some_o of_o they_o as_o the_o sorbonist_n do_v place_n it_o in_o the_o council_n other_o as_o the_o jesuit_n in_o the_o pope_n alone_o and_o final_o other_o in_o they_o both_o both_o joint_o now_o choose_v which_o of_o those_o you_o please_v you_o will_v find_v yourself_o involve_v into_o inextricable_a difficulty_n and_o as_o i_o say_v before_o under_o a_o necessity_n to_o sacrifice_v to_o a_o unknown_a god_n which_o i_o shall_v short_o evince_v let_v we_o suppose_v that_o the_o church_n and_o her_o infallibility_n consist_v in_o the_o council_n alone_o you_o shall_v present_o be_v contradict_v by_o some_o man_n of_o that_o same_o church_n but_o to_o pass_v this_o whence_o pray_v do_v it_o appear_v that_o this_o council_n be_v infallible_a for_o first_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o of_o thing_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n there_o can_v be_v make_v up_o another_o thing_n of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a nature_n therefore_o all_o the_o member_n of_o which_o this_o council_n consist_v be_v fallible_a how_o come_v the_o council_n itself_o to_o be_v infallible_a for_o if_o this_o infallibility_n come_v but_o then_o to_o the_o council_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o to_o constitute_v one_o synodical_a body_n where_o pray_o be_v it_o before_o in_o what_o corner_n of_o the_o world_n do_v it_o lurk_v from_o whence_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n do_v this_o good_a infallibility_n come_v down_o upon_o the_o father_n of_o the_o council_n or_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o it_o after_o the_o council_n be_v dissolve_v where_o shall_v it_o compose_v its_o head_n to_o rest_v that_o have_v be_v toss_v and_o weary_v by_o so_o many_o jangle_n and_o gramatication_n moreover_o how_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o council_n have_v be_v lawful_o or_o at_o all_o baptize_v see_v you_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o priest_n or_o old_a woman_n that_o baptize_v they_o upon_o which_o the_o efficacy_n of_o

the_o constitution_n of_o a_o bishop_n in_o svo_fw-la formali_fw-la and_o unless_o you_o can_v persuade_v yourself_o that_o you_o believe_v all_o these_o with_o a_o divine_a and_o infallible_a faith_n you_o can_v embrace_v their_o decree_n for_o infallible_a again_o if_o this_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o council_n there_o shall_v be_v always_o extant_a such_o a_o council_n to_o which_o disagree_v party_n may_v have_v recourse_n and_o receive_v a_o final_a determination_n of_o their_o controversy_n that_o so_o all_o scruple_n be_v remove_v out_o of_o their_o

yet_o be_v impossible_a how_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o this_o council_n be_v not_o misguide_v by_o partiality_n that_o it_o be_v not_o as_o bad_a as_o that_o of_o ariminum_n and_o need_v not_o to_o be_v correct_v by_o a_o subsequent_a council_n as_o many_o council_n have_v be_v if_o we_o believe_v augustine_n you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o christ_n promise_v unto_o his_o disciple_n and_o consequent_o to_o the_o church_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n shall_v come_v and_o guide_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n joh._n 16.13_o and_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o mat._n 16.18_o for_o answer_v i_o deny_v not_o that_o christ_n promise_v his_o discipy_n the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o extraordinary_a thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v confound_v with_o ordinary_a for_o they_o receive_v both_o the_o matter_n and_o word_n of_o what_o they_o write_v from_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o in_o after-age_n the_o church_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o scripture_n as_o sufficient_a for_o all_o manner_n of_o holy_a instruction_n cal._n 1.2_o tim._n 3.15_o 16_o 17._o which_o if_o the_o father_n of_o the_o council_n do_v follow_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o god_n will_v afford_v they_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o spirit_n but_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o council_n do_v hereby_o become_v infallible_a 2._o when_o christ_n say_v that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n he_o do_v not_o understand_v any_o particular_a church_n of_o their_o bishop_n but_o the_o universal_a church_n which_o that_o it_o can_v err_v in_o fundamental_o we_o believe_v and_o assert_v 3._o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n preside_v in_o this_o or_o that_o council_n see_v the_o council_n of_o ariminum_n may_v be_v call_v a_o council_n as_o well_o as_o the_o nicene_n 4._o how_o can_v you_o be_v sure_a of_o any_o council_n that_o the_o member_n thereof_o speak_v from_o a_o love_n to_o truth_n and_o desire_v of_o peace_n or_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o partiality_n that_o their_o decree_n be_v frame_v more_o by_o the_o weight_n of_o reason_n and_o scripture_n than_o by_o the_o multitude_n of_o vote_n that_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n to_o which_o as_o a_o member_n of_o that_o synod_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v bring_v from_o rome_n in_o the_o bag_n of_o the_o roman_a packet_n and_o stay_v long_o away_o when_o the_o water_n do_v rise_v but_o come_v quick_o thither_o when_o they_o be_v sallen_v as_o be_v afraid_a to_o be_v wet_a or_o drown_v 5._o it_o be_v ridiculous_a for_o a_o papist_n to_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o infallibility_n of_o council_n from_o scripture_n for_o i_o ask_v he_o this_o question_n whence_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o that_o church_n be_v infallible_a who_o office_n it_o be_v both_o to_o make_v a_o rule_n or_o canon_n and_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o we_o leave_v depend_v upon_o the_o church_n now_o if_o the_o church_n give_v the_o scripture_n their_o authority_n as_o to_o we_o how_o can_v they_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v into_o what_o difficulty_n they_o involve_v themselves_o who_o place_n the_o church_n with_o its_o infallibility_n in_o the_o council_n nor_o be_v it_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o absurd_a to_o settle_v it_o in_o the_o pope_n alone_o a_o assertion_n so_o foolish_a and_o ridiculous_a that_o the_o very_o recite_v of_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a confutation_n namely_o to_o place_v the_o church_n in_o one_o man_n the_o church_n i_o say_v which_o even_o though_o representative_a be_v formal_o a_o congregation_n of_o many_o nevertheless_o we_o shall_v proceed_v in_o the_o method_n we_o have_v begin_v the_o jesuit_n do_v general_o hold_v this_o opinion_n and_o affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n alone_o like_o the_o pythia_n of_o delphos_n may_v frame_v decree_n and_o impose_v they_o upon_o the_o people_n but_o the_o forementioned_a difficulty_n return_v for_o how_o can_v you_o persuade_v yourself_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v popable_a that_o he_o be_v right_o if_o at_o all_o baptize_v that_o he_o obtain_v not_o the_o popedom_n by_o force_n by_o fraud_n or_o by_o simony_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n for_o we_o have_v a_o instance_n of_o a_o woman_n pope_n namely_o pope_n joan_n any_o of_o which_o be_v suppose_v render_v the_o pope_n no_o more_o a_o pope_n moreover_o how_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o the_o pope_n when_o he_o go_v about_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o decree_n neglect_v not_o the_o usual_a preparation_n namely_o fast_v and_o prayer_n for_o seven_o day_n etc._n etc._n that_o he_o act_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o conclave_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o private_a judgement_n or_o humour_n now_o if_o these_o condition_n be_v want_v the_o decree_n be_v not_o pronounce_v from_o the_o chair_n and_o therefore_o not_o infallible_a nor_o obligatory_a to_o the_o conscience_n further_o by_o what_o argument_n can_v you_o be_v convince_v that_o this_o infallibility_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o paris_n for_o example_n as_o much_o as_o to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v remove_v from_o the_o roman_a chair_n for_o gerson_n have_v write_v a_o treatise_n concern_v the_o possibility_n of_o remove_v it_o final_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v that_o one_o single_a man_n be_v infallible_a in_o matter_n of_o faith_n see_v he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o there_o be_v manifest_a example_n of_o his_o have_v be_v actual_o deceive_v but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v sly_a to_o that_o vulgar_a distinction_n of_o the_o
