christ_n to_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n so_o as_o that_o she_o be_v never_o so_o overclouded_n with_o error_n but_o that_o she_o have_v enjoy_v the_o fruition_n of_o that_o promise_n matth._n 16._o in_o some_o good_a measure_n ever_o since_o it_o be_v make_v nor_o shall_v she_o ever_o so_o close_o with_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n as_o by_o general_a consent_n and_o full_a authority_n to_o

the_o leader_n into_o all_o truth_n will_v have_v omit_v the_o use_n of_o that_o mean_n but_o he_o know_v that_o such_o authority_n the_o church_n have_v none_o as_o i_o show_v from_o 1_o cor._n 5._o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v to_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v without_o do_v not_o you_o also_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v within_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o mention_v any_o such_o power_n and_o though_o stephen_n do_v many_o wonder_n among_o the_o people_n yet_o at_o this_o time_n when_o he_o so_o powerful_o vanquish_v his_o adversary_n he_o do_v none_o at_o all_o but_o only_o

have_v not_o do_v it_o nor_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v do_v as_o i_o show_v that_o stephen_n appeal_v to_o scripture_n only_a etc._n etc._n so_o i_o also_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o

baptist_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o the_o difference_n which_o arise_v in_o the_o church_n as_o such_o and_o indeed_o you_o go_v amiss_o in_o this_o matter_n throughout_o the_o whole_a discourse_n here_o you_o seem_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o rule_v according_a to_o scripture_n but_o you_o will_v allow_v i_o to_o judge_v whether_o she_o do_v so_o or_o not_o but_o i_o

the_o church_n because_o this_o power_n lie_v in_o the_o church_n as_o embody_a together_o but_o the_o former_a to_o wit_n a_o judgement_n of_o science_n or_o knowledge_n be_v particular_a to_o each_o

judge_v you_o what_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o give_v any_o wise_a man_n at_o corinth_n leave_v to_o judge_v of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v so_o as_o to_o censure_v what_o he_o have_v deliver_v yet_o he_o must_v exercise_v his_o understanding_n to_o judge_v of_o what_o paul_n have_v say_v thereby_o to_o find_v out_o the_o verity_n of_o what_o be_v speak_v but_o yet_o i_o do_v confess_v that_o our_o case_n and_o the_o case_n of_o christian_n then_o do_v differ_v for_o paul_n be_v a_o foundation-lay_a a_o master-builder_n so_o that_o the_o member_n may_v not_o so_o well_o judge_v then_o as_o now_o yet_o the_o church_n now_o be_v to_o build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n which_o be_v lay_v already_o and_o you_o know_v that_o i_o have_v in_o my_o rejoynder_n acknowledge_v that_o it_o very_o near_o concern_v particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n to_o have_v great_a regard_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n when_o after_o serious_a debate_n they_o deliver_v their_o sentence_n in_o any_o point_n disputable_a and_o further_a as_o touch_v your_o church_n you_o tell_v i_o anon_o that_o even_o a_o heathen_a may_v judge_v of_o the_o holiness_n of_o your_o church_n by_o the_o law_n of_o conscience_n and_o then_o why_o may_v he_o not_o by_o the_o same_o law_n judge_v your_o church_n concern_v her_o unholiness_n nay_o very_o he_o must_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v both_o way_n or_o else_o he_o have_v no_o judgement_n and_o if_o a_o heathen_a have_v this_o privilege_n and_o ability_n then_o why_o not_o a_o man_n profess_v christianity_n who_o have_v not_o only_o the_o conscience-law_n but_o also_o the_o write_a law_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o understand_v thing_n more_o excellent_a rom._n 2._o from_o all_o this_o i_o only_o conclude_v that_o each_o particular_a aught_o to_o have_v the_o free_a exercise_n of_o his_o judgement_n in_o what_o he_o choose_v or_o refuse_v since_o without_o this_o he_o can_v choose_v or_o refuse_v any_o thing_n with_o confidence_n nor_o to_o his_o comfort_n and_o concern_v controversy_n in_o the_o church_n i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o in_o these_o day_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v the_o sentence_n of_o a_o multitude_n though_o assemble_v in_o council_n so_o as_o to_o hold_v their_o sentence_n absolute_o infallible_a for_o the_o promise_n of_o infallibility_n be_v not_o make_v to_o a_o certain_a select_a number_n except_v of_o bishop_n but_o to_o the_o church_n take_v collective_o and_o we_o may_v remember_v that_o a_o great_a assembly_n of_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a church_n err_v in_o judgement_n with_o unanimous_a consent_n when_o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v one_o micaiah_n at_o home_n which_o understand_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o will._n wherefore_o i_o here_o conclude_v although_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o weigh_v with_o great_a respect_n the_o thing_n conclude_v of_o by_o their_o pastor_n yet_o so_o may_v it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v swerve_v from_o the_o truth_n whilst_o god_n clear_v it_o up_o by_o some_o particular_a rather_o than_o by_o such_o a_o assembly_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v very_o well_o a_o say_n of_o gerson_n if_o it_o shall_v so_o happen_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o general_n council_n assemble_v in_o doct._n which_o such_o a_o man_n be_v present_a as_o be_v well_o instruct_v if_o the_o great_a part_n shall_v decline_v through_o malice_n or_o ignorance_n to_o the_o opposition_n of_o the_o gospel_n such_o a_o layman_n may_v be_v object_v against_o the_o say_a general_n council_n and_o say_v panormitan_n in_o matter_n which_o concern_v signif_n faith_n the_o say_n of_o a_o layman_n ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n if_o his_o say_n be_v more_o probable_a by_o better_a authority_n of_o scripture_n than_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n you_o often_o tell_v i_o that_o to_o appeal_v to_o the_o spirit_n speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a way_n to_o decide_v our_o controversy_n and_o that_o because_o you_o may_v challenge_v they_o to_o be_v for_o you_o etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v by_o retort_v your_o argument_n thus_o that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o live_a voice_n of_o the_o church_n to_o wit_n volume_n of_o father_n and_o decree_n of_o council_n be_v therefore_o insufficient_a to_o decide_v our_o controversy_n because_o your_o opposite_n do_v say_v they_o be_v for_o they_o and_o against_o you_o and_o now_o you_o must_v answer_v your_o own_o query_n viz._n who_o must_v take_v up_o this_o quarrel_n you_o

be_v so_o plain_a as_o that_o you_o can_v defend_v yourself_o yet_o you_o seem_v loath_a to_o decline_v your_o error_n and_o will_v fasten_v a_o very_a gross_a passage_n upon_o i_o namely_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v no_o rule_n for_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o her_o communion_n as_o not_o to_o be_v a_o light_n for_o such_o as_o grope_v in_o the_o dark_a a_o manifest_a

unconvert_v one_o to_o appeal_v to_o her_o judgment-seat_n in_o controversy_n between_o they_o and_o she_o and_o i_o ask_v you_o if_o you_o will_v not_o scorn_v we_o if_o we_o shall_v call_v upon_o you_o to_o appeal_v unto_o we_o as_o your_o judge_n whether_o we_o or_o you_o be_v the_o church_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o you_o will_v i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v equal_o absurd_a for_o you_o to_o desire_v we_o to_o appeal_v to_o you_o as_o our_o judge_n but_o you_o may_v find_v it_o plain_a enough_o in_o my_o paper_n that_o i_o do_v believe_v the_o church_n so_o to_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o
