the_o trent_n council_n be_v as_o much_o the_o act_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n before_o he_o have_v require_v we_o to_o think_v they_o act_v as_o justifiable_o in_o teach_v they_o as_o paul_n and_o silas_n do_v but_o by_o the_o way_n if_o he_o speak_v this_o as_o the_o fix_a resolution_n of_o all_o their_o church_n not_o to_o admit_v a_o new_a discussion_n of_o

that_o difference_n in_o religion_n be_v everlasting_a but_o thus_o it_o be_v he_o tell_v we_o the_o child_n of_o god_n acquiesce_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n believe_v that_o from_o

to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v leave_v mean_n in_o his_o church_n when_o matter_n of_o our_o common_a faith_n shall_v become_v disputable_a to_o end_n and_o decide_v they_o she_o that_o have_v proceed_v according_a to_o those_o mean_n may_v well_o require_v submission_n to_o her_o authority_n whilst_o she_o show_v herself_o to_o all_o to_o have_v proceed_v aright_o in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v in_o his_o church_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o necessity_n that_o she_o shall_v be_v infallible_a upon_o this_o account_n to_o make_v her_o authority_n receive_v than_o that_o she_o shall_v be_v able_a actual_o and_o immediate_o to_o forgive_v sin_n when_o she_o require_v a_o subjection_n to_o her_o ministry_n in_o work_v their_o cure_n the_o second_o that_o if_o she_o be_v not_o infallible_a in_o her_o decision_n than_o they_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o examination_n of_o every_o private_a man_n and_o be_v so_o any_o one_o may_v find_v fault_n with_o they_o and_o so_o away_o be_v open_a for_o the_o introduce_v as_o many_o religion_n as_o man_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o clear_v the_o truth_n another_o to_o answer_v a_o objection_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o this_o objection_n yet_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v clear_v will_v stand_v firm_a till_o the_o contrary_n be_v prove_v by_o evident_a principle_n of_o our_o christianity_n to_o this_o i_o say_v then_o second_o that_o it_o be_v a_o objection_n of_o that_o absurdity_n that_o it_o can_v never_o rational_o be_v use_v by_o any_o consider_a man_n view_v it_o but_o in_o other_o instance_n a_o father_n may_v command_v a_o son_n to_o do_v wickedness_n the_o son_n

to_o avoid_v this_o inconvenience_n shall_v it_o be_v make_v a_o necessary_a truth_n that_o a_o father_n can_v command_v a_o unlawful_a act_n or_o go_v to_o a_o great_a case_n all_z the_o world_n know_v we_o have_v have_v a_o leviathan_n that_o have_v plead_v that_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v in_o all_o his_o command_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o law_n to_o a_o people_n till_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v make_v they_o so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v interpret_v by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n that_o man_n may_v even_o deny_v christ_n with_o his_o mouth_n so_o he_o believe_v in_o his_o heart_n at_o the_o command_n or_o compulsion_n of_o his_o superior_a and_o all_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o otherwise_o if_o man_n
