one_o in_o one_o of_o these_o two_o form_n first_o thus_o the_o sign_n set_v down_o by_o st._n john_n ch_z 20._o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o precise_o to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v life_n in_o his_o name_n or_o to_o salvation_n therefore_o the_o 20_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o else_o thus_o in_o the_o answerer_n word_n all_o that_o be_v as_o sufficient_a in_o its_o kind_n to_o beget_v faith_n in_o we_o as_o faith_n be_v to_o save_v we_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o the_o 20_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n be_v gospel_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o ver_fw-la 31._o be_v as_o sufficient_a to_o beget_v faith_n in_o we_o therefore_o that_o 20_o chapter_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n a_o special_a piece_n of_o logic_n however_o his_o conclusion_n ease_v the_o member_n of_o his_o congregation_n from_o the_o obligation_n of_o read_v any_o part_n of_o scripture_n beside_o the_o 20_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n gospel_n the_o second_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v 2_o tim._n 3.15_o 16._o where_o the_o apostle_n have_v thus_o warn_v timothy_n immediate_o before_o v._o 14._o continue_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o thou_o have_v learn_v and_o be_v commit_v to_o thou_o know_v of_o who_o thou_o have_v learn_v by_o which_o word_n he_o renew_v the_o command_n he_o have_v give_v he_o 1.13_o 1_o tim._n 6.20_o 2_o tim._n 1.13_o o_o timothy_n keep_v the_o depositum_fw-la have_v a_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n which_o thou_o have_v hear_v of_o i_o in_o faith_n the_o say_a apostle_n mind_v he_o that_o in_o his_o infancy_n he_o have_v read_v the_o old_a testament_n which_o bear_v sufficient_o witness_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n v._o 15_o 16._o because_o from_o thy_o infancy_n thou_o have_v know_v the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o can_v instruct_v thou_o the_o protestant_n version_n have_v make_v thou_o wise_a to_o salvation_n by_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n all_o scripture_n inspire_v of_o god_n be_v profitable_a to_o teach_v to_o argue_v to_o correct_v to_o instruct_v in_o justice_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a instruct_v to_o every_o good_a work_n hence_o the_o minister_n argue_v thus_o the_o same_o apostle_n that_o say_v all_o scripture_n i._n e._n each_o part_n of_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a to_o salvation_n but_o man_n can_v be_v wise_a to_o salvation_n without_o know_v what_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n here_o he_o leave_v we_o but_o i_o will_v make_v up_o the_o syllogism_n therefore_o the_o old_a testament_n alone_o nay_o every_o part_n of_o scripture_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o minister_n rest_v satisfy_v with_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o
