perfect_a which_o now_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v begin_v in_o us._n chap_n xii_o whether_o the_o church_n may_v err_v or_o no._n this_o question_n to_o wit_n whether_o the_o church_n can_v err_v have_v be_v diverse_a time_n toss_v and_o handle_v for_o the_o open_n and_o unfolding_n whereof_o we_o must_v first_o strive_v to_o know_v after_o what_o manner_n or_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o word_n church_n be_v here_o to_o be_v take_v i_o mean_v whether_o we_o must_v understand_v this_o of_o the_o catholic_a and_o universal_a church_n or_o else_o of_o the_o particular_a church_n but_o the_o controversy_n be_v not_o in_o my_o judgement_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o we_o all_o agree_v herein_o that_o she_o can_v err_v as_o touch_v faith_n and_o indeed_o how_o shall_v she_o err_v see_v that_o follow_a jesus_n christ_n her_o head_n and_o her_o husband_n she_o walk_v not_o in_o darkness_n but_o in_o the_o light_n of_o life_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o faithful_a people_n universal_o even_o from_o the_o first_o unto_o the_o last_o shall_v fall_v into_o error_n for_o there_o have_v be_v always_o some_o preserve_v through_o the_o goodness_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o who_o truth_n itself_o through_o other_o man_n naughtiness_n bring_v as_o it_o be_v to_o nothing_o or_o at_o the_o least_o destituted_a and_o forsake_v have_v yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v restore_v to_o her_o former_a force_n and_o be_v yet_o still_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v wherefore_o this_o question_n be_v touch_v a_o particular_a church_n touch_v which_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o hear_v the_o judgement_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o romishe_a catholic_n upon_o this_o that_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o church_n so_o take_v can_v err_v follow_v herein_o the_o novatians_n donatist_n and_o other_o heretic_n and_o afterwards_o we_o will_v show_v forth_o &_o put_v down_o our_o advice_n and_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n the_o romishe_a catholic_n think_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v although_o she_o do_v and_o appoint_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n she_o may_v go_v and_o walk_v without_o the_o order_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n and_o although_o she_o go_v and_o walk_v yet_o she_o can_v err_v or_o go_v astray_o but_o they_o separate_v that_o which_o ought_v always_o to_o remain_v &_o abide_v join_v together_o for_o if_o the_o church_n follow_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o keep_v she_o from_o error_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o she_o follow_v it_o therein_o she_o do_v well_o and_o can_v err_v the_o reason_n whereby_o they_o will_v persuade_v man_n that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v be_v these_o follow_v the_o first_o be_v this_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n forsake_v his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o spouse_n or_o wife_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o can_v err_v i_o answer_v by_o a_o distinction_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o church_n follow_v jesus_n christ_n it_o can_v be_v forsake_v of_o he_o and_o can_v err_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o live_v in_o the_o world_n do_v stray_v from_o christ_n and_o go_v aside_o from_o god_n commandment_n it_o be_v forsake_v of_o he_o and_o do_v err_v the_o second_o reason_n the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 3.15_o 1._o tim._n 3.15_o wherefore_o it_o can_v err_v i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n a_o double_a error_n the_o one_o touch_v the_o word_n church_n for_o saint_n paul_n mean_v the_o catholic_a church_n &_o not_o any_o particular_a one_o the_o other_o be_v concern_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o he_o call_v the_o church_n the_o pillar_n

and_o ground_n of_o truth_n not_o that_o it_o be_v so_o simple_o and_o indeed_o of_o itself_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o because_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v not_o place_n in_o the_o world_n save_v only_o in_o the_o church_n for_o as_o much_o therefore_o as_o god_n maintain_v his_o truth_n amongst_o man_n timoth._n chrysost_n in_o 3_o cap._n 1._o ad_fw-la timoth._n and_o make_v it_o always_o to_o go_v his_o right_a course_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o be_v the_o church_n call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o be_v short_a because_o that_o god_n himself_o come_v not_o down_o from_o heaven_n and_o do_v not_o every_o day_n send_v his_o angel_n to_o maintain_v his_o truth_n among_o man_n &_o to_o publish_v it_o to_o the_o world_n but_o use_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n for_o this_o effect_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v call_v the_o column_n or_o pillar_n of_o truth_n because_o that_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v retain_v amongst_o man_n and_o countergarded_a to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o decay_v not_o or_o perish_v from_o the_o memory_n or_o remembrance_n of_o man_n the_o third_o reason_n the_o church_n be_v govern_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n how_o then_o can_v it_o err_v i_o answer_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o church_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n suffer_v it_o himself_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o he_o &_o obey_v he_o she_o can_v err_v but_o if_o she_o do_v the_o contrary_a she_o may_v err_v and_o do_v err_v the_o four_o reason_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n no_o error_n can_v have_v any_o place_n 13.24.16.19_o mat._n 13.24.16.19_o for_o truth_n reign_v therein_o but_o the_o church_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o in_o the_o church_n no_o error_n can_v have_v place_n all_o this_o be_v true_a of_o the_o catholic_a church_n yea_o and_o of_o particular_a church_n also_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n and_o of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o be_v assembly_n subject_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n but_o where_o be_v that_o particular_a church_n so_o obedient_a to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n that_o it_o err_v not_o and_o fail_v not_o in_o many_o point_n and_o particular_a duty_n the_o five_o reason_n counsel_n can_v err_v but_o the_o church_n consist_v of_o counsel_n therefore_o the_o church_n can_v err_v this_o syllogism_n pretend_v and_o labour_v to_o prove_v a_o uncertain_a thing_n by_o another_o thing_n yet_o more_o uncertain_a for_o many_o example_n do_v plain_o testify_v that_o the_o counsel_n may_v err_v as_o indeed_o they_o have_v oftentimes_o err_v and_o touch_v the_o first_o the_o council_n that_o ahab_n

in_o the_o wilderness_n with_o who_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n and_o have_v make_v they_o bind_v unto_o he_o by_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o benefit_n and_o good_a turn_n &_o have_v give_v

thereto_o indeed_o wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n may_v err_v and_o be_v deceive_v the_o second_o reason_n the_o church_n in_o old_a time_n do_v offer_v and_o give_v the_o holy_a

by_o their_o write_n but_o now_o this_o be_v not_o any_o more_o use_v for_o child_n which_o can_v not_o prove_v and_o examine_v themselves_o be_v not_o at_o this_o day_n receive_v to_o the_o partake_n of_o the_o sacrament_n wherefore_o the_o church_n in_o old_a time_n have_v err_v or_o else_o it_o err_v now_o but_o if_o we_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n and_o authority_n to_o change_v such_o custom_n and_o manner_n i_o reply_v to_o the_o contrary_a for_o now_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o of_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a in_o the_o use_n but_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v always_o constant_a and_o not_o subject_a to_o any_o change_n as_o to_o say_v that_o to_o day_n it_o have_v one_o sense_n and_o understanding_n &_o to_o morrow_n another_o

1.2_o 1._o cor._n 1.2_o as_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o pure_a and_o only_a truth_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o the_o church_n have_v in_o former_a time_n err_v to_o admit_v little_a infant_n to_o the_o holy_a supper_n and_o that_o at_o this_o day_n it_o do_v well_o to_o practice_v the_o contrary_n the_o three_o reason_n if_o the_o church_n can_v not_o err_v saint_n paul_n have_v without_o

vain_a otherwise_o saint_n paul_n himself_o shall_v have_v be_v deceive_v wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n may_v err_v the_o four_o reason_n those_o that_o can_v err_v have_v no_o
